my issue is this is a nerf to the pure LS build which was unique and cool. now the alternate forb+LS version is better. Which spawns much more forbs. THey should have nerfed something on forb casting if the spell caused performance issues, now with this change, even more forbs gets spammed. Blizzard thinking is weird once again.

Can anyone confirm itâs still better than Chain Lightning? I just got the last item needed for Spear/Orb and was going to switch over tonight.
bliz has my account flagged to nerf whatever character i make. Iâve proven this time and time again. Even in SoD classic, if anyone wants a class nerfâd I just make that class and boom it gets nerfâd
I was having fun on my retail wow demon hunter, nerfâd x10⌠I made a dk and boom it got nerfâd just recently, so i tricked the system and made 1 of each class except holy priest and boooooooom all the classes except for holy priest was nerfâd for this next expansionâŚ

Damn you!
Lol.
Man, itâs been years since Iâve played some wow.
Devs kept âsilentâ âambivalentâ on another part of released statement.
Fractured Winterglass interaction with Frozen Orbs proccing Conjurations⌠Frequency.
Did not explicit say increase nor decrease. Disrespectful signal again by Devs to us.

This is Splintering Energy Shenanigan build is unique because someone abuse the game mechanic which is designed to boost Frozen orb and Lightning spear. End up become an abomination spamming conjurations stack to boost Splintering Energy, a legendary aspect which was supposed to support Lightning spear. Instead it relegates both LS and FO to one skill point slave.
Mekuna has abused the shatter double dipping bug in S4, now he tried to abuse the Winterglass Conjuration CD mechanic and make a build with his name Shockuna. Blizzard shut this down as they already informed they will patch a build if it is severely affect the server. Players now should learn that there is consequences of abusing game mechanic.
I have played this Splintering in T8, there was lag spike which everything suddenly freeze for 10 seconds. It does not happen often, but it depends on your server load and timezone.
In case you donât know, pushing high PIT with Splintering Energy need to fish the boss with mobs again as Splintering Energy donât work well with single target.
Lots of people here will start crying over nothing. Oh no, someone said something I havent experienced better run to the forums and have a breakdown.

Only way it nerfed you is if you have 100% nerf the lowest roll of splintering aspect is the highest roll now it deals 30% more damage
Imagine spending 259 hours on a barb t finally clear high pits and because you and 3 other people in he world cleared a t150 with that build the nerdbit I to obscurity that being thorns. Mea while firebomt sorc cleared t171 pit solo and got buffsâŚstop complaining people the build is LITERALLY stronger

Lol, you think whatever you desire. Also, who cares what fire sorc cleared. That has nothing to do with this.
Just goes to show they do not thoroughly test mechanics before going live with changes and leave the testing to us. hahaâŚ

I mean I havenât noticed a change in my ability to face-tank and roll through things, however, I am also not pushing super high pits so
Cooldown reducing items are the most dangerous items you can ever make. Breaking CDs breaks the game. WE have had it happen several times. Winterglass is busted. We all know it. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Its funny because winterglass was a decent item before. It just needed a bit more extra punch but not the abomination they turned it into. IT was and should be a FO item not the BiS amulet for most sorcs because of conjure mastery and spamming spears on every build with 1 aspect and crit damage.
aoe trash clear is slower but boss kill speed is much better which is nice.

Oh give it a rest, itâs far from broken.
IF you think this item is not going to be changed in midseason or S6 then I think you are very mistaken.
That wasnât the question nor is it a answer. Spiritborn will be in the firing line come S6 along with a multitude of other changes. Seriously a single item that makes one build viable is not game breaking. Whatâs game breaking is 90% of builds has to use flame arrowâŚ
Ur missing the point this item is so good every mage will be using it just to spam spears and reduce cooldowns to use with conjure mastery for insane damage. Its going to be changed guaranteed. This is druid companions on every build territory. There are already builds that dont even use FO on bar and still use it because its that good. They just let the conjures do the FO. That is insane power level for a build to not even use FO on their build and still use this item.
