Next Class tuning

With Season 2 now underway and Mythic Difficulty Sanctum of Domination opening with scheduled maintenance next week, we’re working on a tuning pass for a few Classes.

    • Kill Shot damage increased by 15%.
  • Survival

Another DP nerf? Blizz so terrible with class design that they give spriests and aff locks buildup mechanic through insanity and shards, but only a single thing to spend them on, and nerf the sht out of both lol.

Hunter kill shot buffs lol, I know these are all with PVE only in mind but they are going to let this spill over into pvp.

Survival already doing pretty good, at least in 2s, going to be insane after these buffs.

Finally playable

It doesn’t matter how good a spec is doing in 2s. Buffs/Nerfs are not aimed at the 2s bracket.

I’d say these weren’t going to go live in pvp but I also thought the dh buffs were not a pvp oriented change coming into SL.

And here we are.

I think we rarely see them offset PvE nerfs/buffs in PvP. Not to say it doesn’t happen, but I don’t remember seeing it a whole lot.

I know right? It’s almost like they don’t test the game and make reactive based changes based on what creative players can do with the game.

I mean we had 1 guy get several corruptions nerfed in BFA (Rextroy)

Lets be honest, they don’t take any bracket into consideration.

Can we PLEASE make these not go live for pvp? Specifically the fire mage and bm hunter ones???
