Not a huge nerf, but it's still pretty strong.
Honestly if the nerf is just the target cap, it follows a pull-cap principle they've been using for years, it's fine. 8-cap is lenient even, as it's roughly two packs which is fine for most runs, majority of DF dungeons doesn't allow for huge pulls anyway. This is just to not make this a mandatory pick for non-Intellect, it's still very good in + for most casters.
It still overpower at 8 cap target. Its way more than certains classes AoE cap, like Elemental.
Nice...i finally get after 60 runs and Blizzard *!@#s up..@#$% this @#$%..
Its pretty busted for int classes sure, and deserved a nerf for its significant overperformance. And its not really a huge nerf for over 90% of the playerbase anyways since a target cap of 8 is still pretty big.The use on non-int classes however is flatout stupid and a good example that even high level players dont sim properly and have zero clue how much value mainstat has. Yeah, that trinket will contribute ~ 15% of your overall on big ass pulls if your class works well with it. However, the str/agi alone on any other beatstick translates into almost 10% more overall dps all by itself. You certainly wouldnt equip that one over an equal ilvl mutated magmammoth scale as an example, itll easily get outperformed.
I love and hate this trinket since I pug (mainly 10-12's). I hate it because not only is the proc super random, but I find the tanks moving the mobs when it does proc. I'm sure it's much better in set groups.
