@oliviadgrace @ESpaeth @mlm430047 To be fair the tweet was "as early as the 27th." Could be later. But season will end on patch day.

Not that a date is ever set in stone until it actually happens, but they did announce earlier today that it would be 8/27:

Ya I saw the blizz post, I posted the tweet because it was posted by the pvp developer after the stuff on the blizz site. Confirmation is not confirmation until confirmation of the confirmation has taken place and until then we should wait for confirmation.


I really dont like these nerfs, I really liked the non ramp up on demand burst. The dmg overall is staying the same upped resil/bf and then upped ilvls from new gear, basically means dmg stays the same and only hit points are going up. With this dmg nerf and hps going up, ugh.

@Ravenswordx No, their damage was too high in both PvP and PvE. We nerfed SS largely because there have 30 different damage sources.

​Lol

[Kruschpakx4]

for sure we shouldnt overreact to this, just did ptr and yes ss and ll got nerfed

so after a couple of oneshots my new stormblast numbers on dummy were

mh:
102967
112268
110180
140672
132332
127717
133340
132067

offhand

67379
68352
54809
55301
62709
62719
73994
52442

so the avarage mh+oh is 123943+62213=186156, then we got about 33k and 16k windlash, 3-4 stormlash proccs doing 5-20k, 2 flametongue attacks doing ~11k together, so ~291k is the avarage oneshot damage without a lightning shield,windfury or any sort of crits, so we're doing quadrupled 422k on 75% resilience, althought you only have 74,47 with trinket bonus so it will be ~ 448k because I doubt anyone will gem resilience

lightning shield got a 45% procc chance, gets the 25% crit buff from ss and does ~23k, windfury can procc from the auto hit and mh stormstrike so 2x 20% chance to trigger and finally 25% crit even though I reforged everything to mastery/haste

I'd say oneshot still works well, and in regards of elemental blast 6 crits of 12 eb's so I guess the crit buff for eb is intended as the tooltip still shows it (just looked it up its stated in official patchnotes never saw it lol), which allows us to global people from 70% to death every 12 seconds

After all having a lot of practice with this comp is far more important than 15% stormblast damage, trust me the gameplay really isnt that easy

I was doing around on ptr today and I found pretty decent built, instead of mastery>haste I'm going now on mastery>crit and went full on mastery in gem slots (except helmet) despite the fact that I lose some pvp power, it works out much better this way, sitting now on 63,62% mastery (54% before) and lost 1,6% pvp power and 1,2k attack power (down to 33,2k), therefore ~9,6% more mastery which puts my oneshot on the same level as it was before the nerf, I'll also sacrafice primal elementalist for elemental blast too because I feel like I do already have enough tools to survive the burst phase of any 3 dps team and the elemenents are sitting about half of their time in cc anyway

in most cases I'll continue to use ancestral swiftness except against dot cleaves I'll use echo to spam chainheal and nothing will ever die

so with that build I'm sitting on 33,2k ap, 29,5% crit, 28,08% haste, 63,62% mastery and 43,32% pvp power, more crit also means more flurry proccs so with 30% crit I should most likely have it up all the time, 51% haste with flurry up

Would you happen to have recorded any of your matches as of lately? Or maybe stream some through Twitch and let them record it for you.
