Patch 9.2 PTR Development Notes for February 8th - Feral Class Set Nerf

Blizzard has updated their 9.2 PTR Patch Notes with changes for February 8th, including reducing damage done to the Feral 4pc bonus by 65%.

Hello everyone Here are this week’s PTR notes:CLASSESDeath KnightClass SetsUnholy 4-piece: Now grants the Death Knight the Harvest Time buff if the enemy dies while Soul Reaper is active on them before it explodes. DruidClass SetsFeral 4-piece: Damage done reduced by 65%.Developers’ note: This adjustment is pretty heavy so we wanted to explain why this is necessary. Sickle of the Lion’s damage was set too high due to a bug that caused external power increases, such as Mastery and abilities that enhance Feral’s rotation, to double dip and even triple dip into those benefits.

The damage reduction reflects the removal of those repeat benefits and bringing the damage in line with other set bonuses. We are watching feedback closely and will adjust, even post launch, if the need arises. Thank you for testing and providing feedback, we genuinely appreciate the support! Guardian4-piece: Damage done reduced by 32% and healing done reduced by 25%.

MageFrost Frozen Orb damage reduced by 8%. Blizzard damage reduced by 5% and reduces the cooldown of Frozen Orb by 0.25 seconds each time Blizzard deals damage (was 0.5 seconds). Icy Propulsion’s (Conduit) cooldown reduction can now only occur every 0.35 seconds.

MonkBountiful Brew (Necrolord Runecarving Power) now extends the duration of Bonedust Brew if it triggers while a target is currently afflicted by Bonedust Brew. PriestClass SetsDiscipline 2-piece: Freely cast Shadow Mends grant 2 extra seconds of Atonement to the target, up to 16 seconds total.
