    When I say damage modifiers I mean rune of power 15% or invocation 15% or demonology mastery or anything that increases damage done by XX%. That is what I mean by modifiers. It is confirmed that the cloaks proc is supposed to scale with damage modifiers, and it's working correctly on the tool-tip. However it doesn't actually reflect in the damage.

    Vynestra where is the confirmation of that =)

    I would presume that they would want to keep the cloak as equal for all specs as possible so they dont have another nightmare with scaling.

    Meta and T15 RPPM trinkets would definetly be enough for me lol

    I had lhivera (mage mvp) confirm it with them. I know for a fact he wouldn't just be blowing smoke at me. I can get the tweets if you really want.

    However you can log on make a mage, and look at the tool-tip of the cloak and see that it does indeed scale with damage modifiers.

    It scales with haste still fyi, all the procs. It scales with crit, why shouldn't it scale with classes who's mastery are damage modifiers?


    Kinda un-fair if it didn't. People who have HIGH crit will have it crit more often, people with HIGH haste will have it proc more often. So...

    And it's logical, especially this buff because they're class buff

    I don't want them to be making the cloak stronger to buff arcane mages, because not everyone will have the cloak. But the cloak will end up doing maybe 1-2% more than a fire mages cloak proc, MAYBE. Overall on a fight. It's not really gamebreaking, and it helps arcane a little in siege with all the heavy movement.

    Or they can do like Sinister meta: spec's modifier for balancing purpose.

    If they really wanted it THAT equal, they should just not make it scale with haste crit or mastery at that point.

    It's hardly a big deal that it'll scale with mastery. IF your mastery is a damage modifier like arcane/demo.

    However iirc, there aren't many specs that stack mastery over haste or crit. So it doesn't really affect many people. And like I said the crit/haste scaling kinda brings it up to par with the arcane mastery.

    I know frost w/ all the haste it has, will do as much as arcanes does with all the mastery dmg modifying it. Because it ends up proccing SO much.

    Sinister have a spec modifier not to compensate bad scaling but to help global balance between spec.
    Curious to see if they did the same for the cape.

    Was just on the Ptr and I noticed the Amp trinket is now 7% down from 14%. Anyone know why?

  10. #190
    Because 14% was absolutely broken in terms of stats given vs. it's item budget

    Even at 7%, it will be BiS or most

    It's still much better than any other trinkets. It is the only trinket proccing directly after combat start and the 7% is a lot better than 2k haste.

    I mean, for a fire mage, the amplify alone is more than 4-5% dps gain, while other comparable stats budgets are a lot less (2k haste just sucks compared to amplify, though both have the same item budget).

    They did not. I don't think they plan to either. Unlike the meta the cloak is pretty different. It's not an rppm that gives you a buff, it just does dmg. The cloak scales with haste and crit currently. If they didn't want it to scale w/ dmg modifiers they wouldn't have made it scale with haste or crit either. And just made it a baseline 200% sp for everyone, no crit and no haste scaling. However not the case.

    Melee meta gem wants a word with you. It's essentially the same idea as our current cloak. That said, I do believe they'll change the rate by spec again. Why wouldn't they? It's going to be disproportionately good on a couple of specs, they'll have to change the rates by spec. It'll just happen later. They're just barely starting numbers changes now.

    I haven't taken a look at the melee meta gem. But I'll have to.


    However from what i've seen mage wise currently. Frost gets a huge benefit from it, more than fire by a few %, that's without it scaling with invocation. Then fire gets 4-5%. Arcane without damage modifier scaling does like...2-4% tops.

    We'll see how well they tune it in the end, imo the cloak should do ~5% of your overall damage for every spec. That'd make it feel legendary, not 2%.

    7% is good in normal but in HC +Warforged 8-9% and upgrade you got 9% 10% Haste and Mastery not bad
