Yay more nerfs for illusionists!

A friend of mine on beta told me we can no longer expect those nice procs off Bruiser and Zerker AOE abilities. Assuming this is true, since this was is obviously a game breaking ability, this is great news!!

Now we really have nothing to do on raids. Oh other then our mighty dismay buff, our bard like DPS, and our INSANE magic/mental/divine debuff that allows healers, crusaders, chanters and bards to UNLEASH the full fury of their DPS!

And more great news is thanks to AAs we can cast spells that do not work vs epics faster then ever!

:smileywink:

Yes, they fixed it. It's not a nerf. If you didn't expect them to actually fix it, well I dunno.Also our magic/mental/divine debuff doesn't help most priests, shadowknights, or dirges to DPS.

i am curious about how this "fix" looks like in detail. does it only affect illusionist Havoc or is it a general change in how proc buffs are working?

if it only is for Havoc, then yes i would consider it a nerf.

It also fixes Fae Flames proccing in the same way as Prismatic Havoc did(Casted by a Fury, then Bruiser hits Crushing Fury, it goes off 8 times for extra damage, even though it has a limit of 3 procs). Also Spell Whip/Magus reactive procs are affected by this. There's other spells out there that work in this same way, and are getting fixed. I agree, it completely sucks, but oh well, life will have to go on.

Ya several Dirge abilities are mental..but whatever. My point was even our debuffs are pretty lame.

Anyhow, I guess my biggest concern about this is we really have nothing to do on raids. And what we can do is VERY insignificant. Forgetting the parse numbers and crap like that...it was actually FUN to coordinate with other people with havoc procs.

God forbid something be FUN for enchanters on a raid....lol
