So finally Elemental is worse than 11.0.5

TLDR: When you log in on Tuesday/Wednesday, your character will be at least 10% weaker. If Blizzard actually fixes the Asc bug, your character will be 19% weaker. What about second breakfast LR nerf? This is a weird one. When looking at logs, LR was doing less and more than the intended 10% in a lot of cases. The logs I looked at had it at about 11-12% of the amount of Lightning damage, so this came out as roughly a 1.5% nerf. So adding all of those adjustments and fixes puts us at a 24% Single Target nerf roughly, since release”

You need to click on the “Elemental PTR rework” channel in that discord :slight_smile:

The bigger number is assuming they’re fixing the ascendance bug (which they’ve said they’ve fixed about 3x now but seemingly have failed to do so) and is including the hotfixes that they pushed mid week.

That said, Blizzard has reversed some of the nerfs in PVE because they realized they killed the spec super hard.

They reverted the main ascendance nerfs in PvE. They’re keeping the stormbringer hero spec nerfs.

I am curious how they’re going to handle the ascendance pvp modifier. It was +75% increased damage before (in PvE it’s +150% increased overload damage). The initial nerf moved it down to +25% increased overload damage because the PvE numbers went down from 150% → 100%.

I assume they keep it.

Considering they left it in the notes and scratched out the reverted pve nerfs, yes it’s going to be 25% in pvp combat.

Thanks!!! I only saw the image i linked sent around, not the full notes. Appreciate the full quote! :heart:

Wait. Now im unsure and it seems even lower:

“Updated for hotfixes”

They reverted a bunch of the other nerfs they had in there that was actually deleting ele from PVE.

The ascendance bug that’s causing people to explode in PVP is doing similar things in PVE. How much they get nerfed by depends on blizzard fixing that bug

Don’t even know how you all were crying. Literally watching Wizk on Pikas stream hitting back to back 2mil Earthshocks on people. Absolutely disgusting class.

Also sending 12 LavaB instantly at the target for 71k each followed by this massive Earth shocks. Literally killing people in a shockwave stun.

Oh and 1mil dmg Overload……y’all are such crybabies with one of the most broken specs in the game.

Cringe spec is still does disgusting damage.
