So the first thing I did when logging in was jump on my cleric and put up a Shroud LFM. The 12 consisted of my 20 Cleric, 1 Bard, 2 casters, and all the rest 2wf as my lfm requested. Portals went down at normal very fast speed,,no lag approaching the chests,,part 2 was same and also no lag approaching chests,,part 3 standard, part 4 was completely lag free and was the fastest one rounder I can remember, part 5 was lag free and I used maybe 60% of my bar after buffing and not using pools. total time 29 minutes. we didn't try to make it any faster and there was some discussion along the way about guild renown and such.
For run two I got onto my 2wf barbarian formerly of barb crit rage fame ( the last nerf I remember 1/2 the players threatening to quit over ) Party consisted of 2 clerics, bard, 1 caster and a 50/50 mix of 2wf and barbs or other..total completion 31 minutes..some lag in part 1 and 5 but nothing epic. Lots of discussion about what was new and relaxed pace. I took some lvl 16's who were not completing so I will assume not uber gear. Time could have been improved by 4-5 minutes in 2nd and maybe 3 minutes in first if we were going for speed.
I realize that neither of these were run during prime time so I will save comments about the lack of lag for later but the take down time for bosses and mobs was the same if not faster and i was not picky about who I took for the most part.
I did not analyze my combat log from my melee run but based on what others were saying they seemed to be doing about usual as far as dps. Perhaps the offhand attacks that don't proc also don't report in your log so maybe the attack sequence seems the same when it isn't but I would say nothing too nerfy happened so far and the doom sayers can relax and wait for the next nerf before quitting DDO
