Recommended Posts

Blizzard have detailed some big changes coming to the Hunter bow, Neltharax, Enemy of the Sky Neltharax, Enemy of the Sky, as it's main ability is getting replaced entirely. We also get a peek into next week's Hunter tuning changes.

Hunters,

Neltharax, Enemy of the Sky is going to be changed in patch 10.0.7. The bow has a bonus effect on it that was intended to be a boost to the Hunter’s auto-shot damage when shooting a single target, and we still want to keep it that way. The special effect from the bow was not intended to also increase the melee auto-attack speed of any summoned pets. The power gain from this special Equip effect, in addition to its rarity, has made a pretty big divide between Hunters who have this bow, and Hunters who don’t. We’re changing the bow to have an equip effect that increases your auto-attack damage, rather than auto-attack speed. This auto-attack damage bonus will only affect you, the Hunter, and your own auto-shot damage – nothing from your pets will be increased from having this special bow. We recognize that the power gain of this bow was very large, and are tuning up some Hunter abilities to compensate for the changes made to the bow.

Here is the new equip effect of the bow:

Tuning changes planned for patch 10.0.7, and will likely be in your next PTR build.

All Specs:

  • Serpent Sting damage increased by 25%
  • Death Chakram damage increased by 100%

Beast Mastery Hunter:

  • Kill Command damage + 25%
  • Barbed Shot damage + 25%
  • Stomp damage + 25%
  • Cobra Shot damage + 50%

Marksmanship Hunter:

  • Arcane Shot and Chimaera Shot damage + 25%
  • Multi-Shot damage + 15%

As a reminder, numbers are still subject to change. Thank you all.

P.S. I hope you are still having nice weekends.

This isn't a "fun detected" nerf. It's a "this is completely broken and never should have gone live in the first place" nerf.

The Raz bow isn't just better than other bows. It's an absolutely MASSIVE DPS increase over the second best bow. To the point where even the LFR version beats out mythic weapons. This change should have been made ages ago.

What's 'fun' about having a 99 parse for yourself on a FrMage and a 99 parse BM hunter in your raid, only they do 10k more damage simply because the bow doesn't work the way it was designed to?

...unless of course you get massive Brain Freeze procs, and we all know how easy it is to get a pull with a quintillion procs.

The biggest change from this change, its that bestial wrath will be used a lot less on PVE combat, since the atk speed buff made reseting barbed shot a lot more consistent (and in some cases, even reaching a perma BW with high haste and crit builds).

I would change most of those damage gains for a higher proc chance to reset barbed shot, or a higher CD reduct per barbed shot cast, to counter-act this aspd nerf.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
