I guess we will have to wait and see. Blizz seems to just want to make sure all dps is behind warrior and rogue so as long as that doesn’t happen they should be fine.
Its 42 on Tauren as well. Now lets look at another caster… FROST MAGE.
15% chance to freeze for 5 seconds
20% range (36y)
100% extra crit damage
6% damge boost
2% stacking crit debuff (10%)
50% chance to crit on frozen targets
Could go further but I believe that makes a point. Underperforming classes and specs with phase will become power houses right out the gate at 40 next phase.
Haven’t even talked about what the introduction of spell power gear has done in boosting damage. Use to be that you had to hunt for it once you reached 60 as the pieces were far and few between outside of raids. Now every caster will be having a boost if they have been running BFD long enough.
Casters in general are getting their core talents that define them on the battlefield. I in no way am saying that anyone should be nerfed or anything just that core talents are coming into play that was holding back certain specs from being able to perform.
40 other then 60 has always been my favorite level range for playing in.
Reduce its range to 36 yards with talents, give it a bolt animation to reflect its real travel time and give players the ability to know where the hell it came from, reduce its scaling coeffecient, and add % damage to all abilities in Moonkin form to bring it back up while shapeshifted
You guys have to keep that balance druids don’t get talents that scale for the most part so the 1.0 spelldamage coefficient is making up for a lack of ignite, +spell damage % aura talent, and other things. If you wanna blame anyone for the way it works now, blame vanilla wow’s development team for seemingly not knowing what the hell they were doing when they originally designed balance, a talent tree with less talent support than a damned smite priest build.
Tauren males hit out to 2.55 yards further in melee and in casting. They can also be hit from 2.55 yards further away. Tauren females it’s 2.2 yards. For simplicity I just say 44y.
Not the same. Mages aren’t dropping 44y nukes instantly. They have to hard cast to apply chill effects and this is interruptible. There’s counterplay. This is a large part of my concern.
