Blizzard
Hello!Thank you for all of your continued feedback on
Маг changes in Shadowlands. Below, you'll find the latest changes in the Alpha, which includes reverting
Мерцание to 2 charges, further talent tuning, and the removal of the short lived Frost and
Огненный оберег.There has a been a lot of great discussion in this thread and we hope to see it continue!
Маг- Мерцание charge count increased to 2.
- Мерцание cooldown Increased to 25 seconds (was 20 seconds).
Developers' notes: After listening to feedback and more playtesting, we are returning both charges of Мерцание at a slightly higher cooldown cost. Our goal with the change was to bring more it inline with the other talents on the row, but in doing so, Мерцание lost a lot of its identity. If the other talents on the tier continue to underperform, we'll look at ways we can enhance them to be more attractive options while up against Мерцание.
Сосредоточение магии now also grants the caster 1% Intellect, stacking up to 8 times when their
Сосредоточение магии target critically strikes.
- Developers' notes: We'd like for Focus Magic to reward the caster a bit more for taking an ally friendly talent.
Ледяной оберег and
Огненный оберег removed from all specs.
- Developers' notes: Compared to some of the other abilities, these two landed a little flat and overlapped a bit too much with each of the Barriers.
Fire Specialization Ярость Алекстразы now also makes your next
Огненная глыба or
Огненный столб deal 35% increased damage.
- Developers' notes: We're looking to make this more competitive with the Ба-бах! and the future Пламя феникса replacement.
