Please look at balancing classes properly and not DESTROYING specs completely. There’s still time to make it right before phase 8 launch.

Revert this and just cut our Judgement damage in half if you want to nerf this. Pushing Judgement to a 6 sec CD makes the rotation feel clunkier and less fun.

Killing Twist (and seal stacking) is such a weird move. Apparently the best Ret build is a 1 button autoattack/exodin spec? None of the bis specs even use Ashbringer, it’s just so strange, and feels like it wasn’t even tested (or thought about for longer than 5 seconds) before being uploaded to the PTR.

I understand the PTR is a place where devs can push WIP changes to gather feedback, but we have less than a week until P8 released.

Please fix, and take another look at the Warrior nerfs while you’re at it

Changing the fundamental gameplay of virtually every ret spec going into the last phase of the season is simply the wrong move and will make a LOT of people angry and upset.

You can tell none of the devs play a pally. When so many was optimistic about possibly the last phaae of SoD, just to gutt the most fun playstyle with the judicator cd change. Nothing like saying unsub a week before phase by killing ret prog builds. Making it the bottom of the barrel slight above tank dps…Was a blast while it lasted. See you all in Classic minus maybe.

They really need to revert all of these changes, and increase certain CDs like SR on other classes which have been too short for their value.

SoD is ending, and they don’t want to extend it. So they’re killing the demand for it by making everyone want to stop playing. Only explanation I can think of.
