Wow legion ptr 7.2 legendary4/26/2023 ![]() This data is snapshot-in-time only and intended only to address some of the initial reaction to BM’s relative power post-patch. Also, as more people re-gear and switch to the stomp build, BM could very well rise from its current levels. But a lot of other specs seem to have been overbuffed, so it doesn’t feel real good right now…Ĭaveat: Depending on relative strengths of T20 set bonuses and suitability for encounters, all of this could be completely moot in a week. Nighthold was nerfed by about 3%, so that seems about right. ![]() TLDR: BM took about a 3% nerf, at least based on Heroic raiding data. It features a new dungeon that takes place in Karazhan, though it will not replace the old version. Initial 7.2.5 results put every warlock spec, every rogue spec, frost mages, and most hybrid dps specs are above the *highest* hunter spec (which is still BM, at least in heroic.) So the people reporting that they’re suddenly much worse relative to their fellow raiders are probably on to something. Patch 7.1.0: Return to Karazhan is the first major content patch of Legion. HOWEVER… I can say without fear of exaggeration that it looks like *most other dps specs have been buffed, not nerfed**. It seems like everyone should have been down slightly it looks like they got BM “about right” with their changes in terms of hitting their desired mark. Given that Nighthold content has been slightly nerfed to account for the across-the-board nerfing of set bonuses, this seems in line with developer intent. (No insult intended with the second possibility, it’s a good thing- dps losses that are actually under your control are better than those that aren’t!) Which probably means that if you’re one of those people reporting 100k+ dps losses, you’re either in a truly unfortunate situation with your gearing, or you still have some adaptation to do with regard to the new optimal playstyle and spec. ![]() Ok, so with the MASSIVE qualifier that this is based on only 5,000 parses or so, BM looks to have lost about 20-30k dps (on average) across all Heroic Nighthold encounters (I sampled Heroic because that’s my personal area of concern my guild is tiny and therefore non-Mythic).
