Necromantic Focus Nerf

[Jahrastafari]

• Necromantic Focus now grants 39 mastery rating, down from 42.
• Necromantic Focus (H) now grants 44 mastery rating, down from 48.

The Necromantic Focus (H) now sims below DMC: Volcano in the BiS T12-H Demonology profile.

[Herrenos]

DMC:V is still top 4 for nearly all casters. I'm surprised it hasn't seen a nerf yet.

I dont see why it got nerfed. Wasnt "amazing".

[Toatx]

It's just a tooltip fix. All of the trinket changes were live a few weeks ago.

[Malefic]

It wasn't nerfed, it was always like that. It was a tooltip error like most of the Firelands trinkets. If you looked in your character pane you could see the heroic version was only granting 420 Mastery when fully stacked.

[Gobuchul]

Also, DMC:V has always simmed higher than the Focus for T12H Demo.

NF simmed ~40 dps higher for me on movement fights.

On a Necromantic Focus related note: would anyone be a doll and see if their soulburn: seed doesn't apply stacks of the buff for them?

I'm just curious, mostly. I already reported the bug

[DenniZ]

Does this now make Rune of Zeth rank higher then NF ?

[Licarius]

I thought it did anyway until the heroic version???

[Calabera]

I was under the impression Rune of Zeth was garbage... It does not seem wonderful, to me at least.

[Penguin FTW]

Nah it's p good.

For my personal sims, DMC was still better, and Rune only barely surpassed Heroic NF if there was 0 movement involved.

So I'm stuck with DMC:V until the next raid tier. Splendid. Really don't see why they follow this pattern of making OP cards at the start of an expansion that outweigh newer and more relevant raiding gear. But whatever that just means I'm not as tempted to snag it off of heroic Baelroc this week /shrug

[warlockSTAR]

So DM:V > H NF > Rune > N NF for affliction correct?

Just to quote Blizzard on the change on Unheeded warning for cats: " We dont want a trinket that is that easy to get and is from an older content, to outweigh trinkets from the newer raid-tier"
Now i ask you, what sense DMCV makes...

Where does Moonwell Chalice stand in all this i am Demo specced

[Inshabel]

HBell still sims higher then Rune for me.

[kosuko]

if DMC or NF (hc) is 2nd on your bis list.. and you compare that spot to the moon.. moonwell chalice is about halfway in there.

It's nothing new. I used DMC:Greatness (ilvl 200 trinket) on my hunter (agi) and my paladin (str) both until ICC. Eat that gearsluts.

Affliction: DMC: V + Rune of Zeth
Demo: DMC: V + Moonwell trinket
Destro: DMC: V + Necromantic Focus


The "nerf" was just a tooltip update, nothing else.

[Inshabel]

Really? NF for Destro?
