-no fix for premade Queues to where only 5 can Queue (no raid groups)
or make premades Queue against only other premades.
-no heals debuff on priests
-no hunter nerf…

alright… this is my last month probably.
Most people that pay for your game have been actively coming to these forums for weeks telling you where the issues lie and what means the most. We don’t appreciate being ignored.

This sounds like a buff for flavor of the month healers to get people to reroll, the. Nerf them into oblivion at level 40.

Please go back to retail - there’s a reason these things only exist in a dying game like retail.

naw, SWD was bad before, penance outdid it in damage as well, the issue with this buff is that it’s gonna cause us to inflict like 300-400 damage to ourselves every ~10 seconds on shadow, which is gonna hurt a lot

  • No Healing nerf for Priests
  • Nothing about Premades ruining PvP

I WILL 100% UNSUB if this two things are not adressed by the time this sub runs out.

I don’t play retail, that’s no reason to ignore the obvious fixes to the balance of the current system.

every other game in existence that has competitive play has premade groups queue against other premade groups.

The only people that play Premade to Queue against random PuGs are bad at the game.

Dang ya’ll are really out of touch huh. Like the others said, no nerfs to priests, healing in general, or premades. That is crazy.

Make it also return mana equal to damage taken.

Makes it even better.

Honestly, i’d kill for that, would also mean it’s like a life tap for shadow, which is kinda cool

Maybe in PVP, but it’s still a meme spec for PVE.

Got it. So really a nerf to those that penance then swd is the consensus? Lock shadow finisher haunt comes at the expense of meta and chaos bolt…
