So outside arena my eviscirate tooltip says it does 20k damage but when i enter arena it only says 15k damage. Blizz, bro, whats going on?
The tooltip is updated depending on where you are and what gear you equip (i.e. what stats you have). And they do PvP tuning on specific abilities which only affects you when you’re doing PvP. That’s what the tooltip is reacting to.
It’s something they started doing in… I think it was with Legion they rolled all of this out. Not entirely sure though.

So does everyone get weaker when in pvp combat?
No, it depends entirely on the PvP tuning. You can check mmo-champion and go through past hotfixes/patches to see what the PvP tuning looks like, but it’s not like it’s the same for everyone.
Or, you can check it in the bnet launcher if you click on Options up in the left corner, and then Patch Notes. And https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/news/22824893/hotfixes-february-20-2019 for hotfixes. But it’s easier to find older hotfixes on mmo-champion than it is on the WoW website.

Some things do less damage. Like sub finisher, feral druid finisher, balance druid burst, destro infernal stacking.
Traits are also cut by 50% in arenas.
Some like balance druid streaking stars are cut by like 80% and I think the tooltip does not show this.
Basically if you want to be sure, you have to test everything in the arena.
mastery for subtlety is nerfed in pvp, so your mastery percentage goes down and so does your eviscerate tooltip. it’s possible eviscerate itself is nerfed as well, wouldn’t surprise me seeing as prey on the weak, dark shadow, symbols of death and find weakness (so all of the modifiers) are also nerfed.
Lol this sucks. Do these changes only happen in arena or pvp combat in general?
pvp in general
Enjoy sub…
