Blizzard today pushed hotfixes on the MoP Classic PTR with survivability buffs for Blood Death Knights.
You will find the full hotfix notes below.
With hotfixes to the PTR this week:
Death Knight
- Blood
- Mastery: Blood Shield now benefits from positive %healing modifiers like Vampiric Blood. This only affects positive healing modifiers and does not apply to PvP.
- Death Strike’s new attack power Ratio for healing increased to 5% of attack power (was 2%).
- Developers’ notes: This value benefits from Scent of Blood Stacks, % Healing Modifiers (new), and scales with Vengeance. Death Strike’s Healing in MoP is capped at 35% of the player’s Health before healing modifiers, and this has always been the case for MoP Death Strike.
- Raise Dead once again benefits from Vengeance.
- Developers’ notes: This was not completely removed before and was still present for all of 5.5.2 and 5.5.1. This does not extend to Army of the Dead as those Ghouls still do not benefit from Vengeance.
- Developers’ notes: None of the changes above apply to PvP.
