Not sure y ur telling me that. I’ve been one of the biggest advocates for combust nerf. He just said they didn’t even touch fire and I’m pointing out they did

Personally I think pyrokinesis should be removed as well. Would make combust more predictable

Well this just means that each Ward you get from Triune Ward now is less valuable now, so them purging it off you means they’re taking something less valuable off you so in a way, it’s a buff!

Yea…Nothing to see here…

Prot Paladin > SV Hunter.

LMFAO THATS IT? LOL 20%? What a joke. Should have literally been 40% MINIMUM.

It’s an okay start but it doesn’t feel it will bring down those classes to the level of other classes at all, and WoG nerf should’ve been a lot more considering that ret heals more than healers.

Also, huge lack of buffs to underperforming specs

If you have a problem against dk self heals why don’t you just use mindgames next time? No need to punch down on a struggling class in the current meta. Even with a death strike revert its not like dks are going to be popping off 20k WOG crits every few seconds.

Rets critting for 20k WoG. I think a 20% nerf will be fine. No hybrid should be able to heal for that much in one global, as an instant cast - regardless of whether or not you have to spend holy power to do it. Keep the current healing if you add a hefty mana cost to it so you can oom like other hybrids that self heal.

Hell no hybrids self healing should be able to keep up with the damage output this meta, but rets can.

You just convinced me to download this game.

I am not sure. It can easily make the difference between surviving and dying. The intention shouldn’t be to make Ret/Prot unplayable, just not being so overtuned any longer.

Don’t forget Warlocks. When FotM BfA Destro reroller are still viable in SL, we deffo need some tuning there! :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyways, personally I think Arms is the biggest problem from my perspective. I would still wait though and look how the meta in general changes after the fixes. For me it seems like they still adapt to high damage, but want to reduce some broken healing/absorb, which is great in my opinion!

The game should get faster, not slower - as the AWC has shown!

I… I like this. I think this sufficiently addresses Prot Paladin, especially in combination with the WoG nerf. And healer comps won’t just auto-win to Double DPS it seems.

This is interesting, I wonder if this will be enough for Hunters? Was this an issue for Unholy? I always just targeted the Unholy DK and burst them down. For Demo… doesn’t Demo mostly need a damage buff? I’m pretty sure demonology has ramp issues, not pet survivability issues.

HHHHHHAAAAHAHAHAHA :wave:t2: thanks Blizz. bye bye Balance.

Honestly, with the dampening changes… I think I’m cool with this. Maybe this will be significant enough for Rets to start choosing the Flash of Light variant.

It’s 20% WoG and 20% dampening. do the math.

So instead of ret/healer it will be ret/dps. The dampening only takes place if both teams have a healer or tank. Ret is classified as a dps spec so they wouls not be affected by dampening if they paired with another dps spec.

that convoke “nerf” does nothing.

2s isn’t that interesting to be honest, especially only if both teams have a tank and/or healer!

It does fix the one-shot potential. No intention to nerf it to the ground.

Some people can’t read, can they? :stuck_out_tongue:

when both teams have either a tank or healer.

So it will nothing change between healer+dps vs double dps.

The convoke nerf still doesn’t prevent 3 stars urge crits back to back in a few seconds. I can only remember one time I saw a full moon crit me for 18k. That doesn’t happen very often.
