    • Havoc
      • Damage of all abilities increased by 2%.
      • Demon’s Bite damage increased by 46%.

      • Glacial Spike damage increased by 50%.
        • Developers’ notes: This prevents the Icicles from doubling %-damage buffs (since the stored Icicle damage already benefits from such buffs). The base damage of Glacial Spike is being increased so that the total damage is similar to what it was in typical situations.

        • Feign death should no longer cause Captain Yathae Moonstrike's Incorporeal Shot to fail.
        • Incorporeal Shot will now fire immediately instead of canceling harmlessly if the primary target uses a full immunity effect like Ice Block or Divine Shield.

      • Kil’jaeden

    Items
    • Convergence of Fates once again correctly reduces the cooldown of Metamorphosis for Havoc Demon Hunter.

    • Tome of Unraveling Sanity’s Critical Strike buff is now half as effective for non-Ranged Damage specializations.
    • The Warmace of Shirvallah can now be dropped by Helya in Trial of Valor.

    Quests
    • Demon Hunter Campaign: If you abandon "Defense of the Fel Hammer" during the scenario, you will now be able to pick the quest up again from Kor'vas on Mardum.
    • The Black Tome should now always be visible if you have not completed “The Black Tome”.
    • Earthtwisting Defilers in the Shaman quest "Infernal Phenomena" should no longer get stuck evading.

    Kil’jaeden now berserks 10 minutes after being engaged.


    This one is gonna suck big time. Watching alot of videos on YT and alike, seeing most guild spending 10+ min taking him down, GG blizzard.

    Our first kill, monday this week, took 11 min. 31 sec.

    Well, atleast we got him before this crappy change.

    This caught my raid by surprise, too, but we still managed to kill him. It was a matter of not dawdling in the second transition.

    Second transition, is the same as second phase, where he flies around?

    Finally wow can go fuck itself again. Necromancer Inc!

    Before this change anyone know what the KJ enrage was?

    No, it's the part where you're stuck in the dark with a bunch of adds and have to find Illidan so you can fight them off.

    That ALSO changed from last Tues... you used to be able to see Raid Markers through the darkness, but not anymore. Hunters can track Illidan through the darkness with Track Humanoid so when they found him they pinged the map so everyone else could find him, too.

    He didn't appear to have one.

    He didn't seem to have one. We killed him after a 14mn+ fight (half the raid was dead), and it was kind of ridiculous to be honest.

    I won't say I'm happy about the change, but it was to be expected.

    Meh, if alot of raid teams, run into the proverbial zerg wall, blizzard will prolly raise the timer with a min or two, like they did with Guarm in ToV.

    Sylvan Maelstrom of the Aurora should now correctly grant its Versatility bonus only when outdoors in the world and not in instances.
    Thank you Blizzard for this awesome change shortly after I'd bought this item. Same like some months ago when I'd bought the Darkmoon Deck Immortality and few days later you changed the Iron Fur from Guardian Druid not to stack anymore with bonus armor procs. Can I get my gold back?

    As we continue to tune Player versus Player balance...
    No tuning for Resto Shaman?

  13. #13
    Hmmmm. It might be the enrage was 20 {+} minutes. From what has been said so far. So guess actually putting it so that a reasonable enrage was placed was a good idea. Cause you don't wan't groups stacking healers and tanks to bypass mechanics in normal/heroic difficulties.

  14. #14
    No BM hunter buffs, looks like it will continue to be garbage tier.

  15. #15
    Those warrior nerfs are not enough.

    Yeah im guessing its the brainpower option, anyone who cant give a decent argument just resorts to the tired old lines of being "edgy". It's a shame you kids are our future, its looking pretty bleak.
