[moonkin] - balance of power tooltip wrong

#0 - Aug. 7, 2009, 7:06 p.m.

With the patch, the balance of power tooltip was changed to read:

Balance of Power
Increases your chance to hit with all spells and reduces the damage taken by all spells by 3% / 6%.

It should read:
Increases your chance to hit with all spells by 2%/4%, and reduces the damage taken by all spells by 3% / 6%.

Moonkin doing testing on the PTR found that that you're only gaining 4% +hit, which is the same as it was before. However, a lot of people are really confused and think that we somehow got a 2% +hit buff.

Is the tooltip going to get fixed eventually, or are we supposed to be getting +6% to hit with spells? I think it's just a tooltip problem, personally. However, I wanted to at least try to bring it to people's attentions, since it went live without a tooltip change (which should have been an easy fix!).

Okay, I see the problem here. The tooltip says "Increases your chance to hit with all spells and reduces the damage taken by all spells by 6%."

This can be interpreted two ways:

Increases your chance to hit. Also reduces damage taken by 6%.

Or

Increases your chance to hit by 6% and reduces damage taken by 6%.

Back when both numbers were 4%, the distinction didn't matter. However, the first one is correct. We only changed the defensive part of the talent to reduce damage taken rather than reduce chance to be hit.

We need to change the tooltip to "Increases your chance to hit with all spells by 4% and reduces the damage taken by all spells by 6%."
