Nerf Cyclone Nerf Shadowmeld

What is the suggestion here for the compensation buff in-case the abilities in the title were to actually get nerfed?
Casted / bleed damage? Survivability? Mobility? It’s a pick-your-poison situation… I personally would be happy with the playstyle shifting away from cyclone though. So far, Feral looks better served for TWW in this regard than Boomy and Resto. A vision of what each Druid spec brings needs to be decided upon for that to happen, though.

Ability mechanics are never ‘just’ and/or ‘suddenly’ a problem after two decades of being in the game. Increased APM due to stat bloat, resource overabundance due to talent balancing, and just damage being out of whack (PvP is tuned as an afterthought and is affected by a whole lot of shenanigans)… These are all the real culprits behind this type of complaint, and they’re true for every class and spec in the game. Too much mobility, spenders are the new spammable fillers, every class has an answer all the time… This how PvP becomes more like Rock-paper-scissors, and less like Chess. The problems in PvP today are far more profound than one CC or one racial (though outliers should of course be addressed first, with compensation buffs as I alluded to above being put in place).

The keys to a healthy & balanced PvP environment are testing FAR earlier into an expansion’s development cycle, MUCH more frequent balancing and hotfixing, and A LOT more communication. Druids are actually moving into TWW LOSING several abilities, and our Class talent tree looks like trouble both for balancing and build variety.

Regardless, I’ll insist as I have since its inception, that the real problem in Dragonflight (and probably a bit before) has been DPS snowballing all along. People have been outcrying for uptime help in DF because they’re getting 100-0’d in 3 seconds. CC should have stayed just like it was for years. Nerfing it in the middle of the xpak only achieved the opposite effect of what it set out to accomplish because of the speed and damage to which the average player needs to and often fails to respond appropriately. Once again, though, fixing issues when they arise and not 6 months to 2 years after the fact would go a long way towards making PvP more accessible, balanced and fun :slight_smile:

Honestly, homie, you ain’t in the position to attack anyone about PvP experience.

Calm down a bit there

DH calling for nerfs.

lmao.

Might be difficult with such an immobile class like DH. If only DHs had like abilities to suddenly create distance.

I’m 2400+ just by playing in the last two weeks, homie you have zero records lawl

Solo shuffle as a demon hunter in one of the most inflated seasons on record isn’t very impressive given a lifetime of challenger

You’re not very good at finding achievements are you

I’m convinced it’s trolling at this point honestly. The lack of understanding experience and achievements plus just the manner they’re talking to people screams trolling.

Eh, who knows, next thing they’ll say is I have no experience too. It’s fine.

Also, not that it would really change anything, cause I’d be unimpressed either way, but I’m not seeing elite this season :joy:

Do you always speak before fact checking? Who would take you seriously, reacting to my post based on emotions, worthless, none of these last two cyclone defenders has Elite, Elite is Elite, stop making excuses for something that you don’t have and acting like your comments matter in any shape or form

Very odd brand of trolling but alrighty then

Again! Elite is Elite, you either have it or you don’t, your attempt trying to steer the direction is NOT working here, I still don’t know your point, if you don’t even do rated pvp why is your opinion matter at all? The game is completely different at higher level.

Still holding out for a single button rotation tbh.

The class that completely counters a rogue’s core ability/stance crying about a CC and a stealth racial.

Just delete demon hunters and be done with it. They’re either OP or crying. Nothing in between. Delete.

Make that 14 of us LOL

Rogues should have a counter, let’s just be complete honest about it, so many micro ccs and resets.

Since we’re being honest, Cyclone and Shadowmeld have been in the game a lot longer than DH’s sooooo… delete DH’s.

not seeing elite

oh
your paladin
in rss
lol

To clarify, it seems like the OP doesn’t glimpse and hates when he is outplayed by his enemy shadowmelding the hunt.

You just need to do better. Also, you aren’t entitled to casters being your target dummies.

Dh’s, the class that wants everything for themselves and nothing for anyone else. We’re all just their target dummies. Who is it at the end of matches trying to 1v3 as if they will win? DH’s.

For the 3rd time for special ppl, Elite is Elite, where is yours

not glad or legend, and not as prestigious as you think it is
my elite goes to another school though
