BM was almost viable for one day, so much for that…

Survival didn’t benefit from that 35% buff. Lame but oh well.

Fix restorative mists / ascendance.

Shaman can’t play

26

DK nerfs unwarranted. Please revert this change.

Definitely think this nerf was completely uncalled for. Blizzard employees have an internal hatred for DK’s I swear…

there is more than this I think this is just the “right now” because its the time they need to be out by. Theres no way there wasent also MM hunter changes, frost mage changes and of course were still missing actual ele nerfs and plenty of others. Hoping for better changes by Fridays notes I guess.

Can you fix the overnerf of fire mage and arcane in pvp, the PVE nerfs feel really heavy in pvp after the patch. Numbers on the patch notes dont seem to fit what we are seeing

WHYYYY are the feral buffs not PvE only when it is literally the top melee spec by far in PvP currently??? Is this some kind of joke?

So… will this be retroactive for those of us who have already handed in the quest this week on at least one of our characters? Do we have do it on another character to get it or are we just screwed out of it for this week?

They mentioned it a while back that they were going to reduce the damage on kill command, stop, and pet specials 35% because they removed the 35% damage reduction you had normally gotten by having two pets out. It sounds like that particular 35% damage nerf on kill command failed to launch, so they are putting it now. The whole thing was suppose to me mostly net neutral with a buff to pet auto attack for beast cleave damage. The other buff to kill command was unrelated.

Wasn’t feral already outperforming everything in PVP by a lot?

Any update on the unintended 10%+ nerf to Frost Mage?

The nerf from 6 to 4 splinters for Arcane was also applied to Frost. Pretty discouraging as a Frost player honestly.
