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

[Ekso]

Imo 51 champ its build only for AoE encounters, nope?) and rotation only MB -> MB -> CB -> MB -> MB -> BF etc, for ST encounters we have DW para and RB specs

If you do the WM variant you are using finishers too fast and would clip your FB easily.

Good point. I forgot about DB.

Yea 51 champ will definitely be top AOE

[Ekso]

RB spec good on aoe too x.x, imo RB specs well be nerfed )

Orly.. what was the first sign

Bickering over PTS builds, especially over which 51 spec is better than the other when it is miles behind in single target DPS, is pretty pointless. Calm down and wait for the next PTS patches.

Did anyone check out how much damage spears were doing?

IMO 51champ sucks at AOE compared to 38 RW. I've tried every combination of builds and finishers I could think of. I have no idea why it's giving me less AOE. Maybe I just have to drop CB and Titan's Strike. Specially Titan's as it just sucks.

May be.. with 300% bonuses 51 champ or 38 RW slayers bearing and Force of Will ftw x.x

P.S. Btw even 51 champ have more strong hits with Slayers Bearing instead of Destroyers Bearing ;)

I second that i've been AOEing on 3 dummies and i see better AOE as 38 paragon over 51 champion

Man, trying to test this crap is next to impossible with so many people bunched up on one frecken dummy. You never know if it's being debuffed by something or not.

At one point there were some by the parade grounds. Not sure if they are still there

Have anyone tried Riftwalk while running 43 RB crystal?

Huge dps loss. You realize that 5% is nothing right? Additive bonuses suck horribly.

My suggestion to get the 2h RW spec back whilst still benefiting DW:

Allow WotM to boost follow-up damage as on live for both 2h and DW. RW gets the AP contribution for 2h without the extra damage.

RW gets the extra damage component with the additional AP boost and procs WotW when DWing.

That would be my two cents for the RW spec and DWing.

Alright, spent quite a bit of the night on the PTS. Just logged off after finally getting a guildy warrior to IFA me. Still waiting to get a bard to fervor me for a better 44para parse with the super energy starved rotation. Wrote down some notes. Probably not as detailed as I'd like them, but I'll just dump them here since everyone is dumping their finds.

All parses posted were done with cake, heroic powersurge, golem inductor(some slight RNG here), oilstone. Exquisites on the 1Hers. Some parses in the combatlog were just playing around and experimenting with Storm Glyph(sucks for 2H, awesome for 1Hers).
