thats it… really? haha
why not just make flame tongue totem give the entire party spell power.
this would help boost casters a little and help bring them up to par with melee

So we are still nerfing hunters?

This is so dumb man. Melee hunters aren’t even the top dps. Rogues and warriors passing them by. So what if they do damage for one phase. Why don’t you focus on a deeper rotation instead of lazily throwing nerfs at BM. You do this every phase until hunters barely fall out of top 5 dps. Just say you want people to play range hunter and stop adding melee runes if you’re just gonna walk them all back. Horrible decision. Horrible.

Those hunter nerfs look big considering pets and raptor strike are what, 70% of damage output?
Any hunters do the math?

Melee hunters lose 6 or 7 percent of their dps, bring on the tears

Rogues weren’t passing melee hunters on the dps meters lol. Maybe after the nerfs we will though. Warriors really only start to come online after they scale and even then most of the dps comes from execute phase. We’re ok with warriors being #1 in raids because they’re doodoo in pvp.
Melee hunters rotation is literally 1 button lol, makes sense for them not to be #1. Low floor, low ceiling.
On a few of the bosses rogues were.

That’s it lol
Melee Hunters will be fine. These are both nerfs to bonus damage, not core abilities. So at max stacks, raptor strike will do 150% dmg now instead of 175% dmg. Pets will do like 26% of a hunter’s damage instead of 30%.
Let me do the real warlock buffs for you
Conflag no longer consumes immolate
Lake of fire change reverted

Pretty sure pet damage will still be 30% of hunter’s damage, if not more of it, since Raptor strike also getting nerf.
These changes to affliction locks are hardly noticeable. The amount of cast time you spend per cast on DoTs and the limit to one curse per lock is whats the issue. How about adjusting one of the runes to allow warlocks to throw on more than one curse on a target? That way we can use both agony and ele/reck/shadow? At least itll be a start in the right direction.
Just a reminder Balance Druid and Shadow Priest are still as bad (if not worse in the case of Spriest) as Elemental before these changes, can you at least tell us if you plan on ever making these classes competitive (at least not significantly below average).
At this stage I’ve given up and am no longer interested in SoD due to the neglect.
The only thing that can keep me at this stage is actual confirmation I’m not wasting my time, I’m done just holding onto hope that something will change.
Also great that Munter is getting a tune down, but Rogue, Warrior, and Enhance are all still up there ahead of the pack. They were almost as significantly far ahead as Munter were and yet no adjustments?

Lazy is all these people are now. I try not to be so crass, but its just bad at this point.
An entire raid tier filled with 90% terrible blues that arent worth anything.
Horrible set bonuses for a ton of classes.
A terrible PVP DR aura that we still havent seen a single official comment on, despite what appears to be largely negative feedback across multiple social platforms.
Commiting to making adjustments, then taking an entire week to make 3 percent based changes to classes and a couple of rune fixes. We expect more here. I understand you guys are terrified of making “sweeping big changes”, but this is the best you can do?! I refuse to believe that.
I commend you for opening some server transfers, but even that was handled poorly overall.
The team moved much faster in phase one and some of phase 2, but since the second half of phase 2 and the release of phase 3, there has just been this gigantic feeling that SOD is now on backburner / does not have the same resources it once did to keep it interesting. And there is no denying that.

Why the heck are you nerfing BM rune at the same time!? Not even going to test the Raptor Fury Nerf first? Why both?

Lame. That was the stupidest meta I’ve seen in any game ever.

The reaction from the Warlock discord is hilarious. I’ve never seen that class so disappointed. Oh well, no point in raiding for the rest of this phase. We can go into praying that we might not be useless as DPS next phase.
