Datamined 10.1.5 class updates show Corrosive Dosage. Pretty neat.
The Mistweaver core passive still has increases on Weapons of Order, the Corrosive Dosage boost might just be a mistake.
I hope we get it back.
I didnt play in shadowlands but…neat :3
I hope not.
I hated how broken and stupid that was in Torghast.
oh yeah, even if it only applied to the main vivify heal it’s essentially hitting every target with a buffed RSK every 3 seconds. The effect would have to be massively scaled back to be even remotely balanced.
Omg this would be awesome! It would have to be scaled as other people have said, but MW’s are definitely due for a meaningful buff. (The minor % buffs to healing don’t count.)
Omg that would be amazing. I’ve been wanting that spell since the first time I saw it in Torghast.
Obviously they will balance it.
I think it’s a fun addition and may make a pure caster mw more viable in m+ which would be interesting.
I don’t see how, from a balancing standpoint, you can justify having your main healing spell (with casting builds) also be your damage source. Either it’s gonna be broken, or tuned to worthlessness.
Also, while it was fun in Torghast, the gameplay in m+ would be way to degenerate. Fistweaving builds at least have to transition SCK spam into chiji-bokcleaves, or just bok-cleave depending on amount of targets and healing required.
Big no-thanks from me, MW tree is already shoehorned heavily, don’t want to bloat it with a spell that frankly only belongs in rogue-likes.
There’s definitely going to be a concern if:
- it works with the MW cleave healing
 - it incentivizes you to spam vivify (this would be lame)
 
Looks like the changes are to make it so just 10% of your vivify hurts nearby enemies (it was 50% in Torghast).
Doesn’t seem too bad, and should be a nice damage buff for people who don’t want to melee. And for everyone else who plays MW optimally, it’s a benefit as well.
It’s a ten percent buff from the core passive on the 50% transfer of the torghast power, it would be a new spell with a percentage change if it was that.
EDIT: Or an 80% reduction if the core passive was being used to create the intended number.
Which is also still too strong if it applies to anything more then the main hit.
Hopefully it ends up in the class tree or baseline if anything. There are a bunch of filler talents in the class tree that can be deleted or reworked back into their respective abilities to make room for something more interesting like Corrosive Damage.
I have my doubts it’ll work with vivify’s cleave healing because the tooltip only states “vivify”, but you never know and I didnt play SL so not sure how it worked then. Like Jae mentioned too it’s just 10% of the vivs so I don’t think it’ll be too OP, even with CF and our 4 set buffing vivify. I think we will just want to proc it once adds are grouped and then go back to SCK, refresh as needed when there are x enemies grouped and if possible/no one needs to be healed.
Only thing I am concerned about is where it will go. I am hoping it gets put in the class tree. Our Spec tree is already pretty point starved due to all the 2/2 talents. If it’s put in the spec tree Ill just ignore it and keep what I have now for dps-ing ( combining SCK-ing with SI/ID/SG+Lessons w/ the call of dominance trinket ).
Zen pulse proccing it too wouldn’t be a bad idea maybe even depending on how strong it ends up being - to get that ability synergy.
Either way font of life buff is yay.
Well it looks like they are nerfing ancient teachings so you might have to do it in m+ to be viable. You still have to melee thought o renew RM though.
The AT nerf is offset by the 10% aura buff we’re getting. It’s like a -1% change so it won’t even be noticeable
Thats good then maybe depending on where they put it we can get both. Or on weeks that I hate melee i can just do CF.
You really think they’ll put it in exactly as it was tuned in Torg?
Some people…
Considering that the change here is literally just a buff to the ability from Torghast exactly as it was.
Some people…
OK guy, so because you saw a datamined Torg ability now you think MW’s are going to go around out DPSing everyone in their group. It’s locked in stone because that’s the way it’s written in a datamined post. All hail our 400k DPS MW overlords
