Season of Discovery Class Tuning Incoming - December 12

L2 read. His resistance was lowered for both shadow and arcane. As were resitances of the preist. And the resistances of other boss’s.

It’s not a nerf. You can now use any pets, they will all deal “similar” damage and one of them won’t be 300% higher than all the rest… This is a no brainer.

Moreover, you can now use aspect of the hawk, assuming you’re BM, that’s a massive bonus to your dps right there with imp. aspect talent.

Test it before complaining, hunters are in a better spot than they ever were in SoD.

Can…can we make it not constantly flip flop when you have multiple hunters so our HP is never actually full?

That’s what they’re trying to do.

They did not succeed

This much is obvious.

So a paladin who isnt even targeting me is hitting me for 300 with divine storm while my ambush if it doesnt miss and can only be used once from stealth with a strict positional requirement is hitting for roughly the same. Maybe look into that? Feels kinda rough. Also I"m specc’d fully into ambushing and have meteor shard. QQ…Hunter nerf feels good…homonculi are now killing me though haha…I believe the Devs will get us somewhere confortable…not asking for perfect balance…but some things are definitely a little wonky.

im a hunter and i want scorpids nerfed. i dont want to be forced to use a pet just to be competitive on parses. also id prefer to see less hunters out there because they are just meta fotm losers

What are you on about warriors top every raid alliance side

Casters need to be looked at

Scorpid Poison is not ramping up with stacks at all. The damage has been completely neutered and isn’t scaling at all. Shame. Scorpions finally got some love and now they’re back to being garbage pets.

IMHO Druids feral do not need a huge nerf, at most I coul see an small cd/reduced dmg on Sunfire for cat.
They only specifically beat warriors when they spec with 30% mov speed+Sunfire, otherwise they are pretty much dead, this is more of a mechanic counter (like cof cof mages kitting you forever) than a overpowered dmg based thing like hunters or warlock have right now

The Classic Andy’s can’t stand balancing. They want their broken game every time.

Maybe I’m a cave man, but … couldn’t they just add some potion or scroll or something that drops from trash in BFD that only works in BFD that gives spell hit… like the potions in TBC that only worked in the netherstorm instances? That seems like a more workable solution than relying on a world buff.

I guess it doesn’t matter all that much to me though, I’ve abandoned the mage because I didn’t enjoy the healing and nobody wants a dps that is gimped on the end boss. Requiring a world buff isn’t going to change that… too much risk. We’ll undoubtedly see posts of casters getting booted from pugs if they die once.

  1. Thanks for this! Its great!
  2. Not that respec cost is really racking up that much this early in, but when you do changes that will most likely make it so people would want to change their spent talent points, maybe… I dunno, reset our talent trees? :pleading_face:
    Prior to Lion rune being made an aura we did not “waste” points into Improved Aspect of the Hawk, since we would not be using that Aspect. With this change, we can and will, and as such will want to spec into it.

buff quick strike for warriors

Let’s make quick strike for ALL warrior weapons not just two-handers…

Warrior damage is fine, I just want Victory Rush to not be worthless past level 15…imagine being able to fight more than one mob in a row before having to stop to eat

So here we are again… Blizzard listened to all of your complaints about nerfing this and that. Now you’re complaining you character needs to be buffed… you can’t please everyone… Blizzard stop listening to anyone saying they’ll leave if something isn’t corrected. Do what you intended on doing and leave it alone. Sure there’s things I don’t like about what has been done. But I’m not complaining… roll with the punches and move on.

Meh, I still feel weaker than most other casters. I think shadow priest buff with additional shadow talents and shadow form will be stronger come next phase.

As long as balance is somewhat viable in pvp I’m happy and it definitely feels more fluid with the changes. We still oom incredibly quickly by changing forms and healing. This does make star surge more “potent and accessible” as blizzard stated though.
