Regarding Hammer of Wrath hitting 50% less on PTR vs on Live.

This is actually a bug. A very non-excessive, non-stealthy bug. There was small coding change in the latest PTR build that caused Hammer of Wrath, a ranged ability, to use ranged attack power instead of melee attack power. The change itself was completely unintended and has since been corrected.

That said, we're still watching paladin damage (both sustained and burst), and if we feel that further adjustments need to be made, Hammer of Wrath may actually be a good candidate.


I hope the mastery change will bring the rets back. We desperately need that damage. 1800+ teams in arena are getting tougher. 4k Resilience shaman is just unkillable, not to mention the dps with individual / group CC just keeps peeling me off. I tried to go with more healing, more defense, ended up losing more. Going back to suicide style.
