How many times can your press one button in 1.4 seconds?

I honestly think this is a troll post by Azu.

This is kind of like when assassin damage got buffed. PvP board lost their freaking minds.

Won't really affect PvP too much.
Few mages rely on pyromancer's aegis over pyromancer armor in PvP since the burst damage from a cinderburst is better over that of a fireball.
It would be useful if the mage utilizes extinguish and heatwave though so there it might be an issue.


On the other hand most of the burst from a mage an be set up from the get go through sigil+prime+fulminate combo at the moment.

I don't think this change will cause many more additonal problem, since the problem at the base level is that the combintion of fulminate+fusillade+another fusillade is painful.

So in that aspect I think the damage in PvP should be reduced by 20% for those two abilities.
Hard nerf but it would be warranted.

Was wondering the same thing

...
Really?
*cries*

Mage boards are silly.

How does having to constantly recast the dot's make it more of a dot class? How does pushing 6 buttons instead of 1 make it more of a dot class?

It doesn't, you're right. It was only meant as in the essence of what a DoT class is or at least used to be. Point being that we have a "timing/upkeep" type of soul in Pyro, but lost the "reapply x DoTs" spec. As in a timed upkeep spec is quite forced in most regards whereas a DoT spec is much more priority based as to when you want to reapply a fallen off DoT and so forth.

But it's just an observation and my opinion, and I know that the Warlock soul has gotten a lot of other good aspects as well with the changes.

What do you mean?

Remove GCD from veils.

Or add talent that reduces the GCD to .5 sec maybe?

[Elric-merren]

Normally for me a Dot specc is more of just a specc that revolves around using dot effects to deal damage, or using dot effects as a central feature of core elements of the class/soul. In this fact warlock fits perfectly as it both uses dots as a direct form of damage dealing, and as a form of damage amplification for other aspect's of it's abilities.

seriously go spam up another thread

[Calmethar]

Sorry for the confusion all. The change is meant for Pyromancer's Aegis only. Pyromancer's Armor isn't affected.

Cheers.

Aye, great! Only lists of suggestions, no discussion of them whatsoever! Pixel sets the rules.

Suggestion for Possession and Empyrean Ascension type reactive abilities. Can they work like rogue stealth abilities? I would like to macro and have ready to go like rogues without the SPAM of errors (Spells Can Not be Found). Reactive abilities are a pain and load slow. Can you sit down with the rogue dev and work this out?

Hey all,

Quick update on another change making its way out to PTS for feedback. I'm increasing the duration of the DoT effect from Ignite to 16 seconds. This also means the pet buff from Ashen Armor is having its duration increased to 16 seconds as well.

[utterchaos]

Can you fix shadow rev dps please, really needs a good 1k more dps. Elementalist pets are doing 4 times as much damage atm.

OR Necro tree:

Swap symbiote with deathly collusion(this would open up necro/locks to be a bit more raid friendly damage wise)

Then change symbiote to heal pet as well as the caster, so you don't have to spam soul purge all the time.

Also please make essence link last 5 mins on our pet, please.
