What’s with all these people joining a seasonal server with the main draw being new meme specs and then being upset when anyone wants to play something that isn’t one of the 3 viable specs in vanilla.

simple if you wanna play Melee hunter go play retail that doesnt belong on anything classic related.
Only if we get phase 2 melee back without the nerfs.
I understand how the game works just fine and how my class works as well. If you go on the classic druid discord, these changes have been mentioned multiple times as a way to fix scaling. Sounds like you’re mad and want to throw out insults instead of discuss anything. You are part of the problem with toxicity like this. #LTakes
Lol the druid discord is loko then.
What this means is baseline druids will be max hit. This isn’t a scaling fix this is just removing druids from needing hit.
This is literally just adding an insane amount of spell power lol.
This is the only one that sounds reasonable.
This is like me saying, I know how to fix mage mana in AOE, everyone I hit with flamestrike gets living bomb applied. That will fix my mana issues immediately. But its done in the most absurd way possible.
These are ideas, the numbers definitely would be tweaked. The problem with balance druid is we are probably one of the, if not the worst scaling spec. I am offering ideas and honestly you could implement these changes as they are and we’d be somewhere in the middle of the pack.
The SP would be around 115 and about 12% hit, so defintely lower the hit to like 5-6% from talents or stats but adding 100 extra spell power would not sky rocket us to the top of the charts. Our max rank spells are already gimp compared to other caster’s max rank spells. Plus most our spells wouldn’t get 115 sp instantly input into them due to the sp coefficients.
We just want the spec to feel good somewhere in the middle of the pack, with a couple fights that we could excel in with our current toolkit. It’s not a competition on who gets what or fixed first. I just feel like all the specs should have their time to pump and should always feel fun. Every week since the launch of phase 4, balance falls more and more behind. That’s a fact with numbers to back it up. The tank specs are right behind us and the Rogue tank actually passed us in overall damage at the Max %.
It would be 132sp with current bis, but this would obviously change bis. It would also change the foundation of gear design for future patches. Its a bad fix. It would be better to change coefficients themselves.

Very happy with the immolation change, make it much more desirable thank you.
Shamans get a buff.
Paladins get a nerf.
Yep, Blizzard devs strike again. How about boosting Paladin damage so they aren’t dead last?

I almost never post on the forums, but after 3 weeks of phase 4, I just can’t anymore. We have specs 2 shotting people in world pvp on instant 30+ yard range globals, specs that pasively heal more than town guards can hit them for and ganking peop[le in high level areas, and specs topping DPS meeters in raids that are brain dead simple…
We have classes that a dumbster garbage in PVP, even worse in raids, battlegrounds that are empty. I know SOD was to discover new ways to play classic, but no one wants to be 2 shot in PVP, especially 30 yards out. and no one wants to do HALF as much damage with equivilent gear as other specs in raids. We players arnt asking fo much, but seriously every DPS should be viable and be relative to one another, and in PVP skill should be the highlight, not two globals…
Game is not fun if its not competative and clearly Hunters and Shamans are the golden child for SOD… name a phase where they didnt shine??? Blizz you realize you have other classes that are BEGGING for adjustments.
Alliance racials were given to Horde and any raiding advantage they might have had are completely stripped from them, where as Shaman buff horde SO much that no one on Alliance can even parse… Balance the game or honestly game will be dead before Naxx comes out. No one enjoys an unbalanced game.

bbs code issue: Warlock should be under the same sublist with shaman instead of now showed as a sub shaman move “shamanistic rage”, similarily for “Warlock pets” change to “Developers’ notes”.
<3
The only thing I’m worried about is the constant nerf to Rogue’s, I don’t play one but many of my guilds rogues are either gonna be quitting this version of WOW, or completely try to switch classes. Which really sucks since they are the only class that is giving that 10% increase to spell damage from the poison they stack. I’m all about balancing but we have to be careful about massive nerfs. Thanks for all the hard work.

also, I thought the Spriest T1 6 bonus nerf was also applied. but have not been listed?
You forgot to make the change where Blessing of Might adds to ranged attack power like it should.
I havent commented yet but have to now. Played the whole time but might be done. Warrior main and at every aspect of the game there is someone better. Dps trash pvp trash. Devs must be hunters and shamens. With no buffs most tanks can do more damage. I am honestly not enjoying the game
Warlocks do too
