Season of Discovery Class Tuning - January 11

Cherry picked? Dude I literally based it off the overall.
It’s you who is like “well if you exclude this group, oh and if you change these parameters…”
Pot meet kettle friend.

What you are suggesting is quite literally “cherry picking data” :sweat_smile:

If you want power creep, Diablo 3 is this way →

Except it is not. Overall including data pre 5 nerfs is not proving anything. If you want to be accurate, you take freshest data only. That is also more relevant to check dams charts with actual gear, because one of the reason Hunter in SOD do zero damage with no pet, is that it has a very bad scaling, unlike War that is god tier scaling for example.

Not happy about the BM nerf, but can you guys please consider putting Chimera shot back to 125%? It was never OP or overperforming.

Hunter nerf fatigue setting in. The only pure DPS class doesn’t even do the most damage in PvE. I understand toning down certain aspects in a PvP setting but come on. Instead of constantly nerfing hunters, how about buffing other classes? It doesn’t feel good constantly being nerfed from a player perspective.

Swap Aspect of the Lion to a leg rune and buff Lone Wolf. Toss Serpent Spread (meme rune) and add a pet-based rune to chest.

Or delete the hunter class all together. Continued nerfs will have the same effect as you drive players away.

agreed… sorry, but priests give up a lot to be able to be the best heals… cloth armor, slow travel speed, etc…

hahah more tears! oh noo my idiot pet talents nerfed = hunters nerfed - thats wrong, try to read shots buffs and prepare urself to use abilities instead of clicking “Pet attack”

I think the main issue is trying to balance classes that are played both pve and pvp.
If a class is op in pvp and fine in pve they should only balance pvp combat. It cant be complicated, they already do that in retail.

I play hunter BM but i dont pvp at all, so why are they nerfing my gameplay, while other classes are outperforming me already in pve?

Uhm hello shaman dps here, actually in last on both specs.

So you have two average dps classes with loads of utility including totems and off healing , a designated healing spec, and tank spec… must be hard having a class that has variability in gameplay

Both classes are 20% below the average… below the average… standard deviations away from the mean. They aren’t average, want a chart ?

Crazy how people say that but paladin and Druid can do the same thing and out perform shaman. The delusion is high .

The fact that you continuously nerf hunters instead of buffing other classes is hilarious. Not really it actually ticks me off as someone who loves playing hunter in SoD. Stop doing annoying things. Thanks.

If only Blizz had more time and funding, They could implement some kind of highly advanced and novel system that nerfs hunter pets in pvp. But what platform has ever had something so advanced as to alter damage inside instanced pvp? I strongly doubt it exists, otherwise Blizzard would have just done that. Anyway, It’s much easier and cheaper for them to do it this way; with multiple sweeping nerfs. It’s important for them to spend as little money as possible and work as little hours as they can so they can invest our money in highly intelligent people to plan fun office parties!

WoW has never been balanced around 1v1 engagements. Ever. 1v1 isn’t an expression of any skill whatsoever. That’s why every time there’s a dueling tournament in classic, everyone that wins plays warlock.

People should just be happy Blizzard is being pro-active.

Yeah dude. Lets just take a 20% stat reduction on self, and 10% on everyone else for +5 weapon damage. Amazing! Lone wolf is so bad, that even if other hunters are using aspect of lion, aspect of lion is still best in slot for the extra 10%.
