Maybe just a test?

Has anyone considered that the Haze change may just be a "large-scale test" rather than a "stealth nerf"? That would explain why it wasn't in the change notes (it's not really 'changed' ..yet..).

Just a thought.

No I think it was an accident. My guess is they were tweaking the Haze line as part of the Priest balancing effort and somehow it accidentally got added as a patch to the live clients. If they wanted a test they would've simply patched the Test server, although I'll admit there's a much smaller sample size on Test.

Hopefully we'll have an official answer today or tomorrow.

If it is test, they better just forget that test as a failure and return to point one.

If the change was intended I hardly believe it's test. They're reducing buffs/debuffs, defences from player side to balance combat. So this is most propably part of it but very stupid to implement now before any other priest or combat changes are made.

I guess the jury's in on this one. We'll have to find other strategies for the mystic, I guess.

*After* the balancing. SMILEY

This was an intentional change, per notes for Test. It shipped early to Live, but welcome to complete gimpness everyone!
