HoH - Soul Bound Gear

[mukkel]

I've been looking at the Soul Bound gear and comparing it to Ancient. There is one significant difference I see between both sets (+Attack). For a melee DPS set, it seems odd to not have much +Attack:

Full sets:
Ancient - 220 +Attack
Soulbound - 50 +Attack

Currently, the attack cap is 2300? Partially, I think why melee DPS are so significantly behind their casting counterparts is partially because of this. At the moment, my rogue is in full T8 and according to Magelo sits at roughly 1300 attack (includes 6 donator items). You compare this to a T6 rogue with no donators and they're sitting at 1900ish.

Thoughts?

I don't remember the atk cap on item on this server , but you can reach it with like 3 donor item hehe, It's something around 150 or 200

Teardrop - 50
Arion - 50
Legs - 75
Boots - 0
Flahran - 0
Razor - 0

So of my 6 donors, only 3 actually have + attack. None of the weapons have attack on them.

do a #mystats to find the server attack cap. magelo is reporting low. there are also huge differences in how attack is viewed in your UI between Titanium and SoF+ clients.

I'll do that and report back. One thing I have noticed though with my rogue specifically is that it's quite rare to get a max hit of any type (pierce, strike, backstab). Looking at parses in the class balance thread, it's very clear that this is the case since for example my "average crit backstab" is roughly 2300 damage.
