I feel like Blizzard has been feeding its players with extremely unfair class tunnings that we all now can see that is not based on any fair or equal principles. We all feel that all these changes are done for some classes. Us, having the damage numbers in raids we all know overperforming classes and underperforming classes. Then the next class tunning comes up and we see that they do not see a reality at all. They are being subjective and extremely biased and nobody can read that their motivation is to actually fix anything.
I’d like to ask everyone to post critics on every upcoming class tunning in here.
For example, why Fire Mages and Balance Druids are getting more buffed when we see in every single M+ key that they are the top performers? Did anyone find logic in it? Has anyone seen that Fire Mages or Balance Druids are struggling with DPS in raids? They dont!
So since they can’t see the reality in game maybe we show them and write them in here?
We know the answer to that. Classes aren’t tuned for M+ specifically. They are tuned for raids. Looks like balance druids are down there at the bottom and fire is upper mid.
As far as I can tell this is more of a nerf to the difficulty of the content than a buff to any specific class. Most specs received some sort of a buff, some more than others.
Not sure why Blizzard decided to approach it this way but I can’t say my reaction wasn’t dissimilar to this before I combed everything over.
So mages and balance druids are there not only because of the damage but also because of the utilities. Marks of wild, intellect, aoe stops, solar beam. They are not super relevant in raid but mandatory in high keys.
Blizzard just fails to see it or maliciously makes that happen.
I’m sure game devs do play the game, but at what level? Heroic and +10s? Sure, it doesn’t really matter all classes are viable.
The changes to Balance Druid are a small buff for raid where they are underperforming, and overall neutral to slight nerf in M+ depending on pull size.
I don’t know fire mage, but the buffs were for a specific hero talent tree right? Presumably the bad one that no one was using and they wanted to make it viable choice? That doesn’t mean a buff to their performance with the current hero spec.
