Dragonflight Class Tuning Incoming - May 7

[Mystgun-goldrinn]

IKR, guess I know which alt to run blitz with until Remop releases.

It’s always hysterical seeing MM PvP buffs when they are completely over the top in BGs, but I guess this is an Arena fix since BG always feel like fodder content when it comes to dev adjustment.

AS for the BrM damage changes, it seems in line with what I’ve seen from the top tanks report: they had avg 285k dmg, above even VDH. I don’t know how some BrM get that though.

@Galedron-area-52

MM having high ranged is the only fun it gets.

And almost unstoppable skills, save for the rare disarm/CCs, the longer range and ease of interrupting any casted spell.

No wonder BGs are filled MM lately, and I’ll be joining on the fun soon.

They need some serious reworking for both BGs and pillar hump galore AKA Arena.
A CD to make shots curve (not that damn owl) would be more interesting than the added range on sniper shot.

Vengeance

• Sigil of Silence duration reduced to 4 seconds (was 5 seconds).
• Sigil of Silence cooldown increased to 90 seconds (was 60 seconds).
• Cycle of Binding now reduces Sigil cooldowns by 2 seconds per trigger (was 3 seconds).
• Soul Cleave damage reduced by 8%.

get wrek’d VDH

That nerf literally did nothing to the meta. DHs are still the best tanks by far for keys. Sooo, no they didn’t get wrek’d.

One thing that’s imperative for me is to keep fury s3 tier at least as powerful as s4. They are 2 completely different builds that are very polarizing. I want to play fury with the s3 tier. I’m bummed about trying a spec I don’t like (arms) because fury s4 feels even worse because of ravager and spear. Make sure that annihilator/OF is viable and I will be a very happy warrior while waiting for the return of bladestorm to fury in 11.0.

[Puddleblock-moon-guard]

Weird to see Brewmaster nerfed. Were they putting out that much damage?

[Tacothebell-lightbringer]

@Nylon-durotan

How about you just give Fury Warriors the Season 3 set bonus we should have gotten instead of the bad one that certain people vote stuffed to get?

I would love this. You are right about the manipulation. S3 should’ve won. S3 fury is the most fun I’ve had as fury in years. My main has been a fury warrior for 13 years and s2/s4 is the only version that I’ve hated over the years.

[Twikk-sargeras]

what a bunch of out of touch - braindead changes

why are we buffing boomkin - the most prevelant class in M+ and PVP 3s right now? WTF is wrong with blizzard

these changes are pretty tone deaf and dumb, no nerfs to Havok DH, no nerfs to Boomkin, but you buffed their damage?

wtf this solidifies that literally nobody at blizzard plays this game that can make any meaningful changes, that or they are maining boomkin and DH again for this season

gosh damn this company is just the dumbest sometimes, play your own game blizzard

Vdh didnt need a nerf, OTHER TANKS NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT IN LINE WITH VDH, have you guys played your own M+ dungies? I highly doubt anyone at blizzard is even close to 2k rated in M+, and if they are they are probably playing DH or Druid.

Blizzard you guys change things that dont need to be changed, nerf things that dont need a nerf, and buff classes that dont need it

I ll have whatever yall are smoking in the break room, cause this stuff is wack

[Kennie-malganis]

@Orkydorkydoo-burning-blade

Let’s see some Arms nerfs

Arms got some deserved buffs, though.

@Twikk-sargeras

Vdh didnt need a nerf

Yeah, it did.

@Twikk-sargeras

OTHER TANKS NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT IN LINE WITH VDH

Other tanks lack the potential to lock down a pack of casters for half a minute

[Clssck-proudmoore]

@Kaivax

Vengeance

• Sigil of Silence duration reduced to 4 seconds (was 5 seconds).
• Sigil of Silence cooldown increased to 90 seconds (was 60 seconds).

This is not the nerf that’s needed.
Double sigils should only affect damage sigils not the control sigils.

VDH still have AoE stun, 2 fear sigils, 2 grip sigils, and 2 silence sigils. thats 7 aoe stops. This is the problem.

[Lysarie-moon-guard]

Yeah we need brought down lmao. Shadow is disgusting

[Twikk-sargeras]

@Clssck-proudmoore

VDH still have AoE stun, 2 fear sigils, 2 grip sigils, and 2 silence sigils. thats 7 aoe stops. This is the problem.

Blizzard doesn’t know their own game, the issue is that other tanks dont have remotely the toolkit that VDH has

just buff other tanks to be IN LINE with VDH, not nerfing VDH so every tank is having a horrible time

play your own game blizzard

[Exanthema-stormrage]

lol…

Oh well. I’m just waiting for TWW at this point.

Got Pandamonium and Cata to get me through to TWW pre patch. I’m over this season, lol. DF dungeons aren’t fun. I hope TWW is better lol. And class tuning appears to be a game of darts.

[Lysarie-moon-guard]

Legit.
I love keys and always have, but this season just straight up sucks. lol

[Shaurissara-arathor]

@Kaivax

• Keg Smash damage reduced by 10%.
• Spinning Crane Kick damage reduced by 10%.
• Summon White Tiger Statue damage reduced by 30%.

Oh thanks for taking away more power. I was thinking to myself the other day my Monk does far too much damage.

[Ieatgrass-thrall]

• Oblivion damage increased by 25%.
• Shadow Bolt damage increased by 90% in PvP combat (was 60%).

Buff a pvp talent we can’t fit in.
And then buff shadow bolt which no one ever presses.

Player feedback? No one who plays would have asked for this

[Caprisunny-moon-guard]

keep buffing the underperformers
its a meme season

[Bawk-sargeras]

@Twikk-sargeras

why are we buffing boomkin - the most prevelant class in M+ and PVP 3s right now? WTF is wrong with blizzard

Our tier set was a downgrade and made us do less dps going from 4 set to 4 set. This is not a buff, it is fixing the tier to make it actually usable.

[Zinkfighter-illidan]

@Kaivax

Warrior

• Arms
  • The Arms Season 4 2-piece and 4-piece class set bonuses are longer reduced by 50% in PvP combat.

Typo on this line. I’m guessing there’s a missing No (like Pokemon lol).

[Sifu-bleeding-hollow (Sifu)]

This is what happens when Blizz hires a war pvp main (smexxin) to be a pvp dev.

[Kuröshi-faerlina]

No buff for Holy paladin again… (PvE)

[Fkya-area-52]

@Sifu-bleeding-hollow

That nerf literally did nothing to the meta. DHs are still the best tanks by far for keys. Sooo, no they didn’t get wrek’d.

I dont think the intention was to change the meta. It was to lessen the effect of the issue. The CDR and baseline silence nerfs are pretty hefty. This will likely reduce the gap a decent bit.

Very weird they didn’t fix survival hunter and nerfed brewmaster damage with no compensation.
