Strikethrough = Worthless... PROOF!

<p>I posted this same thing on the epic weapon thread <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=180&topic_id=422082�" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Here</a> but figured I'd transfer the data over to here as well, just to let everyone know how worthless Strikethrough really is.</p><p>I just randomly went back and found a log where I was in VP, this one happens to be on May 11, 2008 and is the entire first wing... I have no idea what my group setup was or anything, but the numbers that matter are as follows (from ACT):</p><p>I had 12947 swingsI missed 1127 timesMy To-Hit% was 87.55My Ext DPS was 2302My Average hit was 1074and the duration was 01:22:23</p><p>ACT doesn't pick up strikethrough, so I manualy went through the log, and found that I "struck through" 201 times</p><p>I feel it is important to mention I was the offtank, and tanked the adds on Nexona, Druushk, and Eldar Ekron, which is where a majority of my strikethrough's did come from, however, even with me having tanked those few mobs, I still only gained about 1.5% hitrate from strikethrough.</p><p>So... 201 extra hits, at an average of 1074 damage per hit, over 01:22:23 period (201*1074/4943) gives me a whopping 43.7 dps on my first floor zonewide of VP.</p><p>to put that in perspective, morning star, my lowest damage CA did 61 dps.</p><p>mmm... our epic weapon pwns faces, doesn't it?!</p>

Interesting.  I'll do some tests too then, thanks for this.<div></div><div>What you can do with ACT is have it play some sound when a trigger happens, so you could get it to play something appropriate when strikethrough is detected, so you'll see when it's happening.   I use this to generate a little 'slap' sound on ay melee hit so I can quickly tell when I drop out of melee range.   Maybe I'll add a little grunt on strikethrough <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div></div><div></div>
