In all honesty about the prot nerfs

Yes, it’s fun to watch triple clicking players run at my healer with immunities. Such high level of gameplay and skill.

lol

To be honest, I’ve always heard Stun is a really nice guy. I don’t think your chosen comp is healthy for the game so I’m glad to see it go, but I hope you find success with other specs or whatever you decide to do.

Blizz should have nerfed this a long time ago, it’s actually sad that they let it go on for so long and gave so many prots welfare rating they think they deserved.

So two guys total triggered a few extremely insecure top players (the same who abuse warrior, rogue, fire mage, ret, etc) to the point of nerfing prot…meanwhile we will all be insta killed by actual OP specs that literally half the latter plays for another year…uhhhh ok?

Just make prot que as healer. Problem solved, a unique healing spec gets to live.

Weird people on this forum

I’m psure that was actually suggested quite a bit especially when Drainer used it in tourney play, I don’t think that would have been unreasonable at all

Regardless it’s not like it’s been anything new, psure with clips of blessing of summer gimmicks though they figured instead of nerfing entire covenant (which only gets play as prot rly) better to just nerf the entire spec as a whole

Does EU complain about prot as much as NA? Feel like losing to someone like drainer isn’t as tilting as losing to stunandbung playing double healer. Would explain why people here are so mad about prot.

Ya I’ve seen far more blessing of summer 1 shot clips on EU lol, people play prot boomkin comps or prot sub rogue and just go for 1 shots with immunities etc.

Oh wait what prot nerfs happened

I feel for you. They really just up and deleted prots healing overnight. But, as Tank players, we resort to current gimmicks and borrowed power to be viable in pvp. It will always come to an end sometime.

Sorry bud :frowning:

oh no!
anyway…

If you have to nerf a spec by 80% I think you should also nerf their current cr by 80%.

Cant wait to see all the WWs, warrs, and fire mages lose their CR also.

or is that not how that works?

Seems like changes are considered internally for some time before being pushed live. I would personally love to see balance changes made throughout the season given how long seasons are. But I agree that there’s no need to spring these kind of significant changes on people with one days notice.

A better system would be where there are frequent balance passes but where changes that are being contemplated are announced well ahead of being pushed live. Like, Blizzard has probably had prot off-healing on the radar since we saw prot main healing in AWC.

As they got closer to deciding to do something about it and honing in on what that something was going to be, they could have announced it via a post (as they have done with some of their changes lately) to at least give people some time to anticipate it and provide feedback before it’s pushed live.
