PW:Shield nerf?

[Tahmu]

Yesterday my PW:S absorbed 10.3k selfbuffed, now it's only absorbing 7.7k, did I miss any nerf blue posts about this?

My shield was previously ~11.1k unbuffed and it's now ~8.5k

11.1k-8.5k = 2.6k

10.3k-7.7k = 2.6k

It could be a coincidence that it matches, but it has been nerfed it seems and I can't find a blue post about it.

same numbers here 11.1 to 8.5

There was a stealth manareg nerf or rather bugfix, too.
I still was regging mana while chaincasting after the patch (so you could start healing right after switching specs and still gain mana in 2% steps per second), now it is fixed and I lose mana while casting. Guess it's just a bugfix, it seems your manareg had even during casting no penalty.

well the mana regen states it "in combat" and "out of combat" not while casting /while not casting anymore

Try going into ICC and see if it goes back to 10.3k - I noticed the same nerf but it seems the issue was the 30% buff was applying to shields everywhere, not just in ICC (this was actually also going on for a while in 3.3).

This is probably the case.

Stealthnerfing is the best way to avoid massive QQ.

Remember Blizzard said no more bubble spam,so they are nerfing PW:S into extinction. This expansion the discipline priest is going to be the red-headed stepchild of the family...sigh.

Get used to playing holy.

i'm a red head who plays disc priest, I resent that!

That would explain things...

Because that's not the point of the disc priest.. or it's not supposed to be the point. yeah, they can be raid support with spamming bubbles but where is the fun in that? Disc is still going to be viable. It will just be different than WotLK style disc healing.

Yea, and also the sky is falling on us and world ends in 2012.

This also explains why Shield wasn't getting +30% in ICC anymore.

Never been in ICC and I've noticed a significant decrease in PW:S.

Between this point and last week? That's because the ICC patch was applied globally to absorbs, when it shouldn't have been. It's a bugfix.

But he stated he WASN'T in ICC...

Tried disc on thursday's raid. Pre-patch my shields absorbed almost 18k each fully raidbuffed with demo warlock pet buff. Sat on 4.2k spell power. When patch hit my shields inside ICC absorbed around 8k with 440 Mastery and 5k spell power.

Bye disc, hello holy.
