Donars are still going to be the best available right? or are the 3.0's going to be better? hmph

[TheBloodmoon]

When 3.0's are released, I wouldn't be surprised to see Donors increase to edge them out, as is customary when new content is released.

[Harney]

The donor's will always be the best, though I'd assume epic 3.0 will be the closest item(s) in game to the donor.

[Deadset]

With them now being available I have a question in regards to them
The augments that are in them will they transfer or must they be removed prior to swapping them?
Fairly certain I know the answer but being at work and not able to play as of yet figure it wouldn't hurt to ask

[Lillu]

You have to remove the augs prior if you want to switch to the new one and want to keep your augments too. But again, switching it's optional of course.

[Skaxx]

As a Paladin, I probably won't be switching, though I love the new graphics, and even the proc. However, my wife and I's group actually takes advantage of the old Pally Donor heal to keep the group up, since we're only into T2ish. The new Donor has an amazing clicky, but the fact that it only has ~50% uptime, that would end up hurting more than helping.

[Lillu]

Remember, the uptime extends drastically with proper focus

[Skaxx]

OH! I assumed they wouldn't extend. WELL, IN THAT CASE ^_^

[Farine]

I realize the point in wanting to make each donor item different. However from my findings the old monk donor with the clicky effect is drastically more dps compared to the new one.

With 1 minute fights on Vlan my findings are this:

NOTE: I used nothing but auto attack(no clicking flying kick, also both donors are 100% unauuged)

Old Donor:
No Clicky: 2736dps
With Clicky: 6455 dps

New Donor:
No clicky: 2765 dps
With Clicky: 4170 DPS

Whether or not this is an intentional on the first donor buff being vastly higher damage or an error in server code, either way as it stands now, i see little benefit to picking the new donor.

This isnt meant to flame or complain, merely stating facts between the two, what you do/take it as is up to you.
