So, as you know, Execution Sentence was reduced by 15% in the last hotfix as seen here https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/20478238/hotfixes-january-18
With that, I am curious to see if execution sentence is still worth taking over Final Verdict (without legendary cloak).
Thoughts?

I know Unleash Doom was recommended as the second golden talent before getting Doom Vortex, but since Vortex just got buffed, and I am also using the Overcharge and Hot Hand talent; Is Vortex better to grab first now? Especially due to it proccing off Overcharged lightning bolts and the increased Lava Lash damage on the way down to it.

Two days in a row! This time around the relevant gameplay tweaks are for Druids and Warlocks, with artifact trait fixes for Demon Hunters, Priests and Shamans.

Experience earned from gaining Honor has been reduced by approximately 50%.

While we've decreased the experience from PvP, it is still more efficient than it was in previous expansions. Quests
