Onyx Annulet Changes

Decide quickly about what you’re going to do about the eggnog ring. I still have 2 sparks.

Ret in free fall on DPS rankings every week because everyone figuring out how to not die. Sick of this stupid Retribution Aura garbage inflating my DPS every start of tier so it looks like we are doing better than reality. 2% damage doesn’t come close to offsetting the Annulet, what a joke, help the spec out NOW!

When is this going live?

I’ve prepared thankfully and i have really good rings waiting to be used with the right stats. I figured it wasn’t gonna be long until it got nerfed lol.

Ww monks will need more help tho than the 2 percent you are giving us. It’s accounting for nearly 10 percent of ww dmg so please don’t ruin us

Here we go again,they give then the twist.

In the fractures in time patch.

When is that supposed to come out? Anyone know?

Just going to continue to go down because our secondary stats scale poorly. That’s the reason the annulet was so good, because its damage scaled with Vers/Crit, which means it actually kept getting better as we got more Vers/Crit. We will now go back to poor scaling with no band aid and our damage will plummet. Maybe they shouldn’t have kneecapped our Mastery in the rework.

Glad it never dropped for me, Id hate to be using it to this date.

While its nice to be free from this ring, however this a nerf to Windwalker and a flat 2% across the board is not enough considering the annulet makes up like somewhere around 5% to 10% of our damage

Since Windwalker relies on borrowed power such as tier sets, trinkets (like the bomb dispenser and beacon), Djaruun and the annulet to make up our low single target and even still we are underperforming.

I suggest buffing WW a bit more then just a 2% buff.

I don’t think a -40% nerf is really enough.

The Primordial Stones are 20% of my overall damage on my Priest so that’s almost 10 million damage in some dungeons. The nerf would be a -4 million overall dps reduction and a 5 million dps upgrade from the 10% increase.

Assuming a 447 ring is a generous 6% dps increase…the Primordial Stone still beat its out.

Next thing you know they’ll be nerfing season 1 rings. I’m still rocking a 415 Platinum Star Band because its worlds above anything thats dropped this season.
I haven’t been using the onyx ring anyway, as Feral it’s kinda meh outside of raid bosses anyway. But it is funny this comes after they buffed the rings/stones to make them worth taking in the last patch only to nuke them now.

This ring assuming you meant the onyx was around 6-8% of ferals DPS in single target and AoE so I’m curious if we’re going to be compensated by those questionable PTR changes for us.

it can easily deal over 15% of your total damage, they are way too strong for how easy it was to get them.

Correct, I edited for clarification. I’ve not seen the onyx ring contribute that much to aoe personally. Maybe when it procs more often it would, but on average for me it was no better than my toxic thorns damage in aoe and the same for single target outside of when I used the arcane stone and talented into moonfire. Then it became a more noticeable percentage of my damage. Again, personally, I’ve seen it contribute more to my damage as guardian than feral.
In the end I highly doubt they will compensate ferals for the damage it contributed, but one can always hope, right?
