Is that 3% increase going to apply to pets as well? There is a long history of these types of increases not applying to pets.

Yes because people only raid, elemental had 197 mythic logs compared to thousands of other classes only a few days ago, the spec was absolutely gutted and the loss of near 30% aoe throughput just dropped them out of M+.

So sick of the raider first mentality I swear to god

Think we’re missing ret buffs on here

As Havoc gets ignored again lol. Expect disappointment and you’ll never be disappointed. Not looking for any serious buffs here, just a 4pc Tuning is all

3% buff but don’t forget you got a pet so it’s 3%+3% = 6%buff

Actually these types of buffs tend not to apply to pets, so it’s more like 3% to half your dps or 1.5%

Holy isint really op in pvp. You just have to play right with pressure. 1stun get em low to get trinket. 2nd stun gets the gs. 3rd stun gets the kill. Holy priest finally being viable when druids have been shapeshifting and mighty bashing thier way to the top since forever is no reason for a nerf.

Frost DKs are doing like…really well right now.

I know everyone always wants buffs for their spec, but come on.

His post also doesnt make sense. Frost DK single target and aoe “rotations” are exactly the same thing lol. They literally dont change at all unless your Night Fae. Then you hit D&D.

Yes, they’re overpowered; first of all you can’t get close enough to stun them because they’ll chastise you from 30 yds + fear you and then maybe throw in mindgames.

Secondly even if you manage to get near them they have 30 seconds of immunity to the first CC that hits them, on a 30 second cooldown (because of Holy Ward), and then they can immune your next CCs with Greater Fade (3 seconds of immunity to almost everything on a 45 second cooldown) or just chastise and/or fear you.

Druids got nerfed; their strongest legendary got a huge nerf that significantly reduces the maximum achievable uptime on Cenarion Ward (their only undispellable HoT that does a non-trivial amount of healing, not counting Frenzied Regeneration which only works on the druid). Their PvE buffs got rolled back in PvP while the same didn’t happen for holy priests. Their survivability got massive nerfs (Frenzied Regeneration is much weaker in PvP now). There’s a reason holy priests are extremely overrepresented in arena atm and druids aren’t

Realistically Blizzard should just have never nerfed Elemental without compensation when it made all those changes for “ease of play”.

There were many people who were perfectly happy to do good damage whilst having to spam those buttons. It should never have straight up been nerfed by 50% of the stack limit with no offset.

That said Elemental Shaman still provide quite a bit more than many classes in M+. Certainly they may be worse off than before, but they aren’t for example Ret Paladin bad where a dungeon slice is equivalent to an additional 200 dps bad.

That’s not how it works. It also depends entirely on how it’s coded. If it’s a damage aura buff, it will only buff the hunter 3% and not the pet - for effectively ~1.5% buff. If they actually increase the damage of every ability by 3%, then it will be 3% overall.

Chances are they will take the quickest coding route and just do a damage aura buff, which is going to suck. I just really want clarification on whether it’s the Hunter and pet or just the Hunter, so I refer back to that post when they screw it up.

Mw has the highest pure hps in raid atm now m+ they struggle atm

Just… don’t.

These bosses are already tough enough with halfway decent comps.

Not sure why it took so long to buff feral but its good to see. 10% won’t be enough.

Why does Balance gets trees but resto doesn’t? That makes no sense at all. Give it to feral and resto. Innervate to feral too please.

Try actually playing feral in AoE so you can see how annoying the rotation is for yourself.

My guess is there are nerfs coming but they don’t intend to do it while the world first race is going on since all those guilds do or use is the over-tuned specs

Frost DK already has good ST and your AOE is great, you don’t need buffs.

Havoc isn’t even doing bad?

Are you joking? Demo is out of control in every aspect, Survival has the most busted AOE ever, Marks is doing both ST and AOE very well, these all need nerfs.

hahaha…wait, you were serious, weren’t you.

Still remember monk pve fixes. And then the monks were like Bruce Lee and Chuck norris combined in pvp.

I see some pvp’ers who ahve been dragging there feet on the pve…caring to do 7 chapters for that belt now.
