Patch 7.1 PTR Build 22685 changes

[Sosaria]

Hey guys, I'm a bit confused with the changes to Combustion/Molten armour.

In the notes it says:
Molten Armor grants an additional 10% critical strike chance.
Name changed from Combustion to Molten Armor

Then it says:
Molten Armor Increases your spell critical strike chance by 10% and reduces all Physical damage you take by 6%.

Which one is it....? Molten armour getting straight 10% or we getting 2 lots of Molten armour changes meaning we're getting 20% crit chance?

Or... a nerf?

[Sosaria]

Oh dear lord, if I'm reading it right, I think Fire Mages are getting a 5% crit chance buff....?!

Molten Armor grants an additional 10% critical strike chance. -- Rank 2, Requires level 65

Molten Armor Increases your spell critical strike chance by 10% and reduces all Physical damage you take by 6%. - Requires Lvl 50

You read it wrong.
There's only 1 Molten Armor spell. The level restrict and all are most likely Tooltip bug or something.

The important things here is that it's value will be decrease from +15% crit to +10% because Fire might be too powerful in 7.1 gear.

I guess komma was spot on that fire scales up faster compared to other specs.

Will 7.1 increase the max Ilvl? Because it seems that 7.2 will bring it to 920 but I don't know if 7.1 will do anything to that regard.

I don't know. I suppose it's most likely that it will give gearing possibility for non mythic raid player.

But by the time 7.1 go live, we will be at 34/34 artifact (or very soon) with our second Legendary slot unlocked (or very soon).

Just to clear it up: nothing is changing at max level. Molten Armor will still give 20% crit as it does now.

The datamined info you're seeing is related to leveling. At level 50, you get Molten Armor spell which gives 10% crit (and 6% physical damage reduction) and then at level 65, you get second rank that increases crit by additional 10%.

The second slot unlocks in a couple of weeks and this raid might last 2 more months or more.

Molten armor gives us 15% crit, are you saying we're getting buffed?

Molten Armor has been 20% crit for quite some time now, the tooltip just hasn't been updated.
