Item Tuning Adjustments in Patch 9.0.2

We’ve identified a number of items that were disproportionately powerful for their item level, especially going into Shadowlands, where reaching max level should come with new, more powerful items to wear. So we’re making the following adjustments with patch 9.0.2:

• The Heart of Azeroth’s secondary stats have been reduced by 20%.
• The power of several legacy trinkets has been reduced in all content. The effectiveness of the following trinkets have been reduced by 15%:
  • Dead-Eye Spyglass
  • Harlan's Loaded Dice
  • Lustrous Golden Plumage
  • Peerless Alchemist Stone
  • Tiny Electromental in a Jar
  • Torment in a Jar
  • Vial of Animated Blood
  • Writhing Segment of Drest'agath
• The effectiveness of the following trinkets have been reduced by 25%:
  • Azshara's Font of Power
  • Corrupted Gladiator's Badge
  • Corrupted Gladiator's Insignia
  • Galecaller's Boon
  • Manifesto of Madness
  • Vita-Charged Titanshard
• The effectiveness of the following trinkets have been reduced by 40%:
  • Ashvane's Razor Coral
  • Highborne Compendium of Storms

These changes are testable in the Shadowlands Beta over the next week, and again, will be effective in the live game with patch 9.0.2 (tomorrow in this region).

no nerf for accolade.medallion (on use vers pvp trink) or mechagon bike, maledict, claw.. xd shit right there



wonder if the nerfs effect lvl 20 version. you can get those pvp trinks from supply caches at 20

 

[DeLindsay]

LMAO! Harlan's Loaded Dice was already shit to begin with.

 

[Carbonated]

I liked my dice , could even proc off taking DMG.

Sleep well sweet prince - your trinket watch is over

Rip

 

[DeLindsay]

@Carbonated Could be a Class thing. For Hunter I found that it barely had a ~0.92 PPM and at absolute best it proc'd for 6/6/6 at 10, but usually more like 4/4/4. I get 10% flat Crit out of Gruuk's Evil Eye that even proc's off Hunter's Mark. Granted, no possibilty for Socket and/or Tertiary.

 

[Carbonated]

At 20 it procs for 16 normal of each stat, and if you get the loaded dice it can be as much as 33 of each.

I had a socket though which made it competitive.

Overall though

Best in PvP I'd say are , dragonling , socket + tertiary Boe 28 trink , Tusk and medallion

Uma keep searching though , the trinket options we have now are amazing at 20 really makes the game better.

(Edited out lumberjack caller and added boe)

Yeah.. I got it at lvl14.. It's pretty bad for lvl14

 

[toskosa]

List trinket nerfs that were not on the wowhead page, ill start with some I noticed.

starlance's protective ward use to give 49 vers now only gives 36 ( 2 lower then tooltip)
Nether drakes impulse only gives about 24 haste instead of36
legacy of omra only gives around 22-28 ( cant remember exact number) instead of tooptips 42
armored elekk tusk gives 53 instead of 80 mastery now.

These are just a fe wof the trinkets I have looked it so far, I assume its going to be like this across theboard for most trinkets from legion wod etc.

 

[Warsnout]

I don't think elekk tusk was actually nerfed? It says 53 in the buff, but the item says 86 and it's still adding 86 to my mastery rating.

 

[Germinus]

Armored elekk tusk and young drake impulse both give full effect on my 20 lock. 80 mastery and 33 haste. But keep in mind, warmode and pvp flag might change trincks.

Just tested warmode on and off, elekk tusk still gives 80 mastery in both. Dont have time to test instanced pvp (where it matters) right now but I think its just a tooltip error.

Ty. I didnt test either, just wanted to remind. Also added might do.

I'm fairly certain the Trinkets I use have changed.
https://www.wowhead.com/item=116075/scales-of-gennadian on my Hunter says 42 Mastery, but when it procs, it only gives 27.
https://www.wowhead.com/item=113163/kliaas-venomclaws says 27 Agility, but it only procs 18 Agility.
I have WM on, and these were results in a dungeon.
I haven't tested any other trinkets, but these 2 I mainly use certainly have.

Check your actual stats, versus the buff tooltip. I know the elekks tusk says less on the tooltip than it actually provides.

You're a champ Chops....
It provides the noted Ag & Mast, only the buff says it provides less.......
Obviously not too many people employed at Blizz with OCD.....
