I don’t know why blizz loves to troll their playerbase, but for months people have been asking for nerfs to fire mages and paladins, also some to wws and warriors
So what does Blizz do? Buffs enh and warrior and nerfs DK, also didn’t buff any of the underperforming healers. Also funny how blizz ruined the class design of Unholy DK again and now ignores it, imagine if the people working at the company were qualified for their jobs
At some point you can’t make this up anymore
Crap *** development team
Makes me remember when I first saw these issues In The Prepatch. “Oh it’s just Beta they’ll fix it, Oh it’s just Pre Patch we haven’t recieved our covenant/leggos yet, Oh It’s the first 3 weeks Rated PvP isn’t even out yet, Oh it’s Christmas break give them a break, Oh It’s AWC wait till after that.”
KeK where are the nerfs? How do people keep on making excuses for terrible devs in PvE and PvP aspects? What’s the next one gonna be? Give me a break
I really don’t think there’s an excuse for this level of… you get the idea.
Yeah I love seeing buffs for underperformers rather than nerfs to the top tier but there’s a point where they’ll need to at least give rets a minor nerf and maybe look into fire mages again. Also the warrior buffs are okay if they look into their team defensives which they seem to be doing with the rally nerf but I’d rather see intervene be the spell being changed
Nerf pyroblast by like 8% in pvp, buff fireball damage by 25%
Make the kyrian judgements do like 20% less and maybe nerf templars verdict by like 10%, along with unnerfing baseline WOG but nerfing the talents that make it op.
Nerf starsurge by 5% and nerf all spells used during convoke by like 15%
Dk nerf to chill streak is a little weird but I think the 5% buff added to it so it’s really just a 5% nerf from what it is now. Should keep dk how it’s going to be Tuesday and probably undo the nerf they did to death strike in BFA
I mean in all fairness, in that three week period they nerfed Ret like two different times, nerfed Rog quite a bit and utterly destroyed Hunter’s viability.
So they did quite a bit in that small period.
yeah im honestly confused.
This is the era of Paladins now.
Now bend the knee peasant.
If they can find a way to make every class relatively equal in power and smooth out the gear disparity in PvP, I’d be fine with seeing Divine Toll nerfed and WoG looked at.
Would be nice if the entire specc got changed, but I’ll take small tuning when I can.
I think WoG is fine as it is, at its base its really about a 3-5k heal. With Wings it’s a 9-10k heal, 12-13 crit. This does though sacrifice a ton of damage as well as the time it takes to build up x3 charges. The real problem is the WoG talent which boosts the healing by up to 70%. This essentially allows WoG to crit for 20-25k. Honestly nerf the talent by 30% or reverse it so that it heals more on high HP, but less on low hp.
Ret doesn’t need to be changed until Warrior/FireMage/WW/Elemental/Shadowpriest get looked at and nerfed too. Hell even enhance is imbalanced as hell right now specially with this buff that came in.
They aren’t gonna balance right, there is too many moving targets in this game to be balanced. Coefficients on spells are just way too different in WoW IE Starsurge hits for a million and instant cast but moonkin without incarn or convoke don’t have much kill pressure.
It’s easy to point fingers at other classes that might be mechanically less challenging but do they have all the utility or cc of your kit. Can they be kited? Do they have an offensive dispell or ranged kick? We legit can spin this conversation in any light we want because there is too many variables which is why core class mechanics break the game every expansion.
I think the Master and COmmander nerf is more significant than 3% damage, the warrior change was an overall nerf, when you learn that utility > tunneling damage youll see this
bro chill they’ll fix it in wow 2
ok, but blizzard did nerf fire mages and paladins? infernal cascade got a huge nerf and wog got nerfed as well. this was in a balance patch just a week ago.
i dont think either of these classes really need nerfs at the moment. you have to remember that while blizzard appreciates our feedback, they arent necessarily required to take it and apply it. that’s not blizzard “trolling the player base” that’s just blizzard having a different opinion. it is quite possible that they are happy with how those two classes are performing right now.
enhance certainly could use the buffs. it wasnt terrible but it wasnt great either. now they’re looking to be a solid pick which is great for them.
as for dk nerfs, you have to remember that they also buffed all frost damage by 5%, which outweighs the chillstreak nerf. its an overall buff for dks.
how did blizz ruin the class design of unholy dk? i still really enjoy the gameplay, it feels very fluid and rewarding.
blizzard has one of the best teams in the gaming industry… i dont think its fair for you to question their credentials just because you personally dont enjoy the game.
How can a spell heals 10 k non crit 12 k crit hmm🤔
Everyone on various dev/balance teams plays the game and takes inputs from pro/high rated players who are all playing the outlier specs/classes. Nerfing Ret/Holy/Prot specs probably nerfs actual developers who main those specs and they don’t want to be nerfed. Same with Arms, WWs, Fire Mages. Nobody who actually makes decisions at Blizzard is likely playing any of the underperforming specs/classes, hence the major nerfs to some classes and the minor slaps on the wrists to others.
You work at blizzard, youre on a balance team and you a main Paladin/Fire Mage/Boomie/WW/Arms Warrior. Do you gut the obvious outliers of the class or do you make a minor adjustment to tell your bosses you did something and to give it a few more weeks to reanalyze and adjust? “It’s gonna take some time to rework the class, we’re going to have to do it in 9.1.”
I’d rather have a dev team who doesn’t actually play the game and makes balance decisions on actual metrics
they just don’t care that’s all we all need to just accept that!!! anyways ill be banned soon from forums due to speaking the truth about how bad they are at not fixing the right classes!
Blizzard should ban people from posting on classic characters 
this i agree with 100%
It’s so lame. Either social anxiety capped out so hard that even wow forums are terrifying or they’re some beta version of a troll that (unlike me) doesn’t want it linked to them
Booooooring…
