Melee Damage after the coming nerf....

[Oakbr]

I haven't seen much discussion about how our melee damage has been/will be affected by the incoming nerf.  Guess there may be a thread on it that I missed, and if so, somebody please link it. Otherwise, I'd like to see some parsed data with pre and post nerf melee damage.  I'm particularly interested in 2-handed melee damage output, as this will have a huge impact on the solo or non-tanking-grouped Pally.  We know spell/art  damage is taking a huge hit--if melee damage is boosted significantly, maybe we'll still be able to solo.  If not, we're pretty much screwed.....
