try playing boomkin and let me know if you think cyclone needs a nerf

I played a lot of it s1. The main reason its getting so much hate lately seems to be ferals/wild attunement but that doesnt change the fact that its overpowered.

64

I would like to see these “nerf cyclone” discussions also come with some suggestions on how to adjust the rest of the druid kit. Because anyone who has ever played boomy can tell you just how much the spec relies on cyclone/precog to survive and succeed at the moment.

I don’t agree with that, we have to take entire class kits into context. I think Naz’s idea of lesser duration and removing the cast time modifier would be better.

66

Here’s an honest truth. Most people who complain about it are those who get cloned like 15 times a game and frankly, a duration hit seems fine to them because they just want the efficacy lowered but I bet they’d still complain about it. The issue mostly lies in their own play/positioning.

With that said, I still agree a duration hit could be warranted. I’d kind of rather see precog just removed to be honest. As far as cast time modifiers, are we just talking haste? Because as it stands it doesn’t have any individual modifiers unless you take Owlkin adept which is 10%. I don’t think this will matter much (unless we’re talking haste in which case it’ll matter a lot BUT other casted cc should get the same treatment).

Gute Cyclone

68

its a shorter range then all the other CC and has the benefit of making the target immune to damage. Bad clones ruin games.

So I don’t think its objectively OP since it has draw backs

69

I would say cyclone helps.

But druids being highly represented would be more based around their healing output as resto then cyclone. Or at least was.

Then for balance wouldn’t it be because of their damage?

70

How about keep cyclone but put a cd on bear form like every other defensive. Stupid bears.

71

That’s a really bad idea.

72

Diamond Ice also has 2-3 ways to guarantee it will land though.

73

That isn’t the issue, the issue is that a bunch of the drawbacks for Cyclone just do not exist for Boomy.

74

?

75

The playerbase crying for this to happen to classes rather than reverts / buffs to others IMO is one of the main contributors to how the games fallen off.

I’m not saying clone isn’t currently an outlier. It’s objectively probably the strongest the ability has ever been. But that’s only because everything else got gutted.

Revert the changes.

there’s not a reasonable buff out there for other classes that would make cyclone less of a fun killer

77

Cc being unnerfed would be a good start.

bring back the 15% cc reduction set bonus then I guess

79

Diamond has a 25 cd on it and the hunter has to commit pet stun if they are mm/bm thats a 1 min cd as well.

Sv can harpoon it but they still gotta fake fade/revival/ground

Imagine if they were 5 second CD or less being lobbed nonstop. Thats what boomy feels like xd

I can’t even kick them as MM if they disarm me. 5 second disarm FTL

Oh you didn’t see where I said unnerfed cc?

I think feral clone spam is worse, boomy doesn’t get free burst dmg from it.

81

Would sitting afk for 13 seconds during an intim trap make clone more fun?
