Doing Howling Fist against Lesser Colibris, it's consistantly doing in the 800s at 100%. Dragon Kick fluctuates a bit more. 750-850 at 100% so far.

300% Dragon Kick still seems to have the same power as before. But I've only used it once, could've been low-end damage.

Cross Reaper is doing 1200-1400 to lesser colibri so far. Melee hits are averaging about 250.
 
I know guillo wasnt on the list of ones that changed, but on avge on Freelancers in Oldton I avg 1.1-1.2k in farming gear, and I am getting 1.4-1.5k now
 
Was doing 900ish wheeling thrusts on spiders in Wajaom as DRG/WHM.
That's a pretty big increase from 500-600.
Normal hits were kinda low still, like 175-275ish, but seems about a 50-60damage per hit increase.

Of course, easy prey are really bad to gauge damage on..

edit: My pentathrusts were doing about 1.1k-1.3k as DRG/WHM vs spiders, Skewers about 1k-1.2.

No brutal was used during my WS. Curious to test in merit..

What did it use to do?
 
The boost on normal hits is freaking huge, havent tried to WS anything yet, probally wont even bother since my sams gear is just salvaged crap from other jobs anyways although i suppose my WS set is decent enough to provide some info
 
Not really a weapon skill, but for 2-handed weapons, 1 STR = 1 attack now. 1-handed weapons are still the same 2 STR = 1 attack; but that's still a big change.

Wow, that is very nice!
 
I just popped off a 1936 Guillotine on a Lesser Colibri. Granted that's souleatered but that's still way more than I've ever done before. This update is very sweet for 2h weapons. Edit: up to 1997 now, I will break 2k, lol!

lol who cares anyway? use the weapon you want to, its only going to 37 anyway, nothing but noobs these days leveling up it seems XD they're all gimped, you may as well be too ;)
 
Man, this 2H update makes me want to level DRG again...
 
Use a great axe, I didn't even bother with scythe and barely touched great sword after I got sturmwind on drk. It did far more damage than scythe/GS would ever do.

Mm, True...never tried the greataxe route. Though skilling up at those levels is a giant pain -.-
 
Made a merit pt on my DRG moment I got on :) I was very suprised at how well I was doing. On average, 700-1k Skewer, 800-1.3k Penta (1.3k was from angon, but still... :D), and I'm thinking wheeling thrust got a small boost too. Used it once, 847 dmg, and the other drg with me popped a 1.1k wheeling. We were both /SAM, averaging 130-200 dmg a hit. Fun stuff :D Maybe DRGs will actually not have to make every pt they get now :D

well considering whoever has your character atm has been selling off brd junk nonstop i'd think it's safe to say your drg will be the only job left with any gear that you can wear in exp.
