For Brewmasters, we're going to reduce the damage done by Keg Smash by 20%. We felt that Brewmaster DPS was too strong already, and the Tiger Strikes fix only pushes them further.

 

[Leek]

lol it isnt the damage of keg smash thats really annoying... Its guard.... 5-8k guards are more broken than 2k keg smashes... and i was just twinking another bm monk...

 

[madhombre]

well better than nothing i guess

 

[Leek]

well... yeah its a start... they could perhaps change the scaling tho...

 

[Guglielmo]

Still no idea why kek smash has to hit like a truck on all targets and shield slam like a wet noodle on 1 target...

 

[Leek]

IKR?! when WOD hit i thought some one screwed up the tooltip for shield slam... 30 damage..? really blizz?!
But i think prot warriors main damage attack would be devastate...it hits decently and is spammable

 

[danny glover]

Next step - make guard purgable.

 

[Leek]

oh yes yes yes! shamans, time to rise up!
Shamans need to be good at something other than knocking people off the LM...
let guard be purgable!

 

[Malanior]

what was wrong with tiger strikes

i didnt proc from multistrikes like it was supposed to

Didn‘t proc from multistrike (a nuissance in this bracket) but used to proc ignoring if ability/white damage procing it hit or not (used to ignore dodges, parries, misses)

 

[Talok]

Love is in the air. At least something is changing.

 

[Leek]

yeah. it will make it SLIGHTLY easier to fight bms now. Except the 29s.

 

[LennywBT]

At least they did something right. And made another worse... roll feral-- you will be fine....

 

[Leek]

haha yeeahh shred +20% damage what are they thinking?
and frost fire bolt gone for fire mage...

 

[LennywBT]

and frost fire bolt gone for fire mage...

Like srsly....

not like you ever use it anyways

 

[Leek]

they should not remove FFB from fire UNTIL they learn the scorch slow glyph... fury warriors have this problem too they shouldnt remove heroic strike till wild strike is learnt
but yeah the bm monk nerfs are a small step in the right direction
