Additional Season 4 Class Tuning -- August 9

Generally speaking these nerfs are ‘fine’ since these classes are outliers, however I’d kind like to see warlock get a compensation buff to ST since their infernal will do less damage in those situations.

But apart from that I’d really prefer it if Blizzard buff some more underperforming classes. Havoc DH is doing around half as much damage as these classes and these nerfs won’t noticeably change that. Personally I’d like to see the CD of meta reduced either directly or by buffing the 4pc so that we can have more aoe damage windows.

I understand the principle of nerfing outliers but it doesn’t help me push in any way…

9.1 frost mage was fun to play, season 3 lock was fun to play, then you go and mess up the most fun classes to play on a fundamental level. Entirely changing how frost mage works after it working the same way (frozen orb) for multiple expansions. Instead of using your success as a blueprint for more success. you always instead choose to rip it up and shoot yourself in the foot. This company has a chronic case of self sabotage on so many levels and angles

So when is ‘excelling’ at something bad? How many aoe abilities have to be nerfed before the spec becomes entirely uninteresting to play?

Very well put. Everything fun blizz makes seems to be a accident and instead of buffing specs to be fun they nerf the fun specs.

This might sound weird to reply on the Post that nerf one of warlock specs but…

Hey, just wanted to congratulate the Team on the idea of Seasson 4, its a much better idea and solution for the time period between the end of a Seasson and the start of a new expansion.

Cool way to avoid the usual content drought that have affected other expansions.

Hope this becomes the new default.

Typical response from someone who doesn’t understand not everyone can “just do normal” we as humans all have problems and some can’t “just do normal”.

Does it ever occur that we all don’t play same way yet your type keeps spouting the same stuff so if I did normal but had to leave in middle or how about I do normal then I get pain are you going to say it is ok because we don’t mind and told you to do normal.

No your kind will kick me and prevent me from even trying.

This is so bad. How about you buff underperforming specs instead of ruining the only viable ones?

How about some Ret Paladin buffs.

You do realise the only places this is going to matter is lower kara and gambit - the rest of the pool of dungeons are basically 5-10 mobs so in essence this is just a buff to SV/Destro.

Remember when you nerfed arms tier and necro fury but buffed destro 5% from the 9.2 ptr a few days before it went live? Give arms the original tier set 20% str bonus, give necro fury the full glory extension. Experimental season what does it even matter.

Probably this:

Notice a trend? And if you dig down on individual dungeons you need to go 400-500 parses deep before you get a page that’s a mix of specs with less than 50% of parses coming from those two specs.

I still think we need more dungeon tuning. Kharazam is craked

It definitely is a breath of fresh air…or reused air. Not sure I’ve ever ran this many keys in 1 week before…but I’m really enjoying it.

Nerfing the outliers on the high end is great n all but how about some buffs for the outliers on the low end too?

goo goo gaa gaa waga baga bobo 2 most overperforming specs getting rightfully nerfed to be closer in line with the rest of the classes which makes other specs an option blisard bad

This is stupid. Why don’t you buff all the stuff that sucks. This is the last season that is just supposed to be for fun. Make it actually fun. Blizzard’s ideas for a game are so idiotic sometimes. IT’S A GAME. Who cares if stuff’s OP and you steamroll dungeons at the end of the expansion. That’s how it’s supposed to be.
