Upcoming Class Tuning and Tier Set Tuning - Unholy DK, Havoc, Devastation Evoker

Live Posted 2024/09/06 at 8:15 PM by Squishei

With scheduled weekly maintenance on September 10, we’re going to reduce the effectiveness of a few new Class Tier sets that would otherwise overperform relative to our targeted values. We will also increase the baseline damage of the affected specs to account for the tier set tuning.

We will then look forward to additional tuning that we’ll develop during Heroic week, which will address anything needed for PvP, Mythic+, and Mythic raiding on September 17.

The September 10 changes will be:

Death Knight
Unholy

All ability damage increased by 5%
Nerub-ar Palace Tier Set: 4-piece – Haste when summoning a minion reduced to 1% (was 2%), up to a maximum of 4% (was 8%).

Blood

All ability damage increased by 5%
Nerub-ar Palace Tier Set: 4-piece – Damage is increased by 0.5% per Boneshield Charge (was 1%).

Demon Hunter
Havoc

All ability damage increased by 4%.
Nerub-ar Palace Tier Set : 4-piece – Damage of Chaos Strike reduced to 12% (was 20%). Now reduces the Fury cost of Blade Dance by 30% (was 50%).

Vengeance

All ability damage increased by 3%.
Nerub-ar Palace Tier Set : 2-piece – Soul Cleave damage reduced to 10% (was 15%). Soul Cleave has a 25% chance to shatter 1 Lesser Soul Fragment (was 35%).

Evoker
Devastation

All ability damage increased by 3%.
Nerub-ar Palace Tier Set : 2-piece – Damage of Disintegrate and Pyre increased by 6% (was 10%).

The 4 Coffee Barista's being attached to Abomination Summoning making our 1.5 Minute Burst windows our only damage source.

But 5% will totally fix Unholy.Comment by TrickyWoo86GIVE US NERUBIANSComment by ShoyoooNo fire mage buffs?

Useless classComment by MetaspecThey just cant accept the fact that until Augvoker exists, it cannot be nerfed to the point where MDI/TGP (and the people who copy MDI/TGP comps no matter how viable other classes are) wont use it. And based on how low key groups require the same groups as top teams sadly, devoker will be inferior to augvoker ( -can you go aug please? -no why? I wanna play devoker *declined*)

Aug can only be nerfed if its deleted. Even if they added a new supp spec, comp would include the new spec with aug in it as well.

if some1 forces you to play aug on low keys, he is just trolling since aug will be much less optimal on low keys. Believe or not, if u get declined just because u dont play aug, its actually good for you since that other guy just bad at the game and u dont wanna do even a weekly with a bad playerComment by TahumaNo buffs to cooks? I'm rerolling a fisher when raid launches if they don't buff cooks, i may as well just be a vendor at this point. They buff blacksmiths but not cooks... I'm starving hereComment by Demos89Why are teir sets getting nerted when there not even out yet ?Comment by BuffFireMagebuff fire prayerComment by KapayaNo fire mage buffs?
