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.

    It's a buff not a nerf, read it again slowly if you have trouble.

    Thank GOD. I was just grumbling about how I have 400+ ink of dreams, and no starlight inks. Now I know what I'm doing first thing tomorrow :P

    I wonder if we should recruit more tanks to the guild and run with 4-5 tanks in 10man, I guess that would increase our raid dps overall.

    Just some nice chain taunting should do the trick, if vengeance stack up rapidly it should work

    Buffing tanks' DPS? I think there's been a case of AIDS in Blizzards simulators.

    How is This a buff? Tanks have no gear atm, thats why we get so much vengeance because we take so much damage(avoiding less) but with This change thats baseb on avoiding stuff, we won't get that much vengeance until we get gear!

    Before this change, whenever you avoid an attack your vengeance buff is refreshed but not added to. After the change it is both refreshed and added to. Obvious buff.

    not the greatest buff but at least its something

    Vengeance is not being buffed, it's being smoothened. In Mogu'shan Vaults (and upcoming raids) many fights have tank swapping mechanics. After taunt avoidance streak could mean that you have zero vengeance and dps or the old tank could very easily pull aggro. And in 5 man content where vengeance drops between packs and avoidance streaks are bad for the tank and overly eager dps. Vengeance is being averaged out, not buffed or nerfed.

    My question is.... where is this vendor? I cant trade my inks...
  1. ejpaints's Avatar
    If u lost $ bc you sold your inks it's your own fault. Common sense would state the ink trader would get updated. Guess common sense isn't so common. On the bright side, thx for all the cheap ink u sold me last week.

    I want to know the answer to this as well. I really hope this isn't a "oops, we forgot to put it in even though we just announced it yesterday".

    "You tanks" shouldn't be top DPS, AT ALL. Single target, AoE, Abraham Lincoln, whatever. They need to put some kind of short ICD on Vengeance stacking so you don't gain astronomically more from multiple sources. The "gain" in DPS from AoE (and I use the term loosely here because it's rather hard for most DPS to do more AoE than single-target currently, unless they want to have no cooldowns for boss pulls) should come from using your attacks effectively, not because you gain hundreds of thousands of attack power from pulling a bunch of mobs.

    Agreed. Hubby's prot Pali shouldn't be capable of outdoing my hunter on aoe but he can, relatively easily. We've even played around with me switching specs just to see difference. End result is same. He's routinely pulled over 100k on pulls and I'm talking 5 mans with no raid gear and only partial heroic gear. Even he said he's cringing about the incoming nerfbat.
