Patch 5.2 reloaded (20-24)

[Bofir]

When is this patch coming out anyways?

 

[Dax]

Druid
-Growl now requires Bear Form because it no longer activates the form.
-The 70% haste after the Druid casts Swiftmend is due to Soul of the Forest so you can delete it.
Mage
-Since Scorch isn't enable anymore, I think you can delete the mana cost change.
-Frostbolt already deals 24% more damage and now damage and SP scaling increased by 23%. 1.24*1.23 = 1.52% so now deals 52% more damage !
Paladin
-We never got Hand of sacrifice at our level, the lvl 80 requires is not a change.
Priest
-You can delete "Flash Heal heals for 20% less for shadow." it's now for every priest but compensated by the new passive for disc/holy.
-Power word: Shield has been increased by 25% for disc/holy.
-Holy Fire is now an instant cast ability.
Warrior
-Deep wounds requires lvl 32, no change for us here.

Thanks Dax ! Can get careless sometimes , deep wounds blunder made me chuckle , confused it with some bleed effects warriors used to have in Cata , I think it was based on damage done, can't recall the name.

That's totally how the math works.

 

[Ceethreepioo]

Frostbolt healing and SP scaling increased by 23%.

Seems to be the only change concerning Frostbolt on ptr notes right now or am I missing something ?

 

[Dax]

Frostbolt : "causing [ 1,301 + 125% of Spell Power ] Frost damage" vs. Frostbolt : "causing [ 1,988 + 191% of Spell Power ] Frost damage". It's more than 23% !

 

[CripzBlood]

SPriest:
Mind Blast damage has been increased by 20%.

oh nvm, this is only news for me.

 

[Mesikämmen]

SPriest:
Mind Blast damage has been increased by 20%.

O lord...

 

[Punnishers]

[Punnishers]

been killed by spriest before killing me wont work

Frostbolt : "causing [ 1,301 + 125% of Spell Power ] Frost damage" vs. Frostbolt : "causing [ 1,988 + 191% of Spell Power ] Frost damage". It's more than 23% !

It is still only the scaling though, it does not actually increase your damage by that amount.

 

[Ceethreepioo]

Quick update , classes getting buffed all over , all warlock specs get damage boost , hunters too , SP get buffed again , interesting damage buff for Assassination Rogues and overpower now reduces mortal strike cooldown !

Check these changes and more in detail over on first page they are highlighted in bold

naturalist: This new passive learned at level 10 by restoration druids increases all healing done by the druid by 10%.

starsurge damage and sp scaling increased by 9%.



shadowform increases damage by 25%, up from 20%. mind blast base damage and sp scaling increased by 20%.





reduced damage of bloodthirst and raging blow by 10%.

Nice job Blizz.

Why didn't Ret Paladins get buffed in DPS? They are pathetic in both pve and pvp. Only Exorcism does decent damage at higher level.

[*]Warlock

• The Imp ability Blood Pact has been removed.
  [*]Soul Fire damage +22%.
  [*]Shadow Bolt and Wild Imp Firebolt +15% damage.
• Soul Leech now provides an absorption shield instead of healing.
• Affliction
  • Unstable Affliction’s backlash effect is now always a critical hit and deals approximately 15% more damage.
  • Glyph of Soul Shards has been removed and its effects are now baseline for Affliction Warlocks
• Demonology
  • Hand of Gul'dan, Shadowflame +15% damage.
• Destruction
  • 
    [*]Conflagrate and Immolate damage +20%.
    [*]Incinerate damage +10%.

• 
  
  idk, over the board buff may means everything just die slightly quicker.
  and
  Soul fire +22% vs Shadowbolt +15% or Incinerate +10%
  does this mean soud fire(longer cast time) have equal or "slightly" better damage with shadow bolt/incerate(shorter cast time)?
  soul leech is an interesting change, how long its cd?

Blizz see palys more as a burst class. or they just wanna nerf it it to the ground so that silly warriors and other dmg classes wont whine so much.

 

[rsq]

all warlock specs get damage boost

Oh thank god!

 

[Nakedplumber]

Is it me or it seems like this patch will never be out?
