I quit playing my Havoc this week because it seems Blizz is content leaving us this bad. This whole situation with some classes being OP and we get overnerfed then thrown a 5% Buff as a fix is shocking they would leave a HERO DPS spec this bad. Next step is not logging on at all, I was going to try and level my Warlock but they are getting shafted too. We shouldn’t have to go through all this just to have a functioning toon that will be invited to do raids, arena, rated PVP, M+ when BLIZ SCREWED UP OUR CHARACTERS and too lazy or proud to fix. I have a feeling next big MMO that looks decent many here will bail because this new BLIZ management has no idea how to take care of its customers

Can we get some attention to survival hunter and beast mastery hunter?

I love MM but I feel like my other specs are not viable in any part of the game.

Such display of despicable violence…

I don’t understand why ppl are giving BM Hunters hate? We do deserve a buff to be slightly more competitive. We are the more popular spec than MM and SURV combined even in Shadowlands. However, that may have changed for some BM Hunters who’ve jumped ship to MM to be more “competitive” because they know BM’s DPS is lacking. Our ST is great, our AoE is trash in M+ or Raids. The fix? Soulforge Embers to “add” addition AoE to our rotation, even that AoE DoT is laughable. Hardly burns anything. Even though SFE our BiS (along with Fang’s) more BM’s rather sacrifice their SFE AoE for “Fang’s” passive legendary since you don’t need to cast any spells and it’s a pretty good one nonetheless. Is it because BM’s “had” their time in BFA and makes it justifiable to get nerf’d in SL? No, it does not. BM’s also did not need the Revive Pet nerf from 2 sec cast time to a increase of 4 sec cast time. NO ONE asked for that, no one.

BM Hunter has always been the popular choice for Hunters because of pet management and especially the taming various creatures in Azeroth aspect. Now that you throw MM a bone in SL, they obliterates BM’s in content. Sure, BM’s in solo content, we manage, but put a S-Tier or A-Tier DPS class/spec in M+ and they’ll just roll over us. For those BM’s who can pump out high DPS (which we can since it’s mainly our ST on bosses), I’m willing to bet you’ve been out DPS’d by a “new and improved” class/spec that no one has played in PvE as much, example you ask?..Affliction Warlocks. These dude PUMP the DPS meters in M+. I thought my ~4k DPS was good…pffft, no, these guys are gettin up to ~6-7k DPS easssssy. I’m throwing my kitchen sink at mobs and bosses but these dudes chillin with their Mai Tai cocktail drinks lookin cool while we’re breaking a sweat trying to pump DPS. I dunno, in BFA I LOVED BM spec and always felt strong. Now, in BFA, I feel like I’m using a Water Gun fighting mobs while the MM’s out here using BFG’s.

B-Tier class/spec, 19th overall data (was 16th). Prior to Shadowlands, Top 5 DPS Overall Rankings. You can’t make it up ppl.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind that. At the moment we are kind of a hodgepodge of other classes concepts; summons, statues (totems), damage healing. Yea some of it was ours to begin with, but now we are more of a collage of healing specs and lack a real healing identity. So I for one would high five that fractured monkey paw.

come on nerf Boomkins in PVP already what the hell are you guys waiting for? there power is an absolute joke and the fact hotfix nerfs haven’t happen yet is ridicules.

Any chance we could get the Frostwyrm to trigger Killing Machine (either baseline or with Obliteration talent)?

Granted, this is more of a QoL thing than a buff, but squeezing the dragon into the Obliteration feedback loop would feel nice.

OH YESSS Maybe now I will not get rejected from mythic+ or raids for being a frost mage! " Are you fire? no ? “insta kicked”"

Which would still be behind Fire and Arcane, with Arcane still behind Fire, and still insanely unbalanced covenants. Seems like there is no clear, or even muddy plan here.

They really really need to stop doing these blanket buffs and start doing targeted buffs to part of the kits that are lacking

I haven’t even tried assass this xpac but I assume they need some kind of love in the energy department

Frost mages could straight up do with an almost 100% buff to frost bolt damage so it’s not just a noodle ability used for fishing ice lance procs

Teehee 2% kek

Affliction is fine? It’s already started to scale.

The only thing that can salvage demo is to recreate the entire spec, I think blizz will just let it rot until then.

The plan is to make it just good enough so that fewer people quit in disgust while expending the least amount of energy, time, and money on things like planning, redesigning specs, or fixing core problems that require more effort than a simple percentage aura increase.

Classes

Death Knight
    Blood
        Bone Shield grants armor equal to 70% of Strength (was 50%).
    Frost
        All damage is increased by an additional 2% while a two-handed weapon is equipped.

So if you want more armor as blood, you have to constantly spend runic power which means you can’t heal with Death Strike? How the hell is this better?
Bone shield is useless against packs, even if you use DRW you’re still Marrow spamming trying to keep even one charge up.
Bone shield needs to be timed, not lose charges on getting hit. The mechanic is broken, and this change will only help against bosses which isn’t our problem in the first place. It’s getting run over by a pack that instantly eats all your BS charges and then you die while the HoT healers use every cooldown trying to keep you up.

As for the Frost DK change, excuse me while just give up on you. Other classes are getting 8% across the board changes, and you offer 2H Frost a 2% increase? LMFAO. You are, and always have been, so out of touch with Death Knights since Wrath it’s ridiculous. Trust me, a 2% increase is not going to get me to go to 2H. And it certainly isn’t going to get us close to UH. An 8% frost damage increase would be acceptable, and really it should be 8% across the board.

Once again Blizzard you fail to understand DK mechanics completely. Whoever is in charge of your DK team should be demoted and replaced with someone that actually MAINS DK in LIVE game.
