Comment by AstroWoWThe commenters here acting like this is some gamebreaking bug that should have been caught immediately...

It's missing minus symbol, likely from when it was switched to versatility to magic resist one week before launch, as I recall it was a rushed change because Pelagos was broken with its prior state. Everyone's done that sort of thing on secondary school maths exams, and it's such an easy thing to miss that it took the entire community four months to notice it. It's unsurprising that it was missed by Blizzard, and it was quickly changed when pointed out.Comment by SarcumaIs this really the biggest thing for people to complain about in retail WoW right now?Comment by fathom81Is this really the biggest thing for people to complain about in retail WoW right now?Comment by johnnybgood89At least they can make a new icon not using hunter one lol...Comment by Rudy199Okay, this does now make my prot paladin quite stronger.Comment by Caleb95

I take it as it took Blizzard FOUR MONTHS to realize the change they made didn't work and it was only when their playerbase pointed out to them, they didn't catch this bug themselves.

How hard is it to "test" when you make a change of 3% less damage taken is actually working as 3% more damage taken?Comment by 1412075This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by WalterGMAs this was discovered in the wake of the VDH magic bug, I wonder if we'll see that rolled back too.
