Knight melee damage

[draconov]

I haven’t seen myself slashing for under 50 with my epic yet. I used to hit in 30’s and 40’s with epic but haven’t seen any numbers under 50 yet. I’m seeing more high 180’s and low 200’s more often. Haven’t tested this on harder mobs yet.

Similar results here using the same weapon as you. Most of the increase in maximum/minimum hit relative to pre-patch appears to be due to the damage bonus change, although hit distribution also appears less prone to producing strings of low/minimum hits like before. Haven't really checked accuracy yet, although I don't expect much drastic there.

You used to be able to see your damage bonus as a warrior by waiting for a crit and comparing the crit text vs the actual hit text.

Anyone able to parse an overall dps Increase here?

I have some info from my 60 paladin, here are the details:

I have logs of her tanking in the graveyard in Chardok using 2handed weapons, one from 2 months ago and one just completed a few hours ago. On caster mobs I use epic and on non-casters or undead I use Great Spear of Dawn for a little extra dps.

From two months ago:

Combined 2hander dps: 44.9
Epic avg hit: 77
Epic max hit: 177
Spear average hit: 110
Spear max hit: 256

And from my session in graveyard today:

Combined 2hander dps: 59.2
Epic avg hit: 103
Epic max hit: 206
Spear average hit: 144
Spear max hit: 295


My equipment has not upgraded in any way since two months ago. I'm sure there's some randomness in the numbers, but I don't think randomness or slightly different buffs accounts for the full 33% boost I see here. I threw in the avg and max hit numbers because the dps increase wasn't just using the higher dps weapon more - both weapons hit harder on average, and both weapons hit for higher max hits. The boost is real, it's just a matter of teasing out what the real percentage is. The rogue in my group was pleasantly surprised, I'll say that.

Haven't had good parse yet, but there's definitely a flat increase by hit from the damage bonus, and hits seems a bit more consistent... Through that second part is hard to confirm

I’ve noticed my 49 SK connecting a LOT more on red targets, too. Fwiw. The 30% previously reported (above) seems a bit high at lvl 49, but I haven’t maxed skill yet. Lots more white damage. Lots of connecting hits.

I’ve seen an increase of somewhere between 30 and 35% increase in dps on my paladin using

Damage bonus is now 40 per swing, nearly 30 more damage every hit. We’re on the same damage tables as warriors now so I’m seeing slightly higher DI spread. We still have lower offensive skills though so more misses are to be expected and warriors also have the triple attack advantage.

All in all I’m happy with the changes. The damage increase is very noticeable.

This is pretty awesome news in my opinion.

Borak, your numbers are legit. I'm seeing very similar numbers, too, as well as what everyone else is saying. I super stoked!
