it’s funny because this is also how the two main groups of people vote. lol

It’s a trap!
- Pick the 15% kill command bonus
- Bm rockets to undisputed top dps
- Nerf kill command by 30%
- In 11.0 when hunters lose the set bonus, refuse to revert kill command nerf

I did my part by voting season 3

Destruction Warlocks are voting for passive crit stats over two tier sets that buff actual active spells 
Putting a poll out to the sweats was a great idea, most players dont give a damn and will log in to season 4 with a lame tier set for the rest of the expansion.
So they can assassinate it like they did survival? No thanks stop looking at the other specs.
Wow, 8 years, that’s an impressive grudge.
Like 90% of the votes for demo bonuses are for S3, cuz they don’t suck.
I mean the choices for Destro basically boil down to a passive but reliable damage increase, or Nether Portal Pachinko with the S2 set just kinda sitting in the corner eating glue.
I don’t blame people for not liking Destros S3 set even if I personally prefer it. Overall I’m pretty happy with how the Warlock polls are going.
Demo’s S3 set is how Doom should work TBH.
Guess I’ll go vote for S3 then.
i made sure vote the right set bonus. season 1.
I’m all but certain that the sims people are talking about are long, single target sims. So, in other words, who cares. The thing bm needed more than anything coming into this season was a viable burst window for aoe DMG. The DMG profile requirements for keys very much so favors this. I only really glanced into this briefly, so I could be wrong. But if this is a single target or raid thing you’re preferring s2 for, I’m not on board. Could care less what happens in raid.
Looking at a very small sample (the specs I’ve played in df), it seems quite common for s1 to be very minor passives; s2 big passives; s3 more thematic big passive?
Fingers crossed that they actually adjust the sets we choose to be competitive, rather than just throw it in and pray. I feel for the pvpers though.
Maybe they should have just upped all 3 to the new ilvl, idk.
Yeah pretty much. Trinkets and tier don’t change playstyles a ton in S1, I guess the Devs like having a “baseline” expectation of how specs play so that the bigger trinkets/tier/whatever of the following seasons feel more impactful.
I don’t really feel for the PvPers for Destro too much, since I know the Portal playstyle is pretty toxic since you basically don’t have to hardcast anything. Just Immolate someone and roll the dice on portal resets (and getting the OP flame portals).
I think it’ll less be set adjustments and more a bunch of internal sims with the devs going “since X spec chose a weaker set bonus, they get a 10% aura buff instead of a 5%”.

Sounds logical for season 4 but would that be ideal for the long term balance of the spec? I don’t know the nitty gritty of end of xp > alpha > beta > launch so I couldn’t say if s4 impacts future design or if they’re starting fresh every expansion. Thoughts?
Aura buffs are the lazy/simple way of doing it cause you can buff Rogue by 10% and not fundamentally change their mechanics and thus the long term balance, and if they’re overperforming later you just either revert the Aura buff or reduce it.
I imagine in the background most classes have at least some sort of aura buff attached to them (I certainly know Monks do) that Blizzard can just change the % whenever they want.

I never vote in these polls where random players make development decisions that other players will have to suffer with. It just seems so…how you say…stupid.

S2 tier set is superior for AoE dps as well.

Damn bro that’s unfortunate I picked Season onnnnnne dannnng. S2 does look good tho.
ok so let me get this straight .
Players whinge that Bliz doesnt listen to them .
Bliz make pol for Players to pick something THEY want in the game
Players vote for something YOU dont like
It all Bliz fault that players dont vote the way YOU want
got it
You know there’s a separate poll for appearances, right? The spec tier polls are for the bonus attached to the tier, not the appearance.
