Backblast does less damage now? This is depressing

I am not hitting nearly as hard as I used to with backblast. (Yes, i did respec my points :) ).

 

The changes to scrapper, are downright disappointing.

 

DPS, at least for me, is definitely not what it was.

 

Oh and Georg Zoeller, we are definitely NOT within 5% damage of marauders/sentinels.

Backblast does LESS??? What are you smoking??? It was increased 5%, with a talented increase up to an end result of 9%. Personally I'm seeing far higher numbers spewing out from backblast than before (though admittedly overall it's a severe DPS hit due to the CD).

All I am saying, in the few WZ's I ran last night, it was hitting for less than what it was pre 1.2. I am planning on doing more testing today, but it was very clear that my BB was hitting for less last night.

 

Oh, and I dont smoke. ;)

I did a shoot first hit on a Sniper in cover with a relic/adrenal buff and flechette and only did 400 damage. Woot!

 

Sorcerer suspended in the air with a stun, Shoot First 300... back blast 700. He had no shields.

 

While others I was hitting 4000 and 2000ish pretty consistently.

You are aware that they increased the Expertise on pvp gear right? That might account for some of it.

You were fooled by the patch notes. The base damage was lowered substantially before the talents "increased" it. There was a net loss.

yes, I am aware. I am not 50 yet, so expertise should not be that prevalent in WZ at this time (unless I am wrong.)

 

Level 47 right now.

I opened up on a level 18 sniper with shoot first (think it was around 2000k), then followed with back blast for a whopping 900. :confused:

 

Like I said, I will be doing some more testing, but I definitely saw backblast hitting for less.
