They’re bringing the focus away from the burst and onto sustained more, and giving casters (both healers and dpsers) more freedom to be casting.

They’re pretty much making PvP more like PvE with those changes. They needed to make the game more enjoyable for healers, but not by making matches take longer, which is the mistake they’re making there.

This is what I said on June 14. 2020, so 3 years ago:

They are finally doing it.

I’d prefer playing PvP if that’s ok with you, but thanks.

27

I guess it’s m+ either against scripted dragons or players.

Clown changes.

Yah you just alrdy have Relentless for free on the most important CC.

CC is fine. Trinket bonus is fine, this is just stupid, longer more boring games its just gonna be a PvEfest with 6 orcs hitting each other for 1 hour.

I can see how someone can hate or like this changes, but at the end of the day fear wasn’t nerfed so warlock homies unite :sunglasses:.

  • and will probably cost 300k gold so you need to buy a token every now and then.
    good stuff
34

Many here are forgetting that stuff like Poly is already 6.8 duration with the trinkets, this reduces this just abit more, minus the blind changes, i’m happy they are still trying todo major changes, not like PvP is flawless right now, for now, lets wait and see how it plays out instead of doomsaying

Stun is still safe way to put a trap from 40 yards getting trained. Diamond ice is the lowest mmr shenanigan, it has no play in competitive pvp at all, especially in more dampen meta and if it keeps lower duration

37

5sec and regular drop to 6sec but dont break from dmg and prevents heals

i was in lobby on my honor gear bm where arms break my trap 5x, destro 1x, ww 4x and all of my traps was on healer somewhere far from the kill targets :slight_smile:

also i saw bicmex alrdy doing some bola testing on ptr with diamond it could be ok

THANKS YOU BLIZZARD :yum:

how they change it? i hope they nerf cos it would be ridiculous to these

This isn’t really a big nerf is it?
We had 15% cc reduction on everything with belt/trinket. The CC that got hit the hardest is a 25% nerf, so only 10%?

Before these changes a stormbolt would hit you for 3,4 seconds, now it’s 3 seconds. And that is the biggest nerfs.

Blind nerf is big, but it was broken.
Besides that rogues garrote silence AND cheap shot remains untouched so they kinda got buffed.
Kidney shot is literally the same duration as before (2% nerf at max combo points), so rogues shouldn’t cry. Not being able to blind into sap feels more like a bug fix than anything else.

What gives me the biggest headache is that they still refuse to disable racials in rated pvp.
There will be orcs everywhere…

Last thing, instead of reducing damage PLEASE remove dampening. It is meta defining, and is ruining every spec that uses healing as defensives. Give healers less mana if games go on for too long.

I predict exacly one million orc disc priest next season. Gg.
