These are pretty good changes overall, but just like the first round are not nearly enough. Havoc and BM still need at least another 5-10% single target, survival is easily as bad as fury, frost or assassination and isnt being touched, and pvp is still a complete clown fiesta.

No love for bm and survival hunters.

Poor BM is second to last in M+ because of the aoe cap without increasing the damage they deal to limited targets. That and their legendries are some of the worst in the game.
And how is prot warrior not on this list…

Agreed. It would be nice if they actually fixed some of the bugs with BM too. Having Feign Death still being cancelled by opening your world map, a month into the expansion, is unacceptable. And the 4sec pet rez/low pet HP is making the class largely unviable in PVP.

There are Windwalker monks using 2-handed weapons?
They removed the requirement for one handed weapons. So there’s nothing preventing them from using a two hander. And Blizzard put two handed weapons on their loot table. So, they might not have a choice except to use a two hander if its a significant upgrade.
I don’t see the bug fix for podtender activating in arenas, did you forget to write it or is it getting applied in an earlier hotfix?
Also no Hpal/Discpriest/warrior nerfs? At their peak sub rogues weren’t even as strong as these 3 classes and got substantial nerfs, yet these monsters are allowed run rampant in arenas?
Unless the title specifically says PVP tuning, you can expect class changes to be PVE-focused.
Question:
Do the devs check their work? This “testing” you speak of, do the devs have characters of each class that they try playing the content as?
I’m guessing no unless FOTM classes are what Blizz is after, and if that’s so, STOP IT!
PvP, terrible imbalance. As a hunter, I have to use all that I have available to me, kiting, CC, traps, etc. and it takes me a long time to kill most classes. I’ve been in BGs where three dps would take on a priest or shaman healer solo and we had to run them out of mana before we could kill them. On the flip-side, some dps classes like rogues and mages get near instant kills. Y’all need to work on that…
How about “testing” in Twisting Corridors? Some classes have already gone for their solo “walk-through-the-park” run through Layer 8 and are gloating about it. I’ve tried 3x now. When I get to Floor 15ish of Layer 1, everything one-hit kills me. Trash are doing 50k+ damage in a normal melee hit. I spend about 3 hours each attempt waiting on CC CDs and taking each trash one at a time, only to get to the elite at the end of the floor and die repeatedly.
I appreciate that Blizz is making some changes to try to make the game more fair for everyone, but just like all the time gating, it’s too little, too slow.

Yea yea we fell for it during heroic week tuning.
This is just brain dmg they need to nerf MM by 3% and buff BM and SV by 10%

Do the devs check their work? I’m betting on “hell no”. And their QA team seems nearly non-existent this xpac. There are so many “dumb” but serious, class bugs and quest bugs, that would be obvious with just a couple minutes of play testing the same content they are requiring for progression. A month in and not one of these bugs have been addressed properly.

I agree. I think Blizz’s first problem was pre-release, when instead of having employees beta test SL, they decided the players would do a thorough job. I doubt they had many folks on their end look at it once SL Beta came around.
Problem was players weren’t Beta testing, they were testing the Meta. People wanted to know what classes were the FOTM and everyone wanted to release guides. Blizz put Beta testing into the hands of players who didn’t care if the game was bugged or fun for everyone, the Meta-testers had their own agenda.

I am overwhelmed with joy and happiness <3
What a vile, disgusting response. Who peed in your wheaties?
This is just a video game, you know that right?
Appreciate the Frost buff, was much needed.
This is the laziest class tuning I have ever seen.
No idea what is going on with these classes, but they’re on average low, so here is a flat bump across the board. Brilliant.
