I advocated against Illuminated Sigils from the time it was announced, and support the nerf we all knew was coming. Now that it’s here, however, can we please revert the half-measures they took last month? Change Sigil of Silence back to 60s and Cycle of Binding back to 3s? I agree the bigger nerf was needed, but it was needed instead of the previous nerfs, not on top of them. Thanks!

Tier was always the problem. They just needed to add a 30 second CD increase to SoS, SoM and SoC when you talent into Cycle of Binding and also when you talent into Illuminated Sigils. This was never a double sigils issue, it was always an issue with the tier set causing you to have too many casts of SoF.
they destroyed the vdh instead of improving the other classes. They ruined the DH tank
It was always a double sigils issue. Anyone could see it coming, from the time Illuminated Sigils was announced. I was in here, saying “surely they won’t let it go live this way!” but they did. And the predictable happened: VDH became the overwhelming meta for M+, and other players stopped even bothering to interrupt. It needed to get nerfed. But along the way, they did the weak nerf to Sigil of Silence and Cycle of Binding. Those are no longer needed now that Illuminated Sigils will only apply to Sigil of Flame.
Nah, we’re not ruined. We still have 4 aoe stops, and are very tanky. But now that they’ve finally fixed it, they can revert earlier half measures.
We always had 4 aoe stops. The only change now is that they made sigil of chains more accessible. I think we are fine but I’m assuming we will fall out of meta and prot pally and bdk will be back up top. Maybe bear. Bears always sneaky.
VDH, Prot War and BRM will fill out the bottom three. Why? Utility. Top 3 bring a bres, a bunch of stops, off heals, and plenty of damage.
Misery used to be harder to get as well.
Ok. But we still could have 4 stops but then our damage was garbage. We were far from meta then also. If anyone thinks we will be meta or close to it with this change is crazy. Personally I don’t care because I’m not a .1% title holder but it will make pugging 15+ keys higher again.
We need last resort moved up or reducing the CD on this. It’s awful when it pops 1/2 the time on a wipe. Make it a worthwhile capstone.
They just need to remove Illuminated Sigils, bring back Flame Crash and call it a day. If they really want us to have that extra %15 parry then just slap it on a Demon Spikes talent.
I don’t see why something so fundamental to our survivability is even tied to a talent in the first place.
Illuminated Sigils should never have made it past testing. It was obviously, egregiously broken.
This is a good change. It clears the field for real change. Eventually.

Without Illuminated Sigils, the spec still has wonderful AoE control, great mobility, and is finally as tanky as other specs. Other tanks will at least have the chance to compete, and DPS in their groups will have to carry their weight when it comes to control.
