In all honesty about the prot nerfs

I know there’s a lot of you that are going to flame me just for playing prot and that’s ok but this needs to be said.

A change that kills a spec this far into the season should not happen. Everyone who genuinely enjoys prot has been farming Torgast, korthia and spending hours and hours in arena over the past 6 months.

This change should have happened at the start of the season. I’m 3100 cr on my main, 100 cr away from safe r1 and now I can’t even attempt for that as my main spec. I essentially got a 1 night notice to secure r1 after playing the game for months on ends

A change this big isn’t cool for a prot spec or for any other spec outside of a major patch.

Also, my personal opinion is that gutting prot will make this game worse. Your completely removing a viable spec from the game. Have fun playing against rogue mage, jungle, and ret warrior every single game. It just makes the game so boring and bland and when there’s fewer comp diversity.

The time you wasted in torghast and korthia is most likely equal to, and perhaps less than, all of our time that you wasted making us fight double healer in 3v3 arena.

U have this false idea that prot games are dampeners. Resto Druid games go much much deeper damp.

This isn’t about prots it’s about the manner that his nerf happened. This is a spec killing change that happened because of streamer privilege. I don’t mind prot nerfs but this should have been delayed until 9.2. Not one month before season ends

It honestly was lame of them to randomly change it now and not during 9.1.5 or w/e but nobody is gonna have sympathy for you as prot man honestly. Just the toxicity of the prot playerbase in general along with the cheesing, boosting (esp RMT boosting) pretty much made me not care anymore.

I have no problem with you at all and you seem passionate about the game but the rest of the prot playerbase are so cringe man. They remind me a lot of RBG players

Agreed. When you ruin the fun for everyone you Q into for however many years you’ve been playing prot, kinda hard to feel bad.

You’re delusional acting like prot is some legitimate spec and play style they’re just randomly nerfing. This was long over due.

Should have considered this before playing a fake spec. No sympathy for U

As much as I want prot gutted I will agree a change this drastic should have been done earlier. Or 9.2. Not so much prot but that’s terrible ideology for any jerk response from blizz.

any change that kills off tank specs and destro lock is fine. the specs arent designed well for arena and have no place.

You are upset because they nerfed a meme spec? Double healer was removed from the game a long time ago

Couldn’t have said it better myself my man.

Doing it to you mid season maybe isn’t cool but thats the price you play for playing something that you always knew wasn’t meant to be played.

They did it to you mid season because they were fixing a critical error, not fixing a minor issue.

Remember when you made this whole post about “oooooOoooOo I can win with any spec I just choose this”

LMAOOOO I guess we’ll find out bud.

To be fair there are many instances where other classes get gutted and the unfortunate circumstance is that you just kind of either have to make the best of the spec or play something else.

The game state overall isn’t healthy and prot didn’t really contribute to making it any better. Yeah, qing into RMP sucks, Ret/Warr Sucks, Jungle sucks, but so does qing into a team with basically 2 healers ( if a prots playing with a healer ) that also provides immunities to their teammates while getting blessing of summered or ashen hallowing 40% of the arena.

Everyone else has farm the same things and do the same mindless boring torghast, you’re not an exception to getting nerfed and everyone runs the same risks.

We want more active changes from the developers, there should be more changes than just to prot right now, but it’s really not that unfair to change something when a large portion of the community complains that prot is not fun or healthy to play against. The season likely doesn’t end till February.

Yall act like Prot pld is unkillable? Focus the prot and win after they cycle cds like every other class. It was fun to play, kind of a crap way to adjust them mid season.

Everyone hating on prot like WW, war, rets, mages, hunters havent been busted since SL started lol Yet prot pld gets a spec killing nerf. Like Stunandbung said, They couldve waited until 9.2 or should have did it in 9.1
