Upcoming PvP Tuning Changes for January 26th - Convoke the Spirits, Triune Ward Nerfs in PvP

posted 2021/01/22 at 8:13 PM by Squishei

We're working on a new set of PvP tuning changes that will be applied to the game with weekly maintenance in each region (January 26 in this region). Here's what we're currently testing:Player vs. Player

Players now deal 20% less damage to Death Knight, Hunter, and Warlock pets.
In 2v2 Arenas, Dampening will begin at 20% when both teams have either a tank or healer.
Druid

Convoke the Spirits no longer casts Full Moon and Feral Frenzy when engaged in combat with enemy players.

Mage

Triune Ward (legendary) now provides 50% effective barriers (was 65%) in PvP situations.**
Fire

Infernal Cascade (conduit) effectiveness reduced by 33% in PvP situations.

Paladin

Holy

Divine Favor (Honor Talent) cooldown increased to 30 seconds (was 25 seconds), and now increases cast speed by 30% (was 60%).

Protection, Retribution

Word of Glory's healing has been reduced by 20% in PVP situations.

As always, we'll post updates if we make changes to the changes, and the final adjustments will appear in our hotfixes update soon after they go live.

Comment by maiverxsketchyComment by dokeefe1986Good changes. Rogues next pleaseComment by sikhjatt23Poor prot pallehs since wog is kinda sorta part of the rotationComment by mirchony@#$% yeahComment by Skyi9Thank GAWD! F Ret Paladin Healing!Comment by BaneleafSo....sub rogues can still kill people in an opener but convoke spirits made someone cry because of full moon? Convoke can be interrupted by breathing in a druids direction and it is the problem.Comment by LeafstaggerThis isn’t nearly enough. Where are the Windwalker and Arms nerfs? Sub rogue? Combustion? Also no buffs to struggling healers like MW and Resto Druids.Comment by CTkidneyWhere's the Podtender removal for arenas at?Comment by jthm91the holy paladin nerf is dumb afComment by CursedShadowXIISure, nerf the interrupt-able, CC-able, LOS-able Convoke the Spirits, and ignore that Sub rogues continue to kill people in a single opener & stunlock even post-nerf.Comment by PhatymcdaddySo....sub rogues can still kill people in an opener but convoke spirits made someone cry because of full moon? Convoke can be interrupted by breathing in a druids direction and it is the problem.Comment by ElfcraigPoor prot pallehs since wog is kinda sorta part of the rotationComment by ErazhenThey are nerfing combustion damage in this hotfix, have you read it?Comment by NrvsRkGreat stuff. Love them being proactive about applying dampening to 2s, meta already slowing down a lot with the 35k+ hp pools. You can no longer get RNG wombo'd by a 0.1sec full moon and hunter pets won't die every time they go behind a pillar. Just great all round.Comment by KYZ123Not really sure removing Full Moon and Feral Frenzy from Convoke will do much, they were already RNG and not necessarily cast anyway.Comment by schaalkerNot enough. Still 4 secs ress pet for survival? Come on that’s unplayable on arena and it’s the only spec that need it for the rotation entirely. A survi without pet must go afk till have it backComment by DaeeroRemovedComment by creassrpmWord of Glory’s healing has been reduced by 20% in PVP situations.Comment by 3lizadeathNow nerf Rogues and Kyrian for Ret Paladins.Comment by LeafstaggerThey are nerfing combustion damage in this hotfix, have you read it?
