    Precise strikes gives you armor+spell penetration but mobs have no armor and no protection Go for full crits and dark weapon.

    Is there any secondary source to support that statement? Not saying that you are wrong, I just find this a bit surprising.

    Mobs do have armor and protection.To my experience until higher tiers though debuffing is enough and then again precise strikes won't make a crazy difference.

    You can test it on straw man. Damage dont change with penetration or without. Straw man = mob.

    But to be honest im not sure about T4/5 bosses - im not a pveer and dont know if some of them can cast +armor/protection buffs on themselves. As i remember, 6-mans bosses havent buffs like that but ive done 6-mans about 3 years ago last time

    Well, the question is not if the difference is crazy, just if it is more pronounced than Sinister Strength and Dark Weapons.

    No. Definitely no. The straw man is not a mob. Unlike a straw man, mobs have armor and protection, even if not much. You can easily see it with some testing on epic low level mobs.

    Hmm... May be so, sorry for desinfo if they really have... As i said, i had serious pve tooo long time ago so may be it was changed somehow... But anyway Dark Weapons feat is way better than penetration. And if you can pick Dread Weapon somehow it will be really good.

    The thing here is we are discussing ~30 to 40 dps ,50 in best cases and depending in encounter better or worse for 5 point feats that are mostly fillers.For most of the content Dark weapons>Precise strikes.Unholy strength sucks balls.Yes you can argue more damage comes from Swift strikes and whatnot in your parses but that 5% has almost zero impact...It's all in the crits and hitting sides with no shields on that makes a difference and that's it.

    IMO - Best DPS spec possible
    Cons - Missing charge, fear and dull pain
