Season of Discovery Hotfixes - 17 December

coming from the shaman otp. clap clap clap, anything else?

both not OP as Hardiness and WoTF.

lol, imagine orcs having a useless racial that would be so devastating to your pvp “skill” (you have none btw).

anything but stun duration :rofl:

personal opinion nice one, dont generalize it again. at least its more consistent then getting stunresisted rite :rofl:

better than being that shaman main that relies on racials to carry his games rather than skill.

have you played PvP recently? cannot tell because this is just a troll tbh.
it’s merciless on hpals, being a ST healer isn’t doing them any favors, but AoE healers just clown around and get value whilst being braindead to play aslong you can position urself correctly, whilst having better defensives than a bubble and bop (dispels btw). not hard at all TBH.

What? It’s the other way around LMAO.

Poison can be dispelled by 3 out of 4 healing classes, it’s a nonissue.
MS hardly exists because a good majority of warriors going for Fury 2h.
The meta shifts from damage to tankiness and healing, mainly thanks to OP classes that can also use HP buffs to get unreasonably high HP as a hybrid as compared to a melee and have defensives to boost it even further.

better, because admitting it would be too hard for you and we both know it.

Good, you are a troll poster anyway, go touch some grass

Season of Discovery

  • Blackwing Lair

    • Applying at least 1 affix in Blackwing Lair will now add an additional item to the loot cache. This item will be one of your faction’s 8 class trinkets.
  • Druid

    • Feral damage 2-piece Tier 2.5 set bonus now increases Shred damage by 15% (was 20%).
    • Mangle (Bear) Threat modifier increased to 1.5x threat per damage (was 1.0x threat per damage).
    • Lacerate’s impact Threat modifier decreased to 3.33x threat per damage (was 3.5x threat per damage).
    • Lacerate’s damage over time Threat modifier decreased to 3.33x threat per damage (was 3.5x threat per damage).
      • Developers’ notes: The threat changes are intended to assist in snap threat for Tank Druids, giving more value to using Berserk on the opening of a fight while retaining the value in stacking a lacerate.
    • The following Balance Druid updates were implemented on November 19, 2024:
      • Improved Frenzied Regeneration can no longer be used in Moonkin Form
      • Survival Instincts can no longer be used in Moonkin Form
      • Dreamstate’s increase to Nature and Arcane damage taken, can no longer be applied to players.
      • Developers’ notes: These changes are targeted at Moonkin’s frustrations in PvP encounters. They will still have an option in these slots rune-wise for PvP, albeit way less durable or bursty, in the form of Elune’s Fire. Dreamstate will still provide the mana regeneration in PvP. This also made room for the talent adjustments made recently to buff up Improved Moonfire and Moonfury.
  • Hunter

    • Ranged Hunter Tier 2.5 2-set bonus is now a 20% increase to Kill Shot damage against non-player-controlled targets.
    • Swapping to the Kill Shot rune will now correctly place it on a 12 second cooldown (was 15 seconds), adjusted for its new base cooldown.
    • Swapping off of the Kill Shot rune will now place Flanking Strike on a 12 second cooldown, and prevent the stacking of Sniper Training for 12 seconds as well.
    • Hunter Pets will now benefit from equipped gear on the Hunter that reduces the chance to be dodged or parried.
    • Swapping Rapid Killing to Lock and Load now prevents the use of Lock and Load for 60 seconds.
  • Mage

    • The cooldown of Cold Snap has been reduced to 5 minutes (was 10 minutes).
    • Fire Mage Tier 2.5 4-piece bonus decreased to 15% (was 20%).
    • Fire Mage Ruins of Ahn’Qiraji 3-piece set bonus decreased to 15% (was 20%).
    • Living Bomb now has an additional line of text that reads: “Living Bomb benefits from all talents and effects that trigger from or modify Scorch” allowing ticks of Living Bomb and the Explosion to apply Fire Vulnerability if talented.
  • Paladin

    • Tier 2.5 Holy Paladin set 4-set bonus has been updated – Your heals on your Beacon of Light target also heal the nearest friendly injured target for 90% as much (was 30%).

hunt nerf in pvp where ?

Its sceduled to happen when mages get buffs

either the best thing ever or i’ll see so many useless rogue, warrior and hunter trinkets…

Elune’s fire in PVP ? LOL …:sweat_smile:

Sorry but there is no option in these slots rune-wise other than imp frenzied regen for PvP and it is nearly useless for moonkins right now !

1: Give dreamstate %20 pvp damage back , and reduce starfall damage and cooldown %30.
2:Make imp frenzied regen usable in moonkin form , but reduce its mana cost, healing amount and cooldown by %50 .

Thats it.

if starfall doesnt do any spell pushback then any buff is fine, but with spell pushback it isnt.

ehl oh ehl.

boomkin nerfs are justified and called for.

as a matter of fact, they need more nerfs.
starfall is a problem, and it needs a nerf.

remove spell pushback and its ability to proc the arcane damage rng stun.

      • Developers’ notes: This is to allow Warlocks who are using Curse of Agony to have a window where they can let their Curse of Agony fully fade, and not lose the raid’s Mark of Chaos debuff before they reapply it. This will eliminate the need to clip the end of a Curse of Agony in order to benefit the raid.

nerfing lava lash for absolutely no reason, lol.
as if enhancement wasn’t bad enough already.

also seems rather out of touch to buff boomkin.

where are the paladin nerfs btw.

When is burn getting adjusted like boomie rune? 60% of their damage output from 1 button, Hold w key and press button every 6 seconds, Its the most braindead ape gameplay and it does the MOST damage, basically playing a tank with enough pad damage as a full dps dot class. every other pre made is 6+ shamans for a reason. Its full retard proof again. Insane mitigation, Insane pad damage, Insane health pool. Could teach a monkey to play the class and reward it with peanuts and it would be as good as 99% of the shaman players in BG’s right now. Half of them back pedalling and having back turned against people while running the whole time even though they have a shield on. Its disgusting. Its the most noob friendly class i think wow has ever had for pvp at this point. Run warden spec, Press flame shock, profit. Either remove burn buff from PvP, Nerf it spreading to 6 targets, or nerf its damage in pvp period. Make them have to actually press other buttons to make up their damage profile and not just flame shock. Go look at ANY battleground with shamans in and look at their damage breakdown/output. it is only flame shock. from every single one of them doesn’t matter the spec. Only flameshock.

How can you see Boomie as an outlier and just ignore shaman yet again. Its a running theme every single phase at this point. Keep buffing the most dumbest abilities with the most one dimensional gameplay to being broken, don’t fix it for months. Wonder why pvp dies after ranking is over.

When is hunter getting modifier that applies to pvp to stop them having also braindead ape gameplay. Throw trap into space, cool i got a reset, no deadzone on killshot cool i can use execute at 50% hp x2.
Don’t even need to show any skill expression anymore whiff trap, global someone. Sick gameplay.

Fix this :poop: before it goes on for months. You have the tech to add one line of code to NOT APPLY TO PLAYERS IN PVP COMBAT and problem solved no more retardedly broken rune abilities scaling out of control with 0 thought process going behind it. Don’t even need to care about positioning cause all play the dumb asf tank spec. Just W key press flameshock keybind, kekw

December 10, 2024

Season of Discovery

    • Huhuran’s berserk should now correctly clear after she resets.

    • Increased the health of many of the creatures inside the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj.
  • Druid
    • Fixed an issue where Druids were able to use Shred from in front of a target if they were very close to the target. It now properly always requires behind (unless they have the Season of Discovery set bonus that removes this restriction).
