9.1 Boomkin Covenant

[huth]

It is still only 8 seconds 40% losing 5% each second is 8 seconds. 24% losing 3% each second is 8 seconds.

So was - 40 -> 35 -> 30 -> 25 -> 20 -> 15 -> 10 -> 5 -> 0
Now its - 24 -> 21 ->18 -> 15 -> 12 -> 9 -> 6 -> 3 -> 0

So how is this a longer term buff?

It was 40-32-24-16-8-0.

... You do know that you currently lose 8% per second, yes? So the buff ends in 5 seconds.

Additionally, it was hard to get usage out of it without high haste levels, with most of the crit benefiting only during convoke. You essentially have to get sub-1 second cast times on your spells to really get good usage out of BoAT outside of Convoke.

Now you don't need as much haste to fully benefit from BoAT. Though there may be weird haste breakpoints with BoAT where hitting that lets you get in 1 extra spell compared to normal.

This is ridiculously wrong...

Wow im retired. But those are some crazy nerfs.
No more perma cast while moving and balance of all things is now 24%? It was 50 or 60% at the start, lol

It was 40% at the start. BoAT was smoothed out overall and should provide overall more damage in every situation EXCEPT during Convoke.

So, yes I read it wrong, my numbers are way off. Shit happens.

50% going down in 10% steps. They nerfed it to 40% fairly quickly, though.

And I'm back.

So, based on the discussion here I am assuming BoAT is still going to be the top raid lego, correct?

Until u get urself a good amount of crit BoAt will be best. But The covenant legendary is pretty strong.
U get the mastery Buff. Moor big moons. But lesser spells yet 1 min CD. Wich lines up better with CA/Convoke and prolly use trinket.
Im curious how it will work out with more gear.

The real issue of SL balance is Eclipse, a fundamental problem that can’t be solved by borrowed power buffs or nerfs.
