Was just playing with a boomy and he just bullied everyone. He was a previous glad and I’m in all greens on a new pally. It was just so lopsided, it was hilarious… Some of the 2s teams were former glads as well
Would just really like some of their damage taken away in return for some more defensive stuff.
Right now it’s just incredibly toxic if you can keep the boomy alive by qing with hpal/rogue/survival. The damage is just too much, 2 charges of burst is not something that is easy to balance in this game…I know it’s like that for PvE reasons unfortunately…

Release the beast and queue a game or two before it gets slammed.

Boomy still gets absolutely melted by people when you get to ratings where people do real damage. You need a dps with you who can peel like rogue, dh, survival.

Dawg, boomies just bully bgs it’s wild.
Boomy dmg is nuts, but defensives are quite low. I’d argue from the list OP has they’re the squishiest, but I say that not knowing how if Arcane is really slippery or not.

Okay. I’ve played 30 games today and I have some thoughts. I love the fast meta, but my longest game has been just under 2 minutes. 3s feels like shuffle atm, but even faster.
If you don’t IMMEDIATELY trade, you die.
I think any class with cds under 2 minutes just feels insanely strong rn.
I literally don’t think theres a bad class, but it’s hard to tell what’s broken vs whats just a product of the game pace.
From a boomy pov, my avg starsurge is 1.5 mil which is laughable on 16+ million health pools.
However, when I have incarn and trees and cast 3x wrath into 2x surge I literally burst for 11-15 million in 3s. It’s unhealable.
I don’t think boomy is particularly broken from a numbers standpoint; especially not relevant to anything else. However, two charges of incarn in this fast meta is a warcrime and absolutely needs a nerf if this game pace continues.
I’m playing at 2400 mmr into current glads and r1s and everything feels the same ampunt of squishy. Even mages and sp are killable now, which never used to be the case.
I think boomy has historically been a much squishier class and better kill target than others, but it just straight up doesn’t matter now because the game is so fast.
Solid list, I’d be happy if they just nerfed ret and boomy tbh, and just tweaked arcane to not be capable of nearly one shotting.
Haven’t really faced many survival hunters, they didn’t seem op to me.
DH & MM too please

idk, man. All lock/rogue/hunter specs are bananas. Both war specs. Ele, dh, ret, sp, boomy, feral, both DK specs all great. Dev AND aug solid. The ONLY specs I haven’t seen do some insane stuff is enhance shaman and they don’t even seem worse than usual.

i dont think black arrow should ever do 6-8 million damage like it is right now
and i also don’t get why dh has a dot that ticks harder than basically every ability i have short of tempest that is basically passive
i wish dh attacks did actual damage (not blade dance hitting for 4m randomly, but everything else) and they didn’t just get a handicap of 1m dps passively for zoning in
fwiw enh feels pretty good right now
i’m a bit bias because i enjoy stormstrike and this pacing lets us feel lethal without the control/passive damage specs like feral/assa/dh ect bring that generally make them lightyears better than us
i think they’ll probably nerf ascendance then piss out some lash buff so we can spend another season living or dying on 120-0ing someone with primal storm while doing nothing else between like the last couple seasons

Ya. Top end stuff seems crazy high. I got back-to-back bolted in a coil for 4.4million chaos bolts (no infernal) in 1.1seconds.
Ya. My average starsurge during CDs is 1.5mil-ish. My avg normal starsurge is 8-900k. Soulrend is ticking for 1.1mil on average?!?! Oh, and I saw a 5 mil sigil of spite.
Yeah, that’s what I was getting at. I swear 90% of the specs that all seem insane (which is all of them) feel WAY less insane if/when the game slows down.

6m aimed shot into 11m black arrow is totally fair and balanced and the people who hate it just want BfA pacing back!!! (Kidding, remove this cancer)
Ticks harder than spriest dots for the most part unless I have a quadruple stack devouring plague with every button pressed.
The dot application also slows, fires three times from each blade dance minimum, and can be applied from range too.
We hate current DH design in this house.
I had a Destro lock get so upset I didn’t want to fight him in the open that he was whispering me because I sat on pillar in Tol’vir. Back to back 0.6s cast 6m bolts feels almost BfA Destro levels of gross. Thank goodness it’s slightly harder to get off than that expansion.
I get murdered through even dispersion now depending on the class, with heals being pumped into me.
It feels like since last season some classes are doing 2x the damage they did, then others are doing 4x and it’s just gross. If they were brought down to like even 3x the game would be manageable.
We’ll see how this progresses with gear but I think more people having 4set is going to exacerbate the issue, and we also get weapon this week which will speed things up even more.

Agree. I’m watching my Destro stocks rise with every tuning pass that doesn’t include them. Also the stam buffs are welcome.
Boomys should just play elunes instead. Better for everyone. Cooler too.
Nah arcane being able to hump pillars whilst doing the most damage is a no bueno. We need to get away from this playstyle.
I love how nobody in this thread is talking about how disgustingly broken kickweaver is.
Im really relieved if i q into an ele or warr or warlock cuz you know its a free win
Drop us a 3v3 tier list Bubble. I’m interested in seeing your take on the current meta.
