multi-attack or dps?

[Abner]

<p>What's better - 20% more damage per second, or 20% multi-attack chance? My guess is the dps, but I'm sure some people have run the numbers. Thanks</p>

<p>Multi-attack.  DPS caps lower and is easier to get via buffs, while Multi-attack doesn't cap until 600, and there are fewer buffs available for it.  </p>

<p>Multi attack by folds, this is where your main damage and aggr come from.</p>

Really? I'm almost up at 600 and I have 6 skyshrine raid gear items...</p><p>Also no, never choose dps, you can literally rub your face against the ceiling without even trying. Same with attack speed.</p>

<p>Caps for Melee Stats (mostly soft caps): DPS - 200 (soft cap with serious diminishing returns, I would even reforge down to 150 if you aren't a Dirge cuz after 100 you hit hard deminishing returns as it is)</p><p> Haste - 200 (after 200 ~30 = 1 flurry)</p><p> MA - 600 (after 600 the next guaranteed attack is 1000)</p><p> Weapon Skill - ~650-700 (I sit at 660 unbuffed and hit 95%+ against raid mobs)</p>

<p>even with a small amount of DPS mods on gear in this expansion it is very easy to cap DPS mod as a zerk, especially with the temp buffs the class has.</p><p>don't go for any DPS mod gear if you are even remotely close to level 90-92.</p>

<p>I'm at 146 dps without my zerk buffs activated. With they're activated its at 220 and this is just solo.</p><p>Haste/DPS are both w hat the zerk was known for buff wise. We don't just cap it now, we cap it roughly 5 times over. Very minor flurry adds with haste is idiotic since you don't even see it. Especially since flurry is added to most raid gear in Skyshrine.</p><p>SoE really needs to figure out what the hell they're going to do with our class. Our buffs/mythbuffs are all but useless now.</p>
