this is a terrible change that will hurt ranged dps trying to to the right thing and stand in healing rain or efflo. This SUCKS. Just remove the agi, make it a caster trinket like all the other ranged trinkets. You're making the design worse in a super awkward way just for hunters? Makes no sense to me.
Poor Evokers trying to stay exactly between 20 to 25 yards.
“Melee meta”I almost died laughing at that. 7 of the top 10 specs in Mythic Vault were ranged, TWO are hunters. Maybe play a class that isn’t #$%^ before complaining that melee ruin everything. Good god this comment section is a $%^&ing meme.
I don't think this was the right solution, but can we all agree that something is fundamentally wrong with design when a ranged trinket is the BiS for many melee specs? If it's not intended to go to melee specs, it shouldn't be BiS for them to begin with.
Damn Blizz. Could have easily limited this to class and left it unchanged.
Just needed to add "Ranged Damage Specializations Only".
So MANY crybabies talking about sims and stuff when something is clearly NOT meant for their spec/role.What's next, they gonna start simming Casters trinkets with stats procs and claiming to be BiS for them but they can't get it? Oh wait.... They already did that with trinket from HoV with Crit and Range abilities proc. 😝
Thanks to the greedy melee players who cried so loud to want to have this trinket which is meant for ranged players.Thanks a lot.
What the hell? Why? I don't want stuff to be nerfed o my damage feel exactly the same as pre embers. I want to progressively feel significant strengthening as i get higher gear. .. I was happy as a MM hunter.. Just make it range classes only... :( Why do this... I was gonna grab igneous fragment and flowstone and call it a day.. but now this.. uncertainty :(...
Let range specs enjoy thingsMelee: NOOOOO!
Great.. sadly I'm not surprised. This trinket was good for my ranged class, but not 50% good. So I guess now we just don't use it at all. Which leaves us with a lot less options for trinkets at the high end. Without getting the rare drop (which will never happen) we basically have no good passive trinkets now..Also evoker has 5 yards to work with 😂 I wonder if blizzard realises that at all
Ye this for sure feels like melee whiner babies have gotten what they wanted.As a destruction warlock with an extreme flat damage profile ( our 3 min cds are not really impactful ) the stone is what we wanted since a 3 min cd trinket will just not be significant enough. So here we go with a 50% nerf, yay. Others do have good trinkets, for that was really a perfect match.On top the 20 yards limitation feels extremely bad and I have to say it genereates hate to the melee whiners. There are many situations in raids and m+ where you need to go near to the boss. So due to mechanics or just how the dungeon is made ( narrow lanes, Line of Sight e.g.) ranges are punished, but it is not their fault!For me these changes just make this trinket a dead choice. From hero to zero.
