Class Tuning in Progress -- January 12

Lol this expansion has to be one of the worst in terms of balance… It’s so sad it’s funny.

How do they spread two dots? I thought it was just 1 dot getting spread to multiple targets?

yeah that was the confusing part to me: like that was the one thing Fury was okay with

i only consider it the worst just because you need to compensate for the lack of burst which you’d pick the other two for

it’s just a REALLY confusing nerf to me

Uhhhhhhhhhhh, where are the demo lock buffs?

Well they seem more upset that, assuming true, they built their Fire leggo 2 hours before the announcement.

Thanks for the update, and I hope some Survival Hunter love is in the pipeline as well.

There should only be one play style balanced if any, PvP or PvE. The game is one or the other. Otherwise just make every toon a clone of the other and do waste time renaming abilities with different graphics.

Blood DK armor buffs before the squishy Brewmaster Monks and Prot Paladins. Interesting.

Frost mage buff sounds nice as a newbie to mage it’s the only spec I haven’ tried yet because of what I’ve heard about it’s performance

The assassination buffs aren’t going to cut it, you could safely double it. The spec needs some actual design changes, it did not receive any major ones in beta so the sooner the better. Sustain is a huge issue as well as survivability, crimson vial is just awful and leeching poisons is a joke. Given assassination is a very single target spec and lacks survivability it should be topping charts in single target and instead we have classes that are good at almost everything that are topping single target, multitarget, way more utility and even survivabilityl.

I also think flat damage increases are an extremely awful and EXTRAORDINARILY lazy way of balancing. We have fan made simulation sites and you guys can’t seem to come up with something internally to test?

Steps in the right direction, good to hear.

So glad I quit. Blizz has no idea what’s going on, so out of touch. Do yourselves a favor and break the cycle. It gets easier not playing with time.

Not bad, but there are class issues that could be addressed to help make the underperforming specs feel better. A buff to frostbolt specifically would greatly help frost feel like less of a slot machine spec in between procs.

All in all though it’s nice to see some of the worst specs being looked at. Keep it up!

Are you actually glad you quit? Why even bother reading the patch notes and commenting on the post?

Yeah I am, just checking back to see what’s happening. A way to get my “fix” I suppose. Helps remind me of the endless slog. I do miss it but I feel better without it. Too time consuming.
