We are scaling so poorly… Feels bad man…
I agree. WTB RSK and BoK Buffs. And maybe TP.
People play WW in raid?
Ww is the lowest dps in raid right now
RSK buffs are what is needed for certain. Right now RSKless rotation is a thing again because it hits like a wet noodle. Buffing BoK doesn’t fix this at all. BoK reducing FoF CD is so strong that our wet noodle can be easily pulled out of the rotation in favor of more FoF. I think making RSK great again would easily bring us back from the brink.
They are buffing rising sun by 25% and blackout kick by 10%; up on mmo champ
hopefully ww’s will be able to crit for half of someones HP again
Doubt that will be happening. And I rather avoid that because blizzard tends to do knee jerk over reactions in their nerfs to us
Not trying to sound like an ungrateful person, but this buff equates to like 4% of total damage… I was kind of hoping to more on the vein of 50% to RSK. We’ll see though. I’m curious if this + the buff to VoP might make serenity usable again.
Which I would be ok with cause I hate the legion sef.
50% seems a bit much. However, i could see it happening if blizzard undid the 27% nerf to BoK they did in the BfA pre-patch to avoid the whole dropping RSK from our rotation thing we had near the end of Legion and in non-BiS Azerite WW monk cases.
I hate current SEF but I don’t really like serenity much either so…FML? Lol
WTB WoD SEF back
I rather mop, you can switch places with a clone with transcendence transfer
WW will need more.
WW will scale the worst going forward as traits, essences etc scale up.
Funnily enough a significant portion of this is due to FoF and how it stops auto attacking and how a significant amount of procs only have a chance from the ability activation instead of each tick.
This reduces our passive damage and it’s passive damage which other melee specs have pulled ahead with.
Also don’t forget that our position at the bottom is boosted a little by the ToD +SEF + cyclotronic bug and we are likely to face a dps loss as we migrate to new trinkets (or possibly cannot migrate to a new trinket)
A 50% buff to RSK would only be like a 6 or 7% DPS increase. That is less than they buffed Arcane previously and they were not much worse than us.
I was more looking through the lens of PvP. While I relish the opportunity to break my foot off in more peoples’ posteriors. Too strong a buff might make Blizzard template RSK’s damage in PvP, and I’m not a big fan of ability templates.
I think that the recent changes on the PTR are a little restrained, but an acceptable middle ground. Personally, I’d rather Blizzard have buffed BoK by 27% (to revert the BfA pre-patch nerf) and for RSK to be buffed even harder than 27% (so 50%+ sounds good) to balance it out. And then not touch the PvP side of it.
