There are some specs I hate when I seen them and fire is one of them . Idk why, maybe Iām weird but I get this strong urge to role my eyes to some dps specs . Do I say something to the player? No. Do I kick them? No. Do I wish they hadnāt queued and I picked them? Yes .
I would WAY rather see frost and arcane in my groupsā¦
Idk why I shared thisā¦yāall gonna think Iām weird
I think itās because fire has a relatively involved rotation during burst windows, and people who arenāt insanely familar with the spec tend toā¦lose sight of everything else while combusting.
Thatās the problem with affliction, it just wanted to bet ret without the burst. Along with having agony and corruption tied to the GCD makes it even more rough IMO. I remember when I used to play it in 9.0, and you had to apply 7 dots, some of which had casts and were all also tied to the GCD. In which it took a while to actually start your damage, and meant in some cases mobs were already dying when your dots were ready and you were about to DG, DSM and then shard dump.
They need to take some of the dots off the GCD, like agony and corruption should be macroable into either a single button, or be able to be tied to other dots. Given it just felt bad to spread and put all your dots out, only to have them start falling off when your ready to start your burst, especially when it was out side of darkglare.
For M+ hereās where we were in May ( Tables donāt show in preview )
IIRC Beast Master is the only spec towards the bottom that got buffs. WW got buffed. I Would imagine theyāll be back on top with after the survival and destro nerfs.
The main problem, in my opinion, with Affliction is the Malefic Rapture and Darkglare mechanics. Affliction being a build shards and dump shards, but not having a controllable way to build shards, is terrible design. And making a DoT class, be a burst class is another wrong turn.
Affliction should be able to apply DoTs quickly. Then have mechanics to extend them or have them flair up.
Probably a toss up between Arcane, Feral, and Fury.
Feral is still gutted and has been underperforming. Okay single target, terrible everything else.
Arcane just struggles in almost all forms of content right now. They are bottom of the charts in Raid and M+ respectively. They have not received and major buffs.
Fury is also bottom tier in Raid, but above average in M+. No buffs, no nerfs, and even with Jaithys and upgraded old warrior soul weāll still struggle to break middle of the pack in raid. People tend to forget that all the BiS options will be available for the other specs as well.
LOTS of feedback on feral.
From streamers, from the forums, from the reddit, from the discordā¦
I donāt think anyone will be surprised when none of it is acted upon and itās class fantasy is once again āunderperforming rogueā instead of āDruid of the Clawā
Probably affliction, they gutted poor affli for no reason.
Actually might be balance druid, they are basically useless right now (for keys anyway). Id rather take a feral then a balance nowadays.
