so with trait line specific stats getting removed we get compensation by base stat increase and gear stat increase. but i dont think that zerker gear will give so much precision/crit chance that u get the same crit chance like with 30/6 points in to the precision tree.
so i thought that maybe classes without good precision boosters need assassins gear again (or a lot more spotter rangers). there already are a lot of situations where assassin is a bit better than zerker so with these changes imo only 2 classes will be able to reach 100% during normal gameplay in full zerker: thief and necro.
so i see this as an indirect damage increase for necro as everybody else maybe has less damage because of the loss of power (and thief always was the king of dps)
what are ur thoughts? and if this wasnt clear enough-> PVE.

Well, it will be hard to say before Tuesday. Honestly though, I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Condition builds will become more effective in dungeons, but power builds will probably still be dominant. Since that’s the case, the classes with the best power scaling, and group buffs will win out (AKA, ele, thief, war, guard). Necros might be a little bit better because of aoe siphons, prot on wells, and weakness, but I doubt we will be any better than rangers or mesmers let alone eles and thieves.
Necros don’t have reflects, invulns, vigor, blocks,
extra dodges, real stability, mobility skills,
burst skills, sustain, or good support. GG ANET.
yes i dont expect to be god tier on tuesday. i play all classes in meta builds and know how the dps tiers are. an aura with 30 damage on hit wont be game changing xD i just wanted to bring it up because hey…these are the community forums
i like to share my thoughts

From the math ive done precision should be the same when using berserker. Power will be slightly higher. Lots of classes are getting their modifier traits in certain lines switch to crit chance. This means assassin is falling out of the meta even on classes it worked on.
great…but thanks anyways spoj it was an interesting idea either way
