10.1 crit changes

This change seems like it affects some specs a lot more than others.

For example, it fixes (partially) something like a ret chaining crits into you and basically globaling you. Or a monk.

But it overly affects classes like Destro, Frost, and Ele - where nearly 100% of their damage output (meaningful damage output) is all critical strikes.

Anyway, it’s a blanket nerf that affects some specs way more than others.

That’s okay it’s still early there will probably be compensation

Im not saying there wont be. But i imagine its in the wait and see format. As in theyll wait and then incrementally fix classes that underperformed week by week. Like the reverse of the current.

I could see the devs doing that. I could also see them doing nothing as we’ve seen in the past. Time will tell.

I’d prefer that design it’s easier to bring up underperforming specs and I feel like people will feel rewarded

At the start of this xpac there was so much complaining as overperformers received constant nerfs

What are the crit changes? Is it the crit damage modifier or something else?

Yeah crit damage mod going from 175% to 150.

Booooo

Why did they change it at all if they were just gonna revert it? :joy:

Also, this is a huge nerf to fire mages

I remember I wanted it changed, but in hindsight it was a mistake so it needs reverted imo. But yeah some specs are really gonna feel it.

Keep in minds that all these specs are getting precog baseline now. So it might be that they are net buffed.

It would be pretty easy to address auto crit abilities with aura buffs in PvP, but it should definitely be looked into.

agreed it should be 125% not 150%

I believe a lot of the over performers are the crit classes so I doubt that they will buff them all. I can see already dead specs like frost Dk getting compensated since the only thing that remotely keeps them playable is their crit burst but classes like ele and others already have large enough lynch mobs to have looking at nerfs prior to this change.

And arms warrior.
But the high end damage on all of these classes is way too high to begin with.
Yes, it affects these specs more. But they are (with the exception of frost mage) all very over represented specs who’s damage needs to be toned down.

They might see changes to compensate, but they probably don’t need to be compensated if they’re already doing better than most specs.
