<DIV>has any1 else noticed when using the t7 fabled weapon Twin Calamities that their dps in parses is significantly lower?  i had been averaging 6-700 dps in raids and then this weapon dropped and i now parse between 4-500 and sometimes lower (i am in a staic raid grp also, my other weapon is the Soulspur).  is it because of the piercing dmg chk or whats goin on here?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>also my str is capping well over 700+ in raids, i have heard some say that going that far over the cap is detrimental to dps output, can anyone confirm this?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thanks for your input in advance</DIV>

If not you will be missing a lot more, and therefore doing less dps, but it will correct itself in short order if you keep using the weapon... If your parser shows hit/miss percent check that out...</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>also my str is capping well over 700+ in raids, i have heard some say that going that far over the cap is detrimental to dps output, can anyone confirm this?<FONT color=#ffff00> Never heard of this but it sounds unlikely...</FONT><BR> <HR> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
