I just logged on the PTR on my girlfriend's frostmage Tamyra (Sylvanas), and tried out several specs on the test dummies. I noticed critting lower than I used to and found that the frozen shadowweave gear got nerfed in it's spelldmg. The same goes for the frostdmg off-hand, and apparently for all specific dmg gear. Where there used to be 51 frost-spelldmg, now remains only 42 spellpower. As frostmage you could have just chosen the Spellfire set, to gain some crit instead of the stamina on Frozen Shadowweave. I sent a ticket to Blizzard about this, which is included at the bottom of the post. I know the coefficient for the spells didn't change, otherwise I'd be hitting higher. I think it's kinda weird they changed the element-specific spelldmg. Why can't we keep "frost spellpower" instead of the frost spelldmg that we have on Live? Tell me what you think.
Hi,
I noticed that by the conversion to spellpower my gear, frozen shadowweave, got nerfed. Why is there less spellpower than there used to be? And why not just call it frostpower? Why did I have to choose between three seperate tailoring talents if they're all the same now? Like you probably know these sets don't come cheap, so I feel a bit ripped off. Hope you will still change this, but you probably won't. Had over 1k spelldmg in my gear now i lost over 60/80 spelldmg while gaining nothing in return. I know spellpower may not be the same, but as I used to crit round 3800 on a frostbolt i'm critting in the 3600s now.
That's all,
Bye
