[WoW] Resiliance Changes in next Patch

Jedite · 07-10-2007, 07:47 PM

In the next major content patch, the combat rating, resilience, will also reduce the damage dealt by damage over time (DoT) effects. As it currently stands, each new tier of equipment adds to the amount of damage DoT abilities have, yet that damage is not mitigated through combat ratings found on typical equipment. This change will help ensure that DoT effects do not scale too well compared to other damage mechanics.

The amount of damage reduced will be equal to the critical chance reduction effect that resilience grants.

This was posted by Eyonix on the WoW forums, and already the crying has begun.

Instead of doing a direct nerf of Locks, they are taking the indirect route and nerfing any and all dots. Quiet interesting.

To counter some warlocks complaints, they also said that gear won't be able to be switched in the match anymore preventing people from swapping in high SR gear.

Aw no more 12k damage cycles on my non-raiding geared warlock.

Cybsled · 07-10-2007, 08:27 PM

So basically dots are countered by resists and resil? Mk....

Can resilience reduce stun durations? k thx

Mist · 07-10-2007, 08:28 PM

And melee is countered by armor and resil, nevermind dodge block and parry. Your point?

Anything that knocks the insanity of warlocks back into line a little, makes kittens happy.

Cybsled is a great poster, but also a known Warlock apologist.

I hope these kittens are properly geared with enough resil to make a difference.

fair trade

you rather see dots dmg reduced a bit or face people with max resists?

LadyVex · 07-10-2007, 09:15 PM

Would rather just see warlocks utterly nerfed like they need to be instead of fucking with dots in general.

brekk · 07-10-2007, 10:15 PM

so since resil is gonna effect dots, is crit rating gonna effect dots somehow?
