Bu.. Buf.. Buffs?

These are gameplay changes rather than straight buffs. Welcome changes which should address a few problems, but number tuning passes will still occur later.

Makes the generally unused talents more usable. Cataclysm applying both agony and UA actually sounds a bit over the top.

I'm not really sold on it. For multidotting i'd rather take SB:Haunt anyways. It only ups the "affli aoe burst" and if the fights demands for that, aren't we better of with demo anyways?

KJC change is huge.

Considering it's 6.1, I would expect more to come.

Good omens for us, nevertheless.

I wonder if this will allow CR to become something other than a "niche" talent choice for Destro????

I found these changes for demo:

- Dark Soul: Knowledge increasing mastery 22,5%, down from 30%

- Mastery: Master demonologist Increases all damage done by you and your demon servants by 8%, up from 6%. Further increases the damage of your Touch of Chaos, Chaos Wave, Doom, Immolation Aura, and Soul Fire while in Metamorphosis by 16% up from 12%.

 

+ there is mention about Devastation for Destrolocks 15% up from 5%

 

But i gotta say that KJC cd down to 35 would be nice :)

Those changes Schutzhund are already live and will only be tooltip changes come 6.1 

 

Sigh, I didn't really like CR for AoE but to be honest I haven't played it that much yet. 

 

Oh and I am not fan a of GoSac either. 

 

Well Cata in its present form for Affliction is rather meh so I don't think an extra DoT on a 1 minute cool down will be all that exciting but I do hope it does not become stronger than SB: Haunt. Not every spec has to be able to AoE.

 

MMM nice KJC change I think. 35 seconds for DB?

Are there any sims that show what these adjustments might do for us?
