[PvP] UA dispell crits for 2.1 million

[muto]

Punished for dispelling it. FeelsGoodMan.

I had this happen to me during skirmishes, the weird part is I didn't do anything to dispel UA and it just exploded on me for 1.6 million (unless a talent causes UA to apply a slow, in which case it was my consecrate that removed it).

Edit: no UA doesn't apply a slow, I doubt it had anything to do with your consecration.
Edit2: does blessing of spellwarding dispel magical debuffs from the target? cause that would probably explain what happened to you.

Hmm...I don't remember if I popped it or not, but that would explain it if I did use it on the other player I was doing skirmishes with.

In 7.1 insane huge nerf comes to Unstable Affliction in PvP. Dispelled damage will be reduced by roughly −58% (it'll deal 50% of damage per stack, down from 120%). Also, it's reworked. Source: Build 22578 Blue post.




On the other hand, the same blue post introcuces quite big buff to Unstable Affliction trait: Compounding Horror, increasing it's effective damage by roughly +74% (it'll deal 32% of Spell Power per stack, up from 18.4%) by being reworked completelly:




Summary
The fact that Compounding Horror needs a time to proc strongly reduces ability to deal huge amount of damage in just a few seconds, keeping decent overall damage over time damage from Unstable Affliction (and it's derivatives). I am pleased with upcomming changes.

The change to compounding horror is another nerf you are not considering mastery and tier effects to UA

Such a high amount of mastery needed to turn this buff into a nerf is almost impossible, as long as you don't indentionally stack mastery.
