Massive spriest nerfs, 4% reduced dmg across the board to frost mages, and… 150% increase Shiv dmg for Rogues?
Is blizzard even thinking about these changes? For the most part, they literally don’t make sense. Why did ret get a buff?

It’s a prepatch. It will be different as soon as shadowland releases.
Dude.

This. We don’t even have SL numbers yet. I agree its weird they’re tuning at this phase but its not a big deal, there’s no competitive content at the moment.
Is 150% even enough on shiv? Compared to the talent we used to have shiv is weak sauce for assassination

Why not?
Hey ele shaman got a change! but its one 
and its a pvp talent 
and its a nerf that makes no sense 
Just when I made a white worgen priest after 9.0.1 hits. Now i am really looking at the nerfs and buffs once SL hits. Blizzard really has it in for Spriest.
That makes it feel less terrible to press at least.
There seems to be a correlation between these low-IQ prepatch nerf threads and the OP’s post count.
Oh wow, those nerfs are harsh… most upset about the Shadow Crash changes, 3 charges made it actually worth picking, now I’ll probably change it out.
Actually the change has dramatically increased its viability in mythic+, wheras before it wasn’t worth taking at all because you had to wait for 3 charges to get full before getting the full value
Spriests were a mess to begin with and now they are even worse. Honestly, no class has fully recovered from the Legion butchering and the transfer of power from your character to rental equipment.
Cumbersome GCDs, awkward rotations and now this…
By comparison, Classic spriests play wonderfully well, esp if you stack shadow d.

I used it in pvp for AoE burst.
This sounds tasty.

Because I’m fabulous.
Is Blizzard not consistently tweaking everything in the name of balance?
Or maybe…one of the Blizz employees is a rogue and they just want an unfair advantage…
Not really a buff to its anything meaningful.
over200% buffs to shaman look like they initially had no idea what they were doing. And probably still
