Neue Woche neuer Build für die Beta und erneut haben die Entwickler sehr viele Anpassungen am Tuning vorgenommen. Dabei ging es vor allem um die Paktfähigkeiten der Klassen, aber auch um einzelne Klassenfertigkeiten, die noch einmal gebufft oder geschwächt wurden. Außerdem haben die Entwickler noch einmal viele Gegner in den Dungeons der Schattenlande unter die Lupe genommen und Skills entsprechend gebalanced. Zusätzlich gab es Blueposts zu einige Klassen mit weiteren Erklärungen für bestimmte Änderungen. Zudem wurden noch einmal einige Boni der Seelenbande etwas angepasst, ein Bonus sogar komplett überarbeitet.
Hinweis: Auf Grund der großen Menge an Blueposts sowie Änderungen und der aktuell bereits riesigen Arbeit durch Shadowfacts und Klassenguides für den Pre-Patch, können wir leider keine deutschen Übersetzungen anbieten. Doch den finalen Stand der Paktfertigkeiten und Klassen seht ihr aber natürlich in unseren Klassenguides.

Bluepost zum Schurken
In this week’s build of the Shadowlands Beta, we have some notable changes for Outlaw Rogues.
Since both Assassination and Subtlety can apply poisons in AoE relatively easily, we want Outlaw to have access to similar utility. As such, Blade Flurry hits can now apply poisons to any enemies hit.
We’ve also changed the Between the Eyes debuff. It no longer gives you increased Critical Hit Damage against the target; it now gives you increased Critical Strike Chance against the target. This allows Blade Flurry to spread the damage bonus of this debuff to secondary target.
Thanks again for your testing and feedback!

In this week’s new build of the Shadowlands Beta, we’ve updated two covenant abilities, Abomination Limb and Shackle the Unworthy.
Abomination Limb has been target capped at 5, and its damage has increased by 15%. The grip has also been updated so it may only pull the same target every 4 seconds. This change was made to prevent it from encouraging the Death Knight to repeatedly walk out of range and then pull the same target.
We’ve also added a new functionality to the ability that grants Bone Shield charges, Rime, or Runic Corruption (based on spec) the first time the Limb pulls an enemy (this only occurs once). We hope this change will broaden the usage of the ability outside of PvP.
Shackle the Unworthy has had its damage increased by 15%, but no longer has its cooldown reduced when spending runes. Instead of the cooldown reduction, it now works as follows: “While Shackle the Unworthy is active on an enemy, your direct-damage attacks that spend runes have a 50% chance to spread Shackle the Unworthy to a nearby enemy”.
We hope this change gives the ability a more active playstyle and creates more situations where it might be more useful than its previous iteration.
Thanks for the continued feedback, and we look forward to your thoughts on these recent changes.

Hello.
In this week’s build of the Shadowlands Beta, the Misshapen Mirror legendary has been changed. It now increases Spell Reflect duration by 60% and only affects your nearest ally.
Previously, this legendary was proving to be stronger than intended.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

Bluepost zum Tuning
In today’s updated build of the Shadowlands Beta, testers will see a snapshot of the the process of tuning several Shadowlands systems, which is underway. We’re in the midst of recalibrating the throughput of several Covenant abilities, and while in some cases the magnitude of the change may feel large, it’s necessary to bring outlier abilities in-line with our targets, so that players can make more accurate comparisons between abilities.
Thank you for all of your help as we iterate on these abilities based on your feedback.
PrePatch kommt auch nicht... Kann mir das Geld wohl echt besser spare .
Hat jemand eine Erklärung dafür, dass das Überlebentalent Tip of the Spear nun auch für Mongoos Bite gilt obwohl es in der selben Reihe ist? Oo
Also entweder ändern die nochmal die Anordnung der Talente oder es war wie du schon sagtest ein Versehen
