Detonate
IIRC, with full 15 in Immo tree, it used to deal 744 on the DoT portion.
Now with 15 in Immo tree, it deals 252 on the DoT portion.
That's a reduction of 66%.
Now, for those of you who follow my posts on this forum, I had said that for the 1.0.6 BW nerfs, what made more sense to me instead of Mythic's approach was:
* leaving Combustion as-is
* nerfing Detonate DoT damage
* nerfing Rain of Fire damage
My reason being that it's Detonate and RoF that account for the lion's share of damage that BWs did in scenarios. An across-the-board reduction to Combustion crit chance is an inelegant way of nerfing all BW damage instead of addressing the 2 abilities that are over-the-top.
Now Mythic's gone and not just nerfed Combustion but nerfed Detonate DoT damage as well.
I don't frankly care about the fix/reduction to the direct-damage (DD) portion of Detonate, because that only applied to 1 target.
EDIT: there was no mention of this change in the patch notes. This is looking like an unpleasant surprise to most of us.
