And this is after nerfs? Crazy damage, incredible mobility, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many stops. It’s like they have the toolkit of a rogue with the damage of an affliction lock. What in the hell Blizz?

They were actually worse before getting toned downed down a bit.
i play ret warr and dh(rarely) and tbh i dont that much stronger on my dh than my other melee…its stronger but not by alot
Playing as a Shadow Priest vs Ret or Warr doesn’t feel nearly as bad as playing against DH. When I’m healing, I feel like I have a big advantage if I have a DH on the team and the other team has a ret or warr. Rets and Warrs wear plate and I still wind up having to pump less heals into them than the DH. Might just be me, but I feel like the gap is significant.
Ret/Arms War/Destro/Ele/Boomy are all as strong if not stronger than DH atm. Just wait till you run into decent people playing thunder or nature cleave it’s a gaddam nightmare.
I’d rather q into any dh comp than ret/war. Drooling mogo’s that invalidate 2/3 of the specs in the game minimum b/c they exist.
A DH basically robbed me of Duelist on an alt today by literally 3-shotting someone through defensives. “Lucky crit”… I guess I’ll just wait for inflation to ‘blanket’ me after the weekly reset and pray for another decent lobby.
This isn’t Obsidian.

Inflation has been poor, yes, but NO MMR points at all? 
I’ve been sitting my main since January!
Not even 2 or 5 I’ve seen thrown here around the forum? Please, Blizz? Maybe a blankie for everyone’s final push?!
Who am I kidding…
I guess it’s down to “spam CC the DH then and pray one cast isn’t kicked by any of 5 stops or 'immune’d by any of 5 instant shenanigans”, so I can live 2-3 seconds longer in the face of 80k dps with 300k crit spikes? 
You’re welcome!
I believe it’s all as a result of the stamina increases. Games are longer which means that classes with more frequent stops have become so much more annoying. DH’s can blur and immune more frequently over the course of the game because they can no longer die in stuns(couple the stam increase with sub rogue evis nerf and they’re no longer nearly as scary). And in DH’s case, it feels like a momentum-based PVE game. It’s easy to fall behind when they glimpse a stun and are immediately back on you just dumping high consistent damage.
Shaman’s static totem, knocks, and grounding only have become more infuriating. It’s also why I suspect ferals have become more prevalent in 3s lately - you can actually utilize more CC(read: abuse more cyclones) to set up big burst kill windows and/or slow the other team down even further.

That actually gives me hope for a final push in case I tank or DC on my one or two-wins-away characters. Thanks! 
And, I hope everybody gets their wins before the season ends!
Did none of the chars play during that period
Because we’re down to what, like, 5 a week from 20
160 / 12 = 13.3 so it shouldn’t really
13 apparently, interestingly enough that 7 seems to actually make up the roughly 100 they inserted into the ladder
which means they relented and gave mmr up front but actually took a similar amount out of the schedule meaning we’re now where we would have been without the 100 insert ish

Ye, I think they might’ve realized that 20 a week last seas in addition to that initial bump might’ve been a bit much or something.
I need to check my reflex to see if I can figure exact numbers again.

OH. Well, ig that doesn’t change much either way. One can only try to play as best as they can
I’m looking forward to next season regardless, as I should have more time and am planning to play different classes to learn and improve. I just hope there will be better incentivization, somehow, so that queues aren’t as bad and one-shots less frequent… It’s a bad Ouroboros of neglect we’ve got going on as the expansion winds down
imma keep it a buck with you fam where you are at right now all those people are bad this is just a skill issue though ret/war/fw understandable that comp is a abomination even tho I play it I hate it. dh/boomy is also a nightmare espcially with a pres instead of rsham they are on par with ret/war/fw and destroy it a majority of the time cause clone is such a gigga cc and stalls mws. SO SIMPLE solution is to play boomy learn to juke kick not like its hard and farm the ladder with dh/boomy/pres or yk play ret/war/fw.
delete dh and rogue from the game
