Of all the lackluster healing going on right now (and nerfs to healing in general), they choose to buff Prot Paladin healing, and they buff Rogues. lol Imagine being this out of touch with your own creation.

Nice nerfs to DH, 20% from Amn. Which is big if you don’t know Amn makes all our damage count as chaos damage and increases it. The hunt (nature) was getting buffed from it, immolation aura (fire), fel blade. Nerfed a lot of our damage including soul rend. Let’s see if further nerfs needed (most likely)

Thank god they didnt nerf the 100K+ fire breath from evokers whew… missed a bullet there bios! >.< Do these people actually play/test their own game? People complaining about DH, havent (LITERALLY) been 1 shotted by a evoker. BUT… let’s nerf a class by 20% that hasnt been good since BFA. GG. Application for blizzard employment… Are you breathing? Your hired! smh

Any means mecessary shouldnt even be a thing.

You got these different schools, then this just makes them all chaos anyway…

11

Depends if you’re trying to do a one shot build VS consistent damage. If you go AMN route you take more dotish kind of build with soul rend and immolation aura and burning wounds. Essence break provides a good burst build every 40ish seconds with stun eye beam

12

Nice glad they’re nerfing those pesky rets and outlaw rogues. They were such a problem!

13

Our mastery is useless without it, mastery buffs chaos damage (chaos strike and fel rush)
With it, the talent tool tip says nature, shadow, fire, arcane benefit from mastery now. It’s why you’ve been seeing DHs with sinful brand do a ton of damage, the hunts for 60k+ I crit a fully geared resto shaman for 65k. Elysian decree is arcane and benefits from AmN. If this thing gets gutted most people will play haste/crit build with tier sets and essence. Which is going to hurt even more lol.

Guess I’m a Subtlety main now.

PvE Outlaw nerf and then a PvP buff to Pistol Shot.

I have been the victim of a drive bye breath and i still will complain about DHs more.
