The PvP nerf to Elem and Enhance has yet to be explained.
I don't claim to study every classes issues so maybe this isn't that unique but I can't recall a time when a power was nerfed (in our case a power has been completely removed) without any discussion before of after the change.
I think it's astounding but maybe it isn't. Does this happen to other classes? I can't think of a time.
edit: obviously I'm referring to the nova totem nerf. it was possible to buff PvE without nerfing PvP.

Q u o t e:
Then you have not been playing the game very long.
edit: lulz pvp title
actually, trying to think of some.
I've been playing since day one and I can't think of one.
There have been stealth nerfs and nerfs taht didn't make it into the patch notes but somebody to blizzard has come to the forums to explain them. I can't think of one that was just outright treated as if it hasn't happened.

Q u o t e: DKs were never told exactly why Heart Strike was nerfed to 50% dmg on the off target strike
most are sure its to tone down the aoe, but there never any official word
GC commented on heart strike here:

That was in a thread where somebody asked for a comment. There have been dozens of requests about this nerf and they've all been ignored to the best of my knowledge.

Are you referring to the Fire Nova change?

Q u o t e: sure 'nuff
So, you're complaining about not getting an explanation for a change that's been on the PTRs for four days.
Forgive me if I sound harsh, but, really?

Q u o t e: everything else on this forum has had a blue post by GC himself but this remains completely untouched so it wasn't a data mining mistake... he's ignoring us
Four days is him ignoring you? Did you even pay attention to the Wrath beta?
Seriously, keep up with the feedback on it(make sure it isn't just wanton QQ) and actually test it out on the PTRs. If it goes through to live(months from now, I feel the need to point out for some reason), and it still hasn't been explained, then he's ignoring you.
