I'm fairly certain the devs couldn't be that oblivious to our mechanics ... I want to believe they're just panicking because they realized if they don't clip the trinkets wings it will be BiS forever.
Ikr, ridiculous
Let's not even get into semantics, the fundamental response is exactly the same. Basically he said it felt like warlocks abused it which clearly isn't the case. There are lot's of trinkets and always have been that provide a significant gain for some classes over others, and there always will be.
And yeah, no one (or practically no one) supports rppm but it looks like they're sticking to their guns. On progression it was a little wacky but in near BiS gear levels I think it's really gotten a lot more stable. Obviously there are a few fights where luck makes a world of difference though ...
True, but the new trinkets have quite low RPPM (0,46 and 0,51) as well as not scaling off haste. That's more random than RPPM has ever been, and getting next tier BiS will not change a thing about that.
With UVLS they made an unusual proc and it created unusual consequences. Personally I appreciate unique trinkets, I think they should be more than a stat stick. I agree that it would feel wrong to have UVLS being BiS for all next tier, I'm hoping that's what that tweet meant
I still think the easiest solution to making UVLS under valued next tier would be to make a trinket that had a chance to grant 100% crit strike chance for 5 seconds.

Posting my 5.4 heroic non-TF bis list ( didnt feel like wowheading every item to get its stat values for TF ), for affliction next tier, figured some people might find it interesting.
Things to remember:
1) This is PTR values, they could change
2) I did as good with reforging hit as I could, my brain started to fry a bit towards the end so yolo.
3) I was aiming for the 13.7k haste breakpoint, then full mastery.
4) This is a very VERY early analysis of the gear available to us in SoO things can change
5) My brain hurts dont be mean

I wanted to do that yesterday to see how much Mastery we could stack for the Destro-GoSac spec, but Wowhead's profiler doesn't have the PTR gear for now and I'm not as much motivated as youPosting my 5.4 heroic non-TF bis list ( didnt feel like wowheading every item to get its stat values for TF ), for affliction next tier, figured some people might find it interesting.
PS: Too bad this is Haste/Crit, I would have loved to wear this item

Also make Harvest Life back into an AOE spell - stop with the crappy changes to us locks. So far 9/10 lock changes so far suck
We found hardly anyone was using Harvest Life. That's not always the only concern, but we didn't think it was salvageable.
Gee GC, how many people were using it BEFORE the damage was nerfed to hell in 5.2?
idd, i think that in itself, when exclude the dmg from bonus ticks that it does less dmg than harvest life/drain life. you will however have a very high uptime on it, the 4pc might not be strong but it is still very nice for afflic when you consider it will increase the uptime of haunt.
MG itself is extremely weak now but the bonus damage still gets buffed by the 2pc iirc so it's probably still worth it.
