Some 409s changed overnight

[Aelobin]

It looks like Blizz have done a stealth nerf overnight which changed the mastery and avoidance stats on most of the 409s (the mastery on Cheng's Irrepressible Girdle, Glowing Wind Bracers and Penate's Penance-Procuring Pistol is unchanged though).

This appears to be an attempt to reduce the survivability of tank classes, although surprisingly the broken str->parry scaling is still unchanged.

if this is blizzard's pathetic attempt at nerfing 409's, then they are doing a shitty job.

but i am glad

This changes nothing!

Muahahahahaha.

I'm loving these changes for Blood DPS gear xD I was avoiding mastery anyway, and now I have the expertise hard cap whilst reforging away from it.

Edit: The changes to the Chest/Ring only took me down by 5% in avoidance gear xD

I needed more dps anyway

All these changes that apply to my character have infact buffed it.

Cheers Blizz, best thing you've done since MoP release!

Zoid's still has mastery on it, but you can't reforge off the mastery.

Actually, none of my gear has changed, but my stats reflect that they did ><

Your item cache probably hasn't updated yet. Try equipping/unequipping items to see which stats change.

Either that or he's looking at the armory.

 

[glancealot]

simply deleting itemtextcache.wdb should do.

can be found in ...\Cache\WDB\enUS

I got it. I relogged and all the stats were changed. Now I will reforge accordingly.

Brooch of Munificent Deeds was also changed, it has 828 stamina instead of dodge. Still a awesome pvp item giving 9k hp before resilience. This makes me sad in the eye. I lost 12% haste and 22% mastery as ele. 50% mastery as resto. =/

 

[Splosion]

Oh wow.

Losed 30% Mastery on my Ret Paly, sad thing no more 150K Hand of light
