large decrease in dmg and crit%

[Nilbus]

Mention has been made of issue with focus effects specifically crit related ones, so probably affecting pets (Especially the aa crit bonuses)

[Denizen]

actually it seemed worse on July 14th than previously. It took forever to whittle Chaos down to size, like an hour, at least 30 minutes longer than per usual. Had other guildies note the same.

Ran the same tests as before on both my SK an NEC, no change to DPS was noticeable. Ran the test 3 times each and saw 10% variance up and down from the previous results.

Still seeing about 50 to 55% of the melee/pet damage these characters used to do pre-update.

Still feels like crits and other AA influences are just not working, but not sure that's all there is to it.

Happy to test in a different manner if it helps at all, just let me know.

There's a list of the reported bugs and we are looking into them all until they are all fixed, no exception. It's not forgotten.

Fair enough. Thanks for all you guys do.

I saw the update mentioned some changes to crits so thought I would post and update as a reference.

Aye the change from today's patch was just a small fix to the base % chance. We found 3 issues with crit chance code: base values (fixed), spell bonuses from buffs (returning bad values) and AA bonuses (returning bad values). Honestly the only part of crit damage that was working correctly was worn bonuses from items with cleave etc.

We are working on the last two issues

Found the issue finally. Crit % chance should be back to normal with next reboot.

The new update did improve the crit rate a lot. We are still missing a lot of dps though. Puff and I failed volkara event with 12 toons. It took us almost an hour just to get the 3 waves of adds down. We finally wiped on volkara around 15% or so, my god you should have seen all the adds she had spawned from the lack of dps lol.

on my bard, white dmg appears to be almost back to normal. I have to log off for now but when i get a chance ill take a closer look and see where the missing dmg is at.

Any specifics you can provide will be drastically helpful sticky! Right now we are just kind of looking through everything DPS related to see where things dont match up.

Wish I could offer better data....but here is what I can offer.

T1 test dummy in GH now gives 650ish dps on my SK

Before this latest crit update he was 500ish dps.

Pre big update he was at 1000ish dps.

So, noticeable change with crits to players but like sticky it is still down a good bit if the baseline should remain at Pre big update levels.

Coincedentally, pets didn't seem to have any change in dps in the latest crit update. Necro pet buffed the same was as before is still 3000ish dps.

This is kind of tough to give feedback on without specific asks.

I am happy to run any tests within my means if you have something in mind.
