Totally had a bad day and bit your head off Moj, sorry bout that.

Working on patching test atm. Plan to attempt a couple 10 hour parses. Have a fully raid buffed ranger on that I /testcopy'd tonight.

Wondering if there are any test server or test arena commands that will be useful to me.

[Brohg]

You'll need to "/say increase defense" a lot. ~100 times to get the mitigation of Volska's Husk basepop, I haven't had occasion to test if that's sufficient for content beyond that. Make a hotbutton with the command on all five lines, hit the button 20-21 times.

Please make to include hit counts into your results. The shift in hit counts is a much more interesting result than the DPS delta.

[Brohg]

Atk boost does not affect accuracy. What Atk boost does is shift DI multiplier, so there are more heavy hits than before.

Anyone had an opportunity to parse more in depth on this yet?

[Conchenn]

[Brohg]

Yes, it is. Pray with us that it never goes live.

[Conchenn]

Praying goes agaisnt everything i believe in . . . if you pray for something and never get it yer hopes are crushed, if you pray for something you don't want your liable to get it and yea given the pattern of sony screwing with ranger things that we wanted and didn't need screwing with . . . Yeah i'm gonna go ahead and keep my head down.

Cripple was different. Cripple was replaced by Feralization line as the secondary debuff.

Ok... Only 15 min parses but havenot had near the time I thought I would.

Parse 1 is AFK BURN DPS. Shaman Epic, Infusion, Xan Fi, Drunken Fist, Second Spire, Speed FOCUS without champion (3706 attack).
/GU Test Ninety Five in 875s, 13120k @14995dps --- Eaglese 13120k @14995dps

Parse 2 is the same thing with champion (3895 attack).
/GU Test Ninety Five in 878s, 13139k @14964dps --- Eaglese 13139k @14964dps

On a 15 min test champions is not enough to counteract random variance. In fact on this test it showed lower DPS *shrug*.

On one last note, Anas you can stop casting champions on the groups I am in, I won't bitch about it anymore.

Ive been MIA for a week or so without my computer, getting back to learning how to do a good long term parse. Hoping to have a champ/no-champ 10hour parse within a week or so depending on work schedule...

[Tordail]

Holy Christ in a handbasket, HELL YEAH.

[Mobrak]

The changes on Test aren't in lucy yet. Anyone on the test server able to let us know if the patched version of Mammoth's Force gives 140 atk... or more.... or less?

I'm still gonna curse zee druids, because they like mana so much

[Beafly]

Any word if adding attack to Mammoth's Force is live now? Any good reference that shows the change?

[Tordail]

It was pushed to Test with the Jan. 6 patch, so I doubt it will be made Live until the February patch (unless something happens and they push it Live sooner).
