Greetings!As some of you know, we've made adjustments to Shadow Priests lately to balance their damage, as heavy iteration on the specialization led to some things getting out of alignment. In this week's new
Бета build, we've made more adjustments.At the same time, we saw that some of the Insanity reductions from last week hurt the flow of the rotation, so we've reverted some of those. We also want to make sure that
Взрыв разума feels important to use over
Пытка разума.This week's changes include:
- Темная мысль duration increased to 10 seconds (was 6 seconds).
Developers' notes: We've also decreased Темная мысль's max stacks to 1, as 5 felt excessive. We are open to feedback about how this feels, as always.
Взрыв разума generates 8 Insanity (was 7).
Пытка разума damage reduced by 15%.
- Developers' notes: Shadow was proving too powerful in single target situations. This helps address that while still allowing Mind Blast to feel impactful.
damage reduced by 15%.
Всепожирающая чума initial hit reduced by 15%, and periodic damage reduced by ~12%.
Благосклонные духи generates 2 Insanity (was 1). Damage reduced to 15% (was 30%).
once again costs 30 Insanity (was 35).
- Developers' notes: There is some gameplay value in getting 3 s in a row when pooling Insanity, so we decided to revert this change.
Thank you for all of your testing and feedback.
