Re: PTR Notes Patch 3.3
Good stuff. Looks like they're setting up the felhunter as the affliction pet of choice, and Demonology is getting a nice buff there. If i'm reading that right, we'll be able to get off more than one Soulfire with a single Decimation (they've basically removed the "next" form it). |

Re: PTR Notes Patch 3.3
My thoughts on all this (if everything sticks): -Affliction is getting a fairly large boost. 15% increased dot damage is a pretty large increase to overall dps. -Demonology is also recieving a large boost. Decimation weaving will now be over. If you read the tooltip, soul fires themselves now cause the effect. ie, soul fire chain casting. -Destruction is unfortunately receiving a pvp nerf as conflagrate's burst potential is being lowered by 25%. In pve, it's not going to be such a big deal, as the damage caused should stay the same (at least in fights longer than 5 sec :D ) Demonlogy is obviously getting the biggest boost here. Being able to chain cast decimations will not only make it a hell of lot easier, but cause much more damage. |

Re: PTR Notes Patch 3.3
Now this is interesting... Improved Felhunter makes shadow bite cooldown shorter, plus the other general overall felhunter buff of 15% more damage from shadowbite for each dot on the target may change the pet of choice from Succy to Felhunter. For Demonology, if you can chain free Soulfires for 8 seconds with 60% haste...I'm imagining what would happen under the influence of heroism/bloodlust. And Demonic Pact is a 5% damage increase. I approve of this buff Although I also wonder what it'll do to PVP...you get a SB on someone below 35%, then you can go around throwing free soulfires at other people (I'm thinking of a bg situation here...) until the 8 seconds are up.But is the AOE damage change a nerf or a buff? It almost seems a nerf...you perhaps hit more at a time, but they go down slower? I'd like to see that in action with, say, a hunter, mage, and warlock aoeing down whelps or something and time it to see if it alters encounters where getting adds down fast is key. (Was AOE ignoring some of the adds before once a damage limit was reached? Or how does that work atm on live?) The Conflag change looks like a PVP nerf...you get 11 seconds rather than 12 seconds in total, but only burst for 8 of them if conflagging off a immolate...the other 3 are a dot. |

Re: PTR Notes Patch 3.3
That is nice -- should be able to refresh a dot or move without throwing the timing all off. |

Re: PTR Notes Patch 3.3
Wonder what this will mean for the old hybrid spec? It will be missing the DP buff, but if you can get the right fire damage buffs to throw incinerate followed by chain soulfire....hmmm...

re: Patch 3.3 Notes
I didn't see this change in either of the patch note threads so I decided to tag it on to this one... Curse of the Elements: Rank 4 has been increased to 11%, up from 10%. Source
