Full Tier 9 in 8 days, 12 days for fresh 80s

[Whowantstoknow]

Its both:

We balance some things around absolute values (we're shooting for a target) and other things around relative values (how X looks compared to Y). A lot of shaman were saying they weren't going to upgrade to tier 10 despite the, frankly, gratuitous stats on the new gear. We concluded that was because the T9 set bonus was too good and the T10 set bonus was too weak. We suspected the T9 was too good for some time, but didn't want to nerf it while the T9 was all that was available. We did the same thing with a few other sets (or relics).

On live it is

"Increases the damage done by your Lava Burst spell by 20%."

It was nerfed for PvP to

"Your Lava Burst spell causes your target to burn for an additional 20% of your spell's damage over 6 seconds."

Then nerfed for Pve

"Your Lava Burst spell causes your target to burn for an additional 10% of your spell's damage over 6 seconds."
