Is it just me that havent noticed a change in Mind Sear from blue posts, or did they stealth nerf it.
Here's my stats...
3212 spellpower unbuffed
32.23% haste
32.02% crit
Muradin's spyglass and dislodged foreign object as trinkets.
...during a whole Old Stratholme run i got:
Mind sear: Count: 270 - Total Damage: 304.777
Hit: Min: 741 Avg: 795 Max: 956 (61,1%)
Crit: Min: 1557 Avg: 1654 Max: 1943 (38,9%)
The death knight in my group did 2.646.255 dmg from 325 howling blasts and was averaging 5817 on hits and 12278 on crits, which is more along the lines of what my mind sear did prepatch.
Anyone know if this is intended?

They lowered the damage (forget how much) and increased the radius.
I reported lamb of log twice, once for having a slow car and once for trolling.

But with 90%? seems a bit much. And howling blast clearly isnt nerfed.

It was listed in the 4.0.1 changes for priests. Pretty steep nerf, if you ask me. I don't see anywhere that says they increased the radius though, just the range of the spell (of course they increased the range of nearly all spells since we no longer have the talent that increases the range of them).Mind Sear now deals 81 to 88 Shadow damage every sec, down from 183 to 197. Range increased to 35 yards, up from 30 yards.

Mind Sear was nerfed much more than other similar aoe. Spells like Hurricane, Earthquake, Rain of fire easily tick 2x the damage MS does now.

Howling blast seems to be nerfed a bit, I pulled 30k crits with howling blast in 3.3.5.

All AoE got an enormous nerf. And yes it sucks. At the moment, unless there's a very large group of mobs, it's best to just focus fire down, especially on the beta (I understand on WOTLK everything can be steamrolled). That change is mainly for beta's benefit, since, from what I've seen so far, there's very little opportunities you need to mind sear as it stands. Though they haven't unlocked raids yet, so who knows. But this Mind Sear nerf, once cata hits, you won't even care about. It's all going to be single target focus fire.
