So GC has talked about the upcoming nerf to hunters here

The noteable one is:

Quote:

We are also improving the armor on level 83 raid bosses by 10%. This will be a nerf to the dps of any class that does physical damage.

Has these nerfs been put into affect yet on beta? Just curious as to how much of an affect this has on rogue DPS. A good bit of our DPS is through poisons and bleeds, but last nights Kara run on the bosses ~50% of my damage is from mutilate and normal melee. So I would imagine this is going to impact rogues quite a bit.

The saving grace is he did say:

Quote:

For classes that would slide behind with such a change, we'll take steps to adjust them-- though it probably isn't as many as you think.

I couldn't imagine rogues not fitting into this category. Definately going to be interesting to see how things pan out.

It hasn't been implemented.

It's a nerf, but it's not a huge one. Boss armor values are going up by 10%, not 10% flat mitigation. Using level 70 numbers here, after debuffs caster bosses would have 3420 armor (24.4% reduction) instead of 2800 (20.9% reduction), which means you'll be dealing about 95.6% of the damage you would have before the change. Non-caster bosses are going from 4300 (28.9% reduction) to 5070 (32.6% reduction), which gives you about 94.8% of the damage you would have had.

It's not a huge hit.
