Its not their game this is the original dev’s baby. Sod team just dissolved all of the careful choices original devs made. Thats why we have a balancing nightmare. Sod trash wait for fresh classic or cata
Hunter buffs for tomorrow.
Serpent spread now lasts for 7 seconds (still does its damage every 3 seconds so damage is unchanged)
I would honestly not be suprised if they did this at this point and they would think its an actual buff lol.

So are we to expect a massive shaman nerf and a huge apology tomorrow? Maybe even a honor buff for every non shaman class?
Nah, just wait til phase 3 where they don’t play test anything and their first communication regarding balance fixes being “phase 4 is around the corner anyway, it would make no sense to change anything now”

Buff Boomkins… like come on, literally if those runes for bracers and helm come out Boomkins are going to be such underdogs in damage. Please amplify their capabilities.
Buff Boomkins!!! Our runes are trash for lvl 50, and it is very unfortunate. Not asking for us to be number 1 dps, just asking to be relevant again!
Can the rune announcement be an april fools joke, please? It all looks very mid.
Please buff living flame. Take 30 minutes for it to reach target.
Make it a 0.75 second cast and it spawns on the target.
This only makes it not useable while moving since its cast will be shorter than the gcd. And it is susceptible to pushback so there is more skill in when to use it.
Aka nerf for pvp, buff for pve.

Season of Discovery
- Fixed an issue that was preventing the Blood Moon event from working properly.
- Hunter
- Fixed an issue where the Frenzy tooltip on the master Hunter now correctly shows 6% instead of the incorrect 40%. This has no effect on the actual damage done by the pet.
- Shaman
- Electromantic Caster Mail set – Reduced Lightning Bolt cast time reduction to 0.1 seconds (was 0.2 seconds).
- Developer’s note: This set bonus was really strong and resulted in 10% more Lightning Bolts. We’ve reduced the cast time reduction to avoid the possibility of this older set bonus not being replaced with later Phase 3 gear.
- Fixed an issue with Way of Earth that caused it to continually trigger the global cooldown while dual-wielding.
- Electromantic Caster Mail set – Reduced Lightning Bolt cast time reduction to 0.1 seconds (was 0.2 seconds).

Translation: We wanted Elemental to be weaker until they get the Sunken Temple 3 piece set.
Great, thanks, couldn’t wait the 3 weeks or so it would take to grind ST enough to get the 3 piece from there?

Still no fix to the absolutely horrible ranged hunter scaling i see.
Just spell and melee or just melee?
-Horse
Last i looked at it a few weeks ago it only effected spells and melee crit for its on use effect.
Seems they finally updated it to effect ranged attacks for p3… though based on the wording i wouldnt be suprised if it still didn’t effect ranged attacks.

- Significant adjustments were made to trash and boss health. Please note: In order for these health adjustments to take effect you will need to soft reset your instance. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
- Developer’s note: When developing and tuning the Sunken Temple raid encounters, we had concerns about player power going into Phase 3 so we aimed high when tuning enemy health. We feel that we aimed too high and have recently deployed a hotfix that lowers the health of all enemies and bosses within the Sunken Temple to help ensure this content remains accessible to all players. We’ll be watching progress closely and making additional adjustments as needed in the coming days.

Hey Linxy,
I haven’t gotten into Sunken Temple just yet but I was wondering if the bosses there could provide Emerald Warden Rep much like most raids in Classic do (exceptions being BWL and Onyxia).

Any point in fixing Way of the Weaponsmith issues anyway? Not like new SoD gear would ever require Armor smithing or weapon smithing anyway. Just give them another piece of plate under normal blacksmith instead. Big brain.
Sarcasm brought to you by a disgruntled player who assumed you’d make Weaponsmithing relevant this time around in Classic.

Any plans on making tnt not a worthless rune?
It would be better if it just added .2 rap scaling to the abilities it effects over 10% flat damage that only effects base damage and changes explosive shot to a 0.11 rap scaling from 0.10… is it so hard to give hunters ANYTHING to improve scaling…

Any word or fix on rogues still not receiving combo points with Honor Among Thieves?? Completely buggy - works for 2 min and then just doesn’t.
