Class Tuning Incoming – January 10

• Windwalker
• Thunderfist damage reduced by 40% in PvP combat.
• Skyreach increases critical strike chance by 30% in PvP combat (down from 50%).
• Fists of Fury damage increased by 15% in PvP combat.
• Developers’ notes: Windwalker burst has continued to be above a level we’re comfortable with. We’re targeting Thunderfist and Skyreach, as they have been large contributors to this. We’re also increasing their sustained damage, as we feel there is room for that to improve as their burst is reduced.

You are bad warriors are is a very bad spot in pvp they have a historic low representation. You must be new to pvp or just an average player who refuses to learn other classed

[Freezeknight-area-52]

no what they need to do is make feral more viable, its not a sustainable business model to punish players because lazer chickens complain when feral gets buffed. Like who cares?

@Frànkiepie-emerald-dream

Wtf where is BM hunters

Right? BM and Surv both suck right now, but they buff the least played spec?

[Frànkiepie-emerald-dream]

They don’t suck but they need something. Still feel like I’m missing something.

[Devilmonk-malganis]

I honestly am aghast that there were no resto shaman buffs. People talk about it on reddit, in game, and on the forums here how bad it is right now. Wow. Just wow.

[Bleish-kiljaeden]

very interesting

where’s the nerfs to OP specs? a single nerf to Outlaw Rogue which will average like 2% less damage? at least 5 DPS specs need nerfs in the range of 5-10% and tank/healer balance needs more attention as well

surivival hunter was the worse spec, but BM hunter needs some love too

fire mage still unplayable in dungeon

frost mage does not need frostbolt damage; the value of casting frostbolt is in icicles and fingers of frost and brain freeze procs. frost mage just needs more overall damage. a lot more. you gave it ~2% damage when it needs 10%. you over-buffed ray of frost.

brewmaster buffs nice

ret buffs nice

shadow priest buffs okay

affliction warlock still unplayable in dungeon

destruction warlock buffs okay, but the spec feels better when the Chaos Bolts hit like a truck

arms warrior needs love

[Gobthepumper-malganis]

I love that pretty much every boomkin in this thread is outting themselves as bad at the game as boomkins are some of the best in high keys and great for any raid fight with adds which is most of them

[Frànkiepie-emerald-dream]

Lol they just increased WW damage by negative %

[Alphareapa-greymane]

Not sure why go after mages, blizzard should destroy every other class one shot build! Mages are squishy as it is…#blizzardsuks

[Jaquess-stormrage]

most of blizzards decisions arent a sustainable business model thus why wow keeps losing players. this is the first xpac where feral is poping up in blue posts where it isnt a nerf or a dev showing they are clearly outside of their skilset since they dont play the spec. we finally have a dev who seems to care and is trying to fix problems. so let the lazer chickens complain they have never had to play another spec or class because to play what they like would bring down the raid group or get declined from every invite for raids/keys

A random post on the forum should never justify the lack of communication that blizz have been doing since ghostcrawler left.

sure, the random post shouldn’t justify it.

…but it’s not the post which justifies the lack of communication.

it’s the instant grabbing of pitch-forks from the players.

what’s the point in attempting any form of communication, if people are just going to shoot the messenger?

[Ashgaar-sargeras]

To people mad they didn’t redesign X or Y. This is just hotfix tuning, best they will do is mess with the numbers. Have to wait for actual patches to hope for redesigns :/.

For what it is, these changes seem to at least target the right issues.

Sorry I misinterpreted your first post. You are 100% right… Shooting the messenger helps no one in this case.

[Shokmastaflk-tichondrius]

Thank you for letting these players be a part of beta testing

You’d think that these people who have been playing this game for all these years would know this by now.

[From-chogall]

So Disc is the least played worst healer in mythic plus and nothing?

DF has really tame issues for an expansion early patch.

Its almost like people don’t remember TBC, Wrath, Cata or MoP launches lol.

Back in MoP i was running around in arena having just my pets soloing people, took them a month to fix that too.

[Razaron-faerlina]

Enhancement and Resto shamans didn’t need pvp buffs? Okay. Weird.

[Shokmastaflk-tichondrius]

Yeah I didnt play those. Nor am i playing DF. Congrats on paying for beta and third party DLC

Welcome to Live Service games. Don’t know what else to tell you. Not like this is unique to WoW anymore, even single player games get patched up and improved over time.

Would it be nice if devs could get everything right at launch? Ofc. Is it realistic with how many variables they have to juggle with? Not really.

Can always download an SNES emulator to get away from it i guess.
