These adjustments will be applied to the live game with scheduled weekly maintenance on Tuesday, June 27 in this region. Classes Death Knight Blood All damaging abilities increased by 6.5%. Demon Hunter Havoc Chaos Strike/Annihilation damage increased by 15%. Melee autoattack damage increased by 15%. Demon Blades damage increased b…

Solar Beam’s duration lasting 8 seconds was an oversight

Oops?

Player Versus Player

Items

• Gladiator’s Distinction primary stat bonus reduced to 20% (was 25%) for all damage dealing and tank specializations.

@Kaivax

• 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.
• All damage increased by 10% in PvP combat.
• Atonement healing is now increased by 70% in PvP combat (was 50%).

@Kaivax

Rogue

• Subtlety
  • Secret Technique damage is now reduced by 40% in PvP combat (was 33%).
  • Thief’s Bargain (PvP Talent) damage penalty increased to 10% (was 6%).

@Kaivax

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.
• Mortal Coil healing is now 50% effective in PvP combat.
• Soul Link’s shared damage with the Warlock’s pet is now 50% effective in PvP combat.
• Profane Bargain’s increase to the effectiveness of Soul Link at low health is now 40% effective in PvP combat.

There must be some oversight not seeing Assassination or Outlaw rogue buff

Dang I was the only still playing that.

@Sancaiya-old-blanchy

sp gonna pump.

not much is gonna change in terms of sp tbh. all this does is kill off wizk’s build. all the buffed spells are to abilities not really cast or hit for tiny amounts of damage to begin with and then they nerf catharsis which was a better execute than sw:death anyways

it does mean sp is safer to train tho

[Holycow-uldaman]

I like that they said they’re targeting Demo, and then they proceed to nerf talents in the tree used by all warlock specs.

[Demoniclily-kiljaeden (Demoniclily)]

Because demo is not tankier than the other specs, it just looks like it is. It’s an illusion.

Proceeds to nerf the warlock class talent tree.

What are you hiding?

[Nasrajin-sargeras]

Fast clone nerfed more too!

Surprise there is nothing specifically on the demo tree that makes it tankier than the other 2 specs. It’s just because demo plays soul link with pet while the other 2 sac and just have soul link for hp boost.

[Reczy-azralon]

Clearly the people in charge of these decisions don’t play pvp.

[Holycow-uldaman]

They could have made those nerfs specifically apply to Demo only.

Just thought it was kinda funny.

[Reczy-azralon]

I’m tired bros, i’ll just play another game, any suggestions?

[Holycow-uldaman]

@Reczy-azralon

any suggestions?

Diablo 4!

Destro and aff both sac their pet

[Holycow-uldaman]

I heard even with sac, there are fancy summoning plays for double kicks or something like that.

I just thought it was amusing they hit the class tree. I get what’s going on.

You kick, fel dom kick, and then sac it after

Coil nerf kinda cringe tho it hurts aff and destro

[Sensitivthug-sargeras]

They should have nerfed demo’s cc instead of their defensives, since their ridiculous cc is what’s keeping them alive anyway.

Axe toss/grimoire:felguard and coil need to be 3 seconds each. Maybe fear should only be 5 seconds too.

[Art-guldan]

@Sensitivthug-sargeras

their ridiculous cc is what’s keeping them alive anyway.

Nah demo is way too tanky even without cc

They should have removed axe toss from the grim felguard summon tho

[Nikdruidne-tichondrius]

What about the massive rdruid nerf to verdant infusion. Thats actually rediculous
