Bloodthirsty change

Okay, I didn't see much talk about it, so I might have understood something wrong here (I don't have access to the pts, I can only read the patch notes), but besides them annihilating necro's and ridiculously buffing DKs for no reason, that bloodthirsty change really hit me hard. As I understand it, bloodthirsty would give double the bonus stats compared to an infused jewelry piece with a weapon damage glyph starting right there at 90% making infused finally absolutely worthless in comparison. Considering that (prominently) DKs can wear Mara to achieve godlike tankiness while still being able to deal ridiculous amounts of damage and them receiving two tools to skyrocket that damage pretty much for free, I am absolutely in fear of what could come to the live server next patch. And I am a DK main ffs. Please just tell me I got it all wrong.

One trait gives a universal bonus to healing and damage, and the other gives only a bonus to damage. If your dk wants more damage then so be it but you lower your healing and regen bonus.

The legendary quality bloodthirsty remains the same. They only buffed the lower quality bloodthirsty trait to not punish as much for not golding out jewelry.

Yup and yet people were upset over this thinking the overall strength of it (ie on legendary) was getting buffed. Lol

Ah, that's an okay change then, thank you for the clarification
