术士 - Destruction
魔甲术 now increases Armor by 150% (was 275%).
During Battle for Azeroth Season 1, we identified that 术士s were taking too much damage from physical sources during PvP. We remedied this by adding a new PvP talent, 魔甲术, which increased their physical mitigation to match characters wearing Plate Armor. As we've been monitoring Season 2, we feel that the armor increase caused 术士s to become too tanky in the current meta. This change effectively brings their physical mitigation close to that of Mail Armor (about 36% at ilvl 415), when it was previously similar to Plate Armor (about 45% at ilvl 415).
