How bad did the nerfs hurt obliteration builds? Is it still a decent enough alternative? Or did blizzard get mad that people would rather play obliteration despite breath being ahead and nerfed oblit builds into worthlessness?
What level of content are you doing?
Knowing nothing about you, I would have a guess is saying that obliteration is still fine to use for any content you are currently doing.
If you are pushing to get 90+ parses in mythic raid, probably need to swap to BoS build.
Wish Blizz would stop being so obsessed with Breath of Sindragosa. They need to realize not everyone enjoys it and stop trying to push it. Now I’m not saying remove it, I just wish Blizz would stop trying to make it the go to build because some developer(s) have a hard-on for it.
You know, I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they removed or reworked Breath of Sindragosa at this point.
I honestly don’t want to see it removed because some people actually like it, I just feel like Blizz constantly tries to make it the go to build and refuse to accept that some people might not enjoy it.
BoS by its nature is high risk due to it being a 2m CD that requires HEAVY uptime and very costly to get to on the talent tree. As long as it remains all these things the reward has to match all the cost and risk or it becomes a dead talent. To make it worth the risk it just simply has to outperform the other options in the tree but enough to make it worth it or its a dead talent. Unfortunately to make it strong enough to be worth the risk of taking it they end up making the other options dead choices.
I’m all for breath getting reworked and it being the AOE option. It needs to be 1.5 mins to line up with pillar and FWF for riders and be more consistent. The left side needs to be the optimal ST option. BoS should never be best ST and AOE.
Kinda, they just need to make the shattered blade nodes better.
Shattered frost is the only capstone that doesn’t have any st interactions.
That needs to be fixed.
My proposal is to make shattered frost increase the max stacks of razorice, and make your shattered blade consume up to the new max.
This would make shattered frost interact in aoe and st, removing the issue.
No need to change breath, for the people who like it, they just need to provide an alternative.
