For poops and gins i made an alacrity set on my mara, in carnage spec durring berzerk, you have 50.6% enabling a 4th gcd inside your gore window. 2118 alacrity, 2 acc enhancements to make sure stuff hits. Its fun here is what it looks like with the merc 10% buff on top of that (60.6%): Here is some full matches with it: You can check out my channel for a couple more. Conclusion is that its probably not all that viable but it sure is alot of fun to be hitting 80-90 APM. edit, added stat ratings.

/hugs zach and hoppin on a more serious note, i feel bad for your mando (zach), look up M-bison in mexican cleaning ladys on harby some time, ill pocket heal ya or dps with you.

Oh how i miss this

I did 3800 that same game but i was missing a expertise crystal lol noob

Let me clarify this a bit, if you have 0 accuracy, you will miss a minimum of 5% on all classes except sorc, base 10% defense for them. This is for white and yellow damage equally now. If you are a single target spec, you will want some accuracy, or else you will miss a few of your burst moves, and with crit DR starting around 1100-1300, you should have plenty of stat allocation to spare some for accuracy. 5% accuracy only takes 2 enhancements and that will get you by in pvp just fine (assuming you get 1% from campanion buff). If you want to hit that jug tank with 7million def in his crap base tank gear, that will require a bit more accuracy. It all depends on your target. For classes that lay out mass aoe damage (sorc, and any dot spread class), accuracy will do little for your dps. as you will just spread that dot on your next DF/CG/smash/ect anyway. Missing a dot spread to 1/5 of your targets will only decrease your dps slightly compared to completely missing as you would on a single target. I wouldn't bother with accuracy for those specs, but that's just me.

ok ill hide from the sniper all wz long while anyone that pokes their head out gets it blown off

Dont try to understand BW logic, you will fail and end up in a padded cell. Add Fury to your list, it lost some surge to the overall spec, not just 1 ability.

the buff you are looking for is the one that makes viscious throw autocrit. Thats what carnage gets. edit: the mara set is the "weaponmaster" dont get the jug set unless you somehow managed to train sundering slash on your mara.

sorcs are so squishy lol, its a good thing they have so many escapes, been eating them for lunch the past 2 days...

nice, i played with 3 snipers for a bit last night (vax/appollo/macray) and the lowest high hit i saw was 23k. The highest hit was 36k lol. It was me on my mara and 3 snipers. There are so many people back for 4.0 (baddies) it was like shooting fish in a barrel. We (they) were absolutely wrecking people, everyone was getting lolglobaled...

Really? i have herd that merc/mando have great burst, but i think most of them suck, i trust your assumptions though. I am excited to level my PT now though... I am pretty sure my free 60 will be a sniper lol.

yea, but at least you could see at what point increasing the rating in alacrity will suffer less dr than crit.

and so the world turns... gone are the days of leap gore ravage scream viscious throw dead. I just wish the burst in fury was as good as AP or MM.

odd one here, I have to retrain juyo form and force scream every time i switch from carnage to annihilation specs. This requires i have my hut trainer handy to buy the retrain.

can you do me a favor and lay alacriy on the same graph, maybe accuracy as well?

Thanks a ton for the graph, it is very helpful. Can you do me a favor and overlay alacrity on it? It seems the benefits of alacrity may pass the benefits of crit at some point around 900-1000 crit rating but another line would help

20? NO HAHA.. i would /wrists before i let that happen. no, i died 2 times. Took 1.9 million damage and spent my time trying to los and stay alive. Meanwhile the sniper was left alone to freecast. I assume because its not easy to get close to a sniper these days so people go for the easy kill (the melee).

when have the classes ever performed like they say. BW posts explaining how classes work are just blowing smoke up your dress. If fury is the burst spec, how come its biggest hit is 10k less than other burst specs lol. Just because bw says something is true does not make it true.

i agree, if you play all the classes, the way these abilities are implemented becomes confusing, one way or the other please....

Recklessness does jack for thundering blast, the 60% crit it add does not translate to surge as described would happen to autocrit abilities in the patch notes. Your health pool math is correct and fine if it was equal across all dps specs, but it is not. It is especially not equal for mara/jug/OP/sorc. These specs have all had their balls removed. 30k ambush and 15k follow through in 2 gcd will have that sorc los'd, tring to heal that 75% health you just hit him for. For the next 10 gcds of his los he will spend it wasting half his resource pool on self heals while his dots tick on you for 2-600. That is fair right? You sound like the old "LOS and Heal to full!" bw excuse... Dont get me wrong, I am not pushing nerfing snipers, i think burst is fun. I want them to bring the other burst classes up to par (yea right lol).

Agreed, carnage's balls have officially been removed. Mara specs in general suck in pvp because of the movement bonuses of other classes, we cant stick to people. 45 second 20m roll will not and does not help. I had a match yesterday where i took 2 mil damage and died 2x, meanwhile the sniper in the back line took 270k damage and spammed ambushes all match un touched hitting 3k dps. What use is there in being melee any more again?

You are truly ignorant, you can los the sage just like the sage can los you. This mechanic is balanced. Its not like they can cast on you while los'd lol. Whats not balanced is 25k ambush against a 9k thundering blast. I cant help but lol at these snipers trying to defend this crap.

i think it means that up to level 20 that variable stays "20" then once you are past level 20, your char level is included in the equasion.

you forget, about 10% of your crit is from mastery, another 5% from class buff, 1% from companion buff, and i think base of 5% or something. If you hover over your crit stat, it tells you exactly how much % you get from it.

Yes but this is only true if you are a sniper (or PT i hear). the other classes burst is nerfed (by % of HP pool compared to pre4.0). The hardest i could hit someone with fury (min maxed) was 14-15k. Keep in mind this required a decimation buff from force crush, autocrit from leap, and 15%surge buff from furious strike. Thats 3 buffs to 1 move and it doesnt even come close to a crit ambush(an ability thats usable in another 6 seconds)
