There’s a tool out there called CStats that parses your combat log and allows you to calculate how much damage you’re doing. Lots of you may already know about it, but I just saw on the forums there’s a beta teaser (upcoming version 1.1) that will allow you to break out your DoTs and procs as separate lines from your attacks. This will be a huge help for us wardens as we can get a better feel for where our damage is coming from.

A few days ago, chancing to log on early one morning when almost nobody else was around, I was very lucky to find a l.60 bow on the Laurelin Auction House with a sellout price of 30G. It was unidentified, and therefore a gamble, but it paid off - the legacies it came with were more than decent, if not perfect.
So Darkfall has now become my main ranged weapon, rushed up to l.30 in a matter of minutes thanks to a stash of item experience point runes. However, what has really floored me is the difference two levels make to the DPS (Damage Per Second) rating: maxed out in both cases, Reason has a DPS rating of 53.6, whereas Darkfall, raised to the same tier, achieves an astonishing 59.1! Oh, and the speed is significantly better, too (2.2 versus 2.5),
