Additional Season 4 Class Tuning -- August 9

Need to Nerf Outlaw rogue too - unless the intention is to have them primary spec again like in BFA just because of Blade Flurry and shroud. Maybe just not my cup of tea but, not a fan

Dps Dh in the top 10 melee dps
Tank Dh in the top 20 tanks

If I recall correctly, Dh has an issue with the playstyle of keeping sinful brand going right?

Top IO tank is a paladin.

Only delusional one here is thinking DH was OP throughout Legion and BfA.

They performed well at casual stuff but the minute you primarily started doing high end content they fell off (with some exception, see BfA season 1 Havoc)

Stupid stupid stupid.

Destro needs a big buff blizzard!!!

Why would you do this right before The Great Push?

Class nerfs should have happened after the event not right before. People that planned on maining Hunter or Warlock in the tourney are screwed.

Absolute pin-headed move.

They already postponed the first nerf due to MDI, sometimes there’s no good time to adjust or tune classes… it just has to be done. I get that it throws a curveball to those participating but isn’t that what m+ is about? Skilled players will still find a way to do well.

Goes to show you have no clue how to play survival you do know survival have 3 rotaions right ??

Nope.

The Great Push is when everyone that plays the game has the opportunity to compete. They should have nerfed it before the MDI, those people play every class and can adjust easily while many regular players in WoW just play a couple classes.

This is just Blizzard tipping the scales for their “pro” players and giving the middle finger to the rest of the player base.

Ouch…did you also get hit by a piece of falling sky too? I sure did…

Also I would argue Blizzard should absolutely never put the whims of what amounts to a rounding error on a fraction of a single percent worth of players over the literal 99.9%. Or Blizzard can do what is actually sane and realistic all around and have dedicated tourney realms where they can have entirely different tuning and balancing in place.

Meh, honestly imo… they should not tune classes around esports that less than 1% of all players participate in. Players participating in those types of events should understand that this type of stuff happens and they should prepare for it.

People have already set their characters up on the tourney realms for the event that starts today I believe.

This is why the move is a crap move.

Why couldn’t these nerfs wait a week or two?

This.

Also, it feels very much like “tune some classes” really means “oops, we overdid it on these two”. Just balance it out a bit, Blizzfriends. Make building raids/M+ groups more colorful.

so todays update is GO PLAY OUR MELE HUNTER CLASS FOR EZLIFE and WALLY THE WARLOCK’S GETS A NERFBAT TO THE FACE WORLD OF WOECRAFT

that’s what you get for playing a flavor of the expansion class. Monks don’t count because China would get mad if they got nerfed and DKs don’t count because nostalgia nerds would get mad if they got nerfed.

sucks to edge milord

Excuse me, this is WoW. I’m supposed to either be handed everything or be able to just buy it…with a 6-month subscription, of course.

I am convinced Blizz hates Warlocks.

the only two spells you need to cast are the ones that summon the closet and fel stones as far as blizzard is concerned. that’s all you’re good for, master of shadow magic?
you mean a DK? or a Priest?
The leader of a demonic legion of summoned creatures?
naw some kind of sissy hunter that can’t even name their own pets.

caster able to summon forth actual helfire from the depths of demonic realms? doesn’t burn half as bad as a fire mages arcane pseudoflame.

COOKIES. SUMMONS. THATS THE CLASS.

with these continued nerfs, you are not too far off here.
