Comment by valky94Ouaou nerf to locks 5% is nothing...nerf them all spells by 20% and then it might be something lke nerf....now they ll start crying again....they wont top mettersComment by KainserRemember guys and girls. That with the numbers we do. A singel % is quite much.Comment by AyatoSSAffliction = Lazy SpecComment by eudo
Ignite had a bug where it was double dipping the ignite damage from bracer procs. It's been in the game since Legion launch and only recently Blizz either noticed it or figured out how to fix it. Anyhow, they fixed it and didn't think that maybe it would be a huge nerf to fire. This 3% buff isn't even enough to bring us back up to where we were before the bug was fixed, but I'll take it. :/

EDIT: it is a buff on aoe though, since the bug didn't affect players who weren't hardcasting pyroblasts. obviously you wouldn't want to use the bracers in aoe.https://www.altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4991Comment by Troy2Slick-6% for lock is too little and i dont see any ww nerfsComment by KarnegThis 3% buff isn't even enough to bring us back up to where we were before the bug was fixed, but I'll take it. :/
Hey mate :)
I'm not talking about that bug, I'm talking about a different one.
First time I observed it was from here (altered time fora, external link) : https://www.altered-time.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4991

Cheers.Comment by InterestI did notice that BM wasn't exactly parsing well. Was only a matter of time before it got something, even if I'm wrecking house with it currently. Afflict lock nerf was also expected - kind of what happens when you basically give them an ability that greatly improves their scaling.Comment by Jaia223I can imagine Mike from PG beeing sooo satisfied now and smiling 😂😂😂😂Comment by Thoregon1Finally a Buff for Beast Master. Its kinda lonely on the bottom of the statisticComment by Tombsv

I hope so. Will have to check after Tues restart.

I am actually wearing T19 2pc thats i890 and i900. And it STILL sims higher than i950s I have in the bags for same slot. Stupidly weak T21 bonus for BM hunters.Comment by Vaeevictisschrists sakes its only a 1.6% dps nerf. the sky isnt falling. the self healing had to be nerfed, it was ridiculous...but so nice lol.Comment by Zombby

they're topping meters because of the inherent class design in high movement raids. There's no need to be childish about it, it just makes you look petty for no real important reason. Hopefully they'll be easier to balance in BfA when shadow bolt returns. Having to stand still to deal damage will make them less overpowered and allow the devs to tweak their numbers without pushing them too far in either direction.Comment by MorgueanIs it possible to do something about the regular drop rate of legendaries? Case in point, my death knight has 2 on her, plus i dont know, 6 in the bank? my mage and warrior alts have none. I have been doing the same kind of content on the mage and the DK, in fact I got yet another legendary on my DK yesterday just turning in my highmountain daily quest. I turn around and do the exact same thing on the mage and I get nothing.

Is the extra chance to get legendaries from this gated behind having exalted or something?

It feels pretty terrible to get yet another legendary on my main and have none on an alt.

And yes, i am working on getting more wakening essences.Comment by serhataldIs it possible to do something about the regular drop rate of legendaries?

Affli hight than every other spec....that reminds me @paul1088 Draught of Souls furry......At some point this game should start having some balance between specs/class.....not everyone playing Affi or Furry or Dh or Monk on this patch.....why someone who loves a specific spec/class cant play and he haves to be pushing by that to play something that is doing MORE AND HUGE dmg....at the end is a game and in a game u should have fun and to do what u love to....not what they are pushing uComment by WinfreeSo many comment in 5min wow.Comment by AlcasczarTypical, mages gets buff, balance druid gets nerf in last 'adjustments".Comment by DaillemandHope we will soon learn more about the 50 ranks that will be add to Concordance of Legionfall (which would mean new ranks of AK probably) and about the instable weapons.
