Yeah Demonology has been waiting its second expansion for its turn to be viable. Would be nice to be acknowledged as a spec at some point.

Nice. Now a 20% increase overall woulda been better, but hey…

Edit: I had a whole bunch of feedback to post after my…vacation…but after realizing that with 50% of my vacations in the past 16 years of being on these forums being in the last 1 month or so, I think I’ll take that GM’s advice and stop posting for good.

Bye now…

That MM hunter buff pretty much verifies my assumption that whoever tunes hunters in PVP doesn’t do anything except random battlegrounds.

What does mana regen matter when nothing they do costs mana?

I don’t understand why healing at all for actualy healing specs would ever be nerfed in this meta…

the problem isn’t healing, it’s the fact people are dying in literal seconds of a global without being able to possibly react.

healing for actual healing specs shouldn’t be nerfed at all, in fact I believe the inferior healers should be ultimately buffed a slight bit… But that doesn’t mean that prot paladins and off spec’s should be able to heal like actual healers…

nerf damage, stop buffing classes like mages that honestly need a serious nerf in damage… reducing combustion to 3 sec from 5 is like nothing at all…

AWC is prob gonna see a lot more Ret/Warrior/Rshams.

HPals will prob revert to more Hybrid Caster comps for the off-healing/CC that enables them to get drinks.

Still waiting for Arcane Power is no longer reduced by 10% when engaged in combat with enemy players…

Will Bursting Sores still make it absorb 25% more?

A 7.25% total absorb sounds kinda nice

Even though we know some classes need more nerfs and some need more buffs, at least we are getting small frequent tuning, which honestly this game needs more than anything.

The current schedule seems to be AWC --> MDI (pvp tuning) --> AWC (pve tuning)–> MDI (pvp tuning)… etc with small tunings for PVE and PVP on the down time week. If they keep this up we will be in good shape in no time and game will stay fresh. Great work blizz

The 20% reduction was for the upfront damage and the bonus damage - neither of which is particularly powerful to start with, which made the original reduction questionable.

For example, BW hits upfront for about 1250 on my toon with 25% bonus damage while active. In PvP, it was reduced to 1000 upfront and 20% bonus damage.

It’s a pitiful change for two reasons;

  1. Shadowlands seems designed around big burst windows. Mythics, Raids and PvP all require big burst to do well. BM has an almost nonexistent burst window and this doesn’t fix that.
  2. Since Bestial Wrath has probably a 20-25% uptime, it’s about a 1-2% boost to our overall performance. Considering we’re still ~20% behind the leaders, it will change nothing. I doubt anyone will really even notice it.

Yep if it didn’t anymore they woulda mentioned it in these notes im assuming

That’s giving Blizz an awful lot of faith.
