Weird that they nerfed sniper shot 25% by changing it from 20%hp to 15%hp, but still haven’t removed it from the mm hunter hidden passive that amps its damage by 22%.

So instead of actually tuning specs they just give damage to specs that don’t need it.

Boring.

Dk’s are pretty much paper in dampening so yea they either need damage or survivability. This should do the job

Why don’t they just give MM hunters an MG42 and BFG9000 at this rate?

These were already nerfed by 50% in PVP. I wonder if the PVP values will remain the same or be 50% of the new values. I suspect they may just remain the same and this is just a PVE change.

I think they woulda specified PvE only

14
  • Affliction

    • Doom Blossom damage increased by 10%.

    • Vile Taint damage increased by 25%.

    • Soul Flame damage increased by 20%.

    • Soul Rot damage increased by 5%.

Guessing none of this matters since its not listed under the pvp changes right?

15

If it doesn’t specifically list “does not affect pvp combat” then it carries over.

How the actual hell are boomkins coming out of a round of tuning stronger than they currently are.

Changes are across the board unless otherwise noted. It’s basically always been like that.

17

The things you listed were pve changes that will have almost no impact in pvp (DK ones, are likely relevant).

Moonkin aura got nerfed from 12% team crit to 6% which is a substantial throughput nerf… however, i think EVERYONE wouldve rather seen a cyclone nerf than another MA one.

No one plays vile taint and soul flame doesn’t matter, neither does blossom. Soul Rot by 5% is cool though

19

The 4 set for boomy is an 8 astral power discount and 20% damage increase in PVP. There is NO SHOT that they decided to both revert the PVP nerf and buff it to 30 astral discount and increase damage to 60% in PVP.

20

The pvp tier bonuses just have pvp modifiers on them(most .5), if they buff the pve values then the pvp value is most likely just going to be half of that which is still an increase to both cost reduction and damage bonus.

Chances are it’s going to be 15 reduction and 30% dmg boost in pvp after these changes.
