Season of Discovery Hotfixes - Updated February 12

Oh man! I wonder what it was reduced to. Hopefully 5 or less. Ideally 3 or less. If they reduced it from 10 to like 8, I’ll be sad.

How is spamming Wrath an actual solution? That would be like me telling you “you can just wand the entire fight”. Its a component of our rotation. If I spam Wrath an entire fight I will do no damage. Our rotation has been fundamentally changed and broken with this nerf. It’s not melodramatic to call this out.

Yes, fetal position because hunters truly suffered in phase 1 and are continuing to suffer in phase 2. :roll_eyes:

How many sod devs does it take to screw in a light bulb? Idk, because they can’t count and have no idea how to test. Screwing in a light bulb is hard work for them. Yall chewed chalk as a kid, don’t lie.

Seriously.

Just make the STV opt-in by default on PvE servers already.

Are enhanc Shaman as DPS going to be viable at any point or it just became a tank spec now?
Lava Lash is a joke.

How about you fix Eclipse. It doesn’t provide spellcast protection at all. Not even 70%.

Are you going to update the Arcane damage from the Leather Set piece in Gnomer to all damage since you’ve nerfed Starsurge? That way at least healing druids have an option as well

oh thank god

This is still showing 10/10/10 in the quest log, was this actually changed?

Just here to boost the fact that it doesn’t appear this change was actually applied. Still showing 10 required. Other players in the disc have dropped the quests and picked them back up to still see 10.

Yeah, I’m just seeing this too. Maybe I need to drop the quests and pick them up again?

Oh, dangit. I was just about to try that.

Can we get the AB rep lumber to be purchasable on horde?

You guys are balancing classes around a pvp event that not many people care about and certainly did not begin playing SoD for. Feels great to pay you money, pick out a class and spec that isn’t that popular but you think may work out at 40, level it and right when you finish have the devs scrap your entire character. Also whoever you hired to do math needs to be fired if they told you that the Starfire buff was net equal in damage to the Starsurge nerf.

“You can literally cast wrath for free” Then Blizzard should just remove boomkins as a class spec then. Resto druids are casting wrath and SS for free in between heals and doing nearly as much damage as boomkins. GG

Bump on this change not actually being in effect. They still require 10.

The “Stranglethorn Lumber” Quest on horde does not have the Shipment of Stranglethorn Lumber at the vendor.

I rarely post on forums because I am too busy enjoying the game, but what the team did to balance druids has for the first time thoroughly killed the joy I was having leveling. This was a kneejerk response to a highly vocal minority of PvP players. I implore the team to reverse these changes and rework the problem. Start by ensuring the abilities work as intended as pushback is still occurring too frequently. An overall reduction of damage by starsurge of 20%-25% is all that is needed, restore the range and remove the tattle-tell effect. Boost wrath to compensate, or reduce starfire cast time by an additional 0.5 sec in addition to it’s damage buff. Additionally, the Nourish rune quest needs a second look as it is no fun whatsoever. Don’t get me started on feral, but suffice it to say feral needs some love. Thank you
