I'm wondering how our dps is going to fair after the nerf in PvE. Are we still going to be viable in dps because right now a large majority of our dps comes from our bleeds.
No one knows yet, no official numbers have been released. All we know is blizz will try to move mastery towards our other abilities.
I assume our bleeds are getting nerfed and are attacks like shred/mangle/or just white damage are getting a buff. It's just my opinion but i think we'll be taking a dps loss because many fights i have to run out of shlt or away from the boss and bleeds are the only dps I have at that moment, it's keeping us competitve atm.
It's not the fact that your bleeds are still ticking when you run out from a boss that is reducing the impact high movement fights have on your DPS - it's the fact that your energy is still regenerating.
The majority of our damage comes directly from converting energy to damage, and so long as we're not running around on max energy not hitting anything we're only really missing out on white damage.. (and uptime on Savage Roar, or possibly trinket procs etc.)
indeed, given that it's probably more likely we'll let one of our bleeds fall off while running around (or find ourselves having to clip them) you may even find that a shift toward heavier direct damage will help - so long as it isn't too heavily focused on white damage.
Blizz never said Nerf but the dmg was gonna shift, meaning the bleeds would do less dmg and other attacks were gonna be buffed so our dmg would stay the same just the way it is inflicted would change a bit.
It seems this nerf/change is brought on by pvp which if it really ends up as just a change I fail to see how that will help any. It would seem that unless you get kited tremendously (which being a druid shouldn't happen) the bleeds would hit for less but your shreds, and mangles would hit harder resulting in a net balance of dmg. I thought the only problem from bleeds was that they were not disspellable and ticked while we were out of range.
