Spell Comparison
Quote from Blizzard staff
Companion Pets

• Mr. Chilly is no longer named Oswald and got his old name back.

Death Knight
Unholy

• Scourge Strike has been revamped - An unholy strike that deals 50% of weapon damage as Physical damage plus 400 (Shows as 40000 in the tooltip but I'll assume it's a typo). In addition, for each of your diseases on your target, you deal an additional 25% of the Physical damage done as Shadow damage.
• Unholy Blight now deals 10% of the damage done by Death Coil over 10 sec. (Down from 20%)

Druid
Restoration

• Gift of the Earthmother now increases your total spell haste by 2/4/6/8/10%

Hunter
Pet

• Culling the Herd - When your pet's Claw, Bite, or Smack ability deals a critical strike, you and your pet deal 1/2% increased damage for 10 sec.

Mage
Fire

• Improved Scorch now increases spell critical strike chance against the target by 5% but no longer stacks. (Up from 1%, Stacks up to 5)

Ice

• Frozen Core now also causes your Ice Lance criticals to reduce the cast time of your next Frostbolt or Frostfire Bolt by 0.4/0.7/1 sec.

yay finally! That makes scorch on par with imp shadow bolt. Also no more paining over a glyph slot choice.

 

[Germaximus]

lol I have a mage but im confused on wtf that actually means.

I suppose i could be too high.

 

[Vye]

haha
Scorch will no longer stack. A single cast will apply the 5% crit debuff. Previously I had to cast 5 times or use the [item]Glyph of Improved Scorch[/item] which nerfed personal dps because better glyphs are available.
The new scorch glyph will just affect personal dps (+20% scorch damage or something - I doubt this will be significant - will be interesting to see) so it will be easy to assess in comparison with the other available glyphs. In fact there are only really 3 glyphs which affect personal dps so it's usually a no-brainer to use those. With 2+ fire mages no one really needs the scorch glyph anyway - 2 or 3 casts each was all that was needed. Evil and Xiki tend to prefer arcane atm so I have always has this glyph quandary.

 

[Germaximus]

Up from 1%, Stacks up to 5

Thats whats confusing me.

 

[Vye]

This is what happens currently. Each scorch debuffs the boss for 1% crit. Need to cast 5 scorches to stack the debuff up to 5%.
After the change a single scorch will apply the 5% crit debuff.
Am I answering the right question?

 

[Germaximus]

I dont get why it "stacks to 5" when a single scorch does it is all. lol

 

[iruel]

because shadowbolt can crit better
but frostfireboltslows the mob down
so tentatively incinerate crits higher

 

[Vye]

Single scorch doesn't do it all yet until 3.3 drops.

Currently: scorch is 1% crit debuff, stacks up to 5 times
After 3.3 patch: scorch is 5% crit debuff, doesn't stack

 

[Waggz]

They are putting the glyph into the base talent now. Thus scorch bitch can do it in one shot and free the glyph for something productive.

Currently:
Talent + glyph = 1 scorch = 5%
Talent + no glyph = 1 scorch = 1% which means 5 scorches til 5%

3.3 Patch:
Talent = 1 scorch til 5%
glyph = free slot for something better!

 

[Germaximus]

Yeah it was just the wording that through me off.
