Dragonflight 10.2 PTR Class Tuning: October 24th

Recommended Posts

75136-very-rare-drops-from-amirdrassil-r

This week's PTR changes come in the form of class tuning hotfixes, with almost exclusively healing specs affected. So we may see another, bigger change later today or during the week as well. 

Blizzard Logo10.2 PTR (Source)

Hello everyone. The below changes will be applied to the Guardians of the Dream PTR as hotfixes over the course of this week:

CLASSES

  • Demon Hunter
    • Vengeance
      • Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible (4) Set Bonus – Souls required to trigger Recrimination increased to 60 (was 20).
      • Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible (4) Set Bonus – Duration of Fiery Brand applied by Set Bonus reduced to 3 seconds (was 6 seconds).
  • Monk
    • Mistweaver
      • Blackout Kick damage increased by 15%. Does not apply in PvP combat.
      • Tiger Palm damage increased by 50%. Does not apply in PvP combat.
      • Spinning Crane Kick damage increased by 5%.
      • Faeline Stomp healing and damage increased by 150% (was 100%).
      • Ancient Teachings of the Monastery may now stack up to 4 times (was 3).
      • Essence Font now heals 5 targets (was 6).
      • Essence Font healing increased by 40%.
      • Developers’ note: We aren’t looking to heavily push Essence Font rotationally in Guardians of the Dream, but it’s total healing output has fallen further behind than is comfortable and this may help Faeline Stomp’s initial heal feel more impactful.
  • Paladin
    • Holy
      • Healing reduced by 8% (was 5%).
      • Holy Prism heal increased by 40%.
      • Blessing of Sacrifice now splits 20% of all damage (was 30%).
  • Priest
    • Discipline
      • Developers’ note: We are doing another damage reduction pass on Discipline Priest, as our previous change was not significant enough to bring Discipline closer in line to other healers. This should bring them much closer to other healers while still retaining the ability to deal reasonably high damage as one of their strengths.
      • Sins of the Many increases damage by 20% (was 40%).
      • Atonement heals for 40% of damage done (was 35%).
    • Holy
      • Fixed an issue that caused Holy Word: Sanctify to hit 6 targets instead of 5.
      • Symbol of Hope now reduces the cooldown of major defensives by 30 seconds (was 40 seconds).
      • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope (4) Set Bonus – Proc chance reduced by 10%.
    • Shadow
      • Shadow Word: Pain damage increased by 17%. Not applied to PvP combat.
      • Shadow Apparition damage increased by 17%. Not applied to PvP combat.
      • Vampiric Touch damage increased by 25%. Not applied to PvP combat.
      • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope (4) Set Bonus – Now increases the initial damage of your next cast of Shadow Word: Pain by 225% (was 200%).
  • Shaman
    • Restoration
      • All healing increased by 3%.
      • Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope (4) Set Bonus – Now increases the healing of Riptide by 25% (was 20%) and has a 6% chance to create a new Riptide (was 5%).

Closer 10.2 gets the more stoked I'm getting for arms warrior and chasing the legendary.

I tanked a dungeon last night as prot warr and it was a blast. Feel like a block of metal getting hammered but standing firm.

:D

Not broken in the fun way unfortunately, I believe it's their tier set impacting their core rotation to make it feel awful

      The limited time Remix event just got a lot less deadly, as Blizzard fix another bug. Certain high level boss abilities were doing double damage, but a hotfix has cleared that all up! 
      Remix (Source)
      With a hotfix that we applied a few minutes ago, we’ve fixed a bug that was causing some high-level boss abilities to unintentionally do double damage to players.
      For players who have been inside an instance since before the hotfix went out, there will be no change until you leave and start a new instance.
      Thank you for your reports and feedback!

      Players without the Dragonflight expansion have been having trouble after reaching level 60in the MoP Remix event. Their characters would become locked, as levels 60 and up were part of the Dragonflight expansion, so there was quite a bit of confusion since the event wasn't supposed to require the latest expansion. 
      Luckily Blizzard have now clarified that this was a bug, and have since resolved it!

      We believe that this issue has been fixed with an update that we deployed with realm restarts earlier this morning.

      Our latest mount preview from the War Within Alpha covers Shadow Elementals. KSM mounts, anyone?
      Blizzard hasn't officially confirmed any KSM mounts for War Within yet, but we've already seen two tints for the upcoming Gladiator mounts. It wouldn't surprise us if these turn out to be War Within Keystone Master mounts for the upcoming seasons. So far, we have three tints: black, gold, and purple.
      Black

      Gold

      Purple
