Subject: Warrior Crit > Warlock Crit? |
| |
Ok- by now most of us have seen Evil's screenshot of his record 5.2k shadowbolt. Yes there were conditions and he has some decent gear including the ToEP trinket. Cries rained down to NERF warlocks - saying their crits are too powerful.
Im posting here a screenshot from a Warrior in my guild. He scored two crits in one game of Arathi Basin. One of them was for 4990 and the other was just over 5100. The warrior DID have the berserk powerup at the time - but it shows that other classes can / have achieved the same kind of damage.
Im not saying Nerf warriors, although i do believe that Epic geared warriors are insanely powerful. I think this is just another instance of the imbalance of itemisation within the game.
Anyway - here is the screenshot that the warrior took of his 5.1k crit - and conincidently this crit landed on a warlock >.< Ouch...

Yes, execute is not a good basis for measurement. However, warriors and rogues are having adjustments which will affect there crit damage in 1.8 (instant attack melee changes). There have been various issues of dramatic spikes of crit damage which the developers wanted to smooth out. These changes affect multiple classes, but are similar in that we are attempting to normalize damage for the classes and steer people away from trying to get that excessive damage.
All things are subject to change

Q u o t e:
What causes these spikes w/ melee classes? I'm sure we all know how it happened w/ the warlock class =P
Primarily with Arcanite Reaper/Mortal Strike Warriors and Barman Shanker/Ambush Rogues. The way the mechanics worked with weapon speed (pre-1.8) allowed them to use the slowest weapon possible and get an excessive multiplier to damage.
