Class Tuning Incoming – January 10

I think because its channeled …

I think after reading 90% of the comments most of us agree that:

  1. It is nice to see some classes getting buffs, Ret Paladins did need it, MW skills absolutely appreciate it, same with Aff, Destro and a few others. (Rshaman needs love too)

  2. The nerfs will always have a mixed opinion, do I see a need for Outlaw to be nerfed? Personally no, but I don’t play the class either. DHs, DKs(Death Strike), WW Monks, Demo (even though the pet bloat is crazy and that should be nerfed for less pets that are stronger?), please do not remove hunters Double Tap for MM, it really helps define the class.

  3. Old nerfs from SL or previous xpacks still effecting current skills, Fire Mage barrier ect… should be addressed before tweaking the rest of the kits so you can actually get a good baseline of what the classes are doing.

  4. Survivability in Open World content, pretty sure not all classes can solo a pack of elites at their same level currently, maybe that’s an issue.

  5. People have geared their classes the best the could with what is in the game, Frost Mages stacked Mastery to make the Ice Lances hit harder, Arcane stacked Crit for a 1 shot combo to take out enemies before they got tunneled. Fury Warriors have no Tier Set, and are going to be impacted. The gear being dropped is not prime stats, maybe that is by design, but it makes things clunky to play. Now the TLDR: People invest time, money and energy in making their class they chose to play viable, to swing 20-40% buffs or nerfs in any direction negates the work they have put in to a degree and have to try and re-adjust to stay in. Think about your customers, what makes them happy, happy customers come back and continue to pay.

As are quite a bit of WW’s. Go FW. Still do some damage and the healing is nice.

Druida balance esta um pouco esquecido também! Esta precisando de reajustes , a classe para pvp nao tem dano para finalização a lua cai em targets muito randomicos podendo ate cair em pets de algumas classes ! Fora isso as estrelas que caem no talento de J x J cai totalmente distante do player dificultando assim dar dano com essa skill atualmente a que da mais dano do druida . O principal mesmo é o dano da lua esta tão baixo em relação ao tipo de skill que é.

remove steed, give us a real movement ability or gap closer.

Lol at druid patch notes. At least we have confirmation that we don’t have any developers assigned to the class.

But now it’s just changes to holy and shadow… What?

Just what the game needs - more melee gap closers.

They need to remove them, not add more.

Yeah, demo isn’t exactly good, but ppl are so butthurt about it.

Nah, they’re right.

More gap closers aren’t needed.

The philosophy behind ret paladins is just flat-out wrong: it speaks volumes that the movement options from MOP are still missed.

Thank you.

Love, Ret Paladins everywhere

Good changes overall. Maybe a bit heavy handed on shadow in pvp but well see how it turns out.

But what needs some serious help from blizz is Holy Paladin in pvp…like holy moly these guys have it rough…every time you get one in shuffle …they get trained to dust …they just feel like and burden than a part of the team. No offense to players…but that spec currently sook balls in pvp …hard.
