What other class would get a raid buff that does nothing for 2/3rds of the specs

Wf for ele and resto, thats the solution…this just sad at this point.

It also gives a flat %2 boost to mastery.

It’s a pretty good looking raid buff honestly. Windfury plus a % buff to mastery. Sure, casters don’t benefit from half of it but both resto and ele still bring that to other melee which means people will want them around more.

Found the guy who didn’t read the changes and made the react post.

I read it, its nonsense. Imagine if AI or Fort for example did nothing for 2/3rds of the class.

Instead how about enchance gets WF and then Ele and Resto also get a cool totem?

if I’m choosing between a raid buff that only a third of specs can use versus no raid buff I would choose the raid buff that only a third of specs can use

fortunately, I don’t have to choose; as it also gives mastery which every spec can use

AI does not affect:
Warriors
DKs
Rogues
Hunters
Enhance shaman
BM monks
WW monks

Battle Shout does not affect:
Warlocks
Priests
Mages
MW monks
Holy Paladins
Ele and resto sham

Blessing of Might does not… You get the idea.

New Windfury affects:
oh, ALL SPECS.

Sure melee who prefer mastery will get a bit more, but that is nothing to cry over.

Because that’s a bad idea.

We don’t want to create situations where we need 2-3 shaman in every raid to cover 2-3 spec specific buffs the same way we don’t want to create a situation that demands all 4 specs of druids or all 3 specs of hunters or mages.

Mastery effects everyone positively.

You are bringing 2% seconday stat + WF, which is on par with Mark of the Wild bringing 3% secondary stat.

I get that maybe some enhance are salty that they might have to compete with resto or elemental but this change is good for the game and welcome to being every other spec that has to compete within it’s own class to be the right pick.

We had nothing before as a raid buff, now we have something. It’s an improvement and a welcome one. It may not be perfect for everyone but it beats bringing nothing like we did before and WF being limited to only affecting the enhance shaman and 4 other melee.

It helps all specs in pvp because it’s another buff that must be dispelled. This will protect other buffs that are more important!!!
