Patch 3.08 will bring the following Enhancement Shaman changes:
Glyph of Windfury Weapon changed from:
to
Since we are all wondering what this change will mean for us I decided to do an approximately 1 hour long fight, only autoattacks on a target dummy on Live and on PTR, using the same gear and only the same totems.
Live: http://wowwebstats.com/altn2rmj45rea?a=xade4a3
Swing (Physical) 4056153 damage 62 %
Windfury Attack (Physical) 1391211 damage 21 %
Flametongue Attack (Fire) 1059910 damage 16 %
Number of Windfury Attacks: 683
PTR: http://wowwebstats.com/skoeu4gujfqza?a=xb4662e
Swing (Physical) 3783135 damage 58 %
Windfury Attack (Physical) 1732833 damage 27 %
Flametongue Attack (Fire) 985742 damage 15 %
Number of Windfury Attacks: 854
As you can see the percentage of Windfury attacks has significantly increased. While on live realms Windfury procced only 683 times, the number of proccs raised to 854 on PTR with 3.08.
The overall damage was a bit lower, due to a higher missrate. This resulted in less normal melee damage and less Flame Tongue damage.
Another thing I noticed was the damage of Windfury Attacks:
Live Windfury Damage:
Avgerage hit: 1556; Max hit: 1850
Average crit: 3203; Max crit: 3788
PTR Windfury Damage:
Average hit: 1564; Max hit: 1906
Avgerage crit: 3212; Max crit: 3815
The glyph should lower the damage, but apparently the damage is exactly the same. This implies that the WF Glyph is currently not working on live Servers.
If these changes come live we can actually look forward to them.
Here are some more undocumented changes and hopefully incoming fixes:
