so will the new patch legit go live without the (old) malefic grasp animation ?

Guess so. Shame, affliction could do with some visuals
lol official patch notes say Malefic Grasp is 20%
oh got the patch notes. so many screw ups. Malefic Grasp 20%, Grimoire of Synergy listed as Affliction ability. Oh boy blizzard come on
Grimoire of Supremacy now reduces Doom Guard’s Doom Bolt damage by 20%.
Grimoire of Synergy bonus damage is now 35% (was 40%). (under destruction)
what the hell is going on with those patch notes?
It was. It was also worthless at 20%
It's either a typo or affliction is, err, fucked. It would be crazy to have it at 80% and then take it down to 20% live.
Particularly when almost every other class starts with "the damage of most abilities has been increased...."
That's probably aimed at the legendary nerfs as compensation, but the affliction BIS got hammered by 50% with no generalised increase: it's all built into Malfic Grasp/Haunt/Contagion. Our basic spells are the same.
Affliction will have worst single target than now. Gratz Blizz, only you could achieve it.
It's GOT to be a screwup. I can;t see them buffing it to 80% on the PTR and then dropping it back down to 20% at the last minute. If it;s true then affliction is screwed, as almost every other class seems to have had buffs handed out like free candy.
A 20% Malefic Grasp is worthless. It's why it's 80%. This has got to be a mistake.
The notes are clearly riddled with typos, you people are weird.
Also WEW! Did not expect them to actually change this:

Yeah. These notes come across as very rushed. Out at the last minute and riddled with mistakes, plus generalisms about "spells and abilities being increased" but not much about which ones or how much.
Destruction for example, has that. On the PTR that's a buff aura which is quicker than applying changes to individual abilities, but on live, we should be seeing which abilities and by how much. iirc it was about 4% on a number of things.
There was a bit of a row about the lateness of the notes and Ornyx got a bit heated. It comes across as rushe dout at the last minute and a job handed to someone who doesn;t actually know but is typed from a scribbled list lol
