It was scaling retardedly. If its the roundhouse you're talking about. Now its going to be more on the base of the rest of the traits like most other classes have. Its going to make picking azerite traits less painful for you. You're welcome

[Tradu]

The nerfs were all warranted. Only thing that's missing now is buffs to all the remaining garbage traits.

[Honik]

Im glad they nerfed that crap, having 340 item over 370/385 just because of trait is bullshit

[Revamp Man]

I'm ok with the roundhouse nerf

Its still strong

Blizzard tones down the three DPS spec outliers with brokenly OP Azerite traits, bringing them closer back in line with everyone else...

And people are upset by this?

What the fuck.

"FU Blizz, I rolled this FOTM character for nothing?"
That's what I'm hearing

Off course they are upset, they just rolled this class and didn't even finished fishing for broken traits... and now they are nerfed?! wtf blizz?!

Goes along the lines of "you can give a person everything he/she wants and they'll still find a reason to bitch".

[Morssoe]

I wish they added frenzy duration more.

It's a bad situation made worse by a terrible system. Nerfing it is the right thing to do but it is going to suck given how much of a pain it is to farm azerite gear given its bizzare restrictions on where and how it drops. Going back to mythic 0 when your used to farming ten for traits sucks.

ye, because WW is topping damage charts all over the warcraftlogs

and the only trait that was doing reasonable amount of dmg was nerfed and nothing was buffed

[Sixy]

The trait was broken, the class was most certainly not.

I was talking about nerfs in general, as was the guy I replied to, but ok

Nobody likes to be nerfed, even when its warranted.

Its like receiving a speeding ticket. You know you deserved it, but you still don't like it.

Of course they are because it means hoping for azerite drops all over again without the possibility to actually farm them. That is the problem with Azerite gear and with what those changes imply: From now on you have to keep ALL azerite gear you find because traits can randomly get changed. It was different with artifacts because people where stuck with them either way and buffing / nerfing traits only had implications on the class, not on all the items people are wearing.

[micwini]

While I don't know exactly what this is about, if you need to nerf something by FIFTY FIVE 55%, it is probably fucking overpowered, no matter what talent you have.

[Adlian]

Nerf the good traits and leave the bad ones bad, good logic.

To be fair, people should've been keeping all azerite pieces anyway in case something like this happened.

No shit, everyone knows traits are still being tuned as there have been SEVERAL passes done so far

If you've been chucking your other pieces because you got "BIS" ones, while this tuning is still ongoing, thats your fault

Did you forget artifacts had RELICS that had traits on them? You couldn't chop and change your relics at all, which made balancing the traits even more problematic because you couldn't just swap relics around like Azerite pieces and traits because they got DESTROYED when you overwrote them.

I was a Sin rogue at the start of Legion, and I fully enjoyed the 3 x Master Assassin meta that took months to tone down, because it couldn't be done easily without totally shafting people.

Here they have options, because the PLAYERS have options. Your favourite trait got nerfed? No worries, swap to another one? Something else got buffed? Swap to that!
