New PVP/PVE updated tuning posted!

Class Tuning Incoming – August 12

Today, we’ve added the following changes to the full list of changes that will be implemented with weekly maintenance in each region: Demon Hunter Havoc All ability damage increased by 5%. Does not apply to PvP combat. Death Knight Frost Obliterate damage reduced by 5%. Rider of the Apocalypse: Mawsworn Menace now increases the damage of Obliterate by 5% (was 10%). Rider of the Apocalypse: Hollow Sentinel’s Wake 2-piece now increases Trollbane’s Obliterate damage by 15% (was 35%). Deat…

Looks like it will be these two sets of notes combined:

Class Tuning Incoming – August 12 - Blue Tracker

[Exalter-malganis (Exalter)]

Oh yeah, there’s the Frost DK nerfs we’ve all been waiting for.

[Kennie-malganis]

Enh buffs, DK nerfs, Demo nerfs.

Woot.

[Failedwizard-frostmourne (Failedwizard)]

Feral buffs

[Demoniclily-kiljaeden (Demoniclily)]

• Demonology
  • Wild Imp damage reduced by 20%.
  • Immutable Hatred damage reduced by 30%.

Demo is dead there’s no hope.

[Exalter-malganis (Exalter)]

I fotm rerolled 3 times in my mind before I finished reading these patch notes.

[Viquora-tichondrius]

i dont get it bro

[Gorkis-defias-pillager]

Blizz really just decided only ret deserved to be broken post rework

[Fastblast-moon-guard]

So they’re reversing Feral’s 8% buff in PvP… and now they just added more PvE Feral buffs that are not excluded from PvP?

Also still zero Outlaw changes, hype

idk how youre surprised outlaw rogue is the master of dodging nerfs next to warrior and hunter

[Fastblast-moon-guard]

Outlaw has been in the gutter since they nerfed the entire premise of the class midway through last season, not sure what you’re talking about lol

[Exalter-malganis (Exalter)]

Every time I’m told Outlaw is bad I end up seeing it spam played in AWC.

man if only there was a trend.

[Skarznit-wyrmrest-accord]

So they are double nerfing demo? That’s a little steep. It was definitely strong, but not that strong. Losing a decent tier too.

[Skarznit-wyrmrest-accord]

Not sure why they didn’t just do this after seeing what the 5% overall nerf did.

[ßígdám-stormrage]

Why can’t blizzard just buff frost shock by 15-30%. At least they did 3/4 of what I would like buffed (lash/surging bolt/ele blast)

[Darkjim-illidan]

75% for Blizzard may as well be a perfect score on the SATs.

[Shocklesner-zuljin]

Probably cause the raiders don’t use frost shock and Enh is in dog water in pve right now so they bandaid what pve stuff they do use. Apparently the 4 set for totemic is riddled with bugs right now too.

[Christtel-stormrage]

Forst shock and ice strike are not fun to press

The vfx is trash, the sound even worse and the damage forgettable. Its snare is bad too. If they want the pvp enh shamans to use the frost spells they need to

1. Do a better work with tuning
2. In corporate frost damage interactions in the tree with talents we take by default (or add them to other interactions like imagine if volcanic surge had the icestrike stuff baked into it)
   So yea frost stuff sucks for enh it needs more work. Enh has good people working on it, its giga fun in pve.

[Favexz-stormrage]

@Failedwizard-frostmourne

Feral buffs

• Sabertooth causes Ferocious Bite to increase damage taken from your bleeds and other periodic effects by 6% per combo point (was 5%).

sadly only for pve, they changed the pvp base value, so it is still 15% in pvp combat but 30% in pve.

but everything else is nice to have
