虚空箭
via the tuning to

Patch 9.1 PTR Build 38312 Spell ChangesPatch 9.1 PTR Official Patch Notes
Our Guide Writers have given their thoughts on the Patch 9.1 PTR Class Changes for Build 38312. Check out their opinions below!

Fire Mage - Guide Writer ThoughtsPriest and Destruction Warlock - Guide Writer Thoughts
Discipline Priest
Talents (1)
灵魂护壳
For 10 sec, Penance, Power Word: Radiance, and Atonement create absorb shields for 80% of their value, instead of healing.
Cooldown changed from 1 min cooldown to 1.5 min cooldown
Discipline Priest Guide Writer Perspective
History repeats itself, this is especially true for Discipline who another nerf to
灵魂护壳
reminiscent of the nerf
福音
received in 8.1 increasing its cooldown. Now
灵魂护壳
goes from a 60 sec cooldown to 90 seconds and there is a lot of panic about what this will mean for the spec. It is well known how dominant
灵魂护壳
is for Castle Nathria and this is nerf follows the previous nerf of lower
救赎
to shielding rate in
灵魂护壳
from 100% to 80%. Despite that nerf,
灵魂护壳
continues to see heavy representation in raiding and I believe that this cooldown change will still see
灵魂护壳
on top as mass absorbs are extremely hard to balance "fairly".
As a result, I believe its likely that Disc will bounce between two ramps, one shielding and one healing thanks to the low cooldown of
控心术
which can be present for each of these. Instead of one
真言术:耀
charge to be used in between each
灵魂护壳
you could now use two and still have two available for
灵魂护壳
. Fight timers and mechanics of course can have an impact on this theory and will be something to look for as Sanctum raid testing progresses.
Discipline Priest Guide
Holy Priest
Specialization (1)
希望象征
Bolster the morale of all healers in your party or raid within 40 yards, restoring 2%raid members within 40 yds. They each recover 60 sec of cooldown of a major defensive ability, and regain 12% of their missing mana, immediately and every 1 sec for 5 sec.over 5 sec.
Holy Priest Guide Writer Perspective
希望象征
will now reduce personal defensive cooldowns in addition to granting mana return to all healers. The abilities from testing thusfar do not include immunities but rather defensives like
意气风发
or
镜像
. This is a solid buff to the spell but one that is very similar to the recent
神圣赞美诗
healing bonus. It increases Holy's utility but it has a much more significant effect in a 5 man environment rather than a raiding environment. While the utility is much needed, it is still too conservative of a move I fear to allow Holy to breakout into that upper-echelon of utility rich healers like Paladin/Shaman/Disc.
The cooldown reduction for tanks in particular is very powerful, especially in a dungeon environment where multiple uses of
希望象征
will be possible. I would like to see some damage reduction get rolled into the channel in lieu of the mana gains, so that the interests of both functions of the ability are more in line. While players are using their own personals, or have them on cooldown, symbol could reduce their damage taken for a given mechanic and swiftly bring their defensives back for the next wave.
Holy Priest Guide
Shadow Priest
Soulbind Conduits (1)
不谐回响
(Potency Conduit) Void Bolt deals 35% more damage.20% more damage.
While not in Void Form, dealing damage with Mind Flay has a 3.1% chance to allow you to cast Void Bolt.
While in Void Form, Void Bolt has a 3.1% chance to reset the cooldown on Void Bolt.
Shadow Priest Guide Writer Perspective
Changes which impact Shadow Priest PvE in 9.1:
不谐回响
now increases the damage of
虚空箭
by 20%, down from 35%
The changes announced for Shadow only have a minor impact on PvE in 9.1. The nerf to
不谐回响
is, while substantial to the conduit itself, only a very small hit to Shadow's overall damage and won't impact our performance in Mythic+ or the upcoming raid. As for why this change has been made I'm personally unsure, perhaps Blizzard are aiming to curb the strength of Shadow's damage during Voidform, or just considered the conduit's ouput above the range for a standard potency conduit.
Shadow's PvE strength, though it's only early days, seems to still be sustained single target and priority target damage. On live Shadow is currently one of the top specs for these encounters, as well as a strong choice for Mythic
德纳修斯大帝
due to the importance of his final phase. With nothing substantial in 9.1 so far, I've no reason to expect that to change.
The negative of Shadow receiving very little so far in 9.1 is that the areas Shadow struggles in will continue to be poor. Weak dots and an awkward, mostly talent driven AoE rotation have been issues for players in dungeons this expansion, despite ample damage potential, and representation within the MDI. Hopefully some of the new toys in 9.1, as well as potential changes further down the line, can alleviate this.
Shadow Priest Guide
Destruction Warlock
Specialization (1)
混乱之箭
Unleashes a devastating blast of chaos, dealing a critical strike for 146%160% of Spell power)] Chaos damage. Damage is further increased by your critical strike chance.
Effect #1 Effect #1 School Damage
Value: 0 (SP mod: 1.461.6)
(Pvp Multiplier: 1.151.4)
Destruction Warlock Guide Writer Perspective
Destruction received a minor 10% buff to
混乱之箭
. Buffing the damage of this ability is very powerful for Destruction, as this is the hard hitting ability we play around in order to deal major damage. Further, this is empowered through clever
浩劫
usage.
In patch 9.0.5 Destruction is, in general, lacking a few % of damage output to compete with a lot of the other ranged dps specs. The niche we have always had is very large on-demand priority target burst dps, and this buff further enforces this.
These buffs alongside the nerfs to Affliction means, currently Destruction looks like a very strong contender for both raiding, and mythic+ going into patch 9.1.
