March 29, 2024

Classes

  • Evoker
    • Preservation
      • Fixed an issue where Time of Need functioned incorrectly and could stop casting Living Flame when the Evoker had a high amount of Haste.

Mounts

  • Fixed a bug preventing players from seeing their properly earned Coralscale Salamanther upon login. The mount will be mailed to players who previously completed the Into the Storm

Plunderstorm

  • The Plunderlord’s Silver Cutlass weapon option should now be selectable from Da’kash Grimledger in Brew Bay for players at or above Renown 36.

    • Developers’ notes: The effective range of Earthbreaker has not been changed. This fix makes its visuals appear to be about the same size as the spell effect.

I’m apparently still missing my Pepe. Not sure which other rewards haven’t been granted, but Pepe still seems to be AWOL.

Oh… my… god…

(A) You are like months late with those nerfs to the raid.

(B) You are STILL not tuning the dungeons ! Its uber late now… but why did you wait months to do it? Why did M+ tuning coincidentally stop when MDI started? And when MDI ended, we all expected a mega-tuning bonanza and instead we got nothing… and Plunderstorm… Jesus ! Way to cut short S3 M+ OMG…

Will this continue in S4? Will we have to wait 1 week before WW to get the dungeon tuning in S4? With 500k runs per week you need months of data to tune stuff ? What is your beef here…

(C) Im so tired of seeing plunderstorm and SoD tuning all the time. You guys WANT me to play SoD or something? What is going on !

WHERE… IS… RETAIL… CLASS… TUNING…

S4 begins in 2 weeks you know?.. You cant seriously make me believe that class balance in M+ is perfect and no spec needs some adjustments… And not just some % adjustments… I mean full reworks…

And I don’t see any of that even in data-mined PTR for S4…

Or what? You gonna wait until WW to do some tuning?

What… is… going… on… people !

Okay for Fury what you should do is put the Mortal Strike and Cleave damage to 50% not 15%, Increase crit by 25% not 10%

And Crit strikes of said abilities buffs your damage by 40% for 6 seconds not 8% for 6 seconds

There fixed it
