Imaging typing all this out early on in the data gathering phase for testing of dps classes.
WE did it boys!!! Now time for the rets to get a swing or two from the nerf bat.

Imagine living a life of pettiness and being vindictive in a video game.

Enh shaman is considerably harder, and basically does trash dps now.

Love how Unholy has been dominating this entire rerelease, with only some minor competition from affli locks, but people cry about cats and ret. the first 5/5 had 9 unholy dk.

Because UH didnât get a buff to get there. Instead they copped a nerf (as they should have).
The point isnât that someoneâs on top, itâs that modern Blizzard are changing the game to determine who is on top according to metrics noone knows. I suspect there is no metric given the way itâs been panning out. Just Bliz idea of community vote for fotm.
They donât need a nerf.
Precisely why the âcommunityâ shouldnât be trusted or relied on to provide game balance advice. Itâs the reason I opposed Blizzard weighing in on class balance in the first place - because I didnât trust them to deploy the necessary resources to do it properly.

Itâs confirmed that some people on the Blizz team requested Sim data for different set ups before the glyph change, what are you talking about?
They shouldnât balance only from Sim data, but itâd a useful tool if the team is too small to field enough high level players for internal data.
Now we wait for them to realise thereâs plenty of middle ground between where Ret was and top 2 melee dps.
I mean isnât that what the PTR is for? The top players will sure as heck be there.
Let me know when someone gets 4 piece or Shadowmourne on the PTR.
Havenât check what items are available on the npcâs but it would certainly be easy enough to put all the ICC items there for free.
It would, and lead to better data, but they havenât.
Different* data, p3 gear is good for testing progression and difficulty.
Cool, but⌠theyâre not there. And wonât be. They didnât hand out any ICC gear for PTR testing.
This is a very strange way to do this.
So you take one glyph that increases your damage done by 3% and another that reduces it by 5%. Lol. Imagine a new-ish player looking at this, itâs confusing and makes little sense.
If they wanted to nerf this just add 1 second to the CD of Faerie Fire (Feral). That probably would have a similar effect without it being so weirdly confusing. Bear tanks donât use that ability on CD for damage, it wouldnât nerf them. The difference would be Up to 10 casts per minute versus 12.
I think the biggest problem with a change like this is that it makes that glyph appear optional. The whole purpose of this change in the first place was to remove bear-weaving.
For people who know, the OoC glyph is still better, of course (for multiple reasons), but itâs just a confusing way to do this.
Also, this nerf is definitely targeted to the highest level players who are playing the class perfectly. There is a big difference between good ferals and all-star ferals. Iâd say a much larger difference than most classes (even more so for average players).
And if Iâm being honest, nerfs at this late stage of the game of any kind just feels bad (even if itâs an adjustment from a previous buff). I would lean toward buffing other specs and hopefully avoiding the âneedâ for a 30% damage buff altogether.
