BR30.3 - Red Captain
Red captain dps, definitely down. Here's 3 parses on live and on BR 30.3 build 2. Doesn't appear like nothing changed between build 1 and 2 for us, and I was parsing about the same on BR build 1.
My weapon dps rating on live is 3385, and on BR is 4517.2, so use that to get to apples to apples as best you can when comparing parses on live and BR right now.
Live, 3 parses no buffs
BR30.3 build 2, 3 parses no buffs. this is on par with what I had for build 1. Oathies at minute 2 just to be consistent with how I do it live, but since we can't stack GW dots anymore it's definitely better to throw it right off the bat now.
traits and LIs viewed in BR. On live, I use halberd + 3rd age emblem for bleed, and halberd for Routing Cry, and greatsword otherwise. Looks like I still had my stun traited instead of extra light damage--oops.
Divide BR damage by live damage, multiply by 0.75 to normalize for the different weapon base dps. This is like a ~10% or so nerf. While others are getting a bit of a buff (except champs).
We could use some of our bleed pulses back I think. +9 pulses probably would've added 20M to 25M extra damage to my 3-parse cluster on BR. Split the difference, add it to the BR damage totals, repeat weapon dps normalization and compare to live: then this LI change would've made about a 15% buff to my red cappy single target damage if we retained +9 pulses. Maybe give like, +3 all-bleed pulses to the gold/epic Grave Wound tracery and another +3 all-bleed pulses to the gold/epic Cutting Attack tracery, or put +6 bleed pulses on a new tracery if you want to make us make harder choices for our LIs. (Or replace Noble Mark damage)
Another thing to note is our AoE damage is going to be even more impacted w/o bleed pulses than single target, necessarily so.
I do want to see how it's working out for the rest of yall, the before and after.
