Wild Call in 7.2.5

Blizzard

In 7.2.5, we are changing Wild Call from a cooldown reset mechanic to a cooldown reduction mechanic.

The base proc chance will be doubled and the cooldown reduction per proc will be 3.0 sec (affected by haste), roughly half the average expected value of current live Wild Call procs. Baseline, the amount of total Dire Beast casts and Dire Beast uptime should be roughly the same as on live, except the changes should result in smoother Focus regeneration from more well-paced Dire Beast casts.

Additionally, these changes have the desired side effect of bringing the power level of The Mantle of Command more in line with other legendaries.

How is this going to affect One with the Pack? If the proc chance is doubled, then One with the Pack seems to be getting weaker.

Sorry for the inconvenience.Comment by lankybritAnd still no fix for the bloody Shipyard. How difficult can it be to change MaxShips from 25 to 10!Comment by NulgarAnd still no fix for the bloody Shipyard.

We truly regret our decision in making a new spec called survival that is unable to survive. It was meant as a joke but released that way.Comment by IstaroAnd still no fix for the bloody Shipyard.

This is...kind of nice actually.

Put another way, Wild Call's proc chance post 7.2.5 would be more easily manipulated by stacking both Haste and Crit instead of relying on such a low chance it might as well be random. Pretty big deal. Maybe similar mechanics will follow suit.Comment by TombsvTwo charges should be baseline. :|Comment by NazthoriAs for survival we just don't know. We truly regret our decision in making a new spec called survival that is unable to survive. It was meant as a joke but released that way.Comment by vegeta0585how do you figure? They literally have less survival than the 2 ranged specs. And nothing has been changed since they released other than you can now take disengage which is semi-helpful in pve.

The have the exact same actives, only no modification to turtle to heal via artifact. No passive dodge like BM. No DR, no dodge, no passive DR. They're literally the only melee class with no real defensive CDs.

Need to put iron eagle as a SV passive along with old spirit bond.Comment by Calcitrantstill no wrathguard hotfix!Comment by kogaSagarait will be cool if they bring bakc "master's call" to all hunter specsComment by robbiedehandWow they're actually making it so the Wild Call proc has a decent semblance of controllable randomness to it?
