Rank one players, and, it’s day one. Clickbait noted.

I’m looking at the numbers and it looks like 8 is 7 more than 1. That’s just science there.

I could tell you a story about a fire mage in BFA that must have kited 10, maybe 20 players and just kept killin’ and killin’. No one could touch 'em. Saw it myself. That was in WPvP in Nazjatar. I wonder if we’ll see something similar.

I bet my paldain and druid get burned up in bgs!

Go get 'em mages!

I don’t think you should have a live bomb in your garage.

Happened to me too. My pets made it worse. Insta 20% on entire team.

This type of stuff just shows that they do no testing whatsoever before sending things live. A single instance of seeing this in a test would show it’s not alright. This might be the straw tbh. Please post on the council boards about this.

This legit happened to me at 2100. It’s not just R1.

Soooo
 Was living bomb always capable of doing this? Chain exploding off pets/minions? Cuz it sounds like it was always capable of doing this and just nobody figured it out because nobody ran living bomb.

Living bomb is meh. Even if you are demo is the only risk factor just call for a dispel and don’t be within 10 yards of your pets when it triggers

Played with a fire mage all night didn’t win from a bomb a single game running standard build

Nah everyone knew it just did pitiful amounts of damage and couldn’t dent soul leech even with a dozen explosions.

It’s been doing 1-2% of peoples hp at most for over a decade now.

Typically not even 1%

It was already buffed by 400%-440% which was increased to 800%. I say 400%-440% because some parts were at 400% and some at 440%

The explosion went from 544.44% to 900%, the dot went from 500% to 900%.

Actually looking at the coefficients, pretty sure living bomb was buffed to 400% and 800%, and not buffed by the same. So 80% more damage on the explosion and 100% more damage on the dot compared to the previous iteration.

This always feels kinda bad, and that’s me on DH this expansion.

Survival is fun as hell right now like you mentioned, super enjoying mine. I found Devoker really fun when using time stop to annoy rogues, and just being the most W Key caster in the game.

If you’re interested in melee, maybe give some WW a try. Rewarding damage and the mobility is fun to play with. You’re all over the place and there’s definite room to out play with ports and ring, etc.

I’ve been noticing this trend with alot of dh mains this expansion. Everyone’s saying the class is unrewarding to play and just feels like a damage bot that’s boring to play.

its the most boring class to play. i have one full geared and hate playing it
