AP Scaling and other DPS changes to the Warrior going up to PTS

[Blackblade]

last time i parsed my 44para, i maxed at 3k. Is 51pts really 400 dps more? with Full HK relics. around 1300 AP, little less then 1k Crit

Difference lies in crit. Your build would likely scale better in a raid (although I think you need more base crit to hit 1187 in raid) then the above post as he is likely stacking crit or simply had a very good sequence of RNG on finishers.

I tried parsing without golem inductor to reduce RNG. GI seems to add around 200 dps.

51 Champ/15RB -> 2.9k
51 Champ/13RB/2BM -> 3.0k
28 PG/22Champ/16RB -> 2.5k
51 PG/15RB ->2.7 (I didn't use SB or Flurry though)
51 RB/15PG -> 2.6-2.7ish


PTS was lagging a ton, so I was having a hard time hitting more than a 2 min parse without a spike.

Interesting. I thought it was HK gear.

[intrinsc]

Why are people parsing with anything but their live gear?

[Zughalala]

what was your rotation? i cant seem to get my head around how u did 3400, self buffed.

With full HK relic gear and GI I had it at 2900.

SLI->FB->SwB->IB
SLI->FB->Flurry.....->SLI
SLI->FB->IB->IB

It's not bad for 51 PG

He used the placeholder ID gear which is a tier up from HK/live gear..

yea, i have that also, and cant break 3k. I get better with my HK relics, and 44/20/2 spec

No rotation, just a priority setup

Flurry
Swift Blades
Fiery
Icy

The top warrior parses i saw giving out fervor alone were 3400-3500 spiking to 3700 for short times using 51champ/15RB.

opener was disruptive-->power-->fiery then power,power, icy-->power,power, icy-->power,power,icy

then entire rest of rot is disruptive, fiery --> power,power, icy x3

proper timing used on cooldown, but was mentioned that it would be saved for AoE abilities on fights that aren't pure ST.

These were using ID relic gear bags(same synergy crystal bonus atm) with BiS enchants(what wasn't in bag was obtained normally)

He was asking about 51 paragon.

But 3400-3500 seems about right assuming that gear is a half tier up.

I was exercising on 51/15 (ch/rb) rotation and I just wanted to mention that it's beautiful.
It kind of reminds me RW-2H rotations as you are now performing circles of FB instead of circles of SLI.
You also want your deliberate to hit before you renew FB and disruptive to go right after an IB so that u can hit another IB almost back to back - very nice timings there.
AoE is an easy 2 buttons derp, however, min-maxers will have to manage their Proper Timing cooldown in encounters that you have to switch from ST to AoE and vise versa by given opportunity which is spicy enough to make up for aoe rotation being easier.

I've also noticed that it's scaling quite nice with skill as a messed up rotation is penalized by 100-200 dps (self buffed on dummy) compared to a perfect one.
Also it might not be the hardest rotation ever but do not rush to underestimate it as there are no ranged abilities in this build and even the shortest melee disconnection is enough to get you out of your timings.
Actually expect it to happen a lot in heavy movement fights (and remember that u dont have 2x charges + fleet of foot like u do in 38para-2h) - This is where pro-active players might shine -


My thumbs up for this build. I defo vote for it to be one of the best-choices for 2H dps or at least a good example of what kind of rotations are considered fun (if not challenging) to play. cheers!

The only thing that bothers me about a 51champ build being best for ST is that it's crystal has nothing good for ST.

[Acanis]

Anyone test BM with the latest PTS update, or have those changes not been pushed yet?

[YobiRaion]

Actually I want to correct my above post. AoE rotation is a well 3 button rotation since u also have concerned beast as a finisher


But anyway, what I really wanted to ask is if "Titan's Strike" is currently broken on PTS or I misunderstood the tooltip.
From what I understand it hits up to 5 enemies for some Base damage + bonus damage depending on your AP.

However, I've been testing in right now on PTS and something seems to be very wrong with it.
Half hits will go ~1100 non-crits & ~1700 crits while others are going ~2.8k non-crits and ~4.9k crits.
It also happens that one of the 5 targets will be crit-ed for 1.7k and the target next to it will receive non-crit for 2.8k which is just weird.


Is it broken or just the main target gets hit for base+bonus damage while the 5 nearby targets get hit only by the bonus damage?
