Tier 14 pre-pull 10% damage buff hotfixed

[Deleted]

It's no longer working for destruction on target dummys the buff is removed upon entering combat is it just me?

[Harsesis]

Yea it looks like they implemented some kind of check on entering combat to make sure 4pc T14 is still equipped.

[Nerraw]

I wonder how they got that idea... *cough 5 million CBs *cough*

Soulswap protector like fights is the ultimate whack a mole. Holy crap is that the most boring thing I have ever done in this game.

Indeed, they should add a SoulSwap CD of 8sec IMO.

I actually find this playstyle less boring than the normal one at protectors, but it might be just me.

This would make us turn a lot more towards the "normal" way of multidoting, which I actually liked a lot more, but then they should also let every corruption have a chance of proccing nightfall again.

I really hate the Soulswap playstyle. It just adds too much proc dependency, and too big of a delta in your DPS from week to week. I'll be happy to see it go.

Wait, so people have been equipping and switching an old tier-set to get more DPS? Can someone give me the lowdown on this?

I'm curious too. I guess activating DarkSoul doesn't flag u for combat thus allowing for gear swaps pre-pull. Lol thats insane!

Warlock
Armor Set
Resolved an issue where Warlocks were able to incorrectly retain their Tier-14 4-piece set bonus when the armor is no longer equipped.

I am going to laugh if they only addressed 4pT14 set and not 2pT15... it would be so Blizz like....

[cabana]

2piece T15 works.

Yeah, unclear what's happening here.

I thought the angle was just activating dark soul and taking advantage of the reduced cooldown.

But, it seems like people were activating the 10% bonus and for some reason it didn't fade on a
gear switch.

Would be nice if someone was kind enough to explain.

When Archimonds Darkness was changed to give Dark Soul two charges, Blizz redesigned the old T14 4 piece that reduced Darksoul cooldown and replaced it with a 10% damage while active buff. The buff was not tied to the gear and did not go away when you swapped to your T16 gear.

You traded Precast and a bit of darksoul up time for 10% more dmg on the initial application.

If only everyone could summarize things so lucidly, you sir are a gentleman.

[Nerfarien]

Surprised? :P Was coming, it was certain.
Now if they would only fix the pala pre-pull HP whoring... ( i know it isnt that much of a deal, but still)

[Stumpurin]

You could do this same thing with the T11 prot paladin 4-set. You would use GoAK with 4set on and then switch back to normal gearset and still get increased duration on GoAK. I haven't played my paladin for months, but I just checked and this trick doesn't work anymore either.
