Pvp tuning hotfixes

Kitanana-sargeras · January 10, 2019, 6:43pm

From the classs and stuff forums

We’re currently working on some targeted adjustments to three specs in PvP. We don’t have a precise time these will go live, but we’re estimating late today or perhaps tomorrow afternoon:

Monk

Mistweaver

Surging Mist (PvP Talent) mana cost increased to 3.8% of base mana (was 2% of base mana), and healing reduced by 20%.

Way of the Crane (PvP Talent) increases physical damage by 25% (was 35%), and now heals for 150% of damage dealt (was 200%).

Shaman

Elemental

Earth Shock damage reduced by 10% when engaged in combat with enemy players.

Stormbringer increases Lightning Bolt damage by 115% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 125%).

Surge of Power can now cause up to an additional 2 Lightning Bolt overloads against enemy players (was 3 additional overloads).

Druid

Balance

Celestial Alignment increases damage of your spells by 10% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 15%).

Incarnation: Chosen of Elune increases damage of your spells by 18% when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 25%).

Shooting Stars now generates 2 Astral Power when engaged in combat with enemy players (was 4 Astral Power).

Our goal is to get these adjustments made before the weekend, and when they go live, we’ll confirm here in this thread, on @Warcraftdevs , and in the next updated to our Hotfixes blog post

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good first cut. We’ll see whether that’s enough to fully balance mistweavers in arenas.

Elemental got nerfed.

Monks will still be strong with monk bubble every 40 seconds or whatever it is. On my monk I felt like it was ridiculous how much I could spam surging mist on a target and never oom. Hopefully it fixes that at least.

Pretty good fixes honestly. Pretty tempered which I like. How it got to live as is pre nerfs was ridiculous. Also how these took so long, pretty ridiculous.

Yea surging mist will still be really good. They have great honor talents though so it may not be mandatory now…

Short bubble is okay. It’s not a wall like iron bark so it’s actually kinda easy to kill through I find.

I’m okay with a of them being strong, just tired of them being god tier.

I’m just sick of seeing so many mw teams.

They can heal through so much burst it’s just ridiculous.

Aye agreed… Hopefully this helps. I’m glad they’re not gutting the spec though. It’s more fun for everyone when there are options.

What annoys me is this got to live and then it took them this long to fix. Pretty dumb.
