1 week left for enh

Classes Shaman
1

Next reset is the release of 11.0.5, and enh in ptr is as broken as it gets.

And what I mean broken:

  • There is a list of bugs that exists in ptr that need to be fixed until release in order for the spec to be playable.
  • Current tuning of new talents (DRE, flowing spirits, etc) is such that the playstyle is back to spamming ss and lb in order to proc DRE, while stacking random wolves through op tier set.
  • Currently it seems to be like 20% ahead of every other dps in the game in ptr.

So unless something changes in one week, we are gonna have a spec that is full of bugs, and overperforming by a HUGE margin.
This is a recipe for disaster, because the response will be of a nerf to bring us in line, and then down the line the bug fixes will just bring us even lower.

I hope that there is something in store until next week, otherwise prepare for a wild ride.

That would be great.
Thx.

“Deeply Rooted Elements chance to trigger reduced to 6% (was 7%) and now triggers on cast rather than on damage dealt.”

Guess blizz scared about stormflurry.

If blizz dont like it, just remove it and replace it.

It now triggers from spenders. The uptime is WAY higher than on live.

5

Ye i dont deny that since now more spells can trigger it.

Will see how it goes on live.

So actually it got reduced to 3%, and they will eventually make it trigger on maelstrom weapon stacks.
Latest PTR patch notes

  • Deeply Rooted Elements chance to trigger reduced to 3% (was 7%) and now triggers on cast rather than on damage dealt.
    • Developer’s note: In a future patch, we’re going to change this to be based on Maelstrom Weapon stacks spent rather than per cast of ability that consumes Maelstrom Weapon and readjust the proc rate.

Lol this is a joke for real? 3% is a joke.

Well thats how enha “buff” always goes…

Good on ptr, then nerfed to oblivion.

At this rate just remove dre, and make ascendance same as in mop (stormblast).

And which patch they change it?

Next year in 11.1?

Clowncompany. Guess few pure dps class and warriors cried about muh top dps spot.

Tbf that was a good change, because otherwise it would be one of the worst thing that happened to enh.

With this change enh is mostly unchanged in power (some specs are nerfed, some buffed), but many different specs are introduced.

If DRE was shipped as it was in ptr, then enh would be 20% ahead of everyone else and the spec would get nerfed to oblivion.

It’s better to have a single talent be nerfed, until they actually manage to balance it without breaking every other spect of enh.

Yup, noone on the right mind gonna pick that talent.

3% is like overpower in diablo 4, which never proc by default.

Retri having wings every 30 seconds and doing 3m dmg each pack in m+ seems good i guess.

We play with actual ascendance anyways. So this does change nothing. If it does, no hassle to remove a keybind for it.

In the past week things went crazy, so this problem was “fixed” by nerfing DRE to oblivion.

Problem is that they did not fix any of the bugs in ptr, and in fact introduced more. At the moment we are waiting to see what is the state of the spec.
