The minor tuning changes last build were intended to move a small amount of healing from Wild Growth to Rejuvenation, and to slightly increase costs overall due to the class's currently high efficiency, especially on a single target (the latter part is mostly represented by the Swiftmend change). But, we agree the simultaneous healing and cost increase on Rejuvenation looks like it fights against the mastery. Next build will move Rejuvenation's healing and cost slightly back down. Both changes are quite small, but should be noticeable on a spell as frequently used as Rejuvenation. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

We are aware of the Atonement bug in Legion scaling areas (thanks for the detailed report), and are working on a fix. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Good data/feedback. What % of the LotM damage were you counting as negative healing? (Celestalon)
For my stats, 265% SP (450 / 1.3 from stoicism, 1.15 from Knight of the Silver Hand, 1.02 from vers). Is that what you mean?
It sounded like you were counting some of the damage taken against its healing, as if it were negative healing. What % of it? (Celestalon)
Not really a percent of the healing, I did 450% * crit * mast * vers - 265%
Right, so if it heals for ~40k, and damages you for 15k, the effective healing is somewhere between 25k and 40k. (Celestalon)
Clearly, neither of those extremes is reasonable in practice. Factor in things like Overhealing to help, but still subjective. (Celestalon)
Right and in a situation where we know we won't take lots of damage, but a specific target will, LotM is strong.
Aye. At a minimum, any overhealing you'd have received following it is no longer overhealing. (Celestalon)
Yep. Being able to play with it in raids and with predictable damage will help to see its potential
Indeed. So which does your data reflect, 25k, 40k, or somewhere in the middle? (Celestalon)
Both HPM and HPCT are based on the 25k. I usually try do any outside tuning based on logs, which I don't really have yet.
OK, so that data is worst case, got it. Thanks. (Celestalon)
Achievements
How about as a reward with Crazy Cat Lady title, you can have more than 3 of the various cat pets?
at some point, we're saving you from yourself (Muffinus)
PvP
Any chance on removing the premade tab for Ashran? Looking at both horde/alliance - it's filled with tons of premade groups. Sad
They'd just go to Custom if we removed it. (holinka)

Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

It was LFR IMO. Since the group had no owner, nobody had perspective or authority to call for a different strat or call the raid. (OccupyGStreet)
why be in there then? The point of raids is to work together & defeat the biggest of the bads not everyone do their own thing
There isn't a ton of motivation to work with a group of strangers when the game can just find you another group trivially. (OccupyGStreet)
I also want to reiterate that I am taking blame here, not distributing it. (OccupyGStreet)
Computers - Setup of the Month
Each month or so we will post a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!
This month
The current SSD prices are fairly flat right now, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale. New GPUs may be coming towards the middle of this year
Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D15.
Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 6700K and should spend that money elsewhere.
Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date.
Don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!
