PTR Development Notes - Build 23753

This week’s PTR update contains mostly tuning changes, which include some of the mechanisms around the Broken Shore, but also a large round of adjustments to Legendary items. These adjustments are part of our overall goal to bring Legendaries more in line with each other in terms of value, particularly in how their benefits apply to your primary role (tanking, DPS, or healing).

This first round of adjustments is not comprehensive - in fact, we’ve already made some additional changes since this build was put together, and we expect tuning to continue as part of an ongoing process. Still, we’d greatly appreciate your feedback on these changes, as well as on any other Legendaries that are still in need of tuning. We’ve created a separate thread here with more details on exactly what changes have been made.

Thanks, and happy testing!

PTR Realms will be coming down today in order to deploy a new 7.2.0 build. No ETA for today's push but I'll ping the thread if things look like they're going to take longer than usual.

As always, I'll leave this thread open for discussion so long as conversations remain civil and adhere to forum guidelines.

Thanks for your patience everyone!

    Seems legit.


    They never said they were going to buff crap legendaries, they said they were going to make changes to close the gap between them.

    I keep looking at this wrong in thinking the devs are stubborn. I have come to the point that I just feel that they are actually stupid. It takes a complete moron to not fix this messed up system in a proper manner by now.

    Nerfing aff locks shitty traits. AWESOME. Thanks guys. Go fuck yourselves.

    ret pally bracers already sucked and now they shield you for half as much, so now they suck twice as much?
  1. f3llyn's Avatar
    I like how they just slapped crit onto all the bad warrior legendaries. Crit being by far the most useless stat to all 3 warrior specs.

    Adding crit to them does literally nothing to make them more appealing.

    Drinking Horn Cover
    The duration of Storm, Earth, and Fire is reduced by 0.4 seconds (was 0.6 seconds) for every Chi you spend.

    seems legit...
    wasnt it 1.1 second before and ofc increased duration?!

    Another one of those people who seriously underestimates Prydaz.

    It's a typo, item says .4s extension per chi for SEF and .3 extension per chi for Serenity.

    ---
    Shitty napkin math
    ---
    Curently:
    2 charges, 15s duration, 1min 30s CD per charge
    Average of 17 chi would be +10.2s per charge
    basically looking at a 25-26s duration per charge, giving it an effective 1min 5s cd per charge
    Over a 10 minute fight looking at 10 SEF.

    In 7.2 with trait:
    2 charges, 15s Duration, 1minute 18s CD per charge
    Average of 17 chi would be +6.8s per charge
    looking at a 21-22 second duration per charge, giving an effective cooldown of 57 seconds per charge
    Over a 10 minute fight looking at 10 SEF.
    ---
    So you looking basically the same number of SEF uses, but you're looking at losing around 4 seconds of SEF per use, and about 40 seconds of SEF uptime over a 10 minute encounter.

    I think it would have been easiest if all legendaries would have utility and fun effects only (and higher stats of course), and were more thought for open world situations and dungeons. It is impossible to give every legendary unique effect that is balanced with all other effects but if its just utility or fun skills then it doesnt matter as end game guilds wont have any use of these yet will probably want legendary for that extra high stats which are easier to balance.

    Mate, I'm already Usain Bolt on my Blood DK with Stride and Sephuz. This will make me the fastest DK in the world.

    So many of the items just got another stat added to them. I feel atleast some of them could have had a more "fun" change made to them. Roots of Shaladrassil, which heals you when standing still, could have gotten a X% dmg increase when standing still aswell, I think it would fit the idea behind the legendary.

    They nerfed the side effect which is only useful if you're failing at your task of staying out of bad in favour of buffing it's actual DPS output.

    Shield of Vengeance does damage, if you haven't noticed.
