So is SoD just abandoned or what?

Why are there no balancing changes or anything? Where are the nerfs to Warlocks/Hunters complete and utter domination? Where are the buffs to other classes?

I did 2450 damage to this warlock and didn’t get him below half hp. He just healed up with his instant cast escalating Drain Life. Imagine when they get SiL or SLi in combination with Drain Life and Haunt… completely unreal.

Warlocks are only bis in 1v1. They are mid-range for a group of PvP and absolutely terrible for raids. They don’t need any nerfs – The game isn’t designed around 1v1.

If you are a warrior, the issue is more about not having your kit to deal with them. While it’s unfortunate for you, this will be fixed as soon as phase 2 begins. And as the developers said, phase 1 is going to be very short.

Trying to balance each phase perfectly is not feasible. We all should have known this from the beginning. They even said so.

Yeah I am literally useless outside of auto attacking non moving targets.

Warrior is one of if not the best pvp class almost every expansion. Warrior dominated classic dps charts by pretty much twice the damage of every other class for years and was left untouched. Just because warrior isn’t super godly in pvp doesn’t mean it won’t get better later, hunter is absolutely trash at higher levels.

I don’t care about warriors being “not that great.”

It’s the other heinously op classes that are ruining the game making it miserable to play.

Hunter pets were always going to be strong at this level, and they got buffed into overdrive by the runes. Which sucks because it’s all passive and boring so it doesn’t even change the playstyle. They should rework it so that Hunters are actually fun to play, but I have no faith that they even know how to do that.

Warlocks seem like complete trash against anyone that can heal even a little bit. Their damage is so low, especially the demon form locks. They don’t have an interrupt, they don’t have damage, the only thing they can do is outlast DPS that don’t heal.

I saw people commenting and how warriors are crying all the time about not being the absolute best and how silly it is. I guess it’s true.

Hunters have been heinously OP in low-level pvp for the entire lifespan of this game, all the way up to current retail. When the levels increase and classes get their kits more filled out in the next phase, things will be different.

Calling the gamed abandoned barely after a week because you got punked by a warlock in a 1v1. Clownish behavior.

Which is a reason to not balance them… why exactly?

It’s just baffling how little is being done with this and how infrequent the changes are.

PvP is already a meme in the normal game, are people really surprised that it’s horribly unbalanced in this experimental mode?

Aggrend on twitter basically said it’s been 9 days and acts like we are dumb for not knowing they are working on changes. So no it’s not abandoned and balancing probably is coming but, Blizzard is just practicing radio silence after telling customers to provide feedback to create the maximum frustration among players.

Not good at navigating twitter, but the specific tweet is a very popular reddit thread that was made today.

The benefits from turning drain life into a dot are so game changing that it didn’t need a 50% damage increase on top of it. They should remove that part of the rune and warlocks would be more reasonable.

5/5 talent points in improved drain life only give you a 10% damage increase. 50% is insane in combination with turning it into a dot.

If they are going to nerf every none pet based rune for hunters into oblivion, warlocks should get the same treatment.

It should be consistently balanced and tweaked the entire time. Every patch.

Nope. Wrong. It should be balanced at every point in the game. You’re objectively wrong here.
