Season of Discovery Class Tuning Incoming - March 5

I just can’t tell if you are trolling or not man.

  • Warlock
    • Grimoire of Synergy now increases damage done by the Warlock and their pet by 25% when it is active (was 5%).

So Affliction warlock playable with this change or no?

Interesting to see Grimoire of Synergy buffs instead of Shadowflame, but nice to see the very underwhelming p2 Warlock runes being looked at.

Warrior tank is absolute garbage right now, oh thanks our devastate is going to do an extra 15.5 damage now based on a 31.1 dps epic weapon right now… Even at 5 stacks it will only being doing 62.2 damage with an epic 1h. We cant build it with slow weapons to help pump, and are stuck with the here use daggers as a warrior and like it mentality for tanks. If we wanted daggers and tanking we’d play rogues. Give us the slow weapons and big devastates back. I know you guys are timid and a little scared when it comes to this class but its a joke right now. We are currently 1 of 2 plate wearers but number 2 in damage taken across fights and our threat generation is an absolute joke because of what has been done to devastate. You have no problem buffing mages and hunters into the stratosphere, I just want to be able to play my class this phase.

Best Regards,

Warriors

Wonderful change for prot warriors!! I think it’s a step in the right direction, and the numbers on your end can determine if it’s enough. I’ll take what I can get, especially since Shamans aren’t being buffed for once.

I would like to humbly provide one additional piece of feedback - Please add a weapon speed modulator to the devastate rune that normalizes Devastate damage so that I won’t have to compete with my friends for the Arcano-Shredder when I’m the only person in our raid that could use the Electrocutioner’s Needle.

I’d actually just suggest you make the Devastate rune set whatever weapon you are using to a 2.0 speed and keep the same dps, you could balance it without making it too strong on a slow weapon.

Thank you!

Can we still address restoration Shaman? Not even one in the top 500 on logs yet you buff mage healing!?

Yes Light Club Discord told you that this ability is meant to be a protection ability but requires you to be in the holy tree for Seal of Righteousness. I believe the protection tree is what is supposed to be used if you are a protection paladin. Bad design by Blizzard to make protection paladins not specced in protection tree. :joy:

Multiple threads and posts filled with suggestions and this is all you have for Warriors?

Shadowflame Rune is the one that needs buffing…

Ah yes complain about shamans when we are slowly becoming not bottom of the pack… Just try to enjoy your class instead of being spiteful about anyone that is above you in the meters… Which is actually everyone LOL

pssst, Divine Storm should also deal Holy damage. :eyes:

I think it was to get mage healers to stop fighting for damage and healing gear and instead going for “healing” pieces. I think.

Are you for real? For gods sake feral dps needs a buff. I’m tired of the devs just ignoring specific classes and not giving them their time in the sun. Feral DPS, Elemental shaman, Frost mage. At least frost is getting a buff, and maybe spellfrost will see play, but what the hell man? You guys seriously going to pretend that feral dps is in a good spot? Thank you for the love on feral tanking, but still FERAL HAS A DPS SPEC.

“Yeah I think I’ll choose to use Poisoned Knife over Shadowstep in pvp.” - Said absolutely no rogue ever.

Great now we can kite mobs indefinitely. Was this designed to be the rune tanks rogues will ranged pull bosses with? Oh wait Shuriken Toss is literally in the same slot! Oh wait Shuriken Toss is also a horrible ability, that hardly gives us enough threat to hold off healing threat. We already had shiv as a rune, and for whatever reason they decided to give us “Ranged Shiv.”

Imagine pulling a boss and not having your first two GCDs be anything other than Mutilate > Mutilate, you’ll have threat ripped from you immediately if you’re in a guild with someone who pumps.

100% Agreed. The team working on Rogue feels extremely lost. Thanks for the buff on Main Gauche I guess? What are we supposed to be expected to spam Sinister Strike for the next 19 GCDs? Meanwhile Mutilate will generate nearly double the combo points in that amount of time and generate far more threat.

Alright since I can’t tell if you are trolling or not.

  1. Most Prot pally’s are probably running consecration already which is aoe threat.
  2. You don’t need DS for boss fights unless you are tanking multiple adds and even then SoM is still conparable to DS for AoE fights if running consecration
  3. Holy damage is what our threat is based off of, DS does no holy damage and SoM is all holy damage.
  4. Taking 10% damage from the seal actually synergizes with our glove rune and we get more mana back.
  5. SoM can proc AoW which is even more threat and it has a chance to proc on every swing. Righeousness can not proc AoW and Command only procs 10PPM which gives you less chances to proc AoW

Overall this is a massive buff for prot paly, especially ones running consecration because Seal of Righteousness talent is on the way to the Consecration talent.

Ranged hunters need a lot more than that. They need proper scaling, or they will just keep getting worse as gear gets better.

What about casters gobbling people in pvp

Prot warrior don’t spec into deep prot either, what’s your point.

All three of my classes pretty much at bottom tier. Rogue, Feral, Ret.

Maybe I’ll just give in and level a priest or mage instead.

Shhh, don’t tell blizzard the truth about hunters, they will nerf hunters in retaliation.

Seal of Martyrdom is not even a rune that most people enjoy because it takes away from using Divine Storm. And quit replying to me lil bro, I already put you on ignore.
