Blizzard
Hello!Thank you for all of your continued feedback on
法师 changes in Shadowlands. Below, you'll find the latest changes in the Alpha, which includes reverting
闪光术 to 2 charges, further talent tuning, and the removal of the short lived Frost and
防护火焰结界.There has a been a lot of great discussion in this thread and we hope to see it continue!
法师- 闪光术 charge count increased to 2.
- 闪光术 cooldown Increased to 25 seconds (was 20 seconds).
Developers' notes: After listening to feedback and more playtesting, we are returning both charges of 闪光术 at a slightly higher cooldown cost. Our goal with the change was to bring more it inline with the other talents on the row, but in doing so, 闪光术 lost a lot of its identity. If the other talents on the tier continue to underperform, we'll look at ways we can enhance them to be more attractive options while up against 闪光术.
专注魔法 now also grants the caster 1% Intellect, stacking up to 8 times when their
专注魔法 target critically strikes.
- Developers' notes: We'd like for Focus Magic to reward the caster a bit more for taking an ally friendly talent.
防护冰霜结界 and
防护火焰结界 removed from all specs.
- Developers' notes: Compared to some of the other abilities, these two landed a little flat and overlapped a bit too much with each of the Barriers.
Fire Specialization 阿莱克丝塔萨之怒 now also makes your next
炎爆术 or
烈焰风暴 deal 35% increased damage.
- Developers' notes: We're looking to make this more competitive with the 烈焰飞舞 and the future 不死鸟之焰 replacement.
