GC Sudden Death Nerf on Live, What Happened

I have multiple posts of GC saying the devs were unhappy with the Sudden Death nerf, and were not going to implement. Then I log in tonight, and it is implemented.

What happened?

Yesterday, 30% chance on crit. (60% crit raid buffed)

Today, 9% on hit.

That is a nerf, so what happened?

i'm sorry did i say anything about your life? i use them to prove your in game worth.. and you're worth nothing... because you have no understanding of class balance or how arena works.. - Elorahnahim

Q u o t e:
He specifically mentions proc rate in response to that question.

Yes, sorry for any confusion. It has been 9% on beta for some time. We experimented with lowering the proc rate to 4% but it didn't feel good that rare.

I remember specifically discussing the issue that we thought Arms warriors who stacked crit at the expense of everything else could hit too hard, and we didn't want cirt (and axes) to be the only way to gear. I thought as part of that discussion, we said that Sudden Death was being changed to a proc per minute from a chance on crit. If I am mistaken, my apologies. It wasn't meant as a stealth nerf.

I repost in threads all the time. If you didn't know that, you probably haven't read many threads in this forum. I would advise any new poster to read a few threads before starting to post.
