We want to give everyone a heads-up on the upcoming changes to the Onyx Annulet, and its Primordial Stones, so that you can best prepare for the Fractures in Time update.
- Onyx Annulet - Primordial Stones that deal damage now deal 40% less damage.
We are lowering the effectiveness of all Primordial Stones that deal damage by 40% to increase the amount of gearing options for players going forward. We will be compensating specific specializations for this damage loss, and we have listed the current details in the PTR notes here.
To compensate healers for this damage decrease, we are also increasing their baseline damage in Fractures in Time. Additionally, we are reducing the effectiveness of damage contribution to healing spells to preserve similar healing outputs. This will result in an overall increase in healer damage in situations where the Onyx Annulet is not utilized, but we feel there is room for healer damage to increase in this space without overly incentivizing offensive play.
