Lost 100dps somewhereFollow

#1 Jan 31 2008 at 1:03 AM Rating: Decent
I am using hemo/swords build for raiding, and I have noticed recently my DPS looks worse. I am pretty sure that did not happen right after the last hemo nerf. After the patch I still managed 1100dps on Nalorakk, now I can not break 1000dps any more.
I noticed the drop right after I made myself swiftstrike shoulders, and traded the 4 piece T4 bonus for them (which according to the spreadsheet changes my cyckle from 1s/5r to 2s/5r). That happened about a week after the patch. But anyhow, that was supposed to be an (expensive) upgrade, not a 100dps loss.
Nothing else changed in the meantime.
So why the heck I do worse now.

As long as you have 2pc t4 bonus 1s/5r is still the best cycle. The hemo nerf did drop personal dps somewhere around 5%, but that shouldn't be anywhere near 100dps, more like 40-60 depending on your gear level. I was doing 860ish over the course of a ssc raid night, now its more like 800.

Also while you did gain passive haste you lost quite a bit of hit(assuming you had hit socketed) from the t4 shoulders. Haste depends on hit to be most effective so you may want to resocket a bit for hit and you should see a significant increase in dam.

Without the 4-piece T4 bonus and without combat potency, the 1s/5r cycle will leave me 13 evergy-starved every cycle. 2s/5r cycle is exactly (on average) energy-balanced. So if S&D is priority, the later one seems to be better. Which is what the spreadsheet recommends, and my experience too.

Anyhow, I was awaiting some comments from other hemo users (it this called "tri-spec hemo"?). Have they noticed similar DPS drop? Rigth after the patch, later, not at all? Do you think the 4 price T4 bonus is so important? (it makes the 1s/5r cycle the better one).
