All those abilities are most likely going to be slaughtered as well.
Are you just mad that Starsurge was at the front of the line?

Read above post and don’t make assumptions.
I get fixing the bug, but is there a reason why you didn’t leave the base damage as is in PvE and give the spell a PvP modifier?
Stop caring how others play the game. No one comlains that hunters can solo 99% world content
You can’t tell that it will until the fix goes live and we see the meters.
Isn’t that an assumption you’re making yourself?
Ope everybody jump through and hold cloak!!!
No brother they are unplayable.
They dont scale.
Warriors will be 1
Rogues 2
Balance will not be invited to anything… all you guys did was take away my favorite spec and leave me going back to mage.
Congrats you ruined the spec.
Great victory on your part.

I can do math and know that we already struggle with mana as it is with the few times we cast starfire now. This is basically forcing us to cast starfire every 6 seconds which is unsustainable.

the assumption is based on experience.
Druids dont scale
We dont have gear like mages and locks
I bet you 10$ you will never see “Need more for Gnomer 1 balance druid”
I think it’s them using simple arithmetic. I can send you hooked on phonics if you need.
I can agree they should probably add a mana reduction for Starfire on Eclipse.
This should have been bugfixes with reassessment. Fix the spell power coefficient, and fix starsurge double dipping in eclipse. As well as eclipse actually giving spell pushback protection. From there they should have watched it closely and applied nerfs if still necessary.
Define good? I turned in 3 filled green boxes and got less than 1k exp each last night (heavy hide, soothing turtle bisque and rockscale cod) which took me like 2 hours to farm up because of how overfarmed the current world mobs are. I could get that same exp in the first half of SM GY in 5 minutes with an incompetent group. 3 with a competent one. Not to mention how much gold I’d have made selling those mats. Don’t get me wrong I like that we get something for it now, but it’s woefully insufficient considering the boxes aren’t even that common. I had those 3 boxes after nights of playing.

Kind of get why they had to nerf starsurge because the original phase 1 buff concentrated way too much of our damage in that one instant cast spell.
But yeah linking the mitigation change to starfire is just wrong.
Would have been better if starsurge gave the caster a buff for +XX spellpower for the next two casts within 5.5 seconds, or something like that. So the offset transfers to a more flexible range of spells but still spread out.
Okay, but you just took a ton of stamina off of caster gear to give them spell power.
You’ve now made stamina effectively worth 30% more in this event but you removed it from caster gear so now casters are relatively more squishy than they would be normally at this level. Either that or they don’t do enough damage to kill things because they stack of the eagle gear.
The druid gear literally had more spell power on it than the cloth gear in BFD
SoD has been adding brand new loot
You have zero idea what druid gear is going to look like In future phases.
Lol… If you’re getting one shot, you’re the problem, not the other player.

Buff shadow step so it’s off gcd.
I’m trying to be a young pikaboo and step kick but almost impossible on the gcd.

This is such a disappointing change to see. Every single class is one shotting in PVP and you chose to only address Boomkins? Not only do you nerf our damage by THIRTY PERCENT, but you completely ignore the fact that Eclipse pushback protection isn’t functioning at all?
Meanwhile, hunters, rogues, spriests, shaman are all also WAY over tuned but they get no nerfs? And we can’t even sit here and pretend like this is PVE balancing when Boomies are 4th in average DPS and 5th in top end DPS. Where is the logic here?

I thought something was a little off when I got hit by an 1100 dmg crit from an insta cast ranged spell with a 2 second CD lol
