not sure how well the buffs’ll offset the nerf, but i welcome the idea here, SWD being a frontload of our damage is both unhealthy in PVP and makes PVEing somewhat annoying, especially when you add an armor set that cuts our stamina by a mega-ton while adding more damage to that backlash, so frankly… good idea
Thanks for not just sledgehammering without thought on it, cheers
Swipe change is perfect, the berserk change is very weird. Cleaving lacerate is just worse than cleaving mangle so people are still gonna rune swap to tank trash. This change effectively does nothing. The change we need and the change every bear player wants is for lacerate to be moved to the leg slot. If you do that berserk also becomes usable on single target instead of only being a cleave cooldown.
i didnt play much in phase one. basically got my 3 characters to 25 and played very casually. sadly because of this i hit 40 and was sad to see i was 60g short of my mount lol. other then that im having fun so far…
I’ll keep saying it; this is SoD so how about you dev’s discover making big changes and making any simple quality of life changes. Not this 10% buff nerf trash to one class every week that could be a hotfix. “WoW Classic servers have only been out for a couple years, can’t imagine what we’ll do to fix classics and the game out” oh yeah let’s throw in some garbage 2 second thinking world pvp event. Just like every expansion that’s came out in the last 10 years.
Yeah, this isn’t your personal little plaything that you can demand attention from the devs about all the time. There’s more to the game than balancing specs at level 40. We’re not at endgame yet.
You even play the game yet at level 25? Have you played classic through dragon flight? They wont change no matter how much you white knight for them. They should try new things just like you and be opinionated
Perhaps whatever testing they did was completed first for Paladin, and the others are undergoing further testing. Guess they could just wait to release all at once though.
Not sure what it is, but Starfire isn’t benefitting from one of the cast speed increases. Nature’s Grace + Eclipse and its still like a what… 2.5 cast? Maybe its a 1.5 cast and it just feels like its forever, but I think it’ll always be terrible compared to the 3-4 wraths you can get off in the same window, not to mention the 20% increased nature debuff.
I don’t know whos in charge of druid balance runes, but they clearly are not playing balance, they don’t work together very well, and every change seems to alienate some part of the rotation.
I’ve been suspended 3 times in a row from these forums for a lot less. He’s deliberately trying to instigate an argument with me in the vain attempt that I’ll say something reportable so he can report me and get me suspended. How do I know this? Because Over the last full year I’ve been suspended 5 times, and every single time was because of somebody like him. You’re free to pretend like he’s not in the wrong, but YOU know he’s deliberately being toxic, I know he’s deliberately being toxic, HE knows he’s deliberately being toxic, yet somehow I’M the toxic one because I’m done tolerating it. Okay.
On topic however, I’m glad Druids got nerfed like they did. Druids from TBC onwards have been on top. It’s about time they spend a little bit of time too down here in the dirt with us.
