Patch 6.1 PTR Discussion

[Komma]

A little bit late since datamined details were available since Friday, but here it is anyway. Let's keep the discussion in one place.

Mage changes:
1. Deep Freeze changed to break only upon Ice Lance.
2. Glyph of Ignite replaces Glyph of Frostfire Bolt: Ignite now slows the target's movement by 40%.
3. (Unconfirmed) Presence of Mind affects Polymorph

All the damage changes were only tooltip changes, so there were no damage buffs or nerfs.

[TLTeo]

It feel like the changes are incomplete, you'd expect more tuning for every class..possible fire/arcane scaling nerfs in our case

I actually like the Glyph of Ignite changes. I use Frostfire Bolt when questing(mostly for the Slow) and Fireball when Raiding, and sometimes I forget to change the keybinds when i remove the glyph. There were a lot of wtf moments wondering why my FFB was casting so slow.

The Glyph of Ignite change is kind of intriguing if Inferno Blast spreads the slow. Also would allow you to keep up the slow on spread-out targets more easily by using Pyroblast! procs for the off-target.

Edit: a downside of the new change is that you can't switch to Frostfire Bolt when you get your Fire school locked out (i.e. Thok/Twin Ogron), assuming they will prune Frostfire Bolt from the Fire spec.

So, I'm confused with all the tooltips fixes, what are the real changes?

Erm, the first post kinda lists it?

[Festen]

So all the frost changes, on frostbomb, frostfire, icelanCE etc. are tooltips fixes?

[TLTeo]

Yep

Hmm, I must've missed this. Did it say where this food comes from?
