In the 30s the dirge HOs have hit up to 400, why at 50 are they doing 70?

As posted before the people who get HOs to work say they work very well.

In the 30s I had one skill that could do up to 400 damage.




You did not answer my question

Because it depends on the HO. I have two solo HO's that still hit between 70 and 100 damage.

The point is an HO is NOT a spell/combat art for a given class. Its seperate and to try to factor in HO damage when comparing classes isn't rational.






Again you did not answer my question.

Your solo HO may do 100 points however group with a rogue and compleate Swindlers gift and now all your special attacks are doing 10% more damamge, in addition to the huge aggro boost, if I compleated swindlers gift I could pull a mob from a pre fix zerker. Second the commmon HO chain is a 200-300 point dd at level 30, and the rare hits up to 500. This is an ability usabel every 10 seconds, the high damamge monk kicks are on a 30 second timer, three attacks at 200 outdamamged your 400 point attack, that however is hitting for 440 btw. In addition to the damamge they can change the wheel, really key when looking for a specific ability, like the slow proc buff or the healing proc buff that the priests classes have. Yes they take some extra work to compleate, but refusing to use these abilites and saying there class is broke, is unfounded. Rouge classes have very powerfull and I allways want one in my group.

As for them being ballanced I dont know, however you will ahve to show me proof there not, and I will reject any DPS claims without the use of HOs, HOs work and work well.

That is the reason no one bothers talking to you on this forum.  You always ask for proof and can't provide any and you set up ridiculous rules in order for something to be proven.
 
HOs are chump change in the high end game.  Period.  To try to use something based on archtype as a reinforcement of subclass balance shows your lack of understanding of fundamental game systems.
