lu43 Zerker Changes?

[MCS-Apophis]

<p>Has anyone else noticed a big drop in zerker DPS output since LU43?</p><p> Was in VoES tonight and holding aggro wasn't easy and my dps appeared to be half of what it usually is.</p><p> .....</p>

<p>Typically the reason people will see a substantial drop in DPS from one day to the next is due to group make up and/or buffs. Not having the right buffs from the right classes can put a severe dent in your dps.</p><p>I would think if there was a nerf to that magnitude, halfing your entire dps, it wouldn't go unoticed for more than 10 mins after the server came back up from maintanence, but then again, who knows... anything is possible...</p><p>What classes were you running with? and do you have a parse?</p>

i grouped COA with a zerk last night, she was doing fine dps, Cmos seems to have the better idea

yup when MT i have noticed if i have aggro transfer, dirge and 3 healers in my group i run about 1700 ZW, if i have aggro transfer, dirge, illu and 2 healers i run about 2300 ZW. Switching a defiler for an illu makes about a 600 dps swing for me.

I did the same Xita. We ran EH the other day with me tanking with an inquis, defiler, dirge, assassin, and illu. My ZW ended up around 2700.

<p>ya but that was on squishy EH mobs <img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p> *sorry had to have a little fun *</p>

<p>Hehe it's ok Xita. I'm sure my ZW will drop a bit when we start into RoK but as long as I stay above 2.3k or so I won't complain. Once I start picking up the RoK raid gear my numbers will come back up.</p><p>  Sadly my guild hit Thuuga last night and due to some wife aggro neither one of us made the raid yesterday. I haven't been on today to find out but I hope the did ok. And I'm sure our pally was all "[Removed for Content]!?!?!" since I'm sure he got bumped up to the OT spot in my absence hehehe.</p>
