Now rain of fire has to full channel to get the effect from the lake of fire rune?? Blizzard you could buff the increased dmg to 100% and it would still be garbage. Having to full channel rof on a single traget raid is awful. Like what happens when you have to move for a mech lol i guess rip your dps. I know wah wah but damn what a awful change in blizzards part. This rune is now just dead, we dont even full channel rof for aoe lmao. All i can say is wtf blizzard wtf.
Again i know wah wah me
Lmao. Do you think imp sbolt will see action p3 with the LoF nerf? Talk of the town on spriest forum.
I doubt it honestly, aff needs a lot more love than just DoT crit to see use over destro. Even UA can help demo more than Aff with Felguard.
Who knows, personally i hope not i dont wanna play aff so i hope not lol. But either way having to full channel rof is a laughably stupid change and blizzard really needs to rethink how they wanna balance locks
It’s a big destro nerf, but you can presently parse purple with 10% crit to chest rather than LoF.
Oh def ill be running that, hopefully we get like backlash or a way to reset the cool down of CB faster.
The problem with flat crit runes is that you will be softcapped later on. The second issue with this is that it probably relegates destro to sac builds.
Something had to be done about Lake of Fire, but this feels like a really weird change.
Who’s even gonna use Lake of Fire now? Normally you don’t need to ever AoE that long.
So basically what we will be forced to do is use lake of fire rune pre boss every time
Yeah, to get any benefit. But if the boss fight is longer than a minute then I don’t see the point.
You are cheesing a rune effect that wasn’t ment to be used that way to boost your dps. It could be implemented in a normal way, like a cooldown you could use every x seconds like everyone else. And it seems Blizzard saw that it was being used in an unintended way and changed it.
How so the buff only last 15s seconds. I guess the super try hards will find a way for it to work to get the buff for the beginning of the fight but thats a lot of work for almost nothing
where did you get this news?
The current mechanics for Lake of Fire are definitely degenerate. However, this change if it goes through is just trash. If they want the rune to be used for AoE, just make the damage modifier instant and affect only Rain of Fire and Hellfire. Having to channel a full Rain of Fire to get the effect is horrible if mobs need to be moved.
It was datamined
Wowhead has a bunch of class and rune changes coming for p3
If the fight lasts less than 30 seconds. Otherwise until softcap crit you’re better off running 10% crit rune
And that’s their solution, after seeing it for two phases…
Or if you need to move too. Its a terrible change and makes the rune useless.
Agreed. Don’t think killing it was the answer. I didn’t use it either way because I refused to play like that.
Play like what its bascially a dot right now lmao press it and do 40% more dmg
