Breath of Ro

[Fountree]

Mask of the hunter is fixed, but another very important druid spell, Breath of Ro, has had its damage reduced to 92 from 103 per tick post-patch. Using it currently on a rooted Froglok Forager and it is showing 92dmg per tick. Was this intended? If not, needs a fix.

Interesting. wonder why it was set at 103 then. Thanks again Ele

Working as intended. The system for updating spell data based on timeline was patched in, and included some corrections to current era.

FYI, Breath of Ro before this fix only did 927 damage total. It did 103 damage per tick but only lasted 9 ticks as opposed to the 10 ticks it lasts now.


So basically BoR went from 225 mana 927 damage in 9 ticks to 250 mana 920 damage in 10 ticks. Not really too bad of a nerf, if you even consider it one at all.
