For those that don't know, Merektha's Fang was buffed on August 28: "Merektha's Fang is now on the Global Cooldown, and its damage has been increased by 317%."
As such, its damage went from 843 to 1829. In the new hotfix of August 30: "Merektha's Fang now applies Noxious Venom to targets every 1 second (was every 0.5 seconds)."
It's damage is now only 823 again, thus making it useless as a trinket again. Thankfully I kept my Briny Barnacle.
I wonder if this was intended or just a !@#$ up by Blizz.
Damage on Single Target went from 53k (OP) to 15k (Useless).
-Edit-
Mine was a Mythic 340 Trinket.
Forum moving so fast that this topic is already RIP, lol
Already nerfed.
I did 64k dps with it once, some warlock was all like 64k dps . . .
Probably why it was nerfed they didn't want people to do this crap.

It was stupidly broken after the first hot fix. It needed to be nerfed before M+ released. But its sad they didn't find a middle ground
dmg buff remains but stacks 100% slower, was way broken after initial buff
Being able to destroy a trash pack every 2 min isn't all that useful when you think about it.

The damage buff literally doesn't remain. Just look at the damage -.-

True, but being useless also isn't good, especially since in Mythic+ you can't swap gear.
So there was ANOTHER change to this trinket? Now every time I take damage, the channel stops? I cannot see this posted anywhere, but I have tested it multiple times now. WHY? It is now useless to tanks.
I agree with you Silverspoonz - my trinket turns off all the time now after 0.25s of casting. I even tried it several times on a target dummy and it stopped before a single stack built up, effectively 0 dps. I am also Blood DK, maybe there is a bug with them?
TBH with the way this exp is right now, just keep every 340 item you get until it settles down.

Sad, but true.
That is a good call Khloros, I will be doing that moving forward for sure. But I REALLY hope its just a bug and they fix it.. If they are trying to make it not work for tanks.. meh.. that sucks but I kinda get it.. however, if you are a DPS, and you are soloing something.. that ALSO makes the trinket useless, because you are going to get attacked. I'm ok with the DPS nerf because it was broken AF, but not the interruptible channel nerf.
Use Effect Trinket? Check
Yep, don't care.

It was actually very overpowered until they nerfed it into the !@#$ hole.
So could a blue comment on why we can't middle ground this trinket? 350 version sitting in the bank because's it's the 3rd worst trinket in the game now. Which is lower than it was pre-nerf?
Got a nice 380 of this and it's still the bottom trinket for AoE and single target.
Given that this item will be around in mythic plus and tuesday chests for the life of the expansion, can we give this a look?
