Are we really going to go live with another god-comp?

See post #151 by Elisiana for a great visualization.

Do you feel there was a season with better diversity?

We were, and it definitely was extremely balanced.

For the longest time it was prot war/pres evoker/DH/spriest and one other dps.
then it swapped to prot pally/rdruid

everyone always complains about “meta” but forget that it happens. every. single. season.

I remember struggling to heal keys last expac during a season because people only wanted holy priests lol.

But what reason can you give me, in support that blizard shouldnt try to balance this?

All i can find people saying is “well in the past it was also unbalanced so that makes it better”

balance it how?
by nuking a spec so bad that it won’t even be able to compete in raids?

or the “its only 1-2%” which is statisticly wrong

no by nerfing it to where its good in 20 man content and not BROKEN in 5 man content, shouldn’t be hard to do with a support spec
Edit: they could easily lower the amount of bonus each player is given by the aug and increase the number of people who get the buff

you should really go back and look at post 151 in this thread. your perception might be anecdotal.

i dont think thats really possible without heavily hurting 20-man content.
I’m also not a dev or on the balance team so I honestly have no idea.

its not.
i played during all the seasons lol.

Pretty much this. Mythic raids for example have become so difficult and so complex the top guilds have to write their own addons just to kill bosses. Then the more difficult bosses need multiple nerfs to fill out the HoF in a non-geological timeframe.

I dont mean this in a “i cant clear mythic in a month in blues while blindfolded, NERF NOW BLIZZ!!!” way. But when the top guilds are complaining about how its too much you know you’ve got a problem. I think it says a lot that you had more dad guilds farming BWL in classic than doing current raids in retail.

what do you mean not possible, i just gave you how it is…

didnt see your edit.

this would make it busted in 20-man lol

then tune down the buff?

instead of buffing 2 players by 30% buff 20 players by 3% its basic math…

then you break it in 20-man.
and they have nerfed ebon might. several times.

you…don’t know how aug works do you?

explain to me how it works right quick

That literally wasn’t what it was like doing title level keys in season 1.

“Increase your 4 nearest allies’ primary stat by 10% of your own” could easily be changed to “Increase your 8 nearest allies’ primary stat by 5% of your own” making it do the same in raid content, but less in 5 man

no.

there really isnt an argument here. I’m not disagreeing with you nor am I exactly agreeing with you.

aug is a horrible spec to properly balance for both content which will make it busted for either content or unplayable in either.
