After a long holiday, Blizzard employees have resumed work one after another, Blizzard Blue Post issued an announcement on the weakening of the evil DK gargoyle, it seems that Blizzard's magic reform of nostalgic clothes is going to be carried out to the end, let's see what Blue Post specifically says.
It's no secret that the first half of the blue sticker is why the Death Knight Gargoyle is so powerful, I think most nostalgic players know that gargoyles can use various spells, consumables, skill triggers and even colorful gems to snap out super high speed snapshots, shortening the gargoyle attack interval from 2 seconds to a terrifying speed. The gargoyle inherits the strength and rush level of the Death Knight's attack at the moment it is summoned for the duration of the period, which is known as the snapshot mechanism.
The second half of the blue post is about how to deal with the evil DK too powerful, and the data collected by Blizzard shows that if no modifications are made, the Death Knight will be too powerful in the stage of the Wrath of the Lich King, much higher than the DPS of other classes, and whether it is a high-end team or a low-end team, Death Knight players have learned to use the snapshot mechanism to increase the attack speed of the gargoyle, and over time, more and more players who pursue high DPS will choose the Death Knight class. Therefore, Blizzard is currently testing to change the gargoyle's attack speed mechanism to follow-up, of course, the gargoyle's attack intensity will not change, and the snapshot mechanism will still be maintained. Blizzard believes that after the modification, Death Knight will still be the highest DPS class in the Lich King version, which will help reduce the problem of too many classes.
Blizzard said on the blue post that they also do not want to make balance adjustments to other classes of the Lich King Nostalgia Suit, this adjustment is only to prevent the number of players in a certain class from increasing or decreasing sharply, and will insist on trying not to make such adjustments in the future. At present, this change is only in the PTR testing stage, Blizzard will pay close attention to the performance of the Death Knight in Odur, if the impact on DPS is too serious, Blizzard will make further adjustments, and the specific final modification means that you have to wait for the nostalgia.
