Hello. I'd like to highlight some recent changes that should be testable in the Shadowlands Beta, and will be in place for the live game later today.We've updated Abomination Limb to address the gameplay of having to move out of melee if there are no ranged enemies, to gain 3 Bone Shield charges, Rime, or Runic Corruption.

Abomination Limb now grants the buff on cast and again every 6 seconds for a total of 3 buffs (was 1) if you pulled an enemy.
Given the increase to the consistency and amount of the effect, Abomination Limb damage is reduced by 8%.

The Venthyr ability Swarming Mist has also been updated.

Swarming Mist deals reduced damage when damaging more than 5 targets.

Having Swarming Mist deal reduced damage beyond 5 targets should bring its power more inline with the other Death Knight Covenant abilities.

You don't even have to be in combat.Comment by LinkOfSerevillonRelease in 6hours and they are still testing...Comment by ProfienRelease in 6hours and they are still testing...Comment by gentledementiaSo the "if you pulled an enemy" in the text makes it seem like you still have to get at least one pull off for the resources to generate? But at least not three pulls.

TBH I'd like it if the resource generation and the pull were completely divorced, it's just a minor annoyance if fighting a single target or all melee, etc.

That said unless I'm misreading this this does just seem like bluepost notes for the changes that were pushed out a couple days ago. I don't think these are new-new

Edit: Nevermind!
