The real deal on the hemo change
by Lukass | 06/12/2007 18:10:33 Just thought I'd spell out out how severe the hemo nerf is for raiding rogues. Not bad really! With my 11/27/23 spec, my damage from the instant attack portion of hemo is about 21% of my total damage in fights when rupture is useable. The nerf from 125% to 110% is a 12% loss in hemo damage. 0.21*0.12 = roughly 2.5% loss in your overall damage as seen on the damage meter (i.e. not counting damage from other ppl using your hemo stacks). The change to the hemo debuff ups the damage it does from 360 to 420 (+60 damage). If you hemo roughly every 4 seconds, that is 15 DPS extra from the improved debuff. My average DPS is around 950, so this extra 15 DPS is a 1.6% damage buff (if you count it towards yourself). Even if you do a pimpin 1200 DPS, it is a 1.3% damage increase. As you can see, the majority of rogues will lose less than 1% DPS in raids, if you include the improved hemo debuff. Let me know if you see a mistake, I know ya will! edit: typos [ Post edited by Lukass ] |
by Vaneras | 07/12/2007 19:39:09 We realise that there are some confusion regarding the Hemo change, and that many of you feel that the damage reduction is too much. The developers felt that Hemo was overpowered. Pretty much every rogue was switching to Hemo because of this, so they made the change to tone it down somewhat. The developers want the subtlety tree to be a good support tree instead. |
