[Question] Power Reaper DPS loss 12/12 Patch

[Aetatis.5418]

Did anybody notice a very weird dps-drop on the dps-test-golem?

did the golems change? the options we have on golems are different now, the interface changed too - but the weird dps behaviour occured today only:

 

after the november 7 patch we got as a result a power reaper dps of roughly 27k as stated in the following thread

https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/14939/golem-test#

(note i am missing the infusions, but i could get 26k dps myself)

 

however, after todays patch i can't scratch that dps anymore. maximum i got was 23k with the same setup as pre-patch

(http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNBhODbkhGapx2awxGYvxSugNdFWCTh4qYXcMCFAaArAA-jlRBAB4p7hS1fA4JAc1+jyPzUC+wFBYeQAwikqWVpqqqkCIitWA-w)

 

same on my holosmith. did 30k dps with an unoptimized build. the same build does now 26k dps (although i tested the new +180 ferocity).

 

 

would appreciate any numbers or observations .

 

cheers

I heard from people that the numbers the golden was giving was wrong so they may have fixed the numbers.

 

I need to grt home from class and try out the new numbers for Condi to

Would love to have more information on the "wrong" numbers you mentioned.

Same here. I tested condiscourge. Only got to 23k (without food) after and 28k (with food) before

[Aetatis.5418]

food shouldnt make that much of a difference. like not 5k dps <.<

 

someone on the warrior forums on the other hand could dish out 32k dps with that said warrior on the small golem with realistic buffs (pre patch ~21k).

this is nuts :-/

[Aetatis.5418]

nothing new yet?

i have been trying to get an answer in the bug-part of the forums. but there is nobody confirming or denying my observations.

 

come on, there must be something or someone having the same issue - or someone proving me wrong. right? right?!

I observed the same change on the golem pre and post patch.

[Aetatis.5418]

it seems to correlate to the change of the testing area (adding options/consoles). so no wonder a lot of people would not get the dps numbers that were shown in the golem dps thread + yt link.
