I’m starting to think this guy is one of those in the run and he’s doing it for click views at this point. every week it’s the same thing…
Logs show different than your personal opinion. You can’t argue against stats. Prot does more damage.
Worse and non intuitive rotation is quality of life improvements? Explain that to me
Blizzard: “Brewfest will return September 2025.”
I mean, Arcane did NOT need a buff this release, but I also don’t think it needed a 15%ish nerf. Either way, setting people up to expect a ~10% buff and rotation change for a couple months, only to yank the rug hard in the other direction, on patch release day, is a bad move. I think we can all agree this should have been tested and communicated further in advance, even those who think its deserved can recognize it isn’t a way to win over customers by blindsiding them.
I would argue if you’re going to nerf some specs, you really need to look at Sin Rogue, Ele/Enc Shammy, and ret. The problem I think is a lot of these patches are meant to address the top 5% of players. And yet, they hit the bottom 95% harder.
I switched to resto shaman as my main and love it. From that perspective, BDK are a great example of me not running with any of them because 90% scare the hell out of me with their healthbar pinging dangerously low, same for DH. So I’m not sure nerfing them way the way to go, even though it fixes the issue with the top 10% maybe doing too much damage. Oddly, I also haven’t seen many mages in groups lately, either. Maybe they’re already geared or doing higher than 8’s which are my current preference.
I guess I’d like to reiterate that we should be buffing underperformers and not nerfing over performers, in addition to giving more notice where possible. And this really should have been seen earlier. However, I am willing to be shammy gets the nerf bat next, instead of buffing other classes (dps and heals).
That was a buff that would increase AoE damage, which is pretty garbage on Arcane
It’s like where I work. We throw numbers at a board to see what sticks. I see this is Blizzards mentality too.
So why are you nerfing blood dk when in the very same post you said the nerfs are directed at frost dk and arcane mage?
So why is Arcane and Frost being nerfed directly while Enhancement, which is by far outperforming everything, untouched?
You can look at the many logs and see that isnt true… ppally dmg was good and only getting better with this patch… “you dont really know your class” lmao buddy
Spellslinger absolutely did. Even with the massive buffs it was still worse than Sunfury. They shouldn’t be nerfing it and should have targeted the nerfs at Sunfury.
Riiiight. Next update, we are tuning Warlocks, giving them a 10% buff to all damage. All other classes, we are buffing 20%. It should equal out, right?
Squabbling over whether prot pally or blood dk is the lowest dps tank when we all know it’s brewmaster is hilarious.
Frost needed a slight nerf, or to stay the same. Heck, giving a light buff to Riders would have been nice if you’re gonna nerf DB. Something like a 5-10% damage increase while mounted would have been awesome to make you feel like you are actually part of the Riders. A 10 second buff every 45 seconds is pretty nice. Or bring down the cool down for Fury to 2 mins and then 1 min with talenting through that tree so we have more time with them.
Buff other classes vs nerfing the top.
If they could read logs I’m guessing they’d be very upset with you right now.
buff dps warrior plz. dont you see dps warriors are suffering in m+? actually, we can’t even get in a group. nobody wants us.
this is objectively wrong.
top mists damage:
prot paladin: 1.167M dps
blood dk: 1.018M dps
top stonevaults damage:
prot paladin: 1.263M dps
blood dk: 1.006M dps
Look at my avatar. Guess what spec I play.
Your 4th post. I’m glad you took the time to contribute. Calling it “simple” is wrong when you need WAs to play it optimally. Do you though.
Listen if your class can do it’s job and the gameplay is fun, who gives a flying hoot about the DPS? Please, this is a game, some of y’all making yourselves sick over numbers.
According to logs, Warrior > DH > Monk > Pally > Druid > DK, feels bad to be blood
