Instead of getting 10-12% damage reduction, we will get 8.5%-10.5%, and lose 1.5% crit chance reduction and 3.3% crit damage reduction to get more
wow gold. This is a bigger nerf than it looks.
A big part of Neilyo-kuns struggle in WOTLK is because the game is too fast for his older container to handle. When I questioned Azaels decision to run affliction over destruction against SK-US in the regionals, Neilyo-kun said you could never beat elite RMPs as destruction, because the priest will "put the warlock on focus and dispel your immolation the second it hits and stop all of your burst attempts" about
wow gold. Forget the fact that the warlock can spell lock the priest to guarantee his burst, that the warlock team can have other debuffs on the target, that the priest can be stuck in his own global or forced to heal or CCed about

The risk/reward system was broken somewhere along the line. My best guess is their hidden rating actually went above 3000, so they started to go up in points despite a 50-50 record against lower rated teams. Blizzard did not anticipate a team like Bilian that hit 2900 first two weeks into the season, and they certainly did not anticipate two 3000 teams. I think something got screwed up when they made it easier to gain ratings in 3v3/5v5 to get more
