Season of Discovery Class Tuning - January 11

Multiboxing bad, boosting good ~ blizzard 2024

Im refering to later phases. I have said multiple times that the lack of scaling is hunters main issue.

It is called P2

STOP with the nerfs AND GIVE US something to WORK WITH it HURTS.

So tired of this crap. Constantly nerfing hunter and now you do the same for priest. ā€œpriest healing is too goodā€ Like WTF kind of dumb comment is thatā€¦the class is SUPPOSED to be top healer as that is EXACTLY what the name of the class IS. Instead you want to nerf them down to the HYBRID classes. what a crock of SH^t. Hunter went from #1 dps down to middle of the pack. You keep nerfing them. bad enough EVERY other class only needs to get close and it negates ALL of the hunters dmg leaving the pet to do the job. give us NO DEAD RANGE. Makes ZERO SENSE that you want to say a GUN cant shoot you if you are too close. like Who TF would be dumb enough to buy that crap. Next time you see a person with a gun trying to shoot YOU how about YOU get closer and tell us how that works out for you. Seriously some of the things you devs think of are ridiculous.

The simple fix would have been to just flat 33% dmg nerf pets when attacking another player, this would have left raid damage the same.

Stop gimping hunter damage in raids because of open world pvp. This is what happened in Vanilla for hunters cause we burst too hard in pvp at 60, thus our dmg was the lowest for physical dps in raids. Please donā€™t just do the same ol stuff.

Nothing makes me quit faster than different values for PvP vs. PvE

So youd rather a class get nerfed for over world pvpā€¦ and it also massively then affects their raid damage>?

Guess you should quit with the WSG changes.

For sure, PvE isnā€™t hard. Who cares about your parseā€¦ Besides, you can balance both to where they equalize. Different values for PvP vs PvE is just lazy and a bad band-aid fix.

Or just not play WSG? That was a terrible decision on their part.

Riiiight so thatā€™s why basically every modern MMO that has PVP balances like this

No modern MMO is good so I donā€™t get where youā€™re going with this

Ahhh ok, so just be a 3rd wheel dps cause this guy says raiding doesnt matter. Gotcha.

Has anyone tested raid damage using the slightly rebuffed Chimera or explosive shot and compared to BM damage before this nerf? Iā€™m curious how much of a DPS loss there is there. It looks like BM hunters are mid tier now after the WB nerf and this nerf, which is unfortunate given the assumptions that their scaling will be worse than other classes that are already out-dpsā€™ing them nowā€¦

This has been my experience as well raiding post nerf. Penance feels significantly weaker, and flash healing is extremely mana inefficient. With penance nerfed, the first heal from it isnā€™t big enough to give the second heal time to get to the target during big burst damage. Thatā€™s even with 100+ healing, not sure what it would be like on a less geared priest.

Itā€™s hard not to be concerned as a priest player when you provide the lowest damage as a healer, your dps spec is bottom of the barrel, and the only reliable tools you have to avoid mana inefficient plays have been hurt for PVP purposes.

Thereā€™s ways to balance bothā€¦ if they would have buffed Sniper Training it could have easily made up for the lost damage from pet without affecting PvP.

Buff hunter abilities? LOL thats not how this SoD team operates. People would lose their !@#$ if hunter got a buff. Keep nerfing till were bottom dps like vanilla.

Itā€™s phase 1 man, pets were obviously way over-tuned. Doesnā€™t mean they wonā€™t buff other things.

And pets will be overtuned next phase as well. Your point? Constant nerfs feel bad, and hurts raiding for the reasons of " blargh hunter pet hurt me in ashenvale"
