The damage bonus increase for my paladin while using Nature’s Defender I’ve calculated (still an estimate) in the ballpark of +28.9% in average content with an expected degree of buffs. High attack buffs stacked (avatar + CotP with 255 str) lowers the % increase as damage bonus becomes a smaller relative proportion of expected damage dealt. High end content with high mob ac will make that damage bonus increases from around 14 to 40 will result in larger relative % gains as the damage bonus is a much larger proportion of damage dealt.
It’ll be a good change. Right now in xp groups with reasonable buffs I can expect around 50dps sustained (bursting some fights with luck in the 70s and gimping others as low as mid thirties.
That’s with the 2h dmg bonus only. To what degree being in the same tables as warriors are ... I don’t know but it should be a nice additional buff.
