I would like to pick my class and start gearing that class without fear that it gets nerfed into oblivion or some other class gets buffed to the moon and have to reroll and start gearing a new class.

Nah, bro. Nerf/buff every week so nobody ever knows what’s meta. Everyone is forced to pick by any other metric than current tuning.

You could always play what you find fun and not go FOTM.

It’s not fun for me to play a useless class.
Also it’s not fun for me to re-roll five times every season.
Any post season release adjustments should be suspended. Will the season go live with a couple of specs that over perform? Yes but at least we can safely re-roll to the OP spec without worrying about having to reroll again.
Mid season tuning like the prot paladin re-work was exceptionally disrespectful to the player’s time.
So many people put time and effort into gearing prot warriors and all that was worth nothing because prot paladins got buffed to the moon and every other tank became irrelevant
If blizzard continues with these mid-season re-works and balancing, I’m just not going to play anymore.
I am tired of having my time wasted.
Ok so I geared the meta tank and got that ready over the course of six weeks. What just happened? Oh a new tank got buffed to the moon and my prot warrior is now worthless
Let’s take a gander at your experience in TWW season one as a mistweaver, shall we?
You can’t play necrotic wake at a real key level because everyone needs a priest to Mind control (otherwise the key becomes much more difficult and why would people handicap their group just to invite you?)
You can’t play mists of tirna scithe at a real key level because groups need an MC to give mobs the % dmg taken increase.
Why would I invite a mistweaver when I could just invite a priest and make the key 1000% easier?
Did you find it fun that every group that invited you handicapped themselves and made the dungeon much more difficult just to accomodate your desire to play a fun class?
Again, I don’t find it fun to play useless classes
I would like to re-iterate that I do not have a main class or a preferred spec to play. I will play whatever is best. I don’t care which class/specs are best, I just want to know what they are at the start of every season so I don’t waste 6-8 weeks of great vaults on a class that gets deleted after a balancing pass by the devs.

No worries guys. Blizzard’s motto is “We’ll release it when it’s ready.” They would never go live with a bunch of bugs present.

This thread has nothing to do with bugs but thanks for reading the OP before responding?
Uh literally Brew has been unable to test tier set because it’s bugged. Who knows if it’s balanced? Take the stick out of your butt.

I’ll save you the trouble : no, brewmaster is not worth playing in season 2.
Glad we had this chat.
Enjoy your 15% dmg buff when other tanks received 20%

What do you consider a real key? There are mistweavers timing 17-19 NW and Mists. Are those fake keys?
Saying a spec is useless because it’s not meta is just not true. And your MC examples don’t have anything to do with balance. Priests are the only class with MC. Go look at the S2 dungeons and see if MC is useful. No need to wait for Blizz to do anything, you can do that yourself right now.

These were some of the worst patch notes i have ever seen.
I am seriously disappointed.
Blizzard obsession with nerfing spec mechanics is really annoying me.

So the estimated title cut off is 3441 as of right now.
Let’s see how many of each spec gets this:
Tanks - IN THE WORLD
Brew - 8
BDK - 5
Prot Paladin - 787
VDH - 10
Prot Warrior - 12
You shouldn’t have to reroll. Balance the game better. It’s just tuning knobs and quite frankly, players deserve better.

Holy cheese wiz.
That sorts of data should tell you as a developer something’s wrong with what you ended up designing.
Is this data true? Because that’s damn horrific.
These numbers don’t really represent balance though do the they, they represent popularity. The fact that all bar 1 spec is represented at that level means that all, potentially bar that 1, is capable if doing the content.

There is a grand total of zero mistweavers who timed a 19 NW according to raider io leaderboard for NW.
There is ONE mistweaver that timed 18 NW one time (this MW is ortemis who is playing with some of the best players in the world such as Banshers and Noxiv - yes the team was handicapped by inviting a mistweaver)
Given that the highest necrotic wake timed is a 20, no, I wouldn’t consider a 18 a real key.
A prot warrior is useless when compared to a prot paladin this season, yes.
Again, I don’t care what spec’s are meta, I’m not begging for buffs to my favourite class. I just want to know what the best specs will be on release day of the patch so I don’t waste 7-8 weeks of great vaults on a class that becomes useless due to another class getting buffed to the moon

I consider Megasett (Toixic) to be one of the best Mistweavers in the world, yet even she hasn’t completed all keys at a 17.
As someone who has pushed for title, I feel that many lower-level players don’t fully grasp the complexities, strategies, and nuances required to time keys at higher levels.
While some in the forums criticize the competitive spirit, I appreciate it.
Blizzard, you need to step up and improve. I get that some of your developers might be more into casual games like Candy Crush or Animal Crossing, but there’s a dedicated group of competitive players who just want consistent weekly tuning updates.
The issue is that Blizzard often shifts focus to new content too quickly (considering there’s already an 11.1.5 patch on their private server). They need to stop prioritizing Classic, Cata, or Season of Discovery—or simply hire more developers to properly balance the game. Retail shouldn’t suffer because of nostalgic gamers.

There is however a huge difference between pushing for title and moaning that all other specs are useless if they cannot make it!

No, please. This is the exact thing I do not want.
I want blizzard to release the patch and not engage with any balancing again until next season.
Things will never be balanced, and it is better to just leave them unbalanced than attempt to balance them and make prior meta classes become useless.
I wasted 8 weeks of great vaults on a prot warrior only for a prot paladin to become the only useful tank.
I’m tired of re-rolling mid season. I will play whatever class is meta so long as I don’t have to worry about wasting progress on that class mid-season because “reasons”.
Changing the meta mid season is disrespectful to the players’ time to the extreme. So many wasted weeks on great vault, so much wasted gold on enchants, wasted gold on crafted items, etc.

Just wait another 8 weeks when they inevitably rework a spec and it becomes OP for the rest of the season. I swear this happens every season since DF.
