What on earth are these class changes

Have they hired a new team for class balancing or something?

Every set of class tuning they role out is just incredibly tone-deaf to say the least.

They slightly buff Shadow, but they buff the hell out of everything else, so, its behind again because everything else is stronger.

They constantly nerf Fury even though its in the gutter.

They give Rdruid a tiny buff even though 5% is just not enough, but they buff Rsham again even though its stupidly strong?!

And what on earth are they doing with Hpal?

Dont even know where to start
 What is going on with class balancing right now? Can we at least get a blue post explaining the reason for a lot of these bizarre changes?

I mean this is a game that charges a monthly sub, I think people are entitled to an explanation as to why their classes/specs are still performing poorly months into the expansion.

Where is Restoration Shaman getting a buff? I saw an Acid Rain Nerf, but that’s it.

Sorry, should have mentioned the Rsham buffs were PvP specific.

Regardless, flat 5% buff to Rdruid is just nowhere near enough.

Oh, that’s fair I suppose.

I am not really intrested much in PvP, maybe R. SHams are weak in PvP?

That 5% buff doesn’t apply to PvP

Honestly Im not even sure if the fire mage buffs are going to be enough. Guess we’ll see.

I dont know, they just seem to really want people to play certain specs, and ignore others. I dont understand why.

Thw “buff” to BM hunter is a nearly 10% damage nerf across the board with a minimal damage increase on aoe.

So no its not a buff to everyone else

They wanted to make tanking and healing more ‘intuitive’ so they decided to nerf everything
 worst idea ever. Tanking should not be difficult and neither should healing. It’s just a stupid take. Typical blizzard shooting themselves in the foot when nothing is wrong with it.

Less work to them. They’ve always done that. They always leave a spec dead in the water with the mentality of “Will fix later when we have the time” and move on to another class. Fire Mage, Prot Pal, Brewmaster, Resto Druid are some in this list.

Would an explanation suffice, though?

Shadow and bm were too good last expansion, so they get to be in the pooper this one

Blizzard just doesn’t do minor things, they have really high things that get demolished later and get to spend time on the bottom

rogues will get nothing and like it

This is what they’ve always done and it seems deliberate. Rotating FotM classes. Something is strong, then its weak to “make up for being strong” previously. Why does this happen? Why can’t they just give weaker specs what they need to even things out?

Pick any 50 players of the class/spec that do the content regularly and they could probably provide equal or better balancing. Or at the very least they could provide decent feedback that could lead to better balancing.
