Blackjack still broken? Cool.

287

I’m just waiting for the hotfix where they let Dracthyr actually fly like every other Dracthyr NPC flying around, taunting me.

Dear Blizzard,
FIX MIDSUMMER TORCH TOSS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
WE’VE BEEN WAITING A YEAR FOR THIS.
Thank you,
the poor suckers who subscribed for a year to get stupid pixels and are now not going to get them because your game is bugged.

      • Fixed an issue causing Shadow Covenant to fail when Blessing of Spellwarding was active on the Priest.
    • Holy
      • Developers’ notes: Holy Priests have continued to trail behind other healers in DPS output, so we’re increasing the damage of a variety of spells to bring them more in line.

        • [With weekly restarts] Smite damage increased by 15%.

  • Classes
    • Druid

      • Balance

        • Developers’ notes: The cast time on Cyclone is too fast for enemy players to deal with, so we’re reducing its cast speed from Owlkin Adept and also reducing Precognition’s haste in Fractures in Time. Solar Beam’s duration lasting 8 seconds was an oversight, as it should have been reduced in the crowd control reduction pass in Embers of Neltharion.
          • [With weekly restarts] Owlkin Adept reduces the cast time of Cylcone and Entangling Roots by 15% (was 20%).
          • [With weekly restarts] Solar Beam lasts 6 seconds in PvP combat (was 8 seconds).

      • Restoration

    • Priest
      • [With weekly restarts] Catharsis now stores 15% of damage taken (was 20%) and the stored amount cannot exceed 12% of the Priest’s maximum health (was 15%).
      • Discipline
        • Developers’ notes: Discipline damage and Atonement healing continues to be lower than we’d like in PvP, so we’re increasing them to allow Discipline to be more offensive.
          • [With weekly restarts] All damage is now increased by 10% in PvP Combat.
          • [With weekly restarts] Atonement healing is now increased by 70% in PvP Combat (was 50%).
      • Shadow
        • Developers’ notes: Instant damage from Catharsis and Unfurling Darkness is accounting for more of Shadow’s burst damage than we were aiming for, so we’re bringing their power down. Shadow is also getting PvE damage buffs that affect PvP which puts some of this power loss back into rotational spells.
          • [With weekly restarts] Unfurling Darkness now deals 25% reduced damage in PvP Combat.
    • Rogue
      • Subtlety
        • [With weekly restarts] Secret Technique damage now reduced by 40% in PvP Combat (was 33%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Thief’s Bargain (PvP Talent) damage penalty increased to 10% (was 6%).
    • Shaman
      • Developers’ notes: We’re redistributing the amount of healing from instant cast sources for all Shaman and increasing the power of cast heals, so that cast heals are both more frequent and more meaningful.
      • [With weekly restarts] Healing Stream healing is now increased by 20% in PvP combat (was 30%).
      • Elemental
        • [With weekly restarts] Earth Shield healing is now reduced by 40% in PvP combat (was 30%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Surge healing is now increased by 20% in PvP combat.
      • Enhancement
        • [With weekly restarts] Earth Shield healing is now reduced by 40% in PvP combat (was 30%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Surge healing is now increased by 4% in PvP combat (was reduced by 13%).
      • Restoration
        • [With weekly restarts] Earth Shield healing is now reduced by 15% in PvP combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Surge healing is now increased by 27% in PvP combat (was 6%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Healing Wave healing is now increased by 56% in PvP combat (was 30%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Water Shield’s melee attack mana refund is now 20% effective in PvP Combat (was 50%).
        • [With weekly restarts] Water Shield now regenerates 75% more mana from its passive effect in PvP Combat.
    • Warlock
      • Developers’ notes: We’re targeting the defensive power of Demonology with these changes as they are often a difficult target to take down relative to other DPS specs. We’re also lowering the healing from Mortal Coil to lower overall self-healing from Warlocks in PvP.
        • [With weekly restarts] Mortal Coil healing is now 50% effective in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Soul Link’s shared damage with the Warlock’s pet is now 50% effective in PvP Combat.
        • [With weekly restarts] Profane Bargain’s increase to the effectiveness of Soul Link at low health is now 40% effective in PvP Combat.
291

Really? Tanks were doing too much damage in PVP?

292

nerf the aoe dmg would be better than nerf the direct dmg or the st, cuz, you’re nerfing the 4th most of dps output in ST

293

Thanks Blizzard. At least we know you’re thinking about us.

294

Are the Zskarn nerfs only for Mythic? It’s unclear from the post but I’m assuming they are.

295

Yeah, you nerf the AoE of Spriest and the ST doesn’t get buffed as you think, and is funny, how my AoE down from 300k aprox in 5 adds to 230k with 5 adds. Meanwhile, my ST is the same, even with ST build, I tried other builds, but is the same dmg of before. You didn’t balance ST with AoE haha. Just do with I said, don’t be proud, nerf the secondary damage or AoE of mind spike from Idol of Yogg-saron and the ST do the same before the nerf, we get the nerf in AoE as I said before and in ST maybe a 5-8% buff in general.

Does it feel like the more players you have in a Zskarn fight, the more traps you get. I could swear the 10-12 man raid I did had less traps than my Friday night raid that we pack with 20-30 people.

298

yeah i see that too

Sweet now we know yhe fixed

301

Blackjack is still broken and doesn’t proc off of Blind, even though the tooltip says so. Is this another thing you’re leaving broken because balancing Rogue is a headache? Like you did with Nightstalker?

Been like this since 10.1 dropped.

302

Just fyi, the Maw super rare Mor’geth is broken for some of us. It segfaults with a null pointer deref. Looks like it’s trying to index into an array that’s null, according to the crash info. Not sure when this one broke, but I’ve been able to reproduce it reliably.

Also mounted flying while drunk d/cs you to login. Think that one is a 10.0.7 regression.

Zandalari questline is bugged
