10% on an actual damage ability is huge!!
We aren’t going to be below aug dragons on boss damage anymore!

Edit felhammer has it estimated at 1.5% inc in keys and 4% for ST

ATM, but 18th we at least won’t be dead last anymore
I don’t need to be OP or broken, I just want to pump when I have gear and rotate on point

I think you’re mathing wrong because of modifiers
Well just have to see how it plays or get an Asian in here to really crunch numbers

6

what modifiers do you mean?

also just looking at the highest ST parse in nerubar and he has almost half the amount of damage of the above example on every one of those abilities while doing 1.87 billion damage overall, so it would be even less on this example of ST, again using the most extreme example of the top dps parse by a dh on any boss.

i do hope im wrong lololol

I could be wrong, but the ones in the rest of our kit that buff abilities like annihilation.

ah i see, well yeah those are there but theyre also being applied in the logs already so buffing those abilities by another 10% would give us an idea of how much of an increase overall it would be. i guess yeah… gotta wait til its added to sims to be certain. ah well. holding pattern on my excitement til then i guess

I’m just excited when I see any buff to pieces of our rotation instead of that immo aura/auto attack crap from last “buff”
That netted us around 1-2% more damage so I’m hopeful this more meaningful buff will be enough to rise us out of obscurity!

I get the reluctance for optimism though buddy
We been the red-headed stepchild for about a year

10

yeah i really, really, really want to be excited but i feel jaded at this point lol

11

Vhx just said felhammer has about 4% on ST on average and 1.5% on keys so probably better than i thought. Thank god for something tho

As long as the needle moves slowly in the right direction I’m happy!
Been moving a little too slow this year, but hopefully the recent pace sticks.
It’s better than a bait-n-switch huge buff that gets snatched back in a week

Literally my three favorite specs got buffed: Unholy, Devoker, and Havoc. It’s Xmas come early and I can’t wait for this patch now.

Honestly, it’s a bit much to take in :exploding_head:

This is realistically a ~3% buff in raid and 2% buff in M+ for DH. I’m sorry, this will do very little to affect Havoc’s relative strength to other DPS specs.

Do you really think that such a small buff will make DH better? Long cooldown abilities, low damage compared to other classes—will a 1% buff make any difference?

We’re literally in rank F for DPS. That buff is an insult. What we want are real changes, not minor buffs that are completely useless.
