patch 5.2 ?

[halabar]

Oh my dear sweet christmas baby jesus the Season 13 Death Knight set is absolutely stunning.

Let's see: Skulls? Why... Yes. There are Skulls, and they are on the knee caps, and the belly, and the shoulders, but it's not overdone. The Shoulders and Helm are FANTASTIC. I would probably find a chest / let / belt / boot mog to go with those pieces if I were playing. That's right. I'd PvP for the helm and shoulders. They are that sexy.

ZANDALARI ALLIES! MT TROLL BRUDDAS!
Dinosaur (Triceratops) mount? Freaking cool.
New Heirlooms? /yawn

You should post that on the forums, or maybe PM Ghostcrawler, now that he's on twitter ^_~

What good would that do? I'm sure he's more than aware that it's a net DPS nerf at high AP.

I think he's hoping no one notices that.

I don't think he's that naive. Especially for paladin changes.

Paladin (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
The self heal from Seal of Insight will trigger approximately 33% more often.

Wut?

This is more interesting to me. With a 2.6-speed weapon, a 15-PPM effect such as SoI had a proc chance of 15*2.6/60=0.6500 = 65%.

Does "33% more often" mean that it's now 15*1.33 = 20 PPM, and thus an 86.67% proc chance? Or does it mean that they turned it from a 65% proc chance into a 100% proc chance on hit?

Should be easy to test, I'll post something in the CTA thread. Basically attack a dummy 100 times with auto-attacks. The chance of seeing no misses in 100 attacks with an 86.67% proc rate is 0.000061218%.

I attacked a dummy with auto-attack for a minute and saw two or three non-proccs. I also sent GC one of those tweet message things about the cons change being a nerf to damage when you have some vengeance.

No, but he can be very stubborn in that he's right even if your math proves otherwise...

I'd say paranoid - If I were him I'd also suspect *anyone* that is trying to get a change to have an agenda.
I guss that's life in IT :-p

I still think there is a fear element of Theck's math prowess =P

[Nooska]

I think Theck has a better backgound for doing math than most of he devs put together

Precisely why I think a little nudge might prove useful.

What makes you think this nerf isn't fully intentional?

Nerf the tank with the worst AoE?


Yeah yeah, its a decent buff at lower AP levels... And yeah, I'm being facetious

[Sagara]

Well, I expect we will get at least a shorthand version of the reason behind the change.
Understanding might help agree or form a reasonable disagreement.

[theckhd]

It's not exactly a huge nerf. And remember, it's a buff at low Vengeance, which is the common situation you'll be at on pulls or picking up adds. It was probably done to try and help improve those situations without buffing our steady-state DPS.
