With the weekly reset, it looks like there were some undocumented buffs to Jailer's Gavel of the First Arbiter weapon, making this powerful weapon even more powerful!
Undocumented Change to Jailer Weapon
Along with this reset, two somewhat impactful changes were made to
Marteau du premier Arbitre
:
July 12th, 2022
Bénédiction de victoire assurée
has been changed: the Damage over Time portion of
Pourriture en décomposition
can now critically strike.
Bénédiction d’espoir fauché
has been changed: the Damage over Time portion of
Bénédiction d’espoir fauché
can now critically strike.
While this isn't a groundbreaking change, it has a slight impact, both in expected DPS, simulations, real-world performance of some of these boons, and in certain guide writers having to update their resources.
A History of Stealth Changes
This wave of changes isn't the first to affect
Marteau du premier Arbitre
, and, more importantly not the first undocumented hotfix. Two changes to both of these effects were also bundled as part of Patch 9.2.5 and without corresponding patch notes:
May 31st, 2022
Bénédiction de victoire assurée
has been changed: Multiple players are able to stack up individual
Pourriture en décomposition
DoTs on the same target.
Bénédiction d’espoir fauché
has been changed: Multiple players are able to stack up individual
Bénédiction d’espoir fauché
DoTs on the same target
In Patch 9.2, both
Pourriture en décomposition
and
Bénédiction d’espoir fauché
could not be applied by more than one person at a time. Due to how
Marteau du premier Arbitre
's lengthy cooldown, most players will typically use it simultaneously. If two or more players rolled either
Pourriture en décomposition
or
Bénédiction d’espoir fauché
, only the first player to apply the corresponding DoT to a target was credited with the damage (An
example log
shows both the Blood Death Knight had the Fury Warrior rolling
Pourriture en décomposition
, but only the warrior gaining damage from it).
These changes ought to be on patch notes, even if just for completeness. It allows players, writers of third-party tools and people interested in the inner workings of the game to know that
something
changed and might even allow them to reconsider the value of certain stats, even if slightly. Whilst the 9.2.5 changes to
Marteau du premier Arbitre
were much more significant than yesterday's hotfix (imagine - in the example above, somebody got
zero
value out of their
Marteau du premier Arbitre
), both of them should really have been communicated.
Some bugs still remain with
Marteau du premier Arbitre
, such as the ability to swap it out after use (even for specs unable to dual-wield), so there are definitely further opportunities :-)
The Current Power Level
With the subsequent buffs,
Marteau du premier Arbitre
is turning more and more into an unchallengeable weapon when it comes to Season 4 gearing. It already was at a point where, barring the obvious availability problems, Guardian Druids have a legitimate case to use it and swap it out mid-combat using the fish trick, when this isn't even an Agility weapon.
Some other cool weapons are coming back for Season 4 such as
Jotungeirr, l’appel du destin
for 2H Agility and
Jaithys, la Lame-Prison
for Strength users. It would suck for these other weapons to be completely overshadowed by
Marteau du premier Arbitre
even in situations cases where the other weapons should've excelled instead.
The Importance of PTR Testing
Marteau du premier Arbitre
has one additional interesting bit of trivia related to it: it is one of the only items that was not testable at all on the 9.2 PTR builds. As a result, a lot of the investigative work, and a lot of would-be bugs were initially spotted in the wild once players got their hands on one.
Had this fantastic mace been testable on PTR, one can probably make the case that these bugs would have been flagged up by the community before Patch 9.2 even released, instead of three weeks into it.
