Wands Uber on Test Server

[Alarick]

I have checked myself, and wands themselves suffer from a particular design decision that means they will never be as good as Hunters with autoshoot.

You cannot change a wand's DPS without talents.

It is not possible. I don't care what people say, I've checked myself with mutliple buffs, and ranged attack power does not affect wand damage. There is nothing to change the wand damage, so a 50 DPS wand is and will always be a 50DPS wand, unless talents are invested.

Think what you will, but I don't think this change of functionality will make that large a difference in the game. Hunters can cry all they want, but it isn't going to change the fact that Hunters still have better ranged DPS.

Honestly, I never expected this to actually happen, but I still stand by the statement that this isn't buffing wand DPS as much as it's finally bringing wand DPS to the level listed on the wands.
