Every single Azerite Trait nerfed by 50% in PvP

[Big Thanks]

Before i start freaking out and calling names.

Question:

-Does the new 400's item levels increase the power of the azerite traits by at least 50%? So the nerf evens out and now we do the same damage than the previous patch?

Now...let me freak out for a second

For the love of sweet baby Jesus, who thought this was a good idea?
We are supposed to get stronger in a RPG.
This is making customization less exciting for everyone.

"Oh nice, i just got an awesome trait"
"Its nerfed 50% in PvP bro"
"DAMN"

I have already experienced this in last patch.
I farmed all azerite traits i wanted in one day. I felt excited and full of joy...to find later it was nerfed by 50% in PvP....
ANd guess what i felt like CRAP.

And now you are telling me this entire patch will be like this for me? I will constantly feel like crap?

Alot of traits were problematic in PvP considerin the lower healthpool compared to PvE, makes sense that they need to be weaker. I mean just look at warlocks instantly killing someone at the start of Bfa with that life drain trait or shamans not dying with ghost wolf.

But every single trait?
Without any kind of human consideration if is overpowered or not.

Just BAM 50% to all!

I mean, I know I’d prefer them entirely disabled in instanced PvP a la Legiondaries, but I’ll take this instead as a decent compromise

You do get stronger still. There is a new ring that is a DPS boosting power on all those pieces AND they are a higher ilevel. This just keeps their relative strength improvement in line to what it was prior to the addition of the new ring. You are still getting stronger but just not doubly so.

But the health pools also doubled...i dont understand...

This is just another change to make Blizzard save time in balancing the game.
First was the destruction of talent trees to save resources.
Now is 50% nerf to all azerites to save resources.

This is just so lazy...

I LOVE azerites.
And to see this nerf....is just diminishing my excitment for every azerite piece....

[Lazuli]

Gods forbid they let you actually do dps to a target dummy I mean healer xD

Pvp is more of a joke in BfA than it was in Legion, relax its not like anyone is playing it anyway!

I AM
1000 arenas this season played...only 1850 rating, but still i had tons of fun.

I love azerites
I love PvP

This change...only reduces my excitment for customization

[unbound]

Let's be completely honest here...PvP in WoW is horribly broken. The only people that really enjoy PvP in WoW anymore are those who don't play any other PvP game.

Customization in PvP is largely overrated.

Honestly I was poking your love for Azerite traits.

I'm genuinely curious though, what deep customization is being offered by Azerite traits?

[Kralljin]

I mean it kinda makes sense...adding another ring basically doubles the amount of azerite traits, a 50% nerf should keep the powerlevel overall similiar.

[f4ncybear]

Blue post says it overrides previous nerfs so I don't see how its anything more than increasing consistency so you don't have to go through hotfixes to see the status of a trait in PvP.

And had they not done it then the addition of the 5th ring basically would about double the DPS improvement from each piece of gear and potentially more so for some classes depending on the how good their azerite powers are. It seems knee jerk but I can't say after looking at what you can get on the 5 ring azerite pieces its not surprising. What is fine for DPS boost on critters with millions of HP is less so on players.

Good to know. Thanks for clarifying that.

That means Deadshot (rogue) is not nerfed 60% with another 50% on top of that?

So this means Deadshot is now only nerfed flat 50%?

EDIT: Forget, i was wrong, Deadshot was nerfed 45%, not 60%. For a second i thought this was a buff T_T

I love azerites

Some people love trump, and you are equally delusional

[Big Thanks]

Well...i dont love them now
Maybe i will be proven wrong with time and i will end up loving them again...but this nerf seems too much for me to handle.

seems so, but i would test it, tho. You did not read the blue post explaining it in full detail?

however, if something still got unbalanced like deadshot, blizz can still hotfixnerf it in addition to the 50% overall nerf.

So, in your own very interest, you should pray for the lazyness of pvp devs and stop complaining!
