@Dragonflight 10.0.7 PTR Development Notes

HUNTER

• Not ignored.

This made me chuckle.

[Faithen-sargeras]

Holy- Aura of vengeance now increases judgement damage by 25%, down from 200%.

How is this reasonable? on top of the nerf they already did to this talent.

oh god here we go again

[Amyrii-echo-isles]

@Margraive-garrosh

242 days of no fdk specific pvp changes and counting. Count yourself lucky lol

Frost dk isn’t that bad though is it

[Thebulk-crushridge]

@Exsanguinate-demon-soul

Blizzard can toss

You didn’t notice? They already are

[Thebulk-crushridge]

@Frànkiepie-emerald-dream

Lmao completely ignored hunters again.

Blizzard seems to forget that monk is more than just mw

[Margraive-garrosh]

damage is fine imo, but the way the spec works it needs to stay in the fight to sustain and get value from its talents, like icecap is pretty dead cos after your go you have to run and kite until next go, if fdk could sustain better in melee it could actually get good value from icecap and maybe dw fdk would be more popular for a more sustained damage playstyle etc. imo fdk doesnt need much to get it to where it needs to be overall. like improved deathstrike specific fdk unnerf for example could legit make the class good again. but currently its just VERY paper if you compare to unholy. you really feel the difference in sustained healing playing both specs when unholy has bloodplague and necro wounds healing

[Caligaerys-azralon]

Well, is that enough tho? I mean, they must really hate MW, this is nothing compared to what all the love Druids are getting this expansion. #jealous

[Hyouriku-windrunner]

I guess the devs are busy with rebalancing several classes. This time monk seems to get very little (but something nice, though) but these patch notes are not final and more patches will arrive, too.
Maybe they will find time to do more throughout this PTR or maybe monks will get more attention in the next one or so.
I just hope that they read and will consider several ideas made by the community.
This class doesn’t need to be OP or meta. It has to be fun and viable.

An idea/wish I currently have is the return of Chi for MW that would be spent for small mitigations for one or more party members (similar to dracthyrs essence but with mitigation/shields instead of heals). This would round that spec well up, in my opinion, as it’s philosophy already states (from Wowpedia):

“Mistweavers are unique among those who heal. The energies they channel are mysterious, oftentimes misunderstood by commoners—who rarely travel beyond the borders of their homelands—as some form of folk medicine. But those who weave the mists wield the power of life’s essence, using a mixture of preventative and restorative spells to mend their allies’ wounds. The inner tranquility that guides mistweavers allows them to sustain their healing for long periods of time, and gives them the strength to care for multiple injured allies”

Restorative spells are there - preventative one’s… We have 3 for ourselves and cocoon for the group. Having Chi for use of preventative one’s would also improve their healing for long periods of time and make them fit their description even better

[Felrynpr-malganis]

probably not enough, MW severely lacks a damage reduction and Soothing Mist (hell, all channels in this game really) being cancelled on the move is extremely outdated with how broken melee uptime is.

i’d love to see soothing mist and hell, even void torrent and mind flay: insanity usable on the move because they’re dead talents. plus torrent doesnt hit remotely as hard as rapid fire even with psychic link.

@Exsanguinate-demon-soul

what will it take for frost dks to even get a mention

February 7th:

@Kaivax

Frost

• Unleashed Frenzy duration increased to 10 seconds (was 6 seconds).
• Cleaving Strikes Obliterate now hits 2 additional targets (was 1).
• Frost Fever damage increased by 15%.
• Glacial Advance damage increased by 20%.
• Frost Strike damage increased by 10%.
• Frostwhelp’s Aid damage increased by 100%.
• Frostscythe damage increased by 35%

@Frànkiepie-emerald-dream

completely ignored hunters again.

@Kaivax

Hunter

• Beast Mastery
  • Damage dealt by Hunter and pet abilities increased by 5%.
• Marksmanship
  • Damage dealt by Hunter and pet abilities increased by 5%.
• Survival
  • Damage dealt by Hunter and pet abilities increased by 5%.

@Kaivax

Hunter

• Beast Mastery
  • Stormwing Harrier’s Camouflage 4-piece now increases the damage of your next Kill Command by 10% in PvP (was 20%).
• Marksmanship
  • Rapid Fire damage increased by 15% in PvP Combat.
  • Aimed Shot damage increased by 15% in PvP Combat.
  • Chimaera Shot damage increased by 30% in PvP Combat.
  • Unerring Vision critical strike damage bonus effectiveness reduced by 50% in PvP Combat.
• Developers’ notes: With the removal of Double Tap, Marksmanship Hunter damage has been lower than we would like to see, so we are increasing several main rotation abilities while decreasing Unerring Vision, with the goal of higher sustained damage.

[Holycow-uldaman]

@Kaivax

Preservation

• All healing reduced by 5%.

@Kaivax

Demonology

• Wild Imp damage increased 15%.
• Vilefiend damage increased 30%.

[Holycow-uldaman]

@Kaivax

• Assassination
• Vault Delver’s Toolkit 4-piece set bonus Bleed damage bonus reduced by 50% in PvP Combat.
• Developers’ notes: The 4-piece set bonus for Assassination has been more significant in their damage profile than we would like.
• Wound Poison (Deathmark version) healing reduction no longer stacks with similar effects.
• Developer’s note: The Wound Poison (from Deathmark) healing reduction effects appear mechanically similar to many others, but were stacking with other such effects and each other in a way that was not clearly communicated to players, and yet was having a significant impact on which specializations were being favored and often overperforming in PvP. We are standardizing their behavior to follow the same rules as similar effects.

Ha! You guys are so screwed now!

[Icleanseaids-tichondrius]

UN NERF PROT PALLY WOGS PLEASE SO WE CAN EVEN BE VIABLE AGAIN. This looks like Avenger shield nerf… GIVE AVENGER SHIELD HOLY POWER AGAIN!

[Cryforhelp-bleeding-hollow]

@Felrynpr-malganis

i’d love to see soothing mist and hell, even void torrent and mind flay: insanity usable on the move because they’re dead talents

And let holy priests cast smite while moving. And give smite a small heal with it!

[Exsanguinate-demon-soul]

Late derail, but i thought you should know, i found a wow pvp montage video thing i put on youtube 11 years ago. And my character is a tauren paladin named “holycow”

fitting that my first act back on the forums is off topic

Also, love the new look.

[Bramot-benediction]

They don’t want that talent to be played

[Basiltocket-benediction]

Now is probably the best time for them to remove the DW requirement on Enhancement Shaman abilities and finally allow them to use 2 handed weapons again. There is absolutely no reason to keep the spec restricted to DW and I have gone over that in a couple of videos now. The current talents provide more than enough passive Maelstrom generation at this point and so it doesn’t matter whether you DW or have 1 2handed weapon.

[Stormbringer-boulderfist (Stormbringer)]

What happened to the edit option or ability to delete posts. Id like to have this posted by my Shaman and not this mage
