I was queueing on my prot paladin two weeks ago at 1792 and I haven’t been able to get any rating since the vers nerfs? Like what the heck! I have literally gone from being almost rival to back under 1400 because vers is gone, like what just a little 10-15% reduction to damage in arenas. It wasn’t even that strong.
Tanks shouldn’t be allowed in arenas anyways.

Maybe it is abom on an alt.

They didn’t nerf Vers the stat, they nerfed Versitile - the corruption effect - big difference.
12% Vers amp now acts as 8% when inside arena. Unless you had some ungodly amount of Vers on your gear+sockets it’s a negligable change, and likely one that isn’t causing you to tank 400 rating.

Because of how under represented Locks and RMX was. They were in desperate need of a buff.

I’m just glad spite throwing RMX is finally playable. They have had to be only A instead of S tier for about 2 weeks, which is just unfair. It’s fun to have to counterplay the never ending setups, insane sustained dmg, and the fact they are immortal gods. I’m glad they were able to shake the meta up with such a fun comp.

Just had to fix that up for you but more or less dead on.

It wasn’t and there wasn’t a good reason to nerf them…but…
Versa amps isn’t that good for Prot in PvP even before the nerf and after the nerf it’s probably the worst corruption. You should be Mastery stacking for block and attack power because that gives you more mitigation and dmg. It also means you can run AM traits for big wings and Soaring for more mastery.
Then you can run some gushing for sustain outside of wings. Mastery is the big play and feels really good because it hard counters a lot of annoyances.
Things you can block that are annoying
Gushing, brambles, thorns, poisons, thing from the beyond, all spell dots etc…
Not to mention every block does holy dmg and it will be one of your highest dmg abilities. Imagine blocking gushing and you do dmg to them for putting that dot on you. Yea it’s helpful.
Even Stunandbung switched to pure mastery amps and he is 2831 as Prot Pal.
I’d say soft cap is 45% mastery as you see the benefit with block. 70% base Mastery is the goal. At 160% Mastery you are block capped. (ultimate goal with wings/seraphim up)
9% Mastery amps are up now btw…
