Comment by SeawolfI wonder if the neck nerf will mean raid necks are better than it again.

Also...dang dat painsmith buff.Comment by RaithanRip neck.Comment by StrungengYeah, more nerf to dungeons and buffs to raids.

Blizzard hates m+ playersComment by Mattysaiyan85% nerf on a release candidate patch though, spicy.Comment by abris1995Yeah, more nerf to dungeons and buffs to raids.

Blizzard hates m+ playersComment by DatYukiThat neck was never not going to get nerfed.Comment by DarkIgnis12Yeah, more nerf to dungeons and buffs to raids.

Blizzard hates m+ playersComment by TheRedRogueThe neck comes from a vendor inside Tazavesh, and is required for unlocking the Hard Mode of it, so it won't be on the M+ loot table.
The fact the proc value was that high guaranteed it wouldn't go live like that, because that is such a massive amount of primary stat on 2 Procs Per Minute, especially for how low item level the neck is and the fact that necks don't have primary stat anyhow.Comment by grayshirtNot disappointed by the nerf to the neck.

But I swear, the Dev Team is just always extreme . How do you initially miss the mark by so much? This seems to be a constant problem for them; they start so far off and then at the very last minute dial it in to a reasonable level.Comment by Seawolf
While it doesn't mention it in the article, if you hover over the neck, the tooltip now reads that it's only usable inside Tazavesh. So yes, raid necks will be better than it again.Comment by sneaksiesbug with the neck makes it ilvl 271 for me (i already had it before nerf)Comment by Dooteranopia

Dont forget guys, if you grind your BiS right on patch day/week, some things are getting nerfed a month later.

W8 with 9.1 a month 9 or 2 after release, so you arnt a beta tester.

The savest bet nowadays, where almost everything is in a good shape is to wait till mid 9.2 (i dont believe we get 9.3. Shadowlands is WoD 2.0).
At that point, you dont have time gates and you can experience everything in your pace and not blizzards way.

If they dont respect your time, dont give them money.Comment by SithalosGood change.
