wow Aberuss Trinket Nerfs Coming in Patch 10.2

[Staff 1,182]

Blizzard have announced they will be nerfing Aberrus trinkets in patch 10.2 and have already applied the changes on the PTR. This is to avoid players having to run old content due to the relative power of the previous raid's trinkets. 

PTR (Source)

The Guardians of the Dream PTR has been updated with the following changes:

ITEMS

• Developers’ note: As players prepare to delve into Amirdrassil, we are adjusting several Aberrus trinkets to account for changes to tuning targets and philosophy as well as to mitigate effects which have proven simply too synergistic with class power. As with Vault of the Incarnates, we want to avoid scenarios where item power could drive players to continue running old content that they otherwise would leave behind.
  • Rashok's Molten Heart mana restore reduced by 70%, healing reduced by 50%, and Versatility reduced by 20%.
  • Beacon to the Beyond damage reduced by 11%.
  • Ominous Chromatic Essence secondary stat granted reduced by 5%.
  • Neltharion's Call to Dominance duration increased to 20 seconds (was 10 seconds), but primary stat granted reduced by 50%.

Ok. It's not like i want use them. I would choose instead Amirdrassil trinkets with higher ilvl.

Seems Blizzard is having another run-in repeat of Legion Tier Sets but this time w/ Trinkets.  Logically, yes you would choose for the higher ilvl and needed primary stat however some of the previous trinkets were outperforming the newer ones pending on Class, Spec, and Build in certain scenarios.

I still like using the Manic Grieftorch if only to grief fellow raiders when their deaths reduce the cooldown and i get to use it again }; )

I had so many funny moments with that thing in combination with the Manic Grieftorch aura which would auto whisper the people, which led to the final cooldown reduce with "Thank you for resetting my Manic Grieftorch!". 😄

Even went LFR for that thing, just to spam lazy people which die on stuff. Some even took it serious and whispered back with stuff like "No problem my man!". I hope they create a similar trinket in the future, even if its for a statproc or something.

Beacon to the Beyond has been very nice for "old" content.
Content Blizz left obsolete after a month or so (See Forbidden isle etc).

Sooooo I hope they give us that increased buff to solo this "old" content... ^^
