Comment by SapoQLxdI was wondering why did I have over 10k of a statComment by KryplixxMy prot warrior has 85% damage reduction no buffs... can't be intended.Comment by minka25MOAR STATS MOAR FUN

LET THE 10 million HP spread… so next addon the main feature is a not working stat squish again.

Don’t know why they must escalate so much every damn time.Comment by p00pyjoelAwesome, now if only I could get my currency that vanished on the receiving and sending character after transferring then DC’d shortly after….Comment by BacchusdrinksMOAR STATS MOAR FUN

And 85% Mastery from the old value of around 73% if I remember correctly. Same goes with HP despite them nerfing Endurance Training from 8% to 5%Comment by avatarofshadowregular gear is now stronger than heirlooms.

Like pressing the gas pedal while also brakingComment by SabaziusPretty sure a lot of this has to do with that redesign developer note from the last week. Developer’s note: In The War Within, all character Stamina has been increased by 60% as part of an overall adjustment to the pace of healing gameplay. This increases the relative value of abilities that heal a percentage of a character’s maximum health. Many of these ability changes are to counteract that relative change. For instance, the percentage health that Frenzied Regeneration restores has been reduced by about a third, but the amount of health it restores has remained the same.
Death Strike is a powerful ability that allows Blood Death Knights to mitigate a percentage of any form of damage taken in the last 5 seconds. In a way, Death Strike works like a retroactive shield block. Instead of reducing damage up front, it “mitigates” the damage you took from a hit by healing you. If used in succession, Death Strike can affect a single hit multiple times, which would be comparable to blocking a hit, then going back in time and blocking it again, in some cases restoring yourself to higher health than where you started. In The War Within, we are changing Death Strike to only heal the death knight for a percentage of damage taken from a given damage event once, to make it scale more like other tank mitigation mechanics.
We are also reducing Runic Power generation somewhat and reducing some of the mitigation death knights get from high-uptime cooldowns like Enfeeble and Dancing Rune Weapon, but increasing armor from Bone Shield. Overall, death knights should take damage more smoothly, and they will remain one of the strongest tanks for encounters with high magic or periodic damagehttps://www.cuckhead.com/news/the-war-within-beta-development-notes-for-july-17th-more-class-tuning-345253Comment by turorudi346on low level gear they've increased the itemlevels but reduced primary and secondary stats... why mess with this?

example: lvl20 f2p twink had 30% crit, now has 20%Comment by IncandioLast week I could solo Antros by rolling my head back and forth on the keyboard. Now I get him down to 50% before the stacks finish me off.Comment by Apolypticathis seems to have f'ed up some of the gear on my lower level characters...Comment by GodstompaYeah that's good with their crackdown on Leech I guessComment by KorijenkinsYeah because killing people in PvP didn't take long enough as is. Highest time to kill in the history of the game, and they wonder why no one is doing random BGs outside of full premades.Comment by MikeMJGMy prot warrior has 85% damage reduction no buffs... can't be intended.
