Patch 8.2: Build 30613 - Conflict and Strife Changes

Recommended Posts

43601-patch-82-confict-and-strife-pvp-es

The latest 8.2 PTR build comes with changes to the recently-announced Conflict and Strife Essence.

Conflict and Strife is a new Essence added in Patch 8.2 which allows the use of one predetermined PvP talent in PvE. It was obvious that this one is going to be quite difficult to balance and here's the first pass of updates.

In 8.2 I plan to switch on and off WW monk and havoc DH , I knew that would be the trait for demon hunters and the monk trait isn’t that bad , both are increase in dps , but wouldn’t that one heart trait that provides a big bonus passive ( for demon hunters it’s to transform into meta for a few seconds) make this an incredible spec next patch cause it has the chance to keep you in meta about 60% of the boss fights because 2 minutes in pvp seems like 30 seconds , popping meta then eyebeaming adds to the duration right now so 4 minute CD , 30 seconds eyebeam turns to like 42 seconds .

Forgot to add to it .

Is the bear druid talent a typo? Incarnation is a standard talent, instead of a PvP one. I know bear needs the extra help but that doesn't sound quite right!

Yes, this is an error on my end, because I've mistakenly included the recent Vision of Perfection changes here even though this post covers Conflict and Strife. I've reverted the changes and both Guardian Druid / Brewmaster Monks remain unchanged. Thanks for the report.

      Today's retail hotfixes bring not only the Tindral Mythic nerf, but more Amirdrassil and dungeon changes, item improvements and quest fixes! No more tabard spam!

      You can also check out today's Season of Discovery hotfixes here.

      Dungeons
      Throne of the Tides Updated the model used by the Ink of Ozumat to reduce the visual effects at its base. Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope Smolderon Fixed an issue where players would sometimes gain multiple stacks of Ignited Essence from 1 Living Flame. Fixed an issue where a Seeking Inferno could explode twice on Mythic difficulty. Tindral Sageswift Fallen Feathers now spawn 6 feathers on Mythic Difficulty (was 4). Items
      Fixed an issue that caused the Large Renown bag of Dragon Isles Supplies to always unintentionally contain a Dream Wardens Tabard. Fixed an issue that could cause Gift of Urctos to fail to grant its bonuses. Quests
      Fixed an issue preventing “Something Different” from being properly completed by PvP Brawls. Fixed an issue causing a Hunt choice to be unintentionally greyed out for “Aiding the Accord: The Hunt is On”.

      Blizzard have detailed an upcoming nerf coming "soon" (presumably today) to the pendultimate boss of Amirdrassil Mythic. Players will now be getting 2 extra feathers so more can dragonride and grab the orbs, and especially to do more damage to the roots.
      Tindral (Source)
      With a hotfix that we’ll apply to the game soon:
      Tindral Sageswift Fallen Feathers now spawn 6 feathers (was 4) on Mythic Difficulty. And as always, this change will be listed later in our Hotfixes Update.

      A big week 3 in the dungeons, as we'd usually see things stabilizing by now, but the constant  class tuning is not letting things calm down. After last week's smaller tuning pass we had a big one hit this week, so things won't be staying as they are for long!
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      Augmentation keeps showcasing why its raid logs are very very wrong, as the completion-based charts sees them just not budging from the top! Fire moves up in the world as both it and Havoc move past Outlaw and form the top 3, as Demonology stands firm behind the Rogue. Assassination apparently isn't happy with just dominating raids, so it's gaining ground here as well, moving 2 spots up into 7th, same as  Beast Mastery in 8th. However, both specs got hit by the nerf bat this week so we'll see where they end up next time. Arcane and Enhancement close out the top 10, with the Mage dropping down and the Shaman moving up.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      The top 4 remains identical in the generalist bracket, as we see Demonology breaking up the monotony and pushing into a Mage sandwich in 5th. BM is up for now here as well, as Fury still does much better and closes out the top 10. The bottom 3 are similar to the above chart, with the rest of the Warlocks down in the dumps, but with Marksmanship joining them instead of Devastation.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Havoc reigns supreme in the actual DPS charts, quite a bit ahead of Demonology in second, which is basically tied with Beast Mastery in third! However, let's not forget the raw DPS numbers are not tracking Augmentation properly so let's imagine it up here somewhere as well, instead of down in the bottom 3. The two Rogues both remains stable in 4th and 5th as Arcane drops off a big 4 spots, leaving Enhancement in its 6 spot. Retribution and Survival also used this opportunity and moved up in the world, with the Paladin gaining a solid 3 spots and the Hunter a giant 8 in 8th! Fire is also on the rise with a 4-spot bump, just ahead of its fallen Mage brother.

      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.


      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      Today, we're looking at a video covering some scrapped Warlords of Draenor content.
      The video was created by Dovah the Explorer who shows off unused and untextured maps. Zones that were never finished or used for anything in the Warlords of Draenor expansion (with the exception of a few game objects / assets).
      We get to see unfinished zones like Karabor Interior.

      There's also an orcish city named Grommar that never went live.

      We also see a bunch of prototype garrisons for each zone that never went live, even a Tier 4 one with a cathedral.

      You can watch Dovah's video with more scrapped content below.
