10% Mongoose Bite nerf tomorrow, so here’s some napkin math. 50.03M dmg on Rasz. 17.19M Mongoose Bite dmg with Onyx Annulet. The nerf will be slightly worse for those without it because of slightly more Mongoose Bite dmg. 17.19M * 0.1 = 1.719M. 50.03M - 1.719M = 48.311M / 50.03M = 0.96564. 1 - 0.96564 = 0.03436 * 100 = 3.436% dmg loss from tomorrow’s 10% nerf.
Tinfoil hat theory: Blizzard wants you to use the Onyx Annulet.
Note: Blizzard has confirmed already that the 10% Mongoose Bite nerf didn’t actually happen when it was supposed to.

He’s my friend… SV’s life is not easy at all!
Bad AoE damage, lousy damage mitigation… And the only good thing is the MB was nerfed.
Did I forget something?
I forgot about Spearhead dmg, so add another 0.5%.

Wow. A spec that underperforms in all content and they still need to nerf it because more than likely a blizz dev got creamed back to back MB crits. I’m so done with blizz barely making half the specs in the game viable.

It was the best ST spec in the game and this was only a PvE nerf so I have no idea what you’re talking about here.

That, well remembered! In ST.
Due to the fact that the AoE is very bad, the least that Blizzard should do is leave the MB the way it was so that in weeks of Tyranny the SV has a little success.
It’s okay for a spec to be the best ST in the game. Somebody has to be at the top. People just get butthurt when it’s a hunter spec. Repeated hunter nerfs, yet shadow priests are smoking everyone in ST and AoE.
