Dragonflight Class Tuning Incoming - May 7

Their Brewmaster change doesn’t make sense at any level of play, though.

I’ll applaud when I see a warrior tank doing 18s and not having to kite.

They buffed our survivability.
We won’t die if we don’t get invited to keys.

Hi, fine nerf Brewmaster damage…if somewhere there is data to support that.

But can you please either increase the AOE radius of keg smash or increase the threat modifier on keg smash to compensate. Please

Thanks

What are you guys thinking !?? Seriously !? A damage nerf to one of the least represented tanks in the game?? .

I tried playing vdh and the buttons on my screen just halved from when I play BRM.

Where are the numbers that you are closely monitoring ? I’d love to see them seriously.

Does brm even have a dev anymore? Do you not even care that we are declined in keys constantly. Brm and prot warr absolutely feeling gutted atm. 0 explanation where this is from.

Holy Paladins in PVE don’t exist I guess. Despite there being ample data in raid and m+ and feedback about it’s lack of healing, it received no changes.

So, what data are you using exactly? These class tuning posts while well received by some, ignore large swaths of the user base sometimes with little to no explanation or transparency about what data the class balancing team are looking at.

Fixing Boomkin tier is good but the same issue afflicts Surv and Blood. Tell me there isn’t some favouritism, higher priority specs, or squeaky wheel going on here.

Where’s @Brewa? He called a spinning crane kick nerf lol. I can’t believe it.

STILL WAITIN ON THOSE DEMON HUNTER NERFS… … Any day now… Right?

At this point I’d just be happy if they fixed the bug where Blur gives 80% dodge instead of the intended 50%

The same team that put together the Dark Ranger for the War Within had their usual level of input to class tuning… Good to know that Hunter is a non competitive class for the 3rd expansion in a row.

NO DH nerfs coming, the devs like playing their DH, Ret, and the other broken classes

Woah, I need to try a bit of MM PvP… :bow_and_arrow:

As one of the people doing these keys with Equinox, it’s even more laughable because he’ll also just randomly get giga stomped by stuff that a VDH would laugh at, and we frequently talk about how ridiculously easy VDH keys are compared…

These nerfs are so out of touch, damage was the only thing making the BRM risk viable, and this just wrecks it.

The VDH nerfs did nothing, godcomp remains absolutely broken and not able to be competed with, I saw someone complaining about arms which is hilarious; here’s a hint, we’re still mid tier at best, our damage doesn’t compete with mage/SP/lock and we have LITERALLY ZERO UTILITY because we have to lose considerable DPS to have shockwave which DRs the million other stuns ingame anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, thank god you did something, but this is literally about 1/10th of what I was anticipating; I can’t say hoped for because I genuinely assumed you’d just dropped retail til TWW and were saying forget it, but these changes are honestly just a bit insulting when put alongside “We’re totally listening to you and looking at data don’t worry!” The fury buffs are…what? They work out to like 2.6% or something when fury was approx 11% behind. The tier set sucks, S2 was literally cheated to win, and many of us were trying to stop the multiple account spam because it was SO OBVIOUS you wouldn’t tune it, and at least S3 did good damage.

I would speak to the other classes but I truly don’t know enough about their gripes, although I know there are many valid ones based on current tuning, and therefore can only speak to myself and the conversations had with guildies, but this ain’t it guys.

Sweeping, sweeping balance changes need to be made ASAP before push weeks begin or it’s going to be a resounding VDH/Aug/SP/Mage/RDruid with a few odd bears/other healers/locks mixed in about 3-4 key levels above all others, which will lead to many of us just giving up and saying forget it.

Probably inversely related to visage form. Meaning you get extra threat when in your floppy hair form.

Hi, you must new new around here!

Because yes.

The pvp changes to outlaw and assassination are the most tone deaf changes I’ve seen in a long time

These changes are bad. At least tomorrow is pandaria remix

Uh, thought remix was next week
