Melee weapon racials changed, calculator updated
Axe vs Sword, patch 2.3 November 7th, 2007From MMO-champion:
I’ve updated the Axe vs Sword calculator to include that. Basically 5 expertise is -1.25% parry and -1.25% dodge, which is, from dps PoV, better then then 1% crit. Caluclator now has an option to set if your enemy has parry or not, this is only needed to set if you are an orc, if your enemy has parry the calculator will reduce avoidance by 2.5%, if not it will just reduce it by 1.25% (if it’s not 0 to begin with). I’m going to give an option for human racials in near future.
Overall weapon racials were buffed, and having orc racials against a target that can parry is making Axe Spec much more desireable option. Sword expertise for humans is a killer, as avoidance is what is limiting the sword spec.
Patch 2.3 is planned for next week, and S3 in two weeks, which is basically when I expected it to go live. Not enough time for me to stack 5k arena points, but I’ll have 3/5 parts of S3 set within first week into S3 :).
