SP était de loin la spécialisation la plus forte (sans compter les bugs). Je dirais d'attendre et de boire du thé en premier.

J'espère que mon vieux français n'était pas trop cruel.

@Blackhole Ce n'est en fait pas un nerf. Ils ont amélioré tous nos dégâts en modifiant notre aura de spécification, puis des sorts nerf pour compenser, de sorte que les dégâts que nous infligeons sont les mêmes (en fait plus importants dans certains cas).

This actually is not a nerf. They buffed all our damage by changing our spec aura, and then nerfed spells to compensate, so the damage we deal is the same (actually larger in some cases).

the whole thing is just hard to read tbh,might want to include a "actually not a nerf" disclaimer whenever that sort of stuff happens so we dont need to break out our calculators to check
