Yeah, they also said

For example, in PvP, we’re looking into specializations that may have some high-damage conditions.

Again, we’ll update you as soon as we’re set on adjustments to that.

They nerfed chaos bolt by 25% going into the expansion. Don’t cry, you’re literally being starsurged for 9k during incarn and bolts are hitting you for less during dark soul, have a huge cast time, are interruptible, and have a purgable shorter buff to do so.

Thank god they gave destro it’s teeth back.

Does that mean mortal strike damage is unchanged in pvp or nerfed?

15

It’s nice to see actual buffs than just nerfs

I think DH deserve more buffs at the expense of the hunt

Unchanged. They’ve been balancing like this since Legion, where they can buff or nerf in PvE independently from PvP.

unchanged
10chara

what exactly did i do to deserve a 15% damage nerf?

18

I think all of us would gladly take that. My wins are largely determined if I can drop you with The Hunt or not which isn’t fun for anyone.

I think that means after the buff which would mean it will be exact same in pvp as currently. Just wanted others to confirm.
