I hope you don't have a sentinel. With talents and gear sentinel watchman has a 80% crit with fire, and 100% under zen. To say that a sentinel ESPECIALLY specced watchman is not "reliant on Surge" means that you have not understood anything about this class/spec. Of course it's nerf for all class, and the watchman is among those most nerfate

I do not think i've read before, boring bug in JK, the penultimate boss, the 1v1. I'm specced watchman and talents that heal the raid count for me as interfering in someone's fighting, so i always have the debuff that reduces damage to 0. Even without using burning effect skill i take always the debuff, make my useless in this fight. As the name of the skill tree i can only WATCH.
