wp aa tactic

[hordak774]

This new tactic need just one change - switch 25% bludgeon on 25% aa hast, or 25% crit dmg buff. Too many abilities need to press and bludgeon u can have time only for couple hits in battle.

I think I prefer the 25% AA compared with the 25% more AA DMG. I always viewed the tactic as a way to improve baseline damage. This seems to want to improve the baseline by giving bludgeon a 25% dmg increase but then boosts AA Dmg by 25%. Which doesn't make as much sense IMO compared to giving 25% AA speed.

For starters faster AA means you hit more, so while you're doing less damage per hit without the 25% DMG buff you're hitting more often, usually every 1-2 abilities. Resulting in a more consistent and predictable damage output. It also means if you miss for whatever reason, it's no issue because you only miss out on 1 swing when you swing every 2-3 seconds with BL wep for example. With 25% DMG if you miss you're not gonna swing again for at least another 4.2s. That's a big drop in dmg output. AA speed > Pure DMG IMO. Unless they're gearing up for a dual wield WP.
