Massive DPS drop on Power reaper
Double check that all your traits are selected. Some were changed significantly; some were removed (although I don’t remember if that’s true for necro specifically). Also double check your stats in the hero’s panel — a number of changes to food & buffs affect that, too.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”
That was one of the first things I did. The only thing I can think of is that maybe there was a change to the Crusader set. I don’t know what the stats were prior to this patch, and I didn’t see anything in the patch notes. What I am noticing though is that a drop in damage isn’t the only issue I’m seeing. Toughness doesn’t seem to help as much as it used to either.
Just reporting back in to confirm whatever the issue is it is not the Crusader set. Even in full Viper set, I am seeing similar numbers to what I get while wearing Crusader (and in some cases lower numbers)
Was this an accidental nerf to the power contributions for Reaper?
