So I was happy to see warriors got a 15% dmg buff, then I also seen most of the classes got pretty good damage buffs as well. Does this sort of mean warriors didn’t really get buffed since so many other classes got big buffs too?
My Ally main this expansion… Shadow Priest.
Today is a good day! 
Well I’m happy your happy friend
ty ty 
People NOT happy today. Unholy DK’s. lol
To your Warrior point… at least Arms Warriors can say… “Hey, At least we’re not a DK!”

Serious question: what are you smoking, and can I have some?
I thought about copy/pasting some of the changes but that too much. I mean hey I hope I’m wrong but just from a quick scrolls there’s so many “damage increased” for each class/spec minus maybe 3 or 4.
If everybody gets buffs, does anything really change is my question
Balance Druids, Shadow Priests, Fury Warriors, Ret Pallies, Havoc DH’s, Feral Druids, All Hunter specs, Elem/Enh Shaman’s, Sub Rogues… for whatever reason.
All got double digit buffs. That’s A LOT

What is a 100% increase to stuff all?
That’s right, 100% more stuff all!
yes. cause oh man did some get nerfs. I think you’re a bit reaching with the minus 3 or 4. Just looking at DPS classes… I’d say about 50% received buffs.

Full transparency, I skimmed all the classes I don’t play. Which is all but 2. But I did see the word “increase” way more than decrease in my skimming
Frankly I’m generally just happy they’re tuning.
I said I’d try to ride-or-die one class this expansion and that’s Paladin. Grateful for the buffs incoming for Retribution.
As to the question no. I think it’s not a net neutral as some classes have been nerfed. Always good to be grateful you aren’t being tuned down.

So if you get cake, but everyone else also gets cake…does that make your cake a lie?

Every class could be doing 150k dps and the class at 147k dps would still be crying and moaning for buffs/nerfs
The cake is always a lie.
As a shadow priest, I’m happy with the changes. I just hope it makes it feel like my dots and mind flay actually deal damage now. That’s been my biggest issue so far, and not just with Shadow Priest, is that the basic/filler spells and abilities feel like they do next to nothing in terms of damage.
Did you miss the part where Spriest can’t AoE anymore?
66% nerf on their whole AoE.
Arms did get a big buff but it’s not enough. They will likely get another big buff next Tuesday. I “think” bliz probably didn’t want to overdo it so they broke it into 2 weeks

the way I see it the paladin got the best buffs
we will still be bottom tier and back to gutter tier when .5 hits because slayer getting nerfed heavily.
tldr arms is dead
Warriors are more than just arms spec. Fury is currently simming at ~4th place in M+ DPS sims.
This is before the changes today, so obviously will be a bit different with other classes getting some significant buffs as well.
Im in a few warrior group chats.
The prevailing consensus is that Arms is a dead spec and is in line for a complete rework.
Microsoft didnt have the time to work on it before Midnight launch, so its getting pushed to a .1 or a .2 patch.
They are buffing fury to help compensate for this absolute abomination of a spec.
Do not play arms. Its currently (post 3/17) simming about 35% less damage ST than Feral druid. Thats how awful it is. 35%!!!
Do not play arms. Play fury or play a different class. Wait for the rework.
