DPS AMs post dot nerf/disrupt buff

[Ormix]

I main a DPS AM and have been playing them for a long while. Pre ab ex change, they weren't that good. During the ab ex thing, they were actually a bit over the top, possibly. Before the nerf they seemed alright, nothing spectacular.

Post nerf, though, I started feeling like the impact on AM was a bit much. I've been seeing people disrupt me with intellect cap and 10% disrupt/block chance reduction tactic regularly, and while such a state of affairs for healers is pretty understandable, for other classes it's not so much. I'm constantly seeing dps classes that don't even stack any willpower just do disrupt after disrupt after disrupt on the dots, ticks or debuffs, almost like just everyone got a universal disrupt chance buff across the board.

I think this is a bit too much. Yes we aren't a pure dps class. Yeah, we have a tiny bit of healing and other stuff. But a large part, perhaps even most, of our burst and dps comes from dots and that's what suffered the most here. Personally noticed a significant drop in my damage potential, and I think that the spec needs a bit of help with the current state of affairs.

What has your experience been with DPS AM so far?

Feel you man...

The amount of disrupts\parry\blocks I'm getting now is just insane, sometimes I get 0 out of 5 of my dots on toons like mara\WE and Im not even talking about DOTing healers The last patch has killed it for me... Im now just hoping for some of it reverting so I can play my favourite class again...

I norm sub it in for convolsive slashing, tactic that has 25% to strip enchantment. I know not the greatest tactic but it fits my playstyle better then the sav spec mara.

I fully believe TOO MANY care about DPS healers. If you choose to play a healer character and try to DPS you lost all validity in any argument you ever make about anything related to that class imo.

That's funny because the AM has two trees that revolve around damage!

Atm every player is going full distrupt,healers and rdps too, so kill someone with dps Am especially now without .ab is kinda difficult. .AB was great for dps AM, always please remember that am/shammy are hybrid style,so idea to have an hybrid or dps am/shammy is valid,but now I don't think it's good with actual meta

No one stop you to be a dps Am in anycase. be ready to be insulted in sc

it's funny because a DPS AM is the best ST DoT DPS class in the game. Pair it with a Swordmaster, and you can do very good DPS. Just most seem to play it as a sololulz class and don't realise its potential.
