Tuning Changes for June 9

PVP Arenas
1

We’re working on a set of PvP tuning changes that will go live with scheduled weekly maintenance (early on June 9 in this region). This is what we’re currently testing:

Items

  • Corrupted Gladiator’s Spite can once again stack more quickly when multiple Corrupted Gladiator’s Spite trinkets are used against a target.
  • Void Portal summoned by Corrupted Gladiator’s Breach is now slightly larger and easier to interact with when there are nearby units.

Corruption Effects

  • Versatile’s effectiveness has been reduced by 33% when engaged in combat with enemy players.

Azerite Essences

  • Reaping Flames (Major – Rank 3) no longer activates on player-controlled targets such as pets, totems, or guardians.
  • Resolved an issue that prevented Conflict and Strife (Major – Rank 2) effect from providing additional defensive benefit from versatility under the effects of certain class stuns.

Monk

  • Mistweaver
    • Chrysalis (PvP Talent) now reduces the cooldown of Life Cocoon by 25 seconds (was 45 seconds).

So back to gushing stacking? Its nice to spend days on farming echoes…for versa amps that will be …useless :rofl:
Am glad they always delay these changes to make players more pissed.

Mw nerf is welcomed tho.
Also where is destro nerf? …always half way…usual.

Bye bye PVP, thanks for taking away the last semblence of a pvp stat

is there any reason everyone wont just stack gushing now?

There is no point in playing PvP after these changes.

Gushing is back, Rogue-Mage is back, Warlocks will kill you much easier, Reaping Flames won’t activate on pet kills and totem kills which means OP UH DK.

Disgusting, I’ll reach 2.1k in a few days then never step into arena again this season.

They must not touch Versatility until the end of season or nerf Rogues-Mages-Warlocks-UH DKs and Gushing all together with it. This is a terrible step, what are they even thinking.

Could they not.

CB is basically instant cast now, vers was the only thing that even remotely gave you a chance.

I really hope they reconsider the changes to vers in pvp, or severely nerf destro, how can they see resets on reaping flames as somehow a problem meanwhile lock is standing mid map just tanking damage and instant casting 1/2 health bar CBS??

So best way to get rid of corruptions in pvp is to always start stacking next best corruption after nerf?

MW + Versa stacking was the only reason melee cleaves had a chance vs RMX and Destro Locks
