So the lack of balance is going to kill your sub count

Maybe I’m just a noob… but is class balance really that big of deal…? Like sure you wanna do the best you can, but how do you stop classes from being too similar from each other and give it it’s own identity without throwing off the balance a little here and there?

From what I hear, some classes are a little weak right now, but is that really a big enough effect on people for them to not want to play the game anymore?

And I’m not saying there shouldn’t be changes, just surprised people quit playing over DPS numbers of all things.

Click any of those and have a peek at their damage breakdown. It’s honestly hilarious that someone at Blizz genuinely looked at that and thought it was fine

frost Mage/DK in pvp are doing nothing to anyone. That’s very simple to read, ok ? THEY, ARE, DOING, NOTHING, TO, ANY-ONE. Do you understand me ?

I’m an UDK and when i see a FDK , i just…it’s sad because i kill them without take DMG.

Rogues are one-shotting ppl in 1~3 sec. They have all the toolkit to avoid atacks and go off battle fast enough to recover. Then they come back and kill you when you are off trinkets/defensives…in 3 sec. 100% to 0% life.

Prot pallys…

…wait a sec.

You are another troll, because this is a thing that everyone knows now…so you guys just ask to enrage us…i got that.

You are just saying words and hoping that’s an argument. Like what other way do buffs and nerfs happen, do I kill 3000 sprites in Ardenweald and that nerfs Convoke?

Or any of the multitude of videos on youtube showing people dying in literally less than a second from rogues and druids coming out of stealth.

Yes words are what we use to convey meaning. No argument necessary, the balance speaks for itself this expansion.

I hope that’s a joke

I mean, I won’t quit over it, but others might. I imagine most players are used to this and just reroll like they probably have in other expansions.

You definitely can’t balance classes when:

  1. There is over a 20% difference in class dps
  2. Covenants were not designed with balance in mind
  3. Your constantly nerfing classes that do not need it

they nerfed rogues and after the nerf , rogues discovery a macro to one shot ppl again…

33

Unless (like me) they don’t PvP at all. Your complaints are 100% PvP because you are failing to work as a team in PvP.
3 seconds is enough time for your team to be able to help you deal with that rogue every time and keep you alive.
The fact that like most PvP players you try to solo everything is not a problem with the game.

ITT: people demanding an instant, perfect fix to everything all at once with no time to test or account for possible over corrections, at the beginning of the arena/raid season, during the holidays, in the middle of a pandemic

Words have meaning, just going ‘time gated buffs and nerfs’ does not, there is no meaning behind that other than ‘lmao buzz words used complaining on forums’.

We have already seen a few classes who were doing extremely well pulled in, I’m sorry you haven’t observed that or are not paying attention to what has and is about to happen.

Holy mother of condemn. I just had 2 minutes of laughter, I really needed that. Thank you.

we’ve been getting small tweaks to classes basically every week, sometimes multiple times per week, we got a fairly large rebalance 2 weeks ago, things have been slow this week because of the holidays, expect more and larger balance passes to happen in the new year when they have their full staff back instead of just a skeleton crew.

Yeah rogues can be a little scary currently, but I haven’t seen one that scary since nerfs, though I currently do low rated arenas.

39

The only thing I see happening is nothing, unfortunately. I honestly may just be so salty this expac because I switched to main a warlock, and I’m nothing but a squishy noodle turret.

Because players understand their class and those nerfing them do not.
