April 16th PVP HOTFIXES

PVP Arenas

%hp is bad period lel

22

Depends really, lasso is the one that is good but not amazingly good cause it has a 30s cd and only deals 7% more damage than gpyro. Honestly if they buffed everyone’s consistent damage then it wouldn’t matter since that 42% would seem small in comparison.

23

30s cd, instant/channelled stun that ignores LoS while dealing 40%hp.

24

Again Cdew and others fixing the crap that is PvP right now instead of the actual developers.

The developers in this game should simply resign

Seems like hotfixes are mostly driven by feedback from the top streamers. Devs can’t think for themselves at this point or just can’t be bothered.

glad they nerfed the trinkets but this hotfix should have happened weeks ago

29

If this nerf doesn’t hit the mainstay of the trinket it’s still probably really strong. Safeguard barely adds 60-120k absorb across a game, but even post nerf this will be close to 150k or more in 2s.

30

I just realized that they only nerfed the old trinkets and ONE of the new trinkets, yet all the other new items weren’t touched.

I guess they still want people to do the new raid for their absorb proc gloves, weapon, and belt.

Since the new raid is opening today, we may have a few weeks (2-3) until they start to pop on rated PVP matches, that may be the time Blizzard need to nerf them (idk, I don’t think they will, but I’m trying to be positive here…)

32

Sadly I’m sure some of those ppl already got glad, so it was worth it to them :sleepy:

33

I agree, on my fire mage I actually prefer the gameplay fireball/scorch, but GPy does too much damage to not use currently. I will play my mage more when they shift the damage. % health spells have got to go.

Doesn’t this just mean I’m going to face more prot teams? Make it 50% for tank/heals and 75% for other roles tbh.

Also nerf all the crucible special effets… at least now I can roll on the op frost proc/heal proc pants unlike tank trinkets but this is still so silly :frowning:

If they buff SK and ES to give Ele more sustained damage , they can nerf or remove Lasso.

36

There’s so many OP items about to be released:

CC immunity for 30 seconds to auto break poly, repentence, trap, blind, etc.

Another massive healing trinket, especially more useful against DK’s and Demo locks

2 more absorb items for DK’s to abuse, because they need more tankiness…

Rdruids will be god mode with these

Just a few examples of stuff that will drastically change the meta. I’m 99.9% sure all of these will go live with zero foresight from the PvP devs to have them pre-tuned in Rated Arena/RGBs.

Does that trinket re apply when polied? 30 sec dot one i mean.

38

All PvE trinkets should receive the 50% nerf. These ones should be more in the 75% realm.

39

It’s a buff that you have to remove yourself, I can’t imagine CC will stop the effect. Just like using Gladiator’s Main-Stat/Vers trinkets those stat buffs are not purgable.

I’m sorry but the loss of 1800+ intellect main stat for this is not worth the proc…
