Meridian Strikes doesn’t exist anymore. Also rolling thunder or whatever, the storm strike trait is also nerfed in PvP. Only stacks once instead of the full 15.

3

Almost all of them got hit. With the inclusion of the 5th ring, we will have access to a lot more traits and stacking is even easier.

I know the healing and damage on Apothocary’s concoction got reduced. Not sure how much but I’ll look.

4

Yeah I just went through mmo champion from beginning of bfa to now last night, good chance I missed a bunch of them scrolling through tons of useless posts

5

Good list to have, it’s needed.

The Galvanising Spark nerf was made baseline outside of PvP so I don’t feel like it’s necessary to list.

6

It’s actually 30% in pve, unchanged in pvp it said

7

Good post. Not sure why they dont keep a blue sticky on all the pvp forums of currently reduced/adjusted things. Its pertinant to decision making and gameplay for players.

The values don’t change between the two areas of the game anymore.

9

The post specified “Unchanged in pvp” though, so I don’t think it was actually effected

10

Hey thanks for putting this together OP!

I feel like it would be a good idea for blizzard to make a sticky and keep it up to date with the PvP specific tunes that they’ve made to specs over time.

11

Maybe they’ll make this a sticky and then I won’t have to update it anymore :slight_smile:

12

Lore’s holding Ythisens hostage, it ain’t likely :stuck_out_tongue:

13

Some of the things are documented though and the tooltips change, but for ones ONLY nerfed in pvp the tooltips aren’t changed so no one knows what’s going on

14

Think about a year from now though. What if you’re a new player or just coming back. That documentation is going to be pretty well buried and it won’t be super clear to you. Not impossible to go back and research/figure out, but it would be nice of them to do it.

15

Is it me, or has blizzard been really sloppy with patch notes and changes?

For rogues, Twist the Knife and Night’s Vengeance are also nerfed in PvP by around 65%.

Blizzard has been god awful with communication regarding this stuff.
It’s like they don’t write it down themselves in their notepads and forget to put it up in the patch notes.

They really have been, worse it’s ever been I think… the documentation on changes is just bad

18

demon hunter revolving blades reduced by 35%
thirsting blades reduced by 60%

19

Do you know for sure the %s I want the list to be as accurate as possible

20

God they need to make their own official post with these numbers and keep them updated… They’re are so many changes all over the place, how is a new or returning player supposed to have any clue.

I know blizzard talked about splitting PvP and pve to balance better but I feel like this is a crap shoot. I don’t think balancing is any better now that it was in mop…
