Is there a way to track disposition? Its not showing as a buff.

Do better. These changes are insanely weak across the board.

You’ve had 2 weeks to look at glaringly obvious data. Please give us real tuning.

Surely this is only a fraction of the changes coming right?

Aug damage hook fixes, dh/rogue/hunter changes, ret/ww buffs, rdruid damage being insane?

So we’re going to ignore Aff and Destro just performing terrible the last two weeks ( after we talked about it constantly on the feedback for 10.2 )

6% is a bit lower than we were expecting for both specs.
Okay. :slight_smile:

this owns, buffing specs rather than nerfing strong ones is definitely the better play.

Nerfs to stronger classes shouldn’t be the standard, it should be buffing underperforming ones. Nobody likes nerfs

you’re a fool if you dont think dh, bm hunt, and rogues arent gonna get hammered the following weeks

also doing buffs only leads to power creep. think before you speak.

I see that after a tumultuous set of reworks and failed experiments with Shadow you have finally given up and put them alongside Windwalker. I appreciate the honesty.
