First off, I'm really looking forward to this update

I was on Amun trying out builds for my Mark and of course had to try out the new Dead Eye Spell. I know it's only first iteration and will be tweeked, but I decided to get a base line to see where it's at now. Hopefully the info is helpful to the Devs.

Used my Lvl 47 Mark, RA lvl 5, DE lvl 5, logged just over 450 hits on a Blue Mob using different combos of RA and DE, then crunched some numbers (attached graph, "reported" numbers are taken from the stats, "average" numbers were the averages of the real world testing)

Got ~14.0% criticals (stats said 14.3%, so that seems to be working)

The stats on the bows seem to be misleading. Example for two of the bows I tried: a med. speed LB stats showed it to do 25-30 more points of damage than the fast SB. The Attack Stat showed the LB doing only about 10 more points and real world testing actually resulted in the LB doing a few points less than the SB. (never trust the advertised stats, I guess)

One possible problem: DE reports a -20% attack speed (not exactly sure what that means) but the attack time on all three speeds of bow were increased by 40% (more than I expected). This actually caused the DPS while using DE to be lower than the DPS when not using DE. Also it's obvious that the reported bonuses of both spells don't affect the total damage as the % increases in damage are lower than advertised, so spell descriptions seem to be misleading.

No complaints from me on this new spell as I expect it to be tweeked in the near future. I look forward to using it in it's final form, and after I figure out what bow to use it with.

I basically did this for my own info (if it helps NGD at all, then that's a plus)
