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!

    there are better classes for cleave and aoe, WW has a that stupid mark of the crane buff they have to put up on adds and because if the shitty tab targetting atm its just not worth it for me sometimes, why the fuck am i targetting something thats thats underneath us in kara instead of the mobs infront of me. (Hopefully its getting fixed with the new targetting changes they made in PTR).

    I like the change to muze's they are kinda meh, but flash heal with 15% haste, that is tempting.

    Yeah, it's getting super old, but I think hell will freeze over before tab targetting is ever fixed.
    And as for the original reply, your sarcasm as to the WW nerfs did not convey properly to me, however I see now how you truly feel about this nonsense <3

    How often do you coordinate with your raid healers to let you drop down to 1 health for ~1.2M damage every 3 min (6,666 DPS)?

    100% agree , this crap has no business being a legendary item in the first place if you look at it like that .
    Completely useless for dps !!
    Repeal and replace ;-) !!!

    So other specs can have flat 5% increased damage legendaries or RNG legendaries that can peak even higher than that overall but Windwalker can't even have legendaries increase its DPS by 3%? What the hell is up with these bleeding nerfs to Katsuo's Eclipse and Drinking Horn Cover? This is unacceptable.
