what's up with the pvp damage?

[poopp999]

<p>did they mess up dmg for assassins in pvp or what?</p><p>assasinate I should do around 2500-4100 dmg ( master ) in pvp, then ofcourse u take mitigation into consideration of the enemy. I threw an assassinate on a clothy same lvl as me ( 55 ) after using torture and it only did 1000 dmg. I'm well geared for my lvl have 530 str. These values dont even make any sense, clothy would on average mitigate around 38% or so or even 40% lets say, but then again i have enough + piercing and slashing to get more dmg through and still more than half of my dmg was mitigated by that clothy, and none of his buffs were on , he was just an idle wizard. Would anyone like to comment on whether theyve experienced lower dmg in pvp ?</p>

<p>AGI affects damage now, not STR.  Don't you wish those release notes had been complete?</p>

<p>still doesnt answer the horrendours reduction in pvp damage. My agi is actually higher than my str, is hovering around 560 depending a cple of pieces i keep switching 550-560.</p>

Could be people you are fighting now have toughness...depending on your tier...But self buffed I can get my AGI over 1140 and I've actually seen myself do more dmg now that crits are back in play.

<p>Agi affects CA dmg now or auto attk? or both?</p>

<p>Yes.  As a scout, Agi is your complete dps stat.  Int is worthless.  Str is worthless beyond carrying capacity.  You just need Agi for your dps, mana, avoidance, and crit mit needs.  Though of course Sta and Wis for survivability remains a requirement.</p>

<p>Devs REALLY need to post the changes because some people are still saying STR affects autoattack for scouts.</p>
