PvP Tuning Changes for June 9

PVP Arenas
1

We’re working on a set of PvP tuning changes that will go live with scheduled weekly maintenance (early on June 9 in this region). This is what we’re currently testing:

Items

  • Corrupted Gladiator’s Spite can once again stack more quickly when multiple Corrupted Gladiator’s Spite trinkets are used against a target.
  • Void Portal summoned by Corrupted Gladiator’s Breach is now slightly larger and easier to interact with when there are nearby units.

Corruption Effects

  • Versatile’s effectiveness has been reduced by 33% when engaged in combat with enemy players.

Azerite Essences

  • Reaping Flames (Major – Rank 3) no longer activates on player-controlled targets such as pets, totems, or guardians.
  • Resolved an issue that prevented Conflict and Strife (Major – Rank 2) effect from providing additional defensive benefit from versatility under the effects of certain class stuns.
  • Conflict and Strife now increases the defensive benefit of your Versatility by 50% while stunned (was 100%).

Monk

  • Mistweaver
    • Chrysalis (PvP Talent) now reduces the cooldown of Life Cocoon by 25 seconds (was 45 seconds).

As always, we’ll let you know if there are any further changes to be made, or adjustments to those above, and we’ll report the final live changes in our Hotfixes Update.

Thanks!

No lock nerfs? LOL.

And nerfing vers too. “Oh no, rogue isn’t as viable anymore! Ahhhh! Quick, someone help!” These devs are disgusting.

You mean you aren’t using LoS on those 0.7 second cast Chaos Bolts?

Chaos Bolt needs a mechanical rework for PvP.

The most broken Spec of all time escapes fixes. Destro is literally destroying all forms of PvP.

Well, I guess it’s back to stacking Gushing Wound now. What the hell is going on in Blizz’s HQ?

A 33% nerf does sound significant. I honestly wish the versatility nerf was only applied to the defensive side, and not a global application of damage and defense.

I personally still like versatility. It’s been my favorite stat in BfA.

I think the defensive portion of versatility should have been hit for both conflict and regular amounts of versatility honestly, instead of the versatile corruption itself but that’s just me

I think the MW change is nice and conflict bug being fixed too
