There are no patch not stating that it is the direct result of PI.

Thanks for a very well thought out post!

Are these the nerfs that the Warlock Discord Community is saying are due to PI scaling out of control? Because I absolutely don’t see any appreciable nerfs after that date and several in this thread have stated it’s an on-going thing (like the specs are being nerfed daily or at least weekly). Nobody’s giving PI to Affliction (which got nerfed) but Destro (a top PI target) isn’t even on the list below.

Or are these the dreaded stealth-nerfs that never get disclosed but dramatically impact a class/spec? If so, bad on the devs; transparency is important to an informed player base, and an informed player base is often happier than not (maybe they don’t care).

Classes

• Warlock
  • Developers’ note: We’re modifying the output of Grimoire of Sacrifice to bring it in line with the output of Warlock demons. At the end of the day Warlock is a pet-centric class and while we want there to be an option to opt-out of your pet, we don’t want it to always be the clear answer.
  • [With realm restarts] Wrathful Minion now increases the damage of Grimoire of Sacrifice by 10% (was 15%).
  • [With realm restarts] Demonic Inspiration now increases the damage of Grimoire of Sacrifice by 10% (was 15%).
  • [With realm restarts] Grimoire of Sacrifice damage reduced by 15%.
  • Affliction
    • Developers’ note: With the removal of less impactful talents in both their class and specialization trees, Affliction received a lot of additional damage options that have increased their damage beyond what was intended. We’re making these adjustments to bring them in line with other damage dealers.
    • [With realm restarts] Damage done by spells and abilities reduced by 2%.
    • [With realm restarts] Darkglare damage reduced by 20%.
  • Demonology
    • Developers’ note: We’re targeting Demonology’s multi-target profile with these adjustments to bring them closer to other damage dealers. We will continue to watch both single-target and multi-target performance, along with the output of new talents and adjustments delivered in 10.0.7, and make further adjustments down the road if needed.
    • [With realm restarts] Demonic Strength now increases the damage of Felstorm by 300% (was 400%). This does not affect PvP combat.
    • [With realm restarts] Dreadbite damage reduced by 10%. This does not affect PvP combat.
