Balance spec bonuses

Classes Druid
46

If I could have it my way…

Appearance: (already voted for it in it’s respective thread).

  • s2

Bonus:

  • (2) Set Bonus: Reduce your out of Eclipse cast time of Wrath or Starfire by 40%. (s3)
  • (4) Set Bonus: When you enter Eclipse, your next Starsurge or Starfall costs no Astral Power and deals 35% increased damage. (s1)

This would fix Balance going into the new season. <3

i assume your off topic rant will get deleted but calling pvp p2w is insane. for the first week maybe before you get honor/conquest/vault and you can even send honor to your alts now.

Please keep in mind that we’re going to update the power of the set bonuses to match the increased power of the new gear in Season 4, so any bonuses you choose will be tuned to be as strong as any others.

I’m with a few others in I feel like they should, if able, mix and match 2/4 set bonuses. The S3 2pc and S1 4pc in particular are great with each other.

Also, would be cool to have the S3 2pc and S2 2pc as part of the spec tree down the line.

Honestly, i like them all, but s1 is the best one.

51

i cant believe blizzard still didnt say any clarification about the s1 nerf

52

Well seeing as they nerfed it from it’s original form, you can safely assume you get the nerfed version.

Would be odd to implement the unnerfed version, just to nerf it again

i don’t see anything in there that says they’re reverting the S1 set to its former effect

The quality of life provided by the S3 2pc shows how deep the issues inherent to the modern Eclipse system truly are in the DF pacing, especially from a PvP perspective. As a PvP player, I’m sure our desires will be relatively ‘shelved’ as usual, since the votes will be completely dominated by the majority 0.001% power min/maxing PvE crowd. These decisions (and balancing) should have had additional modifiers and separate feedback and testing loop for PvP purposes added years ago… Either that, or disable tier effects in PvP altogether…

My fear of it too, its the nerf version being previewed, no mention of the un-nerfed version, just a revamp for S4. This is going to be great or one or massive fail.

56

If they go with the nerfed version, there will be NO balance druids.

Multiple specs have nerfed tier to get people to adopt the new tier. If Blizzard does not give people back the tier bonuses they had and goes with the nerfed ones (which would affect ALOT of specs), then their population will revolt.

There is NO reason to believe they will not revert the nerfs to the tier.

I’m disappointed by these results. S3 bonus makes eclipse so much less annoying and actually feels so good to play with.

This essentially…Why did they choose a community voting. Did they learn nothing from grimrail?

Having said this, s1 is not a deal breaker either.It’s their incapability to balance burst/ramp profile classes in different key stone brackets. The spec is flawed to the core in lower keys. Neither of the set boni will change anything about it.
