Like seriously, can we please take the “Writhing Segment of Drest’agath” trinket and drop it onto the NERF tree and let it hit every branch on the way down. It is still the most used DPS trinket in PvP and it is from the BFA expansion. There is no excuse for it do as much damage as it does and Rogues are absolutely abusing it with their 100% guaranteed crit legendary.
Thank you.
Finally a thread that i can get on board with.
I 100% expected this to be addressed today, especially since they purged all the old world exploitable gear in the pre-patch. I guess we’ll have to hope for the best in the next round of tuning…
Agreed! There is no reason this should still be an issue.
JFC the level of ignorance.
Drest does less damage than the new trinkets coming out today, yall realize that right?
Even post nerf Skulkers Normal, does more than a Herioc Drest…
The problem is not the trinket, its the rogue legendary interaction with the trinket.
Post on ur rogue
Im a DH.
If I was a rogue, why would I be pointing out that the real issue is the trinket with the rogue leggo, not the trinket itself?
The leggo won’t be nerfed soon. It’s easier and more practical to get rid of a outdated trinket that shouldn’t be working in any environment of Shadowlands.
They nerfed Echoing Reprimand but not Drest
Hello?!??!?!?!?!
Okay?
So then this thread repeats tommorow with “Nerf Skulkers/Dreadfire/XXX”
The problem still remains, meanwhile we nerf the trinkets more so they are unusable for every class that isnt a Rogue. the trinkets are not the problem the legendary is.
Post on your Rogue please.
theres zero reason that a trinket that plagued the last expansion should still be an issue in the next one. asking for them to nerf drest (again) isnt ignorant in any way at all. its wanting the game to not be ruined by pve trinkets for a second expansion in a row, especially when the trinket isnt even from the current expansion.
Its barely even relevant…
Your completely ignoring the real problem.
That’s not true actually. The SL trinkets are massively reduced in PvP, Drest isn’t at all.
The SL trinkets with the massive reduction still do MUCH more damage than Drest does.
The problem is NOT drest, the problem is Rogues Leggo…
Dres does 3.5k Skulkers does 12k, Skulkers got a 55% nerf okay, thats still 6k damage, and when a rogue gets it, it will do its almost its full 12k damage.
THAT IS THE ISSUE HERE.
Lets not even mention Dreadfire, that does 14k :P.
the issue is allowing pve trinkets in pvp, they just dont have a place in arenas.
Well seeing how the game is made by PVE only players, that is never going to happen.
Plus they already disabled trinkets in arena, and all hell broke lose. Did you forget legion already?
If you’re a caster and looking for an old trinket that’s as strong as drest, use voodoo doll. Still does about 4k damage base.
Oh and Remote Guidance Device.
just because the game is made by pve players doesnt mean they can be ignorant to the problems in pvp, its made by the same people and have had the best players in the game giving them advice for the past decade or so. and if they dont want to outright disable pve trinkets in pve, then they can effectively do the same thing by nerfing them by 90%, then yeah sure the people who wanna use them just to use them can, but theyre not going to do anything impactful.
Once again, they already did disable PVE (well all back then, and we got talents and medallion) Trinkets in Arena.
And this forum was filled with tears about trinkets not working.
We are a minority the majority wants their OP PVE gear to Roflstomp better PVP players. Thats how the game is being designed.
