We need hybrid tax

Okay so we reduce:

  • Warlock DPS because of summons and healthstones and curses
  • Hunter DPS because of immunity, bloodlust, misdirect, slows, etc.
  • Mage DPS because of bloodlust, immunity, slows, etc.
  • Rogue DPS because of damage reduction, immunity, poisons, shroud, tricks, etc.

So just… reduce everyone’s DPS?

How about we just reduce nobody’s DPS, instead? It nets the same.

Yea, druids should be the worst at everything

If he thought druid was so great he’d be playing druid, lol.

druids aren’t good at everything, they are only good at one thing at a time.

Shamans are considered hybrids, we’re already mostly nerfed into the ground, don’t ruin DF for us!

Someones gotta do it

Ugh, the hybrid tax was a terrible idea. If I want to DPS, I want to DPS. I don’t want to be gimped because I have the option of rocking a tank or healer, because then you’re punishing someone for just liking the way a certain spec plays. Also, as mentioned above, great way to make people not want to tank or heal.

Better idea make a tank class with 4 tank specs
A healer with 4 healing specs
Melee dps 4 specs
Ranged 4 specs

Tax? omg,the three letter forbidden word !

You also have to account for the frequency in which those skills are required in a raiding setting. Poisons does not count it is a form of DPS. Summons and healthstones are a thing a raid team aims for when selecting, slows is something that is a perk that no one really focus’s on when selecting. Immunity is great in specific fights but it does not get you invited to every fight like healthstones does.

We need to adjust dps to balance raid inviting. If someone already has a skill that “being awesome at battle rezzes” they don’t need more dps to get invites. But if you have a class that only has tricks that are very situational, they do need more dps to ensure the same amount of invites.

well, feral has always been garbage, but the other specs are usually good at least one patch per expansion.

If all druid specs are so great at everything, why are there no top world guilds rocking all-druid rosters? :crazy_face:

Isn’t the hybrid tax the need to have multiple gear sets and for bfa & shadowlands at least having to make multiple legendries or and swapping conduits/azurite traits/covenents? I really hope DF ditches all that garbage.

which druid spec are you thinking is really strong right now

Ive felt this way for awhile. So what, you have two good specs, that doesnt keep you from having to do all the BS that goes along with it. The only thing you skip is the 6 hours it takes you to level.

Probably the one that killed them in PVP.

It’s the law of the (WoW) jungle: [class that killed me] is OP and needs to be nerfed, [class I play] is weak and needs to be buffed, and [class that mine hard-counters] is fine and just needs to get gud.
