These were my stats when the rework happened on PTR. I posted my previous stats in full conquest gear on ptr and my stats after the rework.

“I ended up trying it out after work. Before the change I had 41% mastery. After the change it shows 16.8% more dmg and 56% chance to overload and the overloads do 35% dmg with talents vs 100%.”

I logged in this morning to test things and now it is 12.1% more dmg and 40.4% overload chance.

Ele got gutted.

Just tried a solo shuffle going full burst meaning using volcanic surge (lvb no longer instant and deals 45% more dmg) and using my full burst which includes frost shock (20% more dmg) prim wave (so procs totem of wrath for 15% more crit dmg) and pvp trinket (9,540 int). My lava burst hit for a max of 756k with them averaging 364k. While those numbers may sound high, people have close to 8mil hp.

EDIT - Previously had my stats without hitting pvp target dummy to get pvp stats.

Reaffirms my decision to move away from mastery and focus on haste/crit for my Lightning build in TWW. Outside of this change they’ve buffed everything else I plan to use in my build.

It’s sorta annoying this change to mastery wasn’t disclosed though.

There is not lightning build at the moment that is viable.

Well I’ve been playing one since pre-patch and it’s going quite well for me. I’ve actually put effort into it instead of theory-crafting. Is the out of balance fireball build that goes with tier set? No not at all but that’s going to be short lived anyway.

Playing my current build I’m always competitive with my damage or higher than everyone else. You certainly don’t have to believe me but it’s true.
