In uncertain cases you can look at your character animations. If the animations show that your ranged weapon is equipped when you use an ability then ranged weapon dps was used.

Yes it works against bosses. The resistance piercing in MM is only weak because it's 2% per point while Scorch and Wither is 5% per point.

Coup de Grace is weaker than Blazing Fury because...

The reason to take twilight force is for disconnects. NB's strength is the disconnects but without twilight force you gimp it. For pure melee fights you'd use a higher dps spec with worse disconnect...

There is a rare bug that causes this. Switching specs and/or respeccing fixes it.

There are quite a lot of easily accessible buttons near WASD movement buttons for abilities.
For me the first tier is these buttons which I use for the most common abilities: 1, 2, 3, 4, Q, E, R, F...

Ah yes the interrupt, I kind of forgot that it was at 12 when I thought about the point layout at the time I was writing about the purges. I too would value the interrupt higher than planebound...

You have both of these backwards. Slayers crystal is better than warmaster. Purges work in a first in-first out principle so the buff you apply first is the first one to get purged. You always do the...

Curative Blast is a selfbuff that does ticks of smart aoe healing to 10 people. Each tick has its own smart target selection. Therefore it doesn't gain anything from trying to refresh it more often...

Consuming Depths ticks 5 times with the mastery and 4 times without it. So in a parse where it does 17k dps with the mastery it would correspond to 3.4k dps of that. Without the mastery it would be...

This thread needs an assborn

Assborn

The parses on that week were done by 58 shadeborn spec and maelstrom. Both were heavily double or even tripple dipping into the stacked damage taken debuffs causing them to scale much higher from the...

Prancingturtle is full of inflated parses from the time you could stack beastmasters. Also runeshaper and maelstrom don't appear in the rankings at all because the site doesn't know what they are. So...

The hard part of Arisen Arak is finding 20 people who want to spend a few weeks to progress on it. Large portions of guild rosters start to go missing after a couple of nights on that boss due to how...

A builder which suits the situation best. I listed the builders in a rough priority order earlier in the guide.

It does proc poisons when it deals damage and it debuffs shadeborn damage taken by 10%. Void touch definitely needs to be used.

Value of phys crit scales about linearly with both your total dps and your crit power modifier. So if someone has a weight of 0.45 for crit when doing 140k dps and 1.9 crit power multiplier then...

Seal of Enhancement from runeshaper?

Assassin drain is 500 mana per hit with 1 second icd with 10 second duration. The typical drain you get from it is 4500 so you'd need 4 assassins to drain a frostkeeper. NB drain is 3% per hit and in...

The tooltip is a bit ambiguous. The other damage refers to damage that is not Bond of Night damage.

You can apply the pve guides for pvp too. Specs are largely the same except for pvp you might want to do swaps like taking 5 in riftstalker instead of 5 in nb subsoul and grabbing all the CC you can...

Open KaruulAlert, click on File and then General Configuration. Choose the "Shadow and outline" option for alert text effects and alert counter effects.

Shadow Flurry got tagged correctly as being death damage. That increases its damage by around 7%-8% in total due to Inescapable Bond and Born of Darkness affecting it now. The double dipping fixes...

Mirrored Strike buff is not worth that much for NB since only a small portion of dps comes from shadeborn abilities and the spec doesn't have eyes of the abyss talent to increase the effect of the...

Here's a few example parses.

Average rng: http://i.imgur.com/Bhspe8Q.png

It's still worth it in my opinion.
