Lol that frost mage buff in pvp. Frostbolt combimed with ice lance would hit like a truck.

Chaos bolt buff lol it already hits from 12k to 20k

No retri nerfs?

Frost dk nerfs? Why?

RMx again or MLx inc again, borring meta.
They dont even need to nerf warriors, frost and lock is enough for them to be crap.

so rogue mage holy, frost lock holy. Hahaha

Holy

  • Symbol of Hope has been redesigned – Bolster the morale of party or raid members within 40 yards. They each recover 60 seconds of cooldown on a major defensive ability, and they regain 12% of their missing mana over 5 seconds.

Lets massive buff S tier healer XDDDDDDDDD
/spit

I doubt it. The name implies that it’ll be related to Remorseless Winter, so I’m not holding out much hope.

Hope they’ll finally buff Death Strike at least.

I almost came when I saw:

Sacrolash’s Dark Strike (Runecarving Power) has been redesigned – Corruption damage is increased by 25% (was 15%), and each time Corruption deals damage, it extends the duration of all your Curses active on the target by 2 seconds (was Corrupted targets movement speed slowed by 50%).

That was pretty much the most obnoxious legendary in the game, very happy that it’s gone.

The mw port while stun seems insanely strong.

Anything about the gearing system ? Nobody is going to even bother with all this if they cant even play. Grinding BGs with half the hp of other players for weeks on end just to be viable isnt fun, And that only gets you the 197 stuff

It’s still a great trade off, considering you’ll be able to take another PvP talent. So that’s a 5% overall nerf in exchange for a new talent slot.

14

Yeah before reading I was 100% that I wouldn’t reach the end of the post without aknowledging a Death Sentence nerf in some shape or form… Turns out Blizz amazes me on ce again ! Not gonna complain tho

15

Thank you blizzard

I can live with that I guess, I’m just glad it isn’t another 40% on top of the 40% from the old PvP talent. And please, don’t remind me of BfA S4 Destro, still getting vietnam flashbacks…

HOLY CRAP

Warrior Covenant Specific Legendaries in Patch 9.1

  • Venthyr: Condemn extends the duration of Last Stand by 4 sec, Colossus Smash by 1.5 sec, Recklessness by 3 sec.

Lol condemn legendary

Seems all new legendaries are only covenant ability related, so not that surprising. Still funny though

That also looks totally busted
