Further Class and Item Tuning Adjustments for May 3rd - Outlaw Rogue and Blood DK
Blizzard has announced some adjustments to the class and item tuning slated for May 3rd. The First Eidolon’s Soulsteel set bonus change has been reworked for Blood Death Knights, and Outlaw Rogues have a slightly-larger buff than previously announced. We’ve worked through a couple of modifications to our plans.ClassesDeath Knight
BloodThe First Eidolon’s Soulsteel (2-piece) set bonus: Heart Strike now increases the duration of Dancing Rune Weapon by 0.33 seconds (was 0.5 seconds). The First Eidolon’s Soulsteel (2-piece) set bonus: maximum Strength stack cap is now 40 (was 75).We will modify the planned adjustment to the Dancing Rune Weapon extension from the 2-piece bonus, reducing the maximum stack cap of the Strength bonus down to 40 from 75. Our initial goal was to rein in the power from the overall set bonus as it far exceeded our expected value for a tier bonus when played well. However, this nerf also hit the lower end harder than intended while also making Blood feel worse playing around optimal gearing and mechanical play to maximize the potential of the bonus. We will instead shift to reducing the maximum Strength cap so that the playstyle of the set bonus remains relatively unchanged but the damage capabilities (and to a lesser extent some of the defensive power) are pulled back some to a more appropriate value.Rogue
