Rage - DPS nerfed over 50%

This was on the same ghost that was stunned, hitting it from behind using a sword.

Certainly seems something is wrong with crits from behind.
Let me know if you need more examples, these are pretty consistent.

 

Hey Scoff, Seems there is a patch underway maybe its the fix. Also let me know if you want me to call "Ghostubusters" *grins*. R/Boris/El Pirata

 

I'm noticing aimed shot to the back, even stacked, is really low
Perhaps a possible fix to this, is to apply the new combat math to quick attack only - and relax it on glpyhs?

 

Seems to me like the patch fixed the lack of crits and damage while mob is stunned from Body Slam. R/Boris/El Pirata

 

Patch didn't help me - still very often getting low damage from Aimed Shot, even stacked, from behind a mob. Seems to average about 40 damage. Occasionally I'll get a decent hit 100-150 or so, like before.
Since attacking from behind like that is usually an attack of opportunity, and getting an aimed shot in takes good timing - the damage smoothing in R50 is really affecting this tactic.

..also seeing single digit numbers from rapid fire.. even from behind..

 

I thought the patch had fixed things. Maybe in some cases it was a minor improvement. In my case its swords and though I did see an improvement from a few days ago it is nothing like prior to R50. Several mobs this morning still parry while stunned and being attacked from behind. Overall damage with dual wield swords with Body Slam/Thrust and Offhand attack is down about 30 pct overall since R50.

 

Someone in my guild said this damage from behind and such was a known issue - but I haven't seen the thread on that - hoping that's the case, and it's being fixed.
