its like a 9% haste nerf just from the talent on top of their best partner rogue getting nerfed on top of their worst match up hunters getting buffed. Okay bro.
Boomkin has been clobbered with nerfs

An 8% trinket nerf isn’t going to kill all burst

Warlocks are not outperforming other caster specs and certainly not outperforming melee. 9% haste nerf on top of 10% Shadowrun and 5% bolt on top of over all damage reduction from trinket is stupid. Buffing marks and ww is just the cherry on top to play something else.
Destro is infinitely a better ladder spec atm than moonkin
Demo still has viable comps
Are you actually trying to imply destro and even demo isn’t god tier atm?

Well it’d be hyperbolic to say otherwise
The point is certain specs’ primary win condition is doing big damage. Now that primary win condition will be weaker.
Other specs win with CC or in dampening, and those specs will be the big winners from this trinket change.
So Rogues/Demo/Arms/Bm. Stuff that didn’t have their 25-50% Mortal Strikes or their 9 second CC chains nerfed
Meanwhile something like Devastation or Frost DK, which just wins based off HOOJ damage, is going to be worse off.
'Least, that’s how I sees it.

Ele, boomkin, bm, even devastation has about the same rep on both solo and 3v3 above 2100 and 2400. Arms and unholy have more rep. So nerf destro by 10+% while buffing the classes that directly counter them. K bro.
a potential flipside of that will be that the healer behind dragon dk is now more capable of keeping the game alive to the one go that actually wins the game. if cupid becomes 8% worse at running you down like hounds on a fox, and you get a minute further into every game, you probably win a few more of those games.
most of the time when i lost to fdk teams this season i got extremely overkilled in a go i just ran out of answers for, rather than barely killed at the last second of a stun
Literally affects everyone instead of dealing with the problem classes, as usual for Blizzard.

Warlocks, particularly Destro and Demo are already so tanky and now damage is going down and health pools will keep increasing as get more geared, equalling even bigger Death Pact shields.
Locks are going to be really hard to take down.
Ironic you say that
You’ve obviously never played lock against ww/dk/dh/hunter cleaves. Aff will probably be unironically better than destro after these changes. And good luck playing aff into the new meta specs lmao.

How is arms not getting nerfed?

Instead of nerfing our damage they should bake the wpvp 4set into the trinket bonus.
As someone who plays all of the DPS classes (but not all of the specs) there are definitely some that are overperforming on damage. However, I felt that all of the classes were “doable” and had their moments.
With a flat damage nerf on the trinkets it has the potential to make some of the classes that were not overperforming unplayable.
The game needs targeted tuning, not blanket changes.
And the MM buffs… again, totally clueless. It just seems that their only “go to” is to buff damage and not improve or adjust toolkits.

Go play a real caster like mage or warlock or shadow priest before you post your bias opinion

Well, at least they’re trying to slow down the pace a tiny bit so people might have one more GCD before they’re burst down.
