More potent as far as utility sure. But as far as actual burst is concerned. DE is physical. This is an armor meta. With the CoC and CoV nerf that was a huge part of multiple procs to give the illusion of burst. I'm not saying the WP changes aren't justified, but a 2h wp on a squish can prolly hit around 2k now maybe more with WL armor debuff. My highest hit ever in an SC on my DoK in T4 was 1400 with the finisher on an armor debuffed, low level with crap gear lol.peterthepan3 wrote:Dps dok needs no love imo. Wp has better burst initially, but devour essence + dual wield + 2 dmg procs + perma aoe hd still makes dok 10x more potent.
Those big numbers dok's post in SC's mean nothing if it isn't burst because otherwise nothing will die. If the 1 second ICD gets removed, at least just for the DoK (it brings back it's ability to have procs on its side). You'd be really surprised how Max AA vs WP bigger AA's even out quite a bit more than one would think. I'm not sure if WP still gets free AOE detaunt with 2H as I haven't played it in a while but I keep fairly up to date on their numbers through streams/videos/reading their posts as it is my 2nd fav class.
I want the WP to have the big number burst, but the dok was about tons of procs, aa's, many many small frequent hits, the cov nerf was a gigantic hit in damage especially if you ran bloodthirst for increase CoC damage. It was actually a lot bigger than people even realize lol.
