I mean… that’s fine (I main a Destro) except all the nerfs they listed impact all Warlock specs: nothing was specific to Demo (unless I’m misreading the notes).
Beyond the especially high survivability of Demo in PvP, there was also nothing done to target Demo’s damage or control.
Ahhhhhh Demon Hunters, The clowns of wow. You buff our overall dps by 4-5 percent, then nerf a ring that was doing 7 percent of our overall dmg so…no buff what so ever. This is a JOKE. Give us more playstyles, more specs, man f DH this has been so long. Im about to reroll like the rest of the whiners.
We’re getting tuna! I like a nice tuna on rye with thin slices of red onion, tomato and sweet pickle and a leaf of lettuce! Oh wait… tuning… never mind. Drat!
That 3% on feral is nice and all but won’t make a difference. Feral is in such a bad spot right now it’ll take atleast a 10%-15% change to even see them move on the charts. As a long time feral player I’ve never felt like I’m doing less damage than I do right now. Which is crazy because I’m seeing shamans hit 80k damage with lightning bolt.
Right, but it impacts Demo way more because Demo actually utilizes it.
The niche strength of Demo is being tanky. When you take that away you’re just left with Destro, but weaker.
If shadow priest is doing too much damage with Catharsis why is it being nerfed for all specs? Holy Priest damage is already not great in pvp and Catharsis is our best damage ability. We also sacrifice very good survival talents to take Catharsis as holy.
Hmm Catharsis receiving a solid nerf, ngl, I don’t mind. The reason I don’t mind is I don’t particularly enjoy using the pvp talent and prefer others to my playstyle
The nice thing about this nerf, I think, is that you now maybe are not particularly forced to run Catharsis any more, which previously you pretty much had to run it as a staple
Neither seems to be overperforming in ranked, although the MM buff just makes them win favorable matchups harder and probably continue to lose unfavorable ones.
Blizz has zero idea how to balance MM in PvP. MM players don’t want dmg, we want defensives.
Altho I will take an MM meta over demo lock meta any day of the week
I’m sure MM doesn’t see the same success in 3v3 as it does in BGs, but that has far more to do with poor defensives that are mostly designed around kiting, which isn’t really effective these days. More damage won’t help their situation much here and is just going to make them absolutely oppressive in BGs where they already dominate.
Disc on the other hand has representation in the top 5 3v3 in the US. Not sure how you claim a spec that’s showing up in the top 5 as underperforming.
