Spriests and druids are still completely broken, gg

Utter, utter trash balance in pvp. Druids and spriests can still burst for massive numbers with zero counterplay. This game is just complete trash. Oh, but 100% xp buff, that’ll help.

It’ll make more druids and shadow priests, at least.

u know druids have no CC other than root (outdoors) which is a cast and bear stun, which requires rage build up. Every time a melee gets on me as a druid balance or resto I have to use warstomp, cat kite, natures grasp, bear, melee for a little, bash to do anything and if its a rogue i have a 20-30% chance of winning if I use health potion well timed with poison cleanse to remove blind.

If its a caster I have nothing to use, just straight pew pew exchange but the priest can rng stun and silence me, mage cs me, shaman interrupt and deflect a spell with totem. In stv event, theres very little u can do unless youre left alone for 2-3 casts every encounter. Youre a lock I see, well Ive faced locks on balance, and 70% of them I defeat with maybe 10-15% left, but a few of them actually destroy me, and they are the ones wh actually use the kit properly, such as using fear well or proper felhunter use.

Edit: Ive been globaled by mages and shamans aswell.

I haven’t run into any issue where a Druid has felt all that threatening since they gutted Starsurge. Unless they win the Starfire Stun lottery, they’re honestly a non-issue. There are much worse culprits out there right now.

with zero counterplay

Just fear them.

fear us… put a succubus or fel hunter on to us… or just ask your rogues or shaman to straight up murder us… heck even warriors are starting to murder us too…

The only time i’m destroying anyone is if i’m left alone to free cast or I out gear them

Void Plague (1GCD=1.5 sec)
SW:Pain (1 GCD)
Homonculi (1 GCD)
Shadowfiend (1 GCD)
Mind Spike x3 (x3 GCD)
Mind Blast (1 GCD)
SW:Death (1 GCD)

For a total of 9 GCD’s or around 13.5 seconds.

If you don’t react at all, with dot ticks and pets slapping most players would probably be dead maybe if the mind spikes crit or with a big mind blast crit. How is that a short time to kill?

Last season you called shadow a meme class, this season you’re crying that they exist.

Have you tried using the felpuppy? It’s basically an “I win” button for warlocks against boomies. I’ll give you spriest, but boomkins cannot burst anymore. It’s a very slow ramp up including multiple GCDs just to be able to cast a starfire that won’t get instantly interrupted so their only burst is ignoring them for long enough that they get a lucky crit on a 2 sec cast after needing multiple GCDs just to lower the cast to 2 sec and buff the damage up enough to tickle someone. The felhunter can even just dispel the starsurge buff and then druid has no burst…

You know boomies are down in the dumps when people aren’t even worried about starfire casts going off except for a 15% stun chance on a 2+ sec cast. When boomies are good classes are at least worried about interrupting starfire (if any spell is interrupted boomkin is just flat out dead - either loses 100% of damage or loses all healing ability) and it’s one of the easiest spells to interrupt with such a long cast time.

I guess it doesn’t even matter that much either when so many boomie spells just flat out get resisted anyway or non-crits on even 2+ sec casts hit like absolute wet noodles with no crit or hit increases from the talent tree at all outside of just 3% aura.

Druids are ok now but spriest is definitely broken. I reroll priest because if you cant beat them, join them. You need to do the same

Priest can. Druids can ONLY if you’re bad enough that you don’t put pressure on them and keep them moving. You sit there and let them free cast and come here to cry about it?

Two reliable forms of CC. Holy Paladin only has the stun. Priest only has the fear. Shaman has no stun or root.

C’,mon!

Remember when people were complaining about Starsurge because it was instant cast, dealt high damage, cost very little mana, and had a 60% crit rate? And they said the thing they wanted is for our damage to be put into our casted spells so there was more opportunity for counterplay? And then Blizzard did exactly that?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Starfire crits for like ~1400 at most in a pvp stam set and if you’re running raid gear you get one shot, it has like an 8% crit rate in Moonkin Form. Chill. You’re basically complaining about a low damage Fire Mage that doesn’t have frost nova or blink, and has a decent Fireball once every 6 seconds

lol
lmao, even

“reliable”

except it has a cast time and breaks super easily
except bash requires three GCDs and melee range and is still just a 3 second stun

druids are not that bad, but my god is void plague over tuned. tics for 10% of my health + swp its basically 15% of my health a tic. i die from void plague even while eating food if im below 35% health.

Balanced Druids are in a good place.
