 What up guys, I'm gonna try a new kind of video today, and it's gonna be a patch notes reaction video, I guess And me just kind of going through what changes are coming in Today and tomorrow depending on if you're on us or EU and kind of what they mean for the PvP meta whether they're gonna, you know have a big impact or If you know it's not really gonna change that much and it's more of like a pseudo change So to start with we've got Roth bug being fixed So essentially what this bug was if a mage casts a spell and then spams smart cast Roth right afterwards then the ring To show you where it's appearing does not show up until right at the end So this allowed you to snipe rings on people before they could really react Behind pillars and stuff. So this is getting fixed, which is I mean, it's a bug, right? So I guess it's good that it's getting fixed All of this stuff is just PvE We're gonna with a gloss over that We've got on holy deathline changes. I don't think this is gonna be enough. Well, this is like relatively considerable There's like a 50% increase on How much the absorbs gonna do apparently used to be 8% so Do I think this is gonna react miraculously bring unholy decays into the map? Probably not an extra 10% damage on virulent plague and virulent interruption as well again like their damage is relatively negligible I feel like at the moment They're not putting out a great deal of pressure compared to some other classes that fill sort of a similar role So I don't think everyone's gonna be suddenly specking unholy and playing of unholy It's a lot more of like a dampener spec and the pace of the game is just like too fast at the moment It doesn't really suit that. I'm just eyeballing numbers, right? It could turn out to feel insane when you play it, but I yeah, I just don't think this is gonna be that good Maybe you'll see some kind of cleave potentially where they zerg healers With like a warrior, maybe or a wind walk or something like that. But other than that, I can't really see them Suddenly coming into the mouth marksmanship Careful aim and now deals 35% bonus damage when it engaged in combat with enemy players was 20% MM Hunters don't take this talent anyway as far as I know Yeah, so they they don't even take careful aim right now whether or not this changes anything remains to be seen but Yeah, I can't see this helping them that much BM BCL rafts effect was no longer reduced by 20% engage in combat with the players. I Don't think this is gonna mean we're suddenly seeing loads of BM hunters, especially with how squishy hunter pets are and impossible They are to to get back with a four-second Res time now. I can't see this changing anything. The res time needs to be revered to two seconds Like that's like the first thing that needs to happen to Hunters Dampened magic PVP talent reduces magical damage over time effects by 10% was 20% this is really weird. I Don't think anyone was complaining about majors like tankiness against dots Everyone that's complaining that majors are impossible to kill is talking about the shield legendary You know the shield legendary is like so hard to go through even if you have purge. It's three buffs and Yeah, it's it's a nightmare to get off And if you don't have purge then it's it's even it's even worse Just because of the low CD on it so This is really weird for me Frost buffs, okay. Do I think this is magically gonna bring frost into the matter? Frost again is more of a dampener spec. Maybe this is gonna allow them to burst a little bit better, but I don't think it's Something that's like the core issue with frost the reason fire is so good as because of DB and having that on-demand burst with with with combust And frost just kind of lacks that little bit of Killing potential I guess due to no no deep freeze If they added deep freeze back to frost and try to you know tend towards the wrath of the lich king play style again Then frost would be in a really good spot, but this is just more like PvE frost sort of rotational changes. I feel like They aren't actually gonna change that much. We'll probably see some more frost majors But I think fire is still gonna be the better spec And then they've hit pyro kinesis I Don't feel like this is gonna do that much The reason for that is so essentially It feels like combust is usually like a round of one minute for equal then against most comps as Most comps it's it they get it back at about 130 Which means they've probably cast about six fireballs, right? and So this is essentially gonna make it come back up at like 140 So they still have like that 20 second window where they can do a go and you don't have trinket And this is the thing that makes this talent so good is it's the fact that it makes combust not line up with trinket It makes it sure cool and then trinket Just like if blind was like a 140 cool then or a 130 cool then you know, it's like it doesn't matter It doesn't change anything the fact remains that it's less than your trinket So they can do a go when you don't have trinket So this change for me doesn't actually do that much Miss weaver changes chrysalis cool down On life cocoon is reduced and Given them a bunch more mana region. I think they're still insanely squishy and susceptible to stuns and burst Like maybe we'll see a few more but honestly, it's like with the way that the game is right now It just doesn't really lend itself well to like monks and druids who can just die in one go If they don't have trinket So yeah, I mean We've got some Pali changes as well, but we're not gonna suddenly see like monks taking over. I don't think this is a Speaking of pretty considerable in terms of mana a lot of their healing is coming from word of glory Like at least half I would say and this doesn't cost mana However, I Still think that this is gonna be something that actually impacts The overall mana pool of paladins like I don't think this is something that should be overlooked Paladin still use mana with their other abilities and This is gonna become more obvious now and you know if they can't use their other abilities They can't use word of glory once they own so I Think that this is actually gonna be something and I think this is a good change. I think this is One of the only changes they could do right They're not about to make word of glory start costing mana because then that messes with PvE and they're not about to start, you know messing with core mechanics of the spec If they Nerfed word of glory more in PvP then paladin goes to the point where they actually have to cast spells and Holy light and flash of light are really fucking bad. So If they're not really careful with this and with the changes that they do With regards to paladins instance, then you'll just see them fall off completely. I think Due to casts being really bad and this is like the the fundamental floor in the specs design, right? You need to see the casts actually doing a significant amount for a cheaper mana cost and the instance Doing, you know, a slightly less but safer amount for a more expensive mana cost No healing per mana The other change which we kind of glossed over is this one Ultimate sacrifice PvP talent is no longer affected by blessing of sacrifices ranked to upgrade This was like they take 25% less damage or something from sacrifice So when they when they sack somebody they are going to take shoe day So look to swap on palace when they use when they use sack if they're using ultimate sacrifice Especially if they, you know, shrink a sack rather than bubble sack Changes that are missing. I feel like when Walker Monks have gone under the radar with regards to their cool down related burst I think it's too high sustain is fine They just burst too high sometimes In my opinion Rep burst again can be too high when they pop wings Think they need smoothing out a little bit other than that I think that the burst is fine to be honest you react with cool ends and it's okay Even when they pop wings, you know, you can react with cool ends. It's generally okay, but you do see some random one shots Which is just it's too much Obviously their healing is still way over the top But that goes for all hybrids. I think What else do we want to see Ellie shamans? I think Ellie shamans are for me the best spec in the game right now and just going massively under the radar Their sustain is insane, you know, they never have to cast pretty much if they don't want to they have insanely High on-demand burst in really short intervals, so it's really hard to match any sort of CDs with it Warriors are just like the melee version of Ellie Ellie right now like insane Insane utility insane peels insane tankiness, you know, you can't kill a warrior And you can't kill anyone the warriors with if they play it well, right? I think intervene needs to be really scrutinized I think the cooldown is way too low on it When combined with all the other appeals that they have, you know storm bolt fear banner Duel they speck it Disarm, you know, they have so many different options and it's just like they have Multiple things that they can be disruptive with on every single go from the other team potentially to the point where if you don't cross You see them you can't do anything And I think this makes it less fun for the other team When you know, you can't be like, okay, we forced out this and this we can do something now And they can't do anything about it because they just seem to always have something So I think that needs to the cool hands in general of warrior needs to be slightly increased When they have so many different options Convoke obviously is still a complete joke. You don't want to just see random wins It's too orangey to be honest just buffing underrepresented specs Like smoothing out these things is one thing, but you don't want to over nerf them I think just generally sustain could do with getting a small increase You know and smoothing out the cooldowns so that they're not as as Prominent I guess Yeah, so let me know if you like this kind of video. I'm going to Try and do it more in the future whenever there's some changes try and talk to top people of each spec and get that kind of TLDR on it and Throw in my opinions on whether or not, you know, it will change the matter But yeah, thank you very much for watching and have a good one
