Isn't it like 20% of spell power on live and 35% in ptr?

No, its 35%. It's definitely a 16.6% nerf, but it's really, really not a big deal. You'll be fine and won't be shelved like Glad Stance warrior.

dat mythic beastmaster dps though... starfall is like 55% of my damage :O
One fight/boss but really like we need a nerf to spell like SF. Warriors/rogues and locks have better AOE, I seen warriors push 200-250k dps burst on some fights with a lot of adds... Only good thing i liked was Koragon?!? and when raid is in "hands" ( yeah im to lazy to remember the names ) and when i use SF, I have like 3x more dmg then 2nd on them
Instead it should be buffed to be on par with other classes AoE spells
I always knew that Starfall was bound for a nerf. ~17% isn't that much thankfully.
I thought 35% spell power is only on the 6.1 PTR?
Guess I was wrong, did some target dummy testing, its definitely 35%.
Nerf is probably related to PVP. PVE wise, starfall isn't broken dps except in very unique spread aoe circumstances. I doubt blizzard would nerf a spell because of 1 or 2 fights total.

It's been 35% since the October 30 hotfixes when Starfall was buffed 75% (from 20% sp to 35%). There just hasn't been an actual patch since then to fix the tooltip.
Doubt it's for pvp. Afaik they nerfed it by 33% (?) pvp-only when they buffed the spell. My bet would be it was a thorn in their eyes for a while, and now Kromog just triggered the nerf bat.
Definitely a sizable nerf. Maybe now Boomkins won't be 10 of the top parses in the world for Beastlord.
Yea, it's a pretty big nerf for anything with sustained aoe. I'm a bit baffled are trying to say 16% is not 16% though!
It was needed, coming from a boomkin. I'm surprised it hasn't been nerfed by a larger amount. We'll be just fine..
they already gave it a pvp specific hotfix nerf in december, so now I think starfall is doing almost half the damage it was doing on release in pvp
0.65*0.834=0.5421
lol (assuming that that nerf is still included)
Definitely lucky to get away with 16%.
Remember Bear Thrash?
