12.0.1 Midnight Beta Test Development Notes

Hello beta testers! Here are the 12.0.1 changes for the week:

Classes

• Apex Talents
  • Developers’ notes: All 40 specializations have had their talent frame updated to include the new Apex Talent capstone node. This is a new Talent node type that you can increase and decrease in rank by left or right-clicking on the node directly. There are no functional changes to the Apex Talent abilities due to this, aside from what has been mentioned in the changelog for this week’s Beta. Check out this new presentation for Apex Talents and let us know what you think!
  • Please note that the current capstone level-up flow is duplicating the Rank 2 tooltip in the final tooltip. This is not intended and will be resolved in next week’s deploy.
• Death Knight
  • Hero Talents
    • Rider of the Apocalypse
      • Developers’ notes: Reverting the 25% reduction to Unholy’s damage will fully offset this change. For Frost Death Knight, this adjustment is aimed at bringing Rider of the Apocalypse and Deathbringer closer in power.
      • All Horsemen damage reduced by 25%.
    • San’layn
      • Unholy
        • Frenzied Bloodthirst now increases the damage of Death Coil and Epidemic by 3% per stack of Essence of the Blood Queen.

  • Unholy
    • Developers’ notes: Unholy Death Knight, especially San’layn, has been overperforming in low-target scenarios. We’re reducing its throughput and easing the weight of its cooldown windows. We’re also taking this opportunity to address the imbalance between Raise Abomination and Gargoyle.
    • All damage reduced by 25% hotfix has been reverted.
      • Developer’s notes: We are reverting the baseline aura reduction and will be applying it to Unholy’s ability coefficients to bring them closer to baseline expectations.

        • Burden of Power has been updated – Flamestrike and Pyroblast damage increased to 8% (was 5%).
  • Arcane
    • Developers’ notes: Sunfury Arcane Mage has been overperforming in low-target encounters, so we’re tamping down the spec and hero talent tree while giving Spellslinger a bit of help. We’re also adding some compensation for Arcing Cleave and Arcane Orb to ensure multi-target profiles are not hindered too significantly.
    • Arcing Cleave has been updated – Additional targets are struck for 50% of initial damage (was 40%).
      • Developers’ notes: We identified an issue preventing Arcing Cleave’s damage from appropriately increasing. This will be resolved in a future update.

    • Apex Talent: Fired Up – Fixed an issue where applications of Fired Up would not correctly overlap.
  • Frost
    • Developers’ notes: We’re reducing the power of Frostbolt and Flurry to help Ice Lance and Shatter continue to be the rotational priority. We’re moving some of that lost power into Ice Lance and Shatter to mitigate the throughput impact of these changes in low-target scenarios. We’re also tamping down Frostfire’s performance in AOE, since it has been overperforming.

        • Soul Anathema damage increased by 50%.
  • Affliction
    • Developers’ notes: We are reducing the duration of Haunt to match its cooldown. The reasoning for this change is to avoid situations where it is possible to have 2 active Haunts at one time causing high damage spikes while talented into Shadow of Nathreza. Additionally, we are removing the synergy between Creeping Death, Sataiel’s Volition, and Nightfall to reduce resource flooding.
    • Haunt’s duration reduced to 15 seconds (was 18 seconds).

Player vs Player

      • Demonsurge damage reduced by 20% in PvP combat.
  • Devourer
    • Developers’ notes: We’re taking a pass on Devourer’s damage profile in PvP with the goal of improving consistent damage and reducing the potential for one-shots. We’d like Void Metamorphosis to be a powerful cooldown, but are aiming for damage outside of the cooldown to be impactful.

Серьёзные изменения.

Очень странное изменение для линки ршамы. Распределение хп раз в 5 сек вместо 1? Это для каких случаев? Если они в миднайте придумали инсты где нет постоянного Аое, то ладно, но если судить по твв , то такое изменение много вопросов вызывает, за все 3 сезона было очень много и часто аое, и иногда даже эта 1 секунда казалась вечностью. Тот же приорат после 1го босса
