Windfury Weapon pvp Modifier removed/Bugged with 11.0.5 Enh Sham

PVP Arenas
1

Before 11.0.5 I was doing 75k Windfury Weapon Damage on average (Looking at my old details prior to Tuesday)

Currently, I’m doing 37k Windfury Weapon Damage on average (There were 0 changes in the patch notes about this for PVP or PVE)

I believe somehow the 60% pvp modifier was lost with the new patch

Still shows 1.6 multiplier. You’re losing a bonus of 100% though if you’re going from 75k to 37k. Probably more to it than the pvp modifier, like maybe it’s swinging based off offhand or something.

Windfury Weapon is a main-hand attack, not an offhand attack that link there might be to an old spell ID as it’s uncategorized. I would assume it’s using this spell id which has a PVP modifier of 1x https://www.wowhead.com/spell=33757/windfury-weapon#modified-by.

Also when I get in PVP combat the tooltip for the damage amount of windfury weapon no longer changes they definitely messed up with 11.0.5 and removed the modifier by mistake somehow

This doesn’t really mean much. Talents can use scripts or auras to trigger other spell effects to handle other aspects of the spell such as damage application. These secondary spell effects are generally uncategorized.

This is the only other windfury attack and it lacks a pvp multiplier. Wowhead shows a change on 11.0.5, but going through simc git commits to see what exactly changed is hard on mobile so I’ll see if I can check when I get home.

To continue what I started earlier, this is the windfury attack on October 16th.

Name             : Windfury Attack (id=25504) [Spell Family (11)] 
Effects          :
#1 (id=15497)    : School Damage (2): physical
                   Base Value: 0 | Scaled Value: 0 (delta=0.05) | AP Coefficient: 0.3105 | PvP Coefficient: 1.6 | Target: Enemy (6)

This is the same on October 20th when simc merged the 11.0.5 ptr branch live. This block still matches the current spell data branch, so the pvp multiplier seems to have been erroneously removed.

Name             : Windfury Attack (id=25504) [Spell Family (11)] 
Effects          :
#1 (id=15497)    : School Damage (2): physical
                   Base Value: 0 | Scaled Value: 0 (delta=0.05) | AP Coefficient: 0.3105 | Target: Enemy (6)

Looking at the ptr spelldata history shows that the hotfix to windfury weapon on september 3rd was never pushed to ptr.

One thing they changed going from 11.0.2 to 11.0.5 was removing pvp coefficient text from spelldata if the coefficient was 1.0. So not seeing a pvp coefficient in the live data means its basically 1.0 now instead of 1.6.
