PTR Changes feature a lot of pvp adjustments

There are far too many to quote, but some highlights are a lot of honor talents are removed. Seems more damage oriented?

Tbh I like the direction, seems like reasonable changes. Blind having a damage thresh is trippy

Woah, another great post lol. I have not seen this either.

I think I agree on the direction. I like a lot of butons, though. Guess we’ll see!

Guess they don’t want random splash to break cc? Not sure how I feel about this change.

Instead of reducing the crap ton of AoE in the game, just increase the damage required to break CC instead…

Works I guess.

Also, poly is getting pretty yuge buffs with this along with the health regen nerf by 50%.

Works by making it so you have to think less about using your abilities?

I suppose I can’t draw conclusions just yet, but putting damage thresholds on all CC and increasing the amount of passive cleave dam sounds like a big L from a pvp standpoint. It sounds like we may as well just dps race on target dummies.

Lotta great sounding changes, excited to see how they play out!

Theyre going to set the damage thresh to about 30% of someones hp lmao. Rogues and mages got a HUGE buff. You can just beat up people in pily now without it breaking. RMP or RM comps are going to be s++++++++++++++++++ way above everyone else

??? We haven’t even seen the threshold yet, bro…

damn that consumable is crazy

it’s looking like healing will be way better balanced in season 2 than season 1, this could lead to relative shorter queue times

Always expect the worse with this company. Like with dflight fear 200% thresh they went “oops we forgot that existed haha”

Some of the changes and the general direction they intend to go w/them seems reasonable.

Shadowy duel being removed, temporal shield removed, alter being effected by dampening and healing reductions, Hpal getting spellwarding, etc. All great changes that have been requested for quite some time.

Blind damage threshold is something I don’t like the idea of, seems like a cheese way for Adelgabrie to 1 shot me w/whatever melee is cooked that ssn, but there must always be a lich king so.

Is it being removed as an honor talent and made baseline? Because the notes don’t read that way, nor does the spell change datamining.

That’d certainly be better. If it’s still a PvP talent, it’s a downgrade.

Nah you’re right it’s being made a passive honor talent, we don’t like that. Too much credit given to Blizzard.

Ehat consumable?

Not a fan of the cc changes with adding a damage threshold.

Just unnerf CC and have it break on any damage threshold.

Nerf micro CC.

I don’t like it either. Turning arena more and more like mythic+ never been more obvious.

The niche mechanics of running to your healer so aoe damage and like wise stopping someone from doing that will be missed.
