Season of Discovery Class Tuning - January 11

Lets keep trying to balance the game for pve and pvp at the same time, because that totally worked in the past

That is literally

not what the blue just said.

because u arent controlling the npc. you do ctrl+1 and go afk while the wind serpent deals higher burst dmg than any other class in the game, it has insane range. It is faster than swiftness potions. doesnt use mana.

it is so disgusting. Nobody in their right mind can deffend this playstyle.

Meanwhile Bm hunter are totaly useless when the pet is cc :rofl: The lack of common sense is insane from the devs. The only people complaining about pet hunter are just bad in pvp.

No one says that on retail where Marksman hunters cheese out one shots.

Hunters always get the sh* end of the stick because itā€™s a pet class, happens in retail, happens in Classic, happens in SoD. Iā€™d suggest any Hunter player have a backup class to play that wonā€™t be gutted when itā€™s mediocre.

Iā€™m on a PvE server and I donā€™t PvP. I donā€™t care how strong wind serpent is in PvP, and I like Beast Mastery Hunter. Itā€™s demoralizing to see changes only based on one aspect of the game.

Beast Mastery was already outclassed by MM/Melee Weave by the best hunters. But that melee weave playstyle is not afk at all. Itā€™s not fun to play unless you are turbo sweaty.

So how does that change the EotB game play you are complaining about? This is a major nerf to a class that is already struggling against other DPS classes while being the only pure DPS class in the game.

Yeah, yet itā€™s the hunters that are a ā€œproblemā€.

ok? And so what?

You dont hear me crying that destruction is better than demonology for my warlock? I know that some builds are for pvp, some are for leveling/solo pve. and some are for raiding pve.

that is how classic wow works. If you dont like it go to retail

My warrior is almost 21.

Average HPS (WCL)
Priest 74.12
Druid 72.86
Paladin 69.67
Shaman 69.36
Mage 62.77
Priest* 59.30

*-20% from previous standings.

Average DPS (WCL)
Mage 68.48
Druid 49.31
Priest 16.90
Shaman 8.11
Paladin 2.85

So, youā€™re taking the best healer, which on average was only 5 points higher than 3/4 of the other healing classes, and you dropped them to what could easily be last.

So, instead of BUFFING regen/mass regenā€¦ you nerf Priests into the ground. WILD.

Do these devs even play this game? Priest didnā€™t need a nerf, mages need a buff, everything else was fine.

Oh, wow. More hunter nerfs. Not surprised; going to be at least three more hunter tuning cough cough nerfs before phase 2.

If weā€™re doing some hunter updates then Iā€™d love to see a little buff to Lone Wolf, as itā€™s not really competitive with Master Marksman at the moment.

So I shouldnā€™t come into Season of DISCOVERY expecting to DISCOVER a new way to play?

I should just assume that Iā€™ll be a marksman turret in raids because PVPā€™ers canā€™t handle being outclassed by an NPC?

Beast Mastery should be useless?

And I donā€™t think Demonology will be useless. It could get a new rune or two, and most of the best talents are further down the tree.

Thatā€™s the funny thing about language and communication. It doesnā€™t always matter what specifically or exactly is said word for word, what matters is what they mean.

And what they mean is pretty evident.

why is classic getting more consistent tuning than retail?

theres no way youā€™re serious

Also how about we fix multiple Living Flames on a single target before we keep doing nerfs. How about that? How about we fix classes before burying others? Kthanxbai.
