1/19 tuning

[Nelphy-bloodscalp]

does that mean that even the primary chaos portion gets prevented by bop

[Battlecruisr-kiljaeden]

i have literally no idea how holystrike or chaos damage decide to interact with or bypass bop

[Nelphy-bloodscalp]

me neither
oh actually i played with a ret a few days ago who told me holystrike does get prevented by bop. squared anecdote but it’s all i got

any knowers?

[Zeithrom-quelthalas]

Honestly, at the point I don’t understand why they haven’t reversed the nerfs they did to all the DK deffensives, survival was already quite bad before these changes and now it’s going to be worse, on top of that they insist on continuing to nerf UH’s damage when there is other classes that generate much more pressure in less time than a DK UH lol.

idk axe-tossing-demon man might put a damper on things for green-fire man

may the ret/demo/rsham gods have mercy for their enemies

Halfway through the season was also not the time to implement a paradigm change like normalizing armor. I agree with doing it in general, but that is a fresh season change.

It’s a great idea to work on.

Also breaking PVP mid season around a .5 patch is consistent for them this whole expansion and I’m not sure why they’re doing it a third time.

[Nasrajin-sargeras]

I think all of these changes are good except the notion that warlock/mage, who are already invincible, dont have a compensatory nerf to soul leech/dark pact/barrier.

[Zlyrax-moon-guard]

You think the Ret buffs are good?

[Ruffle-moknathal]

@Nîpnîps-kelthuzad

Happy with hpriest changes…

priest are the most op healer

down with priests

[Nasrajin-sargeras]

I think that ret was probably the worst melee in the game, so ya I think some damage buffs are okay. It’s probably an overbuff to the class in pvp, but honestly it pales in comparison to the strength that SP and warlock got.

@Exalter-malganis

Sucio post your details log after a shuffle as evidence of DH’s doing more than 5% of their total damage as physical.

Only physical thing we have is glaive toss, auto attacks, and the small hits (aoe) from blade dance, we take a talent that makes the last hit chaos damage and that’s the one that always on death logs.
Minor nerf to soulrend tick on clothies, cause it does a % of the damage from glaive as chaos damage over time.

[Exalter-malganis (Exalter)]

Thank you sir.

@Kydrav-khadgar

I guess the only saving grace is if it’s really horrid, it’ll be adjusted by next season.

I think they pulled the trigger on this now b/c pvp is, by their own making low participation. They didn’t do that on purpose but the opportunity came up and they took it.

Why is beyond me though. These aren’t good changes. Even though shadow got buffed I still hate the patch.

[Vigormuerte-sulfuras]

I suppose it is either this, or they adjust inflation again.

Someone, chose poorly.

[Zlyrax-moon-guard]

@Nasrajin-sargeras

I think that ret was probably the worst melee in the game,

Shuffle rep at higher ratings was behind DH/Dk/Arms but it still blew Fury/Enh/Surv out the water

[Shortñdeadly-area-52]
