This usual pattern of nerfing/buffing everything one month into a new raid patch is getting really annoying.
How is it that everyone knows what trinkets/specs are going to be amazing before a patch drops aside from Blizzard?
Either hire more people or start using better sims or AI to change this ridiculous nerf/buff pattern. Or…gasp listen to the people playing on the PTR servers. It’s starting to feel like this is done on purpose to increase our play time chasing trinkets.
Rant over. I’ll still be playing every day. Ty for frost buff.

Agreed though I will take the random mm buffs

I enjoyed relearning fire but I knew the buffs/nerfs were coming. I love playing frost. Seems I might have to relearn Arc though. That’s a huge buff.
I just feel that this should along with trinkets should have been dealt with before the patch dropped.

The trinket changes are just making the gap smaller. Not a single one of the ones that got buffed is notable right now.
The spec changes are bullcrap that they obviously waited for the WFR to be over to implement though.

I haven’t checked out trinkets yet. I read the numbers but I’m not smart enough to calculate on a percentage basis from the numbers I read.
Most are roughly 20%, but its 20% to the static damage on a cooldown trinkets, which are almost never good.
(DF had 1 for casters and 1 for melee and that’s pretty much it - and given current similar trinkets STILL do less damage than the caster one from DF, I’d say they didn’t like how that turned out)
(TWW had that one trinket but it was only really good for memes and self healing honestly)
Lol if you think the people that know their class will be OP is going to tell Blizzard about it on the PTR.
I guess my point is that Blizzard should have known those numbers and made the appropriate changes before the raid/patch went live.
They make the game for 20 people. The rest of us are pay pigs too addicted to find a better game and catch the scraps when they are finished with business.
You’re not wrong, and the appropriate thing to do would be to have 100 people that play the game at a high level on payroll to test and know this stuff, but that is probably too expensive for a small indy company like Blizzard.

Some are pretty standard, then Holy Paladins get like 30% buffs to everything. Clearly Blizz knew before WFR was over that they needed tuning.

Whoa, brewmaster got a 3% damage buff. Time for everyone to reroll.
Edit: Was that 3% stolen from Shadow Priests?
I’m fine with it. My first season tier was still too strong and now I’m getting buffed for Devoker and Prevoker.
Not keen on Aug getting buffed, though.

I’m happy because Frost is my true love. I did enjoy re-learning fire and it is easier. I just don’t enjoy spamming @cursor spells (Flamestrike).
I enjoy playing around Icicles(charges).
I can’t Fire Mage worth my life. LOL
If I want to play my version of Fire Mage, I go play Destro Lock. My sucky self can at least understand that spec. 
It’s very spammy. My poor pyroblast bind on my mouse got a workout. It was like spamming ice lances last season as SS frost last season. My right thumb is going to be bigger than my left if they keep doing this to me.

There are more than 20 casuals playing the game.
yeah my bad, you count as 1.5, so 20.5 play the game.
