finally a resilience buff !

Quote from: Ghostcrawler (Source)
Just to clarify, the change to resilience affects ALL player damage. This includes both normal hits and crits. We wanted to keep the proportion of damage coming from hits and crits the same and just reduce damage across the board. Crit damage is lowered twice, but will still contribute the same proportion of damage as it does today.

Dots do receive a slight relative buff since they are no longer taxed more than other forms of damage.



Finally 5v5 won't be as insta-gibby! woot!

its 12.5% across the board now given 1000 resilience.

Basically it affects the white hits now which is a welcome addition.

wait, so resilience didnt affect crits?

Resilience used to reduce crit chance, up to a maximum value.
Resilience used to reduce the bonus extra damage on a crit, up to a maximum value (which was twice the crit reduction) amount.
Resilience used to reduce the total damage on dots.

Resilience is not changing with regards to reducing crit chance or reducing extra damage from crits.
The change is all non-crit hits will be reduced instead of only non-crit dot ticks being reduced.
So a rogue or warriors non-crit melee swings, a hunters non-crit bullets/arrows or a mage/warlocks non-crit spells will all be reduced slightly.

With max resilience 1240 its 15%.

I'm not sure I follow your logic... If it's harder to burst people down, thereby making healing more powerful since teams now have more survivability, I'd expect to see less 4 dps setups and more healing centric teams.

Im not sure I like this change then... Yes it makes cleave comps a little less powerful, but do we want longer arena games again? I wasnt interested in arena when it was whoever could not get bored and give up.

It's just like during all bc seasons, there was less damage so more people played 4 dps

bad for everyone as it nerfs damage as a whole, high crit damage users will see less of a change, including us, but we see a bigger hit because we almost all use 4 DPS instead of the traditional 3.
