Patch 8.0.1 PvP Hotfixes - September 6

Khor, Hammer of the Guardian Hotfix Update

This was (and still is) a bug, but our initial response to discovering the issue had unfair consequences for players who had innocently earned and equipped what appeared to be a great weapon. We’re going to revert the change and proceed with a new fix that only lowers the item level of new drops.

Once this fix is live, anyone who had earned the weapon before our original hotfix should find that it has been restored to its original glory. If you’ve since deleted the weapon after it changed, you can restore it via our CS tools or contact CS directly for assistance.

    I was 100% sure azerite traits would get 30-50% nerf against players.

    Now let's hope they bring arms discs and bms to the fking ground so all the fotm rerollers have to start all over again

    how is arms overperforming and ret isnt?

    Big bug that this caused: The mana regen change makes all healers lose a lot of mana over time in BG's, at least in lower brackets (haven't tried max lvl yet). In the 60-69 BG bracket all healers lost 150 mana per second as soon as they "rezz" etc.

    Balance is based on 3v3 not 1v1 performance.

    Interesting that you try to burn me using the fact that your overpowered class just got nerfed because they were ridiculously op.

    I bet it sounded cool and edgy in your head before you pressed that post button.

    You do you!

    as a Sub rogue - I needed a nerf, not really worried about what they did though. If you didn't have trinket up I was going to kill you with two dances + mark in about 5 seconds, it'll probably take around 15 now.

    I find it hillarious that they keep putting off nerfing disc priests since the pre patch, I'm sure they will finally adress them next time .

    Me do me? How 'bout don't complain when it's not YOUR class this time that is op? That shit goes in cycles. How 'bout when your main is OP, you post heartily in favor of nerfing them for all to see!

    And who still says edgy???
