Hotfix -July 9

PVP Arenas

sure they will

just look at how little we saw rdruid last season compared to how it’s 9 out of every 10 healers this season :slight_smile:

22

Yeah right lmao…
Still got dks to this day claiming unholy take 3k IQ and is much more in-depth than its own spec counterpart frost.

They are so delusional, they hate a spec of their own class so badly, that the rest of us are GLAD fdks aren’t viable. So we allow unholy to run this rampant.

23

They do not want people selecting what gear they want, they want it to be a rng based system. Go watch their previous q & a’s on YouTube.

24

I believe they have stealth hotfixed Naga Hide. It is no longer proccing off attacks for me (spent 5 minutes on a training dummy with details, not a single proc).

25

Nagahide was fixed, they posted it in their hotfix notes on the 10th

  • Fixed a bug that allowed weapons imbued with Enchant – Weapon: Naga Hide to proc from damaging abilities.
26

It wasn’t intended to be able to proc for anything but tank specs from dodge, parry, and block. This was something specifically put in the PTR build notes outlining its role as a tank only enchant.

They apparently missed a few abilities / specs that shouldn’t of been receiving benefit from it. They did however put notes to reflect this fix, go back and read it again :wink:

27

Agreed, but here’s the problem. If just 1 item slips through the cracks it will be farmed and abused by everyone (a la Harbinger’s). Also as we have seen with Crucible items even a 50% nerf often isn’t enough to make a raid item balanced in arena.

28

Naga hide still reliably proccable once ever x seconds for ww and ever x minus 13 seconds for dh, pretty sure
Only against melee attacks though

I just got that staff from azshara that has the stacking explosion. Tempted to see if it works in arena. Blizz cant be that dumb right ?

30

It does. Had someone test already.

31

Right so any class with the ability to dodge, parry, or block that isn’t a tank can still proc it?

Still seems pretty good if that’s the case for WW/DH especially. Maybe even rogue with evasion, and arms/outlaw parry.

Please report back on how it went. Bonus points if you record.

34

lol. Typical Blizzard. Sounds like they only fixed it to not work for classes that have no tank spec, but still works if you have one even if you are a different spec.

35

Seems like an oversight TBH. I do think however that it might not be worth it for dps classes anymore, depending on the proc per minute limitations of Naga. It might still be more useful to just run Force Multiplier main hand + Versatile Navigation in the offhand slot.

Versatile Navigation at least still offers a more reliable damage reduction over the duration of a match and isn’t limited to melee matchups. :thinking:

36

It’s a pretty substantial joke that force multiplier can’t buff versatility

Best survivability enchant combo will still be nagahide+vers nav even if you’re a rogue who can only proc nh once per two minutes lol

Yeah I don’t really understand why Force can’t proc +Vers.

As was proven last season survivability > damage in most situations so I totally get why 1 extra absorb during “oh $h#t” moments would still be good.

38

Wizards with instants who turn on stick auto attack beware lmao

Hahaha that would be so great.

New meta: “We have replaced MM hunters with Wand Wizards because we cannot figure out how to design the spec. Wand wizards now deal 5% of the target’s max hp as magical damage per attack, automatically casting wand attacks in between spell casts.”

re sets stacks as u enter bg :{ and before game starts i only get 20. i did manage to survive all game and reach 104 stack for a 138k crit on 4 people. that part was gold. because it also heals u and all allies within 40 yards.
