Too bad my crappy warlock matched the damage, and raped that heal...
Really should have taken a screen shot to grow my e-penis.
that was a guild only and we loaned you the gear to do it obviously

We had some sick averages on sneaky shell. Using any of the 'hit one mob for infinite dmg' skills along with some nice gear on sneaky shell could easily result in higher averages than that.
All the damage listings don't mean a hell of a lot at this point since they can be manipulated very easily. Climb speeds will come down to whether people want to look 'cool' and do one hit for 30k or wipe the entire screen with 9 hits for 3k.
It's definitely a great update and I'm loving every second of it. I'd just like to see people stop flipping out over 30k like it's something special let alone useful.
Yes, it has it's uses. It's great for people with lower end gear, EPs, and quests. That's about all I can think of though.
I disagree with the usefullness part. I use powerstrike and multistrike. I don't use them often but when I do it's very helpful and neato. I usually only play guild only runs or if friends from Outcast or Oasis need a spot filled I fill it. That being said, the group has very good damage and can kill 9 waves in seconds without multiple attacking. This just makes it more fun for me and others. The powerstrike I normally use for eps as that is where it shines. I've only done one full climb since the update and several rerolls, but hitting for huge numbers when hitting the right monster(ep/quest) is very useful for speeding up the climb and getting quests.
