Class Tuning Incoming – October 8

The Fury changes mostly make a lot of sense to me in trying to balance the options of the spec. I appreciate trying to make the different choices more competitive with each other.

HOWEVER, after all the other hotfixes for Fury and changes on the PTR the spec desperately needs an aura buff in my opinion. We are one of the worst single target damage specs in the entire game, and you continue to nerf our single strength of burst AoE.

I’m not saying nerfing the burst AoE is out of line, but the spec definitely deserves compensation.

Blizzard, Making changes mid season is abit ridiculous. You had Alpha, Beta, and Pre-launch to make changes.

If we’re nerfing acid rain can you at least make it function?

It does not work in several areas of the game at all, such as Dawnbreaker boats, and the upper areas of Necrotic Wake.

Please make our class abilities actually function. It’s been months\years with this “bug’d”.

I literally don’t know any Demon Hunters who want to play Aldrachi. Basically everyone agrees Fel Scarred is better, both thematically and in gameplay feel.

Throw Glaive has always been an awkward button that really just shouldn’t be used at all barring as a pulling tool for Vengeance/the rare situation where you’re out of range and can’t do anything else. It’s frustrating that they keep trying to shoehorn it into the basic rotation.

Protection paladin needs more defensive buffs instead damage and healing, awful to play when your hp is dancing :skull:

Nice tone-deaf resto druid buff, Blizz. You have truly refined your ability to listen to the community eye roll.

So still doing absolutely nothing for Spellslinger Arcane? Or is there being like 2 mages playing the spec in mythic raids not enough data?

I don’t get it. It’s so clearly under-tuned by a massive amount that basically no one is playing it in serious content, but it’s not getting any buffs.

Why? \10chars

you know when the Demon Hunter discord is dooming BECAUSE you are buffing one of their hero talent specs maybe you guys should really do some introspection. Because a spec has to be really freaking bad for people to be angry about buffs :rofl:

Because HPal is putting up good numbers in raid. Blizzard is ignoring the fact that several abilities are not being reduced beyond 8 targets and that light of the martyr inflates your performance by sniping healing, despite being a net loss overall in hps.

And because of that a very mid healer in M+ is getting gut punched for some reason.

I don’t understand the holy paladin nerfs. They aren’t the number 1 raid healer, M+ healer, or PvP healer. Very strange choice.

Please stop ignoring holy priest in PvP. They need some help. No DR CDs and no mobility is awful. Especially in the kidnap DK meta. :frowning:

Why is Holy Paladin receiving more nerfs? We had received a 6% nerf on 9/13 and now an additional 5% nerf? Why? It would be nice to get an explanation as to why holy paladin’s performance justifies being nerfed 11% flat across the board thus far.
This is starting to remind me of DF Season 2 post-Hpal rework. Where hpal felt great for a week, and then was aggressively and relentlessly nerfed for weeks and weeks after. The nerfs really didn’t make sense and were confusing, it was pretty clear whoever was making these decisions did not actually understand the problem or how the class works. Point proven, by the end of those nerfs hpal was so broken that we were a builder spender class whose optimal gameplay was to almost never use your hp spenders LOL.

And now here we are again, after another hpal rework, receiving similarly confusing nonsensical repetitive nerfs. Meanwhile Evokers and Shamans are effectively untouched. I’m just confused as to what is trying to be done here, and I don’t think the dev(s) making changes for hpal understand what they’re trying to do either.

Please at least communicate with us about the reasoning behind these changes and what you’re trying to achieve for our class?? A lot of us who play Holy Paladin play it because we really, really love it. We love how it plays and how it feels, I know I’ve met plenty of other hpals like myself who don’t enjoy healing on anything else, it’s just not as fun as holy. What happened in DF S2’s nerf-athon sucked. I really don’t want hpal to go back down that round again and these weird changes that make no sense have me worried that’s exactly where we’re headed.
