Recommended Posts

This week's 7.3 PTR patch will have some Elemental Shaman Changes and adjustments to Tier 21 bonuses for Hunters & Monks. What will be different?

Tier 21 Set Bonus Changes

Blizzard's currently polishing the latest set bonuses and based on community feedback, a future PTR build (coming this week, probably tomorrow) will introduce the following changes to Tier 21 set bonuses:

Beast Mastery / Marksmanship Hunter

Current Beast Mastery T21 Bonuses

Current Marksmanship T21 Bonuses

Upcoming Changes

Some changes you will see in a future PTR build:

The BM Hunter 4p has changed to Kill Command reducing the cooldown of Aspect of the Wild.

The Marksmanship Hunter 4p has changed to just be a way simpler tooltip with roughly the same value, and has swapped places with the 2p. This makes the new 2p a buff to your Focus builders, and the 4p the chance for Marked Shot to shoot a target twice.

Mistweaver Monk

Current Mistweaver T21 Bonuses

Upcoming Change

  • Tranquil MistTranquil Mist (2P Bonus) will be a HoT effect, instead of an absorb

In a future build, the Mistweaver 2p bonus will be a Heal Over Time effect instead of an absorb to allow better interaction with the 4p bonus.

Why do I feel like this makes the 4p set bonus essentially useless.  I mean don't get me wrong Aspect of the Wild is a good skill and extremely beneficial during bestial wrath but it just feels like blizzard felt the previous 4p bonus was too OP and was like how do we fix it... I know let's make it useless.

Also once again as is with every expansion, BM gets some love and then gets less love.  I mean don't get me wrong, BM still does well on some fights and isn't in a terrible spot overall (could use a bit of love) but the previous 4p bonus I felt would allow it to shine quite a bit once again.

Are you kidding me? That is still a really good 4pc. Not only will the extra crit proc call of the wild more often which means more pets, and that increases way of the cobras damage boost, and all that extra focus means more cobra shot spam.

Pretty sure the extra focus should mean more kill command spam specially if you're using Aspect of the Wild properly.  Cobra shot is only a filler and should never be priority.

With the amount of focus you' ll have from both aspect and having more direbeasts out you'll be able to do more. Depending on how much it reduces the CD of aspect by, the extra crit may mean have bestial wrath up 100% of the time (if youre running ring and one with the pact which, you should be) , which means rotation becomes dire beast when it procs, then Cobra, kill command and repeat cause of killer cobra. Which you'll have the focus to do since to the extra dire beasts thanks to wild call and the extra crit, and extra focus gen from aspect.

So, we had Trueshot setbonusses in T19 to buff both AoE+ST (mixed boss fights). Aimedshot in T20 for a lot of ST in Tomb, now Marked Shot and Multishot in T21... Argus raid is going to be full cleave?

Rather see a set bonus which focusses on a spell we can influence instead of hoping marked to proc (outside of trueshot window) to actually be any usefull.....

Unless you're running the AotB build with high crit and low mastery. Works wonders for me when I play it and Cobra Shot is my most used ability along with Dire Beast.

I can see the benefits of this set bonus running Stomp + OwtP "Zoo" build, however that build loses a lot of power if you are not using NH 2 set.

Not entirely, it still has strong potential without. Some theorycrafters are even suggesting 2+2+2 in Argus.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
