Class Balance

[Riger-arugal]

You’re looking at a 600-800 increase.

That’s still a good increase. Definitely going to be noticeable. But I don’t believe this 1-2k BS.

I’d like to see the evidence for that one.

[Drinknblink-benediction]

Yes and the 800 is on the single target short fight with no hard mode lol.

No shot a ret is getting 2k dps from HOR.

Only fight i could see being close to 2k is general vezax, and that is if the raid is doing that wierd kite boss to pools for melee parses strat that gets melee in the black pools. 100% bonus to magic damage would put that 800 to near 1600 if done perfectly, but my best guess is he means a 1-2k dps increase from all the changes together.

Hor doing 800 dps and the DS and CS applying the seal buff doing the rest.

But i still dont see that hitting 2k. Maybe 1.2k as i could see the seal buff giving 400ish dps.

I dunno what dungeons y’all are running. But warrior tanks are the ones I have to heal the least. Dks don’t need much attention but their bars bounce from 100 to 30% constantly

[Serrannah-earthfury]

Probably blood DKS that increase their health temporarily?

[Dzw-pagle]

every tank is viable, if anything nerf paladins.

[Dzw-pagle]

seems to be +10~% damage for rets, so 2k is just not a thing.

Class Representation and Balance - World of Paladins

While I’m happy for rets that they got a buff, it’s such a slap in the face to other classes. Paladin currently boasts the best tank and healer in the game, and their 1 poor performing spec needs a buff over ever other glaring class balance issue in the game. Lets look at Algalon 25man clears. Tanks- Prot pal: 555 DK: 80 Warrior: 71 Druid: 63 Thanks right, 2.6 prot pallies have tanked Algalon 25, for every other tank combined. Healers- Paladin: 1027 Priest: 535 Shaman: 372 Druid: 18…

Apparantely I am not the only one with the same feelings.

[Bellenny-atiesh]

yes they need to do something for prot wars and feral tanks

[Drinknblink-benediction]

No they don’t.

[Florafaun-kelthuzad]

I have been enjoying nyhic plus so far this xpac. Did the raid a few times and felt fun and up to standard. They seem to be working harder on class balance then ever. But pvp feels very melee sided.

[Alfakenywun-greymane]

Tanking is super easy in dragon flight, not sure why anyone would go dps except to get a mental break.

[Filetobeef-eranikus]

Seeing quite a few posts now resonating my feelings on tanks.

Prot warrior and Feral need buffs, big time.

Now that class imbalance and stability has reached critical on some realms, Blizzards needs to get off their lazy butts, stop having feelings meetings and actually fix the game.

1. Nerf blood dk healing, it’s why you have a major bot problem.

2. Spot buff all classes and specs that are underporfing with minor scaling to match retribution paladins.

3. Buff Prot Warrior and Feral Bear tanks, and not some itty bitty adjustment to make them feel ok, talking about true mitigation. The kind of mitigation that paladin or DK has.

4. Perma ban those gold buying, trading or interacting with exchanges with bots and unregistered accounts.

5. Actually listen to the player base, not some streamer. Everyone hated unholy for a reason, everyone’s hates the rest buff for a reason.

Get off the jock of people you have on talk shows. Read your feedback and act. Otherwise you’re just a garbage game developer.

More like you have a major bot problem because you have a lot of people playing the game that are okay with botting. I.e. anyone who buys gold, or enables gold buyers by grouping with them, acting as though it’s okay in Discord chats, etc.

If people didn’t buy gold or pay for any third party services, there wouldn’t be such strong financial incentives for botting. However, they do and there are.

Nerfing DKs (or any nerfs to anything) isn’t going to change any of that.

[Nympf-mankrik]

I agree on the tank front. Healing balance needs some love too. Every raid has 2 palas and a disc priest. rdruid and rshaman are sometimes there for fights that need more than 3 healers, but are otherwise replaced with a pure dps or else using a dps spec which is not why we play a healing class.

also get rid of bots!

[Filetobeef-eranikus]

They for sure need to give healers some love. Holy priest is almost non existent due to streamers calling it the “trash” class of healers. And it’s some what pointless to stack mtiple disc priests. Can barely find resto shamans worth a damn and when you find a great resto druid, they typically get trashed on for their so.tsrget healing.

In general, blizzard dropped the ball with the rest buff and set a firestorm. A firestorm I’m going through in the game and seeing all over the forums.

And for all the rest DPS deniers in the thread. Kind of funny after three weeks, ret has basically climbed to 11th and still going up with better gear.
