Ink Trader Exchange Change

Vengeance Hotfix
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
A hotfix will be applied to adjust how Vengeance stacks for tanks of all classes:

  • Vengeance should now ramp up more quickly. Avoidance will now grant Vengeance based on the average damage of the avoided NPC auto-attack, instead of just refreshing existing Vengeance. This does not apply to enemy special attacks.

This will be noted in the next hotfix update, but we wanted to let you know immediately, as this change will be applied sometime today.

    Not this month. You can only have so many scroll of wisdom to make the cards and they aren't in the greatest supply at the moment. The inks aren't exactly what are causing the high prices.

    There is no need to post in such a way to put others down. I'm a healer and can acknoweledge how vengeance is alot stronger in MoP compared to Cata.

    Most tanks favor avoidance over mitigation now, this is actually a little bit of a nerf, since dodging an attack would just refresh vengeance as if you had taken another heavy hit, rather than just average.

    To clarify, avoidance was already helping vengeance, it wouldn't fall off, it would just refresh. So now by adding average damage, rather than refreshing as if it was previous damage, you might have higher vengeance for a bit, but the hit you took 19 seconds ago is about to lose its contribution to your vengeance.

    People saying that vengeance will be capped... what? Nowhere does it mention or even imply a vengeance cap. If anything, this is a buff to vengeance. Vengeance is supposed to be something like damage taken in the last 20 seconds will add attack power with a bandaid in place to frontload some of the AP from recent damage. If you dodged or parried an attack, then you took less damage, and hence have receive less AP. Now that it's counting dodged and parried attacks, you have even more recent damage to increase your vengeance.

    Yeah except if as a guardian you use savage defense at the start (and who wouldn't) which means under the current model you would be refreshing a very very low stack of vengeance over and over.

    you apparently missed my point, but thats ok. ill say it slower. Tanks get the less credit than ANY other role in the game, yet we have to have just as much skill and most of the time handle more responsibility than any other role, were also the first ones to get blamed if anything goes wrong regardless of whether its our fault or not. how is this balanced? now that tank dps is higher maybe dps will have to work harder for their piece of the pie.

    as much as people are claiming tank dps is OP. there are dps beating me on the charts, and then there are quite a few who are...not. looks like the men are being separated from the boys IMO.

    Your statement would hold ground if we would write the year 2005.

    The only skill a tank needs is the ability not to over-pull, now, 3-4 months down the road, you'll be able to pull 5 packs with no consequences like in the last 2 expansions. And even that skill, is not utilized in raids, since you don't have to bother about pack placements most of the time.

    Tanking was harder back in the day, now the only thing that I would consider hard while tanking is trying to find a position where the huge bosses don't block all your vision, especially if the ceiling is super low. I do however agree that the big numbers cause of vengeance do feel nice, even tho we really don't do anything for it, just as DPS don't do much for theirs.

    Playing a warrior tank since Feb, 2005 I think the hardest class to play is a healer, not because it's hard to click on bars, but because it can be stressful, split-second decision making, it's more stressful as tanking or DPSing, and especially at the start of an expansion healers get to adopt the most and have to deal with the biggest problems that is called mana regen and that allows no mistakes what so ever in their gameplay.

    the vengeance change is a slight nerf in some ways and a buff in others its a nerf because in theory a tank soaking a massive hit could avoid attacks often enough after it that the vengeance from that massive attack would last indeffinately (this would take a lot of luck or a skilled druid + a fair bit of luck to happen though) and making it stack of avoided attacks isnt the buff people think it basically just means tanks not getting screwed threat wise if they get lucky and avoid half a dozen attacks right of the bat
    there will be very few circumstances where this is actually a DPS increase for tanks
