Cyclone should be nerfed

Can a druid with more than half a braincell explain how spammable cyclone in arena isnt OP? Playing as a healer in solo shuffle against an enemy druid healer is broken, its no wonder no one wants to heal solo shuffle. Being able to spam a cc that is multiple seconds each time is an overpowered joke and random dps in shuffle in the 1500 bracket arent going to be interrupting.

The cc nerf coming is a good thing, but really they should just remove cyclone completely or add an at least 5 second cooldown. Anyone who thinks cyclone isnt OP is a bias druid.

Two can play that game Paladin should be nerfed with it’s overheals, divine shield, huge damage, ability to lessen stun timers with an aura and so on.

But on a more serious note if you are complaining about cyclone it means you aren’t playing your class right. As paladin is very good at getting out of CCS and absorbs damage.

Even if I don’t pvp much myself, having played lot of other classes and knowing paladins current tool kit.

I’m surprised you are complaining about one CC that is very nichely taken. Also Cyclone can be interrupted from any type of stun or spell interupt lol.

I kind of find this thread funny though and I’m usually not the vindictive type. x3

Just kick it, kite out of the 20 yard range, OR use sacrafice before it lands for free shield.

Or hey, how about the classic…just dps more. Rdruid healing is so lackluster atm, even with full hots rolling and my team full health…going in for one clone and not spamming regrowths can literally cost the game.

Get real troll.

This is genius. I must admit this move didn’t occur to me.

Spamming Cyclone over and over is advantageous. It takes the Druid out of the fight.

Imagine a 1v1 battle where a Druid spends all his mana just Cycloning you for 5 minutes straight. Who won the battle? No one. Everyone just AFKs

There’s also a range on the spell. And a caster timer. LoS, kick, out range.

Does anyone here know what diminishing returns even means? :rofl:
If anything, Boomkin needs defensive buffs in the current OP-melee-1%-of-a-braincell-meta (going by OP’s schema)
I am waiting for the ret nerfs so I can queue again without fear of being 2-shot by an immortal class. Their tyranny has gone unfixed for a month, making other classes lose hundreds of points while they literally got FREE rewards. Thousands of people quit the season as a consequence… and yet a Ret comes here, to the druid forums, asking for our only real hardcasted CC to be nerfed lmao. Def trolling.
I hope everyone can finish pushing for their seasonal goals in time.
GL HF to us all :slight_smile:

the Developers heard your concern, and as a result, the mana Cost of Cyclone has been nerfed by 40%.

Thus Buffing the number casts that can be done by costing less to cast.

evil cackle
now all we must do is get 40% better at transcending our consciousness wave lengths
to be able to juke and dodge every single kick, stun, psuedo-interrupt, knock and gust.
Melee seriously are at great risk now xD

Cyclone isn’t OP.

Because you can kick it.

Said much more simply than my ramblings.
Logic is the ultimate power in the universe. No matter how many people try to deny it.

Some times simplicity is the easiest solution

I root beam the ret
Surely a safe bet
But he steed freedoms
Uh oh… here the pain comes

So I bash
He 'bout to get smashed
300iq trinket?
I’d never think it

I juke the buke
Land an epic cy-clone
Is this ret really that bad?
Idiot just got owned

But wait, here comes the bubble…
Oh no, I’m in big trouble
I pop skin in bear
While I say a little prayer

I spam frenzied regen
But is this really the end?
Only time will tell
This paladin is full send

I enter the second hoj
With no trinket to dodge
While the paladin still clings
With 15 seconds left on wings

I dash while snared
Sacrificing the armor from bear
30 yard range?
Not like the paladin cares

Ret’s opinion’s matters to nobody. Especially a ret reroller after it becomes FoTM. Get Guud and don’t get cycloned, you’ve got so many answers for every class/spec and CC, Quit your QQing
