  1. I'm so tired of all the Nerfs. It is depressing. Why don't they just start low and slowly buff up instead of starting out outrageously and nerfing down?
    Also it appears they are using Pre-patch results to predict Shadowlands outcomes. For example — Why would you Nerf Lavasurge from a 15% proc rate to 10%? They did it because Ele had a trait that gives 18% lavasurge proc rate and Ele were performing too well in Pre-patch. They nerfed something that has existed for expansions.
    Yeah, Frost mages needed some nerfs but they have been nerfed every week for the past 3 weeks. It sucks for people following week to week.
    Okay, I'm done ranting. Great video.

  2. As someone who has been playing the beta alot. I have to disagree with the breakdown dps that were given for Soulbinds. Nadjia's Thrill Seeker ability is good, though it takes up to 80 seconds for it to get going. You can not hold on to Icey Veins for 80 seconds at the start of a fight to get the full 50% haste benifit. It also will only line up correctly with the spec every 3 mins and even then you have to watch and make sure you hit it at the right time.
    Emeri gives a nice Int buff, though that signature ability is just so blaa. It would be much better if for the duration of any spell you cast cleaves, then we could be talking.
    I have no idea why the chart did not include Kyrian: Pelagos. Combat Meditation gives a decent supply of Mastery (not our best stat I know) of 350 for 10 seconds every 30 seconds. You also can run through an orb to extend the buff by an additional 3 seconds. Palagos' final ability Let Go of the Past was recently nerfed from 5 stacks for 5% vers to 3 stacks for 3% Vers, though it's an easy buff to maintain when you want to do some big damage. For example, when you get a Brain Freee proc, activate Radiant Spark (1% vers) then use your Flurry (2% Vers) then pump out 2 Ice Lances (3% Vers on the first Ice Lance, the second one will be in that 6 seconds buff window). In this combo, you will have +350 Mastery and +3% Vers for 10 sec/ 6 seconds respectively.
