However, the Vicious damage FB Barbs get will now be treated as a weapon effect, and only apply to a percentage of glancing blows instead of every one of them. Same with Palis and their KotC damage.

You have to be kidding me? Please? That is a massive reduction in DPS and sucks hardcore for both of my main toons which are an FB and a KotC

Don't forget that the base damage on your glancing blows will go up.

But will they make up for the 2-24 damage of FB3? Something tells me no way.

If you're a WF or Half-orc, your glancing blows base damage may well double after U7. My guess is that would make up the difference.

For the moment after U7 each tier will add 10% to glancing blow weapon damage, glancing blow start at a base of 20% weapon damage, and the chance to produce special weapon effects has been increased to 3% per tier.

So GTHF is really relevant to a two handed weapon user.

Are we talking about THF or TWF? Or is everyone just having their own conversations? Or is everyone just making typos? I can't follow this thread at all...

[ddobard1]

About two handed weapons. The OP misprinted the title but then rectified in the first post.

A Dev stated that 100% proc of vicious on glancing was a bug and would be fixed eventually. Nowhere have they ever stated that it was ever going to be changed in u7.

The key point right now is that no change has been made and it's still 100% proc chance on Lama.
