or even DH/SP/Heal.. what should we call that..?

Void Hunting ?

[Relan]

New build hype!

More nerfs I am calling it.

[Kretan]

Oh yes it will change. Leap of Faith, Psychic Horror, Deep Freeze were removed. Melee is wrecking casters and nothing is indicating a change right now. Comps like RPS/RPD might return or even DH/SP/Heal.. what should we call that..?

Absolutely agree. I think god comp may be dead. I won't 100% stick a fork in it until it's proven dead, but I don't like it's chances.

I think that shadowplay has a chance if melee get nerfed, ret/shadow has a chance, and all the melee oriented cleaves like you said. I dunno if DH/SP is going to work though seeing as demon hunter is as squishy as shadow is from what people say.

Well you've got tentacles and winged bishounen elves, call it Anime Cleave.

With melee so dominant, I can see prot warrior/SP/heal being a good comp for us. Bodyguard against double melee would be nice.

Anyone think our hidden artifact appearances will involve C'thun and Yogg-saron?

No.

It's N'zoth.

[Relan]

No change in this beta build according to the main page.

Edit:
My bad, just talked with Chaud, He said it's not out yet, and as Rait mentioned those were the PTR notes.

[Deleted]

Beta Build notes aren't out yet, on the front page you have ptr notes (preexpac event build).

2 min rampup time before damage starts go of with legendary shoulders is really stupid :P

[davesignal]

That's why you use Shadow Word: Void and Legacy of the Void with them.

[Relan]

Thoughts on Buffs/Nerfs ? flat out nerf to void form?

[deviantcultist]

Nerfed even further while other specs are boosted? What's the meaning of this?

Looks to be somewhere between 5-8% nerf.

[Sxq]

Few spells buffed, looks like more were nerfed though? Mindbender nerf hurts. Voidform nerf hurts. I guess shadow crash got a decent buff, doubt it's good even then but maybe.

[Ilir]

So they buffed our dots but nerfed our direct damage spell (except SC), good ! ITS NOT LIKE PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT LEVELLING TROLOLOLO.

Ahem... dat no cd Shadow Word : Death wut ?

Dat Mindbender nerf SO STUPID.

[Smog]

The problem is that with how obtuse changing talents is, it's still unlikely we could ever take it to have decent aoe consistently.

Did they take the cd off of SW: Death, or am I reading this incorrectly?

[Ilir]

I think they should just get rid of voidform at this point, there's no freaking point to this useless spell now.

[Grumpy Old Man]

Voidform bonus damage nerfed further. Small buff to dots. Big buff to freakin' shadowcrash. Is this serious?

[Ilir]

Well if SW : D doesn't have a cd... they've sucessfully made us an execute class lol.

It now has 2 charges but still a 12 sec cd.

Swp only buffed iniate hit.

Mindbender will give 40% less insanity per cooldown.
Mindblast nerfed damage with 7.7% damage
vampiric touch bufffed with 16.67% damage
voidbolt nerf 8,4% damage
