Furious Ragefeather & Eye of Skovald; Please NERF

Alright Blizz,

We know you see the hundreds of post about people running the dungeon 30+ times for these trinkets. We know you see all the comments complaining about the drops rates .

It’s time to nerf these trinkets. Why? Because, it’s creating frustration and burnout in the game. Frustration and Burnout is not what you want in the game, especially after only just being released. People are spending hours upon hours in the same dungeon daily just trying to farm these trinkets, with no luck.

People can say “Well they don’t have to, they just choose too.”

That is completely false. They feel like they have to. People are literally being sat because they don’t have these trinkets. While it may not be /exactly/ someone inspecting you and saying “You don’t have FRF or EoS, so we’re kicking you” the fact is, the damage and DPS these trinkets give PASSIVELY makes up for that argument.

People with the trinkets are pulling much higher DPS. People are being sat because their peers with the trinkets are doing much more DPS then them, and there’s nothing they can do about it.

Sure, you can say “Oh ItS a SkIlL tHiNg”. But it’s really not. Give the same player the same exact character duplicate, except them not having the trinket. I promise you the ones with the trinkets will be pulling way higher.

Let’s look at the top end logs:

Each trinket does anywhere from 3.5-5% of the TOTAL DAMAGE for a raid boss. Passively. 5% of their damage is PASSIVE. While 5% doesn’t sound a lot, that’s 3-5k DPS they get, for a SINGLE item. PASSIVELY. 40k DPS vice 35k. That’s huge.

Let’s also look at all the RWF players that ran not 1, but SEVERAL toons in attempts to get the trinkets. The toon they brought to the raid, is the one who got these trinkets.

People are being sat, because the low drop rate, crappy RNG, and no control over something. It’s causing burnout. It’s causing frustration. Nerf these trinkets so they are not a “mandatory” piece of gear to have.

The ragefeather is good, but it’s not broken good. It just sims a bit higher than the other available trinkets. Don’t make trinkets more boring than they already are.

It’s broken. Providing 3-5k DPS passively for just equipping it is broken. No other trinket comes even close to that. Let alone, passively.

When people are getting benched in raids, RWF was full of people requiring the trinkets, etc it’s a problem.

It does about 4% of my damage, which is par for the course for any trinket. That also describes like every other proc trinket.

It’s not giving nearly that much dps.

The trinket balance is absolutely trash, but you need numbers which show that one trinket is significantly better than another (or ideally numbers for all trinkets so it’s easy to see what needs buffs and nerfs)

Personally I’m not doing high-end content, but I watch my ragefeather constistently do 8+% of my total damage in dungeons and umbrelskul’s fractured heart do 4% on a good day (single target and aoe combined) and I don’t understand how they messed up this bad

my dude it will ALWAYS be a problem that is the nature of this game

Logs beg to differ.

imagine being a havok dh a frost uh dk or retry paladin you not jsut need rng for the drop but you need that the person gives it to you
that is hard

no fun allowed? might as well delete rare drops from raid too. All trinkets must be equal or I dont wanna play!

And what the actual F will that solve? Except showing big steel tube into arses of ppl who already got them or farm them and make them to go and farm another trinkets that would replace these on top sim charts.

Please think before you type…it not that difficult.

I tossing my flag for this one. Gonna need the replay booth to confirm.

Also, 5% or 40k is 2k. Not 5k. You mixed up your % and your k.

I can’t believe someone just gave me the eye of skovald today lol. What a nice person. They had better trinkets(embellished alchemy one and whispering incarnate icon) but still.

What a nice person.
