Thread: ur uber pikes post cu????
I have two vibrolances around 330 Base DPS, none of which was more than decent before CU.
My powerhammer which was on the borderlands of uber at 290-850ish dmg, is now a base DPS of 283.
Looks like pikemen gets some loving in the damage-department. I don't know why though, as pikeman is supposed to be defensive and swordsman offensive.

As long as action costs remain the way they are pure damage is actually still superior to DPS. You can't regenerate the action pool quickly enough to maintain the listed DPS for a fast weapon.
I have a fast VL with an adjusted DPS around 530. Sadly, I'm better off with a higher-damage weapon with lower DPS.

LVA pre Cu
Max damage 951
- now 708 max DPS around 350ish
What a rip...can anyone tell me what they actually did with DoTs ...if anything. I know they said they were going to add to the max damage but who can actually tell now...everything is all messed up.
my best weapon now is a VL DPS 484...and it kills in PvP.
hi all...
ok i'm trying to remember.... lva dps are in the 350 area if i remember correctly, and yup, the vl damage has come up with my nsel being around the 450 dps mark and i also have on that was around the 500 dps mark. i think the reason for the increase in energy damage may have to do with psg's. i think dps will def be the measuring tool, i know action is depleting quickly but i think food will come in to play to remedy some of the action problems. brandy is currently helping with that, i think if i can find one more food to help regen action quicker it will make the dps more relevant.
yup, all my uber lva are nerfed and seems to be the trend. if you have a lva with max dam 1500 (lol) then that of course is quite uber, but i think will end up getting nerfed eventually as it kind of defeats the purpose of cu balance.....
