[Skahrs World] A Small test on the new NORMALIZED 2.3 Hemo

I have yet to mke a post on this blog since the release of my video. The reason for this being very busy in real life. I'm starting to get a little more free time as of late and will try to post a couple times a week here again :)

Hemo Buff in 2.3 and My Current Test
Hemo is being normalized in 2.3 meaning we no longer need to seek out a 2.8 speed weapon to get optimal damage from the spec. A good amount of AP and a high top end weapon should do the trick. So I was reading the new tool tip and realized it now does 125% Weapon damage instead of weapon damage alone. So, i decided to do a small test and see how much harder it would crit on a low lvl mob with little to no armor, before the debuff is applied. Here are my SS results:

The new 2.3 normalized hemo was critting an average of 319 damage harder, before the applied debuff and with an S2 Mace at 1743 AP. This was taken from an average of 10 hemo crits. I will consider this a buff by a long shot. I havent tested it yet with the debuff applied or with a target below 35%, but I do plan on doing that soon. Hemo in its current state is fine in my opinion, it is going to be amazing after the release of 2.3. Not to mention all the armor penetration we will have. Assuming you wear all of the PvP Items you can for A-Pen (Cloak, Veng Gear, Veng Weaps, Ring) and have the Serrated Blades talent, you can attain up to 1078 armor penetration. 1078 A-Pen, 36 dmg debuff, and 20% boost to specials on targets below 35% will be HUGE for finishing off our opponents in the arena.

My plans for Season 3 will be to scoop up the fist weps, and try to attain 2,000 ubuffed AP, will staying above 30% crit and 10k HP. In order to do this, I'm sure I will have to skip out on some of the new PvP Items for Raid/Heroic Items.

They neeeded to normalize Hemo or the warglaive and other 2.8 2.9 weapons would start doing far too much dmg with High AP. You can get well above 3k AP with T6 level gear unbuffed. For teh few that are fighting in TK, MH, or BT im sure youd see this as less of a buff. For 96 percent o the rest of us this is gold.
