I mean, dh tattoos for boomy might be net positive with how much magic damage most spec do - stronger against all casters, and especially our more natural predators like UH DKs, DH and Assassa rogues. (Obviously assa rogues aren’t meta atm but they were in season 1 which is one reason why you saw a lot less boomys out there).
It sucks for stormstrike but that’s how counters work. Boomy is really good against physical damage and less so against magic(nor with any way to gets dots off or immune any sort of damage). While other caster’s have varying proportions of the two.
Yes, I do believe it is a valuable mentality. It more closely mimics how competition is in real life with people of varying talent and skill/style, and allows for more strategy and creative and engaging thought processes to work around said counters. Fighters are disadvantaged by other fighters both stylistically and on physical attributes(size, reach, etc.). However part of what makes someone good is not just how well they fight[play], but also how they strategize around a disadvantage or counter and play to their strength instead. And that’s a helluva lot more interesting to me than if everyone was the exact same class fighting mirrors all day.
Oppression is a bit hyperbolic there. Enh are hardly oppressed from doing damage against boomys I assure you.
Yeah man, if they’d be fair they’d just ask out to remove every defensive from the game.
That’s exactly what’s gonna happen though, CC is reduced and PvE burst is all it is now.
Prepare to play a phone game
you’re telling me that you’d rather egregious mechanics exist as a form of “counter” than the game be well balanced and versatile enough that what matters most in each scenario (mostly) is who played better?
that seems like something i just can’t understand or support
strengths, weaknesses, and niches don’t have to be literal counters
reallocation would be beneficial for everyone
moonkins nonstop cried all of last season about how they’re defensively weak (fried)
imagine forfeiting the ability to literally ignore 5 specs in the game for better durability into the other 35 specs
bear and boom have always had an armor bonus even back when armor was a very substantial path of mitigation… i dont think chickens tankiness is their issue
