The on-use is nerfed by 70% in PvP, no?

Not sure, Im still seeing people do touch of death levels of damage with it though
Lets follow the rabbit hole
Name : Extinction Blast (id=419278)
Effects :
#1 (id=1092139) : Trigger Missiles (32) | Scaling Class: -9
Base Value: 0 | Scaled Value: 39800.5 (coefficient=233.9821) | PvP Coefficient: 0.30000 | Trigger Spell: 419279 | Target: Enemy (6)So it triggers a spell, the pvp coefficient doesn’t matter here. lets see what it triggers.
Name : Extinction Blast (id=419279)
Effects :
#1 (id=1092142) : School Damage (2): nature
Base Value: 0 | Scaled Value: 0 | PvP Coefficient: 0.30000 | Target: Enemy (6)
#2 (id=1092913) : Dummy (3)
Base Value: 0 | Scaled Value: 0 | PvP Coefficient: 1.00000 | Trigger Spell: 419282Effect #1 handles the damage dealt, and has a pvp coefficient of 0.3, meaning a 70% nerf if its working properly. Effect #2 triggers another spell, self targeted, and likely handles the cooldown reduction. It has a pvp coefficient of 1, but this just means that the cooldown reduction has no modifier and shouldn’t impact the damage at all.
Name : Extinction Blast (id=419282) [Passive, Hidden]

Base Value: 0 | Scaled Value: 39800.5 (coefficient=233.9821) | PvP Coefficient: 1.00000 | Target: Self (1)Even at 489 ilvl, it should only be hitting for 110k, tops.

That’s not very extinction blast-y.

it definitely hits a lot harder
I push M+ keys to an extent I have a 6/6 hero track iridal 483 ilvl. I absolutely delete people with that staff… so hilarious and also unfair.
I believe I’ve hit crits for over 300k. It absolutely shreds people. In PvE the staff can hit for like 800k+

Not anymore. I just got it a few days ago. It hits for 20-30k at 489. Pretty pathetic. I think 100k should be acceptable, since my instant cast arcane barrages with single charges hit harder than 30k and can be spammed.
Hello, auto-attacks hit harder lol.

Apologies. I never know when it is too late.
Found the notes. It was hot fixed Feb 6th to deal 10% of its damage (down from 30%). Odd, because intellect and stamina bonuses increased, yet the 3 min on-use effect of this item went way down.
Logic.
its a pve item and isn’t meant to be good in pvp.

I agree that it is a PvE item. I would be okay with all PvE use and effects nerfed by 100%! Way too may modifiers in the game with some things being 70%, 60%, 90% (this one) and unless you keep up on the notes, who the hell can truly know?
This is correct. 35% execution range with the way health pools jump from 5% to full.
At this point, maybe just nerf all PvE trinkets and on-use effects by 100%. That includes legendary items.
It offered more or less the exact same stats as a dedicated pvp weapon but also did a free 120-160k hit.
The nerf was fine.
People crying over a staff ability and getting it Nerf’d because it does what it should. It maybe give a slight advantage but THATS what’s WOW is all about. Those who farmed it got it and guess what to their advantage.
Sad that Blizzard bows their knees to every bs complaint trying to " balance" the entire game till its flavor is extremely BLAND because people can’t learn to outplay each other and want’s their handicapps hotfixed., and everyone eventually quits because they nerf the game into a BLAND flavor and it no longer becomes fun.
Might as well call it Extinction bluff. hits <40k dmg now pathetic does nothing in pvp

It did too much damage with no drawback.
Getting a mythic track one was just luck, though. You’d do 8 18-20s a week and hope.
