Season of Discovery Class Tuning Incoming - April 30

After so much time, this is what SOD team came up with?

There are so many classes that need fixing, and the number one thing that came to Blizz;s mind was making Shaman more enjoyable, the most OP classes for two phases.

Just give Alliance Shamans, i want switch to Shamans immediately.

Shaman gets a very uneven amount of attention when compared to every other class. Very odd.

Instead of Nerfing Melle Hunters, why not just Buff Ranged Hunters?

Hunter is the only SOD class that is 100% DPS and has no other roles, let them have two really good specs and let them play how they want to play!

Why nerf something that doesn’t need to be nerfed?

Please make Invocation rune and Everlasting Affliction runes proc each other.

Also allow Shadowflame DOT to crit with Pandemic rune.

Kthxbye

Can Blizz please explain why this was necessary?

Why bring melee and ranged dps in line,

ranged brings utility that melee doesnt, So if this leads to dps being similar between melee and ranged it will defeat the point in bringing a melee hunter at all.

They deserved to be top dps by virtue of being purely output and able to contribute absolutely nothing else.

Putting warriors(who can actually kick) back on top is a great idea. /s

Because it was a 2 button rotation that was doing way too much dps?

This is classic bro. Hell fire mage was topping Ph2 and that was basically a 2 button spec.

Come on buddy, lets be honest here. It was way too much dps for practically spamming one button.

?

Can you read buddy? That isnt the issue. Its that they bring nothing else.
Not to mention, Mhunter is already terrible in pvp and open world.

For Clarification. Is the Flametongue weapon Spell Power, or Spell Damage? It says spell power in the notes but a few times its’ come into the game as Spell Damage.

Wondering because If it’s spell power might be a small little bonus to restoration shamans too.

Can we get a class tuning focus on healers? The healer meta has been exactly the same all of sod with Priests being the top pve and pvp the entire season.

Fun fact, all classes do equal dps when dead…

You even describe that there is an issue in your statement with the magnitude difference between the classes when buffed.

Sorry that I think there should be some equality amongst classes, or am I supposed to politely request that all the melee dps stop using world buffs or consumes?
Maybe I deliberately wipe them so they lose their buffs and are on equal footing?

What are you suggesting? I just be content being significantly less valuable to my guild?

100%

Fun fact, there are 8 other classes in the game and it’s not just a question of munter vs runter.

It’s cool hunters don’t scale so they get nerfed into the ground every phase after being strong at the start.

This is very fun.

Edit: Think we drop any melee hunter for a war going forward in any speedrun comp. It was already arguable to do that already.

Can we get Phase 4 already.

My brother I know using your brain is hard but this is a dragonflight character lmao. But hey huge shoutout to warriors being able to top dps with the perfect comp and their 30 minute cooldown available.

it is a worthless buff and nothing will change since knowledge is still the rune to go with…

Yeah this kind of seems like they are using filler just to say they did something for warlock.

Cool! You modified these runes to do what they should have always been doing. Can you do a real QoL change like fixing the Imp AI so that it actually makes full use of the Improved Firebolt talent? It’s kind of ridiculous I need to either create a macro for every single one of my abilities that tells my Imp to cast Firebolt or make a macro that exclusively tells my Imp to cast Firebolt and keybind it to my mouse wheel.

They have to be really cautious at this point in time being so close to end game runes there are reasons certain buffs aren’t happening. Enjoy and relax how it is and play how you wish. My feral pvp is crap and ele might not be slightly ahead of tanks on adjusted boss fight logs.
