Immunities Redesigned in 8.3 - Fixed

Edit: This is no longer an issue as of the week starting 18th Feb 2020

TLDR: Final stand sucks now
TLDR 2: Not really, just feelsbad

SW = Blessing of Spellwarding
FS = Final Stand

In 8.3 there’s been some kind of wide ranging change to immunities. The fixate taunt from final stand no longer applies to spells, casters are now far more likely to ignore you with their magic abilites when using SW. I would ask for this to be reverted as it’s a big nerf to that utility for paladin, or at least some patch notes with developer feedback about why this is the case

Nyalotha:
Wrathion will breath on the raid rather than yourself or your cotank if you SW or FS before the start of his cast

SotS:
Water bolts in shrine go on party members when you FS
Deep smash in shrine will go on melee if you SW or FS

AD:
Yazma skewers will go on melee if you FS
Shieldbearer shield bashes go on melee if you FS
Honour Guard bleeds will go on melee if you FS (while in melee range of them)
Rezan will completely drop aggro if you FS

KR:
Berserkers will cast their bleed on a melee if you FS (while in melee range of them)
Zul will completely drop aggro if you FS

Mechagon:
King mecha will completely drop aggro in p2 if you FS

SoB:
Marauders curse slash melee if you SW or FS

WCM:
Lord waycrest will wasting strike melee if you SW or FS

I don’t do much m+ so feel free to add your own experiences to this thread.

100% agree, something is broken and I’ve been noticing these same things. Thanks for making the thread, hopefully some attention gets brought!

Thanks for posting this. :wink:

I had no idea and it explains a lot from my shrine run when I bubbled and lost everything.

Bump.

Blue can we get a comment here please? This has wiped my M+ more than once.

Please revert this back or at least give us developer notes on why this change was made.

Gah, I murdered my DPS via Shrine caster mobs the other day, and this would explain it. I thought I just screwed up somehow…

This seems like a pretty terrible change. Final Stand bubble is one of the strongest things in our toolkit, and it’s going to be too dangerous to use now. (I don’t want to have to memorize every pull where it is and isn’t safe to use…)

I just want to take a moment to thank you for the legend of your shorthand at the start of your post. <3

Tree boss in the Manor will use crush on a dps now too.

Fixed! :smiley:

Holy crap, I was wondering what I was doing wrong. I actually changed to HoP because I thought FS was straight up bugged. Thanks for this thread.
