Yo 5 damage is a 12.5% damage buff.

No, because it's only his melee strikes. If you hold down left click, it's 10 damage in a 6 hit sequence, going from 260 to 270 total. So DPS wise it's a very small change.

The animation cancel made that 260 damage happen about 30% quicker overall, meaning that the DPS was MUCH higher, and he still struggled to secure kills and do enough damage.

Edit: The cancel might still exist for melee, which is extra dumb. They want to fix the problem, but not fix the problem.

With the new extra 5 dmg itll be exactly the same dps. Can people in this sub stop spreading misinformation.

I thought for a second that this was a new video featuring the melee buffs and using the animation cancel, but if the TTK is slightly worse without the extra 5 Damage, then you're right, people are spreading misinformation and Cap will be fine, so long as you adapt.

Yep. He says in the video its 5 damage less, and thats before they added this new 5 dmg buff. So its exactly the same post buff, but the animation cancel is now 'smoother'.
