What will the patch notes be?

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

Will it be ‘fixing’ pvp again?

The vaunted shaman nerfs?

Or absolutely nothing?

2

Unless they’re buff/fixing shaman tanks, the class is gonna get left alone at this point. They also might do literally nothing.

Something related to hunters, shamans and maybe tanks. They should make mutilate 60 energy again and make it work with the rune that reduces energy of backstab/ambush. I would love for them to say overgrowth deck works with vampiric embrace.

We probably won’t hear much until tomorrow. This board’s bugaboos made certain of that. Riots are fun but you SoD folks take social media riots to the next level. Thankfully there are not to many streamers feeding you folks propaganda right now, so maybe they will start giving us a proactive look at the notes again.

We should all behave ourselves so daddy blue takes us out for ice cream

Nothing. There may be some minor tweaks that would take one designer about 15 minutes to come up with and implement that at most change a few percents on something.

All their workforce is stuck fixing the fiery hellhole that was cata’s beta launch. SoD is more or less abandoned for the time being. Enjoy raid logging ST once a week.

next week we will try 30% melee reduction, 20% magic reduction, and 10% heal reduction for pvp lab rat test…

Modifications to Mental Dexterity and Burn Runes:

  1. Disables Ret Paladin Utility within 40m
    Exceptions: Divine Shield, Lay on Hands, Hand of Justice
  2. Automatically associates any alliance PvP/BG loss with Shaman.
    Example: Gnome Warlock gets eaten by a rogue spamming Mutilate- NERF SHAMAN thread required.

It’s already in game, they just haven’t blue-posted the changes.

new Shaman rune discovered, Rune of Gaslight.

Summons the same 5 ancestral spirits to defend against the entire community calling for nerfs. Grants immunity from class power reduction. Lasts 3+ months. 0 mana cost.

Absolutely nothing.

Remember when there were 400,000 Ret Paladins parses in Phase 1 compared to 140,000 total Shaman DPS parses and they were destroying everything in PvP with their full wrath rotation while sliding under the radar due to Starsurge?

I remember.

(Now they’re clapping people with 1000 point Seals of Command crits among the barrage- and still hiding behind the ret noobs in the forums.)

And the funny thing is, there STILL isn’t a large disparity in parses between Shamans and Paladin. (158k Ret Paladin, and 158k Enhance Shaman)
When you add Shamans’s second DPS spec, then it goes to 200k DPS Shamans to 158k Ret Paladins.

12

This is needed

13

More paladin healers and tank parses. If you add em all up, there is pretty much equal representation in ST.

I tend to agree since Paladin tanks didn’t get the massive nerfbat Shammy tanks did, but I haven’t yet found a way to find just Prot paladin numbers.

(There’s 11k more Holies than Restos, but I have not figured out how to break tank parses down yet.)

EDIT: As soon as I posted it, I figured out a method… lol
62k Prot Pallies to 35k Tank Shammies…
27,000 more Prot Pally Parses than Tank Shaman

SO-
Looks like there’s:
306,164 Untouchable OP Shamans that are just unbeatable in every way.
298,776 Sad in Pants completely helpless and useless Paladins.

You can really see where all the Paladins just dropped everything and rerolled Shaman because they’re so much better.

15

I’m voting for absolutely nothing! :smiley:

16

I’m guessing there is going to be another round of fixes to dead runes that will continue to be dead runes because the alternatives are still vastly superior.

Expectations:

  • Mutilate damage nerf and another saber slash buff
  • Shadow priest/boomkin pvp nerfs
  • Shaman nerfs
  • Warrior adjustments (pve nerf, pvp buff)
  • Frenzied regen nerf
  • Homunculi guard aggro bug patched
  • Lower price of blood moon honor commendations.

Reality:

  • Fixed a typo with some random npc out in desolace
  • Nerfed sunken temple again so that the raid is more faceroll than bfd
  • Some random bug fix with arcane mages that probably didn’t make a difference

P4 paladin rune datamined. Rune of Holy Copium.

19

Rune of Extended Bubble

20

They won’t do it, but I want “Rune of Super Purge”
Purges 3 Buffs off of Target, any buff, including poisons on weapons and Divine Shield…

It would nuke SoD by the optics, but oh my would that be a pretty mushroom cloud in the forums.
