I recently returned from a few month break - I play shadow priest and I’ve been steadily farming mara for BoED for fun and some extra gold. I finally got the drop after many runs however, I did see a recent hotfix to the proc on ‘Non-Damage spells’.
Blade of Eternal Darkness will no longer proc from non-damaging spells.
- Developers’ notes: In original WoW patch 1.12.1, we fixed some misbehavior with Blade of Eternal Darkness that unfortunately got carried into WoW Classic. We fixed it again in the WoW Classic AQ patch (1.13.5), but decided to go ahead and bring the fix to the live game.
This change seems to be effecting the application of DoTs (in my case Mindflay and SW:P) which should trigger the effect on application not damage ticks. There are documented cases of this being the functionality in 1.12.1. The blade is exceptionally helpful in longer fights but only if the proc can occur as intended. Any chance for a quick change to return the proc to its previous iteration?
