ultra stinky secret sneeky blizzard 66% nerf to broker's angler

[shanker]

blizzard lowered the price of it near end of SL into the 24g range. prior to DF doubled it to 51g, this past tuesday removed +10 fishing skill, it now shows +5 fishing skill same as a vendor white.

now you know why stuff in expacs that needs fixed rides for 1-2 years. yet takes DEV time to jerk a pole

And when I brought it was +15 fishing

there was post on all the racials that were + skill/craft nerfed. i know some items that gave +10 to some or all gathering were reduced.

makes me wonder when they are going to nerf fishing poles from the previous 16 years of the game, for DF

Not sure, I don't want to jinx it but there is still one very useful fishing pole still with a higher + fishing and a working non-Warlock or Undead equipped effect while in the fishing journal, post Dragonflight. The rest have been nerf'd to ad nauseum - like the Stamina fishing pole from Outland questing from Seth lost its +stamina equipped effect.

after seeing some stuff in trade chat, i suspect engineers were not selling these especially at the prices they wanted.

again current DEVs do not know the game other than the now, with a new expac these should have started equal to or at least +1 higher than any pole in the game. DEVs also did not consider past fishing lines that can add +1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 fishing to +10 thru +15 poles. along with fishing lures, boots, hats, items from anglers.

they also finally removed the +shadow resistance from the bone fishing pole, must have been gaming breaking in MDI or AWC. with the new system they i guess are always equipped? so we would get those affects. does that mean we have water walking if our lego pole from legion is in the slot?

Yes Waterwalking, Waterbreathing and Fish Form for faster swim speed. But those disabled on BGs and do not work in combat (old Nazjatar nerf). Also waterwalking no longer works when we mounted and trait that reduced agro range when fishin currently do not working so there is trade 0ff.

too bad we cant get the legendary pole at 20
