Fix legion raid scaling

[doodle90]

Second legion raid scaling.

[DrIvoRobotnik]

Ah yes, wind-monk buffs. Because 4v1ing people in PvP wasn't enough.

[gaaara]

err....that cyclone...changes...i get why...but....

[Drejjmit]

Fix legion raid scaling

[gutnbrg]

why buff dmg? bring other dmg down to match them....tired of getting 3 shot

[Balrog]

I like how they fixed Parasoling achievement tracking when the problem was all along with the Ramparts Racer achievement tracking.

[thunderdragon2]

where are buffs for the 2weakest spec when this hits aka bm and sv?

[kosajk]

Ah yes, wind-monk buffs. Because 4v1ing people in PvP wasn't enough.

they just buffed 2h to be more on par with 1h no direct buff to dmg from what im aware off

tbh balance convoke buff without some nerf is interesting thing tho :P
Playing arenas with 150% focus to interrupt 1 skill or die is somewhat strange
Especially that it can be used by class that can stealth fu!@ you :P

[Seldomisxd]

[With regional restarts] Convoke the Spirits (Night Fae Ability) no longer attempts to cast spells at targets affected by Cyclone and will no longer ignore targets affected by crowd control abilities that break on damage, such as Entangling Roots or Mass Entanglement.

It looks like a joke, they oneshot everyone now it even stronger...

[vashe9]

still no changes to BM hunter YET THEY BUFF BOOMKIN ? I seriously dont get it, so +20% dps for MM is normal ? What the **** is this ***

- - - Updated - - -

There is a nerf. It will now happily break any breakable CCs it can find.

[kodemonkee]

Assa got a buff but the other classes too, so nothing changes, Assa will still be at the bottom, lol nice one.

[cateran100]

As always it makes me really hard to believe it went through any kind of testing...Pet pathcontrol is crap, third of the WQ-s bugged one way or another or so poorly designed no words to describe it (skinning WQ for example) and class balance is.....Well it was never too good, but Jesus fking Christ....now it is simply nonexistent...

[Stacie]

Still waiting for the buffs to Havoc DH (PVP & PVE), and a nerf to multiple NF covenant abilities and the Kryian Vengeance DH ability. Paladins in PVP could use a looking at also with the self healing and team healing and possibly rogues with 1 shot macros.

Would rather see stuff "buffed up" than "nerfed down". But a few things just seem so broken that buffing others up would create more imbalance issues. More easy to tone them down a little.

[Tiwack]

Always thought it was weird how rooting a target and then casting convoke would result in 0 dmg - especially in torghast with all the powers buffing roots.

[kosajk]

m8 i would prefer to be in cc than being obliterated in < 3 secs
next step should be ignoring pets and se how pure druids arenas looks like

[Eapoe]

Still no fixes for PvP imbalances, legacy raids, Covenant XP missions disappearing when too many campaign adventures completed...the list goes on.
