Some players did not receive their titles as expected - we are aware of this. We have a fix that will be deployed during realm restarts which should be happening within the next 24 hours. We’ve made sure that all eligible players are flagged correctly, and we expect this distribution to go smoothly.

We appreciate your patience with this, and thank you for your understanding. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Holy shit can I please stop being dumped into silvershard mines with 3 BM hunters. 3 BM hunters on any team is an instant loss.
what's your top BM Hunters In PvP complaint? (Muffinus)

Thanks for being the BM Hunter hero we needed with regards to the tier set and Hati. If I could give you a bonus I would.
Can't take credit, all of these things were done by the class team before I said anything, they are pretty on top of stuff (Muffinus)

Karazhan
i thought lfg for Karazhan was coming in 7.1.5? or is that later?
That's for Patch 7.2 (WarcraftDevs)

Really nice changes for pvp ! Burst is out of control ...
More HP + less damage

[Fritters154]

Errrrr....

Did they just hotfix a trinket that has been out for like 5 months? Where was that when EN was current?

[Dugna]

......the CoF nerf makes jack all sense.....guess its back to farming vault...I was so happy to not have to do that damn dungeon but guess thats never ending.

Spontaneous Appendages were stealth nerfed in patch 7.1.5.
Lots of people reported the damage output was cut in half

Ah, okay. That makes much more sense.

[Deleted]

So basically; instead of looking how to make all the other trinkets more viable compared to FCM, they go and nerf the next BiS.
It's just bad design if an ilvl840 trinket beats out most 870+ ones. No excuses here.

This just screams "clueless monkeys".

[zholo]

still no Convergence of Fates fix for feral's incarnation CD ... wow.

[Deleted]

Twisting Wind trinket is bugged aswell, wonder why they dont fix it yet

[Nozuka]

Essences of Aman'thul are much easier to collect than i thought.
And i only got 1 legendary to upgrade. Thank god.

CoF for ret with crusade was insanely powerful,Crusade is a crazy DPS cooldown

[Xerfall]

Ana-Mouz in Arabic literally translates to "I'm Banana" hahaha xD

Well when you only have one CD......

890 CoF is still simmed better than 875 FCM so don't worry about farming VotW again.

Yea, we understand what Crusade is. The trinket was not "insanely powerful", it only sim'ed at +20kdps for me replacing my FCM. Given that agi classes can equip things like bloodthirsty and spontaneous, it didn't seem unreasonable that Ret have one really good trinket that they could equip.

Note: You wouldn't equip both CoF and FCM. CoF Breaks FCM and makes it worst than a stat-stick.

[Kettaryan]

dunno but Twisting Wind trinket is bugged
