PVP Arenas

Player versus Player

  • Resolved an issue that could prevent Concentrated Flame (Essence) from being cast on enemy players in Arenas, Rated Battlegrounds, and free-for-all PvP areas.
  • Demon Hunter
    • Havoc
      • Burning Soul’s absorption shield reduced to 25% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 50%).
  • Priest
    • Twist Magic’s healing reduced to 25% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 50%).
  • Shaman
    • Pack Spirit’s healing reduced to 25% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 50%).
  • Developers’ note: These can have a much higher uptime in PvP combat compared to the rest of the game resulting in a larger than intended amount of healing. As a result, we’re further reducing their effect in PvP. These changes were intended to be included in the Rise of Azshara content update notes and have been live since its release.
  • ​ Warlock
    • Crashing Chaos (Azerite Trait) updated. It now additionally lowers the cooldown of Summon Infernal by 15 seconds, and its damage increase has been reduced by 33%.

Should have just pulled the trigger and nerfed all of the passive heals/absorbs for every spec/azerite trait/PvE gear piece. There’s a new trait that aborbs like 60k when you fall below 40k health lol plus all the raid gear with absorbs/effects. This season may be even slower than S2.

I know the pack spirit one was in place for a while but I wonder when the burning soul one was in, because that was still doing insane effective healing last night when I played lol

5

6

Passive stuff getting nerfed is good. Bring on more of it

7

Ya that’s crazy then, trill still felt unkillable when I fought him yesterday

wtf is twist magic? is this a disc nerf? it sounds like a disc nerf.

Edit: It’s the dispel heal…

…??? That’s so random. Does its heal scale based on how many debuffs were removed or something? why would that need tuning?

12

not a disc nerf. shadow priests were the ones stacking it and spam purging.

o. ive never tried shadow. is it that efficient of a heal? guess it is if they were doing it.

14

It was burning soul for shadow priests.

All of this makes sense but only if Mage self healing as a package and 3 x cauterizing blink are also toned down.

15

You heal when you press Purge. Vilaye was using it to be more tanky against rdruids since he can spam Purge and heal.

16

Yeah I understand how it works, I just didn’t think anyone ever took that talent.

17

Its a defensive azerite trait.

18

Oh. LOL. This whole time i’ve been thinking of the pvp talent for disc, that gives a 5% abosrb. I need coffee.

19

It made the class more tankiness, but you sacrificed dmg since you couldnt get bis dmg azerite traits.

20

Isn’t it an inner ring trait? What would people take over it for shadow? I’ve never had the luxury of picking traits i wanted on my priest lol, unplayed alt this expansion :frowning:
