Return of Reckoning

Was there a nerf to Shaman base stats? my Willpower and my armor so far is not what it used to be and i have the same things on

idk, my shammy is fine, renown and mastery has been reset, reassign them
cant find "Gimme Dat" tactic tho

"Archmage/Shaman
- Swapped the skills at lifetap 5 and damage 5. As there was no client patch, this will not be fully reflected on the client.
- The Empowered Lores tactic and its Shaman mirror will now only build extra mechanic points when the ability actually builds rather than consumes mechanic points.
- Gork's Barbs will now inflict its damage as direct damage in a 30ft AoE when the target receives a direct heal. This effect cannot be triggered more than once every second.
- The cooldown of Gork's Barbs is now 20s.
- Dissipating Energies is now 5s duration, 1s tick and 20s cooldown.
Da Waaagh! Is Coming will change with a client patch if necessary."

And the gap widens...

- M4 Alter Fate is now operational.

Was this a difficult fix? This never worked on live, and I always wondered why Mythic didn't fix it; was it too difficult or were just not sure if it would be overpowered or not?

Alter Fate was broken simply because the heal information was not synced up with the component. It was a one liner fix. The issue was however specific to Return of Reckoning and had nothing to do with any bugs Alter Fate may have had under Mythic.

I have updated the OP to list known bugs with this patch, and one of them is that Gork's Barbs does not inflict damage. I or someone else will hotfix next time the server goes down.

May I ask why after 1 week, rampage was reverted back? I’m not complaining just curious why such a quick revert if Aza seemed so sure about it.

Squig Herder Skill Indisgetion in Path of ´Bouncing is not there.

It was the wrong direction in which to go, especially with the defense reversion. The existence of Rampage is not the problem; that ID is/was good for both ST and AoE is.

No other class can ignore defense with such a high uptime. Why isn't it considered as too powerful?

I appreciate the answer. I also agree that rampage isn’t the issue either however my pov could be seen as bias. May I ask what direction you are looking to take Slayer in general? Keep tweeking 2h, change rage usage ??

To be ever more specific, my stated intention was to make the Slayer 2h spec more effective ST than the AoE spec, and the inverse with respect to AoE. Changing Rampage doesn't accomplish that.

I intend to tweak Precarious Assault and Reckless Blow further to cover the use case of Spellbreaker, then reform Spellbreaker into a proper 13 pointer instead of a damage spam and potentially adjust Violent Impacts, Spine Breaker and their mirrors.
