Correct me if I am wrong but you are one of those r1 heroic whateverpletionist types, right ?
We all have fun our way but the above statement is just wrong. Superb ( and I mean really top notch party member or two ) damage is mandatory.

Actually. Im doing much higher than r1. Sorry you have low dcs and have never charmed a reaper or champs. Or intakilled anything... I know it doesnt sound possible but they do lots of damage.. i dont make vids but watch this... Cheesy

Statement isn't wrong at all ...... my tr group is mostly casters with a xbow rogue here and there and we run R6-R10 just fine without the ftr/pal/barb. Like Skrilla says, charm and insta mah nigga  Cool

don't give a fuck if it's solid, that works for him and them but don't make one way to be the only way and call bullshit or R1 on others saying something different is all I was getting at

Damage scales differently for each type.

melee scales higher than magic or ranged. sneak scales higher than melee. so every build will be wanting to max sneak anyway. sure, dps isn't needed to complete, but if faster times are what you're going for than melee dps is the way to go. for trash insta kills, negs, and vorpals are higher than anything. but for bosses those are either just meh or useless. for heroics the reason why warlocks are so good is because hp thresholds are not what they are in epics but that doesn't mean you shouldn't want melee dps in high skulls just because it's heroic.

I noticed that something seemed off DPSwise in a Deathwyrm run on live a few days ago.  Until you mentioned this, I had assumed I was just rusty or not remembering the DPS levels properly. 

I haven't been running the shuri as much lately though so I coulbe mistaken but it seemed off enough that I went through all my equipped gear, PL stances, etc. to make sure everything was equipped, turned on and the dex, doubleshot and ranged power numbers were correct.  Didn't find anything out of sorts so who knows.

I am big fan of those two.
But funny how linking "charm completions" that took 2 or 4 longer than proper party comp has became the universal idiotic answer. Not every encounter can be beaten by charm only.
And I have 102 enchant / 93 necro sorc at cap, having done plenty of r8 -10.

Feel free to tell us better "daily rxp".
Can't wait especially for "charm and no damage" parties.

So I'm not paranoid and wasn't just imagining that.  Thanks for posting the links!

What he posted lines up with what I was noticing.   Doubleshot chance seemed way off and not triggering nearly as much as it should have been and the damage did seem to be about half of what I thought I had remembered.  Even with 14 monk levels and 10ks running with 80+ dex, I was only getting 1-3 hits w/ adrenalined sniper shot instead of the usual 3-5.

Now the real question is, how many months/years will it take to get the devs to acknowledge it and fix it?

LOL, yeah.  What everyone neglects to mention when they refer to Rys' and Wizza's solo/duo R10 charm / cc+ranged completions is that they have quite a few deaths and it takes noticeably longer.

Personally, I'll take 20-45 minute R5-R10 completions and minimal deaths with a balanced group over that sort of fuckery all day long.

never. i imagine the repeater doubleshot penalty and reaper ranged scaling "leaked" into throwers.

If they're looking to step up and back their claim that they're actually different from Turbine, this seems like an excellent opportunity.

It is a lot easier to sit back and just say shit, though. Not criticizing; just jealous. 'Be nice if somebody'd pay us to shitpost, too.

The thing is, it is apparently affected bows, too.   That post on the mobos referenced a bow.  As if archers didn't already suck enough, lol.
