I think the biggest offense is that you have specs that are mostly balanced being your middle of the road’ specs and then you have others like Survival, holy priest, Destro, guardian, fire mage, frost mage and some others, that are in outer space in terms of performance and blizzard does nothing. Then you have specs that are just flat out ignored because streamers don’t play them or they were good last xpac and we don’t want you to play this now like Arcane, prot warrior, feral, wind walker, mist weaver and outlaw rogue.
At the end of the day I hope blizzard brining in the new QC workers helps shine light on this issue. Everyone deserves to have fun and nobody deserves to get the demonology treatment (unless you play a tank in 2v2 or 3v3 because no tank should be viable in those brackets)
What is BM and Feral undertuned at? I can promise you, if people are specifically not taking BM or Feral to a 15 key, those people don’t know what they’re talking about and are most likely bad. I have timed over 90% of my keys this season and I’ve invited at least 10 BM hunters to my own groups and have had at least 30 in total in groups that I didn’t make. They pull about 16k overall dps and when they are in my group I know to use black powder instead of evis.
But it’s not a shame. Meta doesn’t mean the same thing to the various tiers of players. MDI Meta IS NOT live meta. And the difference between live meta and non meta is insignificant. People need to get that through their thick skulls.
Name the aoe specs. Fire mage is not an aoe spec. Demo warlock is not an aoe spec. Sub is not an aoe spec. Sub is an outlier because it can do good aoe if it chooses to.
And you’re comparing the game you play to a different game. Those top 100 aren’t playing the same game that you do.
Yeah, I don’t want to hear hunters complain. More than viable in all content right now. I know you might like BM but at least you have the option of being good. Some classes are only decent in one form of content on one spec.
I humbly disagree, feral is my least favorite spec in the game. So much bloat. I mean really, how many ways can a cat bite you and hit you with their claws? But the feral community is adamant about nothing changing so I guess it is what it is
They’ll also fight you claiming to have so much utility, it doesn’t matter how much clunk/shapeshifting you have to deal with to actually use it.
I tuned in for all of 15 minutes of the MDI, and I caught this Apes team running 4 druids and a BM Hunter. No doubt, it was a meme all around, NOT just for the hunter.
The casters also said the BM Hunter specifically asked if he could have the “Zookeeper” title (Or whatever the title is) just to fit the 4 druid meme better.
Funny enough, I think it was far more a meme about the druid team than the hunter. If there was a 5th druid spec, they would’ve brought that.
Oh god this is 100% how this and my other BM hunters feels in a lot of content Changing spec on one of them to see how bad I suck when the controller is switched on
I’m not here to argue about who does and who docent need buffs. I’m here arguing that " just change specs" as an answer to class balance is bad game design and a toxic player attitude.
I’ll also agree though there is a difference between viable and balanced.
Changing spec on one of them to see how bad I suck when the controller is switched on
