Covenant Legendary Tuning

Based on our testing and community feedback, we’ve concluded that several of these new Legendaries could use some adjustments to make them more balanced choices. We’re preparing the following changes in a hotfix that we’ll test on the PTR soon.

Death Knight
  • Kyrian - Final Sentence: Damage per stack increased to 3% to 15% (was 2% to 10%), and duration increased to 18 seconds (was 10 seconds).
  • Night Fae - Rampant Transference: Strength gain increased to 2% per stack (was 1% per stack).
  • Venthyr - Insatiable Hunger: Base damage increased by 12%.

Demon Hunter
  • Night Fae - Blazing Slaughter: Now grants 4% agility per target struck (was 3%).
  • Venthyr - Agony Gaze: Extends the duration of Sinful Brand by 0.75 seconds (was 0.5 seconds).

Druid
  • Kyrian - Kindred Affinity: Bonus stats now give 8% (was 5%), and Mastery Rating given is now 150 (was 100).
  • Night Fae - Celestial Spirits: Convoke the Spirits’ duration reduced by 25% (was a 50% reduction).

Hunter
  • Night Fae - Fragments of the Elder Antlers: Proc chance increased to 100% when fewer than 5 targets are hit.
  • Venthyr - Pouch of Razor Fragments: Bleed increased to 60% (was 35%), and radius increased to 12 yards (was 8 yards).

Priest
  • Kyrian - Spheres’ Harmony: Cooldown reduction increased to 3 seconds (was 2 seconds) and cap increased to 80 seconds (was 60 seconds).
  • Venthyr - Shadow Word: Manipulation: Gain 5% Critical Strike for each second remaining for 10 seconds (was 3%).

Mage
  • Kyrian - Harmonic Echo: Echo damage increased to 30% (was 25%).
  • Night Fae - Heart of the Fae: Buff duration increased to 15 seconds (was 10 seconds).
  • Venthyr - Sinful Delight: Cooldown reduction increased to 4 seconds (was 3 seconds).

Monk
  • Necrolord - Bountiful Brew: Procs per minute increased to 1.5 (was 1.25).
  • Venthyr - Sinister Teachings: Cooldown reduction increased to 5 seconds (was 3 seconds).

Rogue
  • Night Fae - Toxic Onslaught: Buff duration increased to 12 seconds (was 8 seconds).
  • Venthyr - Obedience: Versatility granted reduced to 0.5% per stack of Flagellation (was 1% per stack).

Shaman
  • Kyrian - Raging Vesper Vortex: Damage increased by 50%.
  • Night Fae - Seeds of Rampant Growth: Crit bonus increased to 4% (was 3%).
    • For Enhancement Shamans: Feral Spirits cooldown reduction increased to 9 seconds (was 7 seconds).
  • Necrolord - Splintered Elements: Increased Haste bonus to 8% (was 5%).

Warlock
  • Venthyr - Contained Perpetual Explosion: Impending Catastrophe’s damage increase has been increased to 125% (was 75%).

Warrior
  • Venthyr - Sinful Surge: Condemn now extends the duration of Recklessness by 1.5 seconds (was 2 seconds).

    But it retains the 1 minute CD reduction? That would pretty sure make it the best legendary, pity those moonkins that switched to Venthyr.

    If it retains the ability to pick a powerful spell then yes. This will easily put it in the BiS category.

    at least this time the nerfs come before we can craft them. i will wait a bit longer to see if mythic brings more nerfs.

    People are going to be super mad when they realize that in 9.2 we will probably beable to wear both and all the people that discarded their previous leggos will have to remake them.

    Blizzard really loves Signet of Tormented Kings so they're just gonna force us to use it the whole expansion.
    They also hate it if there's a glimmer of hope for warrior ST dmg.

    I think people are reading it wrong (cause it is confusing). By reducing the duration it is going to a 3 second channel instead of 2, it will fire 12 spells instead of the 8 it had. Original Convoke (for moonkin) is 16 spells over 4 seconds. So it is adding 1 second to the previous lowered channel time but keeping it on the 1 min cd.

    Right, effectively before the biggest benefit for this Legendary was the added bonus of always firing a "big" spell (Full Moon) every other cast and lowering the CD to 1 minute. Now it'll presumably still do that, but also fire 25% more spells while still being on a 1 minute CD. That's a pretty nice trade off imo.

    The full moon using that shuffle rng system it remains to be seen how many full moons it will toss out. But at least the balance druid discord is still believing this lego will be far weaker than the venthyr one (not that I'm changing, I like convoke). So we'll see how good it really is.

    I mainly play in M+ so this change makes this Legendary quite appealing.

    I like Pulsar for M+ but I'd much rather use the new covenant one so I am hoping this change makes it as good as Pulsar (and hoping for far better)

    If a legendary items makes the game too complicated for you i pity you tbh.

    Blizzard, as one of the 15 Venthyr Warlocks left, I BEG you to A. Let impending catastrophe be instant cast and B. Make it’s legendary at all viable. Give it an increase to haste/crit on explosion. Something! It’s the only warlock covenant legendary that doesn’t also include a stat increase. It’s ridiculous how much they hate the idea of the Venthyr Warlock.
