Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events
MMO-Champion
Okay so what the hell are blizzard thinking, anyone else think they're just clueless right now?
"The damage output of Potion of Deadly Grace and Potion of the Old War has been increased by 100%"
Huh, Old war doesn't need a damage increase, it's needs a bloody fix, there's no point increasing the damage output of a pot that BUGS OUT.
Not to mention deadly grace, the pot is stupidly game changing, for some classes its just bad and for others it's godly, for example i tested it out as unholy dk and the potion did 700k damage (1.4m as blood dk) whereas the mage in my guild in the same fight had the potion doing 2.2m damage.
That same mage was using them yesterday with more gear etc and the potion did 4 MILLION damage. Why on earth does this potion need a buff?

Latest Hotfix - Potions?

WoD potions were outperforming Legion potions in certain situations (AoE damage, mostly iirc) before this change. That's why they got buffed.

How many itterations did you run to get this with Deadly Grace? A sample pool with anything less than 1000 is kinda useless.

Isn't melee supposed to be using the old god potions? Pretty sure deadly grace is only supposed to proc on spells. I maybe wrong but the old god is specifically melee so seems dumb for melee to be able to use both and casters only one. Originally Posted by TwentyTwelve

Melee would use old war if it wasn't for the fact that its bugged, hence the point about it not needing a buff but an actual fix.
It;ll only do its effect for like 1 or 2 seconds of the duration.

It was already stupidly strong for mages. Burned through 600 potions on beta, now they buffed it by 100% as well, with moderate rng, the potion itself can do 7m during opener. Originally Posted by uxzuigal

Something wrong with killing bosses faster? Or are you just complaining because you are losing on the meters? Don't be upset about anything that makes your raid team do more damage!

Any sort of damage proc is going to be busted for mages, have you seen how hard the satyr neck enchant hits lol.

or maybe they realised most people dont use pots because of the cost atm and wanted to adress that. Originally Posted by Theprejudice

Tested both pots earlier once to just see which would be better since Icyveins said unholy uses Deadly Grace not Old war.
My old war pot procced 4 times in the 25 sec duration and only did 850k dmg, the deadly grace did 2mil in 25 sec window.

Yep the old war has low procs because the `add` despawns shortly into the pots duration, as for deadly grace, 2m sounds good but yeah, its crap.

Deadly grace is obviously better for casters since it would scale off intellect just like mark of the satyr scales off intellect, also you could get 5 sec moreo n your deadly grace by being a ranged.

MMO champ really is full of...
Obviously deadly grace is more suited for casters, but melee are FORCED to use deadly grace because old war potions are bugged, they buffed the potions when currently Old war is non existent and deadly grace is over the top for certain classes, before they even buff the pots they should really fix them.
It was a terrible idea to use these sort of proc effects for pots.

Should have nerfed the WoD potions and fixed the bugged Legion one but you know Blizzard.
