Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13860
A new build will be deployed on test realms today! This build is a Release Candidate (marked as "Release") and it means that the patch will hit the live servers within the next few weeks. (As I said, last week of April/first week of May is very likely)

    The constant nerfs to guild achievements irritate me. Not in the meaning of QQ, I just think that this creates a situation where active guilds will be "finished" pretty quickly. And then what? I expected them to introduce new/continued guild achievements in the next expansion, but at this rate, they'd have to do that nearly every content patch.

    The Grounding Totem change is more significant than the Earth Shield change. It's effectively a nerf, not a buff.

    I'm not sure what you mean. Slight buff to resto yeah, but the grounding totem changes are straight nerf. Our cooldown is getting increased all around. I'm not crying about it, even as a shaman main, but it's definitely on the nerf end of the nerf/buff spectrum.

    We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat now requires the guild to fish 25,000 fishes, down from 50,000.

    Wouldn't that be "Fish"?

    The buffs to Rage of Rivendare is welcome, but it still won't tip Scourge Strike over Necrotic Strike in PvP.

    Unholy needed a small buff in PvE though to compete with Frost's free death runes.

    Nice to see more logical guild achievement criteria, some of them was unrealistic for medium guilds

    Glad to see the guild achievement changes, those were a bit ridiculous...

    Stuff like increased CD on spellreflect and grounding totem is just good. Maybe I can finally cast something against them instead of spamming instant and rotating cds and cc to put some kind of pressure.

    Glad to see more Shamys nerfs, they are clearly OP in PvP right now. /s

    Kinda like the selfless healer change.....juggleing two 30sec buffs based on HP procs was not something I was looking forward too lol
  1. retpally's Avatar
    They reverted the Selfless Healer cooldown because EJ pointed out a 30sec 12% increase to all damage was a PVE buff, which would force PVE rets to dedicate 2/3 of their rotation outside of procs to managing two passive damage buffs. Super lame.

    Reverting SH dodges the PVE bullet but it still remains largely useless in PVP.
    I love how it's basically a dispellable trash buff we have to talent for that can only be applied once every 20sec lol.
