I noticed that since last patch I was suddenly doing more dmg with cs styles then before. Thought that it was just luck etc.

Today I played my inf a bit, backstabbed a hib caster, noticed that it died very fast so I thought that he was just unbuffed, however that's what I found when I scrolled up the chat log:

Now my BSII cap has always been 704. Anyone else noticed anything like this since last patch?

RR6L2 chanter you hit, not sure if she is templated, might ask her, nice damage tho, however i noticed on my lowbie RR2 nightshade that my damage wasn't as bad as i first expected it to be, but i am templated . . . keep rolling :)

there was some talk on the US servers when 1.87 hit live, that mythic had adjusted BS2s dmg to that of the OLD PA mechanics/caps. it was never confirmed (though there was ALOT of people who noticed it) and come 1.88 from what i have heard, it was fixed/reverted back to original state, also without confirmation or mention.

yeh, while playing my shade last week i noticed about 3-4 backstab2 doin damage in the range of 820-890 dmg... but every time i put the blame on the caster who had self-shields down since the usuall damage for BS2 is in the range 300-550 most of the time

Made a test and yes BSII has nearly the same cap as PA now.

50+16 CS

PA cap :924

BSII cap: 910

nice of them no to mention it anywhere in the patchnotes :|
