The War Within Hotfixes - October 3

I tried healing on resto… it was tunneled on every PVP possible game mode and still died with pally seals and rogue smoke clouds. R Druid is to healing what demo and BM is to dps (in pvp)

I think this is the 3rd time in the last 30 days that an update takes 5-6 hours.
I think we should all get a free day every month for not being able to play the game for hours at a time.

Fury warrior being at the bottom 5 DPS, gee I wonder why looking at Data sets from literally AOE fights and proceeding to nerf warriors even more makes the entire spec even worst.

anything about rogue stealth break bug fix?

Much appreciated.

Understandable, have a great day.

I’m gonna say that Blizzard doesn’t think it’s a bug, that it’s working as intended.

I’d love it if you took a minute and went back to evaluate your path to restoring items lost in the guild bank debacle. Maybe you could go find some more items to share with the guild masters to help restore their coffers. Maybe you could try another process instead of the one you did before that resulted in negligible, disappointing results.

A class that plays around being stealth and needs stealth for most of their abilities and openings randomly loses stealth constantly…

I guess sure your answer kinda sounds like something a dev would say here naturally…

I mean, they had plenty of people all saying the same thing, and they had a couple of months since beta and the ptr to fix it, yet all rogues (and feral druids) get is radio silence.

When are you hotfixing your class “balance” changes you did to outlaw?

They finally nerfed this OP class. PVP is saved.

Ok so after playing with, take your pick or take them all.

It has too much health, it spawn to often, why does it have a negative effect right off the bat instead of if you don’t do the mechanic like the others?

Why is it that Wake of Ashe doesn’t have its CD reduce by the bonus it gives?

As it stand, you just made it a massive hindrance for Ret by buffing it.

Seal of Order also doesn’t reduce the CD of Wake of Ash since the start of TWW, why?
It was working in DF.

That’s confusingly specific, honestly.

I suspect it is the same reason why Seal of Order doesn’t give the 3 sec reduction it use to give.

Only 3 sec isn’t all that inconvenient while 15 is pretty infuriating when ES and Wake are supposed to be in synch.

Like the only thing it reduces is ES and DT at the moment.

Idk about vanilla wings, didn’t try it yet.

And the buff does nothing for ability that are already on CD, so you’re punished for popping them on the affix :rofl: :rofl:

An affix, mind you, that you’re incentivized to blast :crazy_face:

Wait…

Wake of Ashes received a buff?

No

The affix Voidbound gives you a buff that reduces your CDS by 50%.

It used to be 20% and they buffed it to 50% yesterday whilst also buffing the health of the affix by 133%.

The CD reduction doesn’t affect Wake ATM (wings by extension with Radiant Glory) which makes it a health buff on the affix with little to no reward for Ret specifically.
