The (up to) 50% health increase in Battlegrounds has been removed.
The global Damage Reduction to spells in PvP has been increased to 50% Physical/60% Magic reductions (was 25% Physical/40% Magic reductions).
Developers’ notes: Players should now have 50% more effective health in PvP against both Physical and Magical damage in the open world, and PvP in Battlegrounds should feel unchanged.
The physical damage reduction was 30%, not 25%. So either the old blue post is wrong, or you have to redo your math. Can you guys please put a little bit more effort on PvP?No new pvp events and no pvp gears for phases and yet you have some pvp update like this?
Aren’t you aware resto druid and resto shaman (espeically shaman) are already unkillable in BG. Instead of balance the healing classes (nerf shaman and druid or buff holy pally, mage and priest), you just buff all the healing classes by cutting all damages, which is rediculous and lazy.
Please, give us pvpers a little bit of love.
You don’t need to do any reducing of anything. Damage was fine at 30/40% all we needed was some better food. Some better PvP gear, and some buffs to underperforming classes. And ta da BALANCE. but nah TANKY hybrid LOL DO 0 DAM meta is clearly the way.
Yeah kill shot is still being spammed bud and BUMs are still dying. Taking less damage doesn’t make you better at the game…
If all you got was 2 shot before the update you were prolly never good at pvp to begin with.
Shaman is already one of the most tanky classes in the game. Now you take even less damage. Your healing has not been affected at all. You can now heal through damage more easily as you are taking 20% less of that damage. You also don’t go oom since you are a shaman. Effectively giving you the best sustain in the game… What is so hard to understand? How do people not understand this?
How did this change benefit underperforming classes? Let’s see ENH still does 0 dam still worthless. Fire/arc mage doing even less dam than before, still going oom. Destro lock still doing no dam still no where to be seen…
Meanwhile skeying BUM tanks and healers think they are good because it takes forever to kill them… boaring.
You are so dumb its not even funny. You need to stay “Tank Shamans” when you say Shamans will be tankier… how the hell are we getting heals off? are the other players not playing?
No I don’t Because every non ENH dps shaman is TANKY. Resto sham? tanky AF. Ele sham tanky AF.
Can you not cast riptide? does earth shield not work? Does NS not exist? Are you never in a situation where you can cast a heal? You don’t have grenades? You can’t stun people with wolves? And you want to say I am dumb? lmao
