Second Balance Patch Coming Next Week - Nerf to Millhouse & Larger BG Patch Coming
Dean Ayala just tweeted out the names of the cards that will be nerfed (and buffed!) as well as some details about Battlegrounds game mode, namely that Millhouse Manastorm Hero will get nerfed and that a larger scale BG Patch is planned for mid expansion. Read the details below:
Quote from BlizzardThe second Ashes of Outland balance patch is planned for early next week. Looking to make changes to
- Battlefiend
- Altruis the Outcast
- Glaivebound Adept
- Kael'thas Sunstrider
- Bad Luck Albatross
- Frenzied Felwing
- Open the Waygate
- Bloodbloom
- and Sacrificial Pact.
Details will come later on official channels.
Quote from BlizzardThis update will also include a buff to Libram of Justice and a nerf to Millhouse in BG. We'll continue to monitor live game data and player feedback and make any further changes as necessary.
Quote from BlizzardOur expectation is that changes will slow down a little after this, at least in terms of card nerfs in constructed game modes. We have a larger battlegrounds update planned around mid-expansion. We hope you are enjoying Ashes of Outland and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Hey, a buff, thats unusual.
I hope the large battlegrounds patch is a card set rotation. I thinks it is something blizzard could explore.
I hope the libram silences enemies :)
wow, nerf cards that most of them cannot be dusted, really?
Moore nerfs to DH and soon it will only beat shamans. I really hope Altruis doesn't loose face damage because that's the only wat to beat priests and posibly another control deck in the future.
The problem with DH is that it has individual cards that are simply overpowered. The deck, Tempo Demon Hunter, is really powerful right now, but it's not broken like it was in the past. Still, I think Altruis wasn't the right card to focus on, it's powerful but I never considered it overpowered.
@LadyLiadrin
That would be a significant buff, and i love it!
Except you wouldn't be able to get it back if you didn't have a minion on board, and also you would have to target this on the enemy minion in this case. Still it is a significant buff
Lady Liadrin approves
We could even make it Restore X Health, that would always leave you with a friendly target!
Yes, Atlruis, Battlefiend and Glaivebound are the right cards to nerf.
Determined to make DH unplayable right?
that's to be determined but it will certainly not be OP like it is now.
Noo determined to make a no brain aggro dh unplayble but you can still play other DH archetypes
So we’re having announcements of announcements of nerfs now?
First time?
they didn't announce what will the nerfs will be again? c'mon...
only dh????? other classes no?rogue?evolve shaman??no???ok blizzard
It's awesome that Paladin is getting buffed and well-deserved, but just wondering, was Libram of Justice really the card to focus on? I feel like that card is fine. It is already easily capable of becoming a strictly better equality. Why not something like fixing the forever useless Guardian of Kings?
Classic cards will probably never be buffed, their power level isn't suposed to be too high since they will be in the game forever (unless hall of famed, but that only happens if the card is too strong)
