People are tired of how ridiculous it all is. Don’t you love how blizzard is buffing classes and then theyre top DPS in ICC? Lol? Quality of life right? haha, doing a ton of damage sure is a good quality of life change! Reducing the titan’s grip 10% nerf would be a great QoL change too right??? We’re kind of settled in that some specs and classes will remain terrible while popular or good classes continue to receive buffs in a classic version of the game.
From Zirene quoting that the ret paladin changes were an “exception” to the rule (the class the senior game producer Aggrend plays) to ferals being insanely broken to now the latest buff going to a top tier DPS spec/class, they have no idea what theyre doing.
People are kind of over it now. The devs have no clue whats going on. Theyre partial and biased in making personal changes like its their own private server. People just here to kill LK and move on. If they do Cata or classic+ next, whether or not they decide to butcher that game too will decide whether or not it’s worth playing.

Yes, in that they INTENDED to significantly buff ret damage. That was literally the only spec that needed it. The spec still needs the buffs it got to be reasonably competitive.
It wasn’t a rule they were breaking, the feral DPS buffs were just unintentional with the changes made. The rest of the changes have largely been QoL things that come with some DPS, but the DPS wasn’t the primary reason of the change.
As far as why people aren’t complaining about hunter damage? They are kind of supposed to be strong, as they are only able to spec into DPS.
Mages/Lock/Hunter/Rogue are supposed to be all near the top of the meters when fully maximized.
i mean…thechnically it is.
Blizzard is a private company and own the servers…
Feral druids apparently are very hard to play well, so if any class is going to get buffed and be topping dps charts (from optimal play) I don’t mind it being them. I don’t have much experience with feral so I don’t know what is involved, but if it really is as hard as people say not every random joe is going to be getting those top numbers.
Like ultimately I don’t mind class balancing, but I kind of wish they’d do more. Probably the main thing I’ve hated in classic is the class balance has been extremely bad (horrible in vanilla and has gotten better of course with each expansion), and the fact that everything is known from the start about classes will do well and when. I think a bit of class balancing is fun and kind of mixes up the metas a bit.

No spec is difficult to play, if you plan on being in any way competitive you have weakauras that tell you which button to press.
No specs are difficult to play, but if you’re trying to maximize the spec and get everything out of it you can some specs are difficult.

At this point the only hard game to play is geometry wars. Skill cap has gotten so high in gaming that the average call of duty gamer today would destroy the famous zzirrgrizz from faze
Either you’re the best in the world or you’re trash
I love how 3 of the top 7 specs and 2 of the top 3 are specs that have received Classic-only buffs. And you could even say aff and unholy also received buffs with their major CD resetting, though unholy is also the only spec that got nerfed.
People who think feral won’t be stacked if it becomes better than unholy (and it will) are kinda delusional. It’s an insane dps spec. Best survivability, mobility, and damage, great trash damage, great utility…
Assassination is already squeezed out of a lot of comps by simply not being as good as unholy, feral, and affliction even though it’s one of the better specs in the game. Combat only retains its slot because of the physical damage debuff. Sad to see in a tier where rogue was historically performing very well.
It’s not. They even have a script that prevents them from using FFF when OoC is active (cheating).

It’s so weird how a single idea gets thrown out there, and the community just parrots it to infinity and beyond.
Feral bear-weaving was a difficult spec to manage. Monocat (which is what everyone plays now with the OCC Glyph) is not. And that’s not even debatable. I was reviewing the ToGC logs for awhile before ICC came out, and literally chuckled when I realized that the lower people performed at their classes (as in, 100% to 90% to 80%, etc.) the better that ferals performed relative to everyone else. What that means is that the base floor of what ferals can do now is actually pretty low, and it’s hard for the average person to mess it up.
I don’t know why people are holding on to this idea that the spec is difficult or complex.

Hunters feral and ret are fine.

It’s to be expected when we’re playing a rerelease and only a few specs get the special treatment of buffs.

I think it’s a fair complaint when only a select few specs get major buffs and those select few specs are then among the most powerful specs in the game. 
Especially in a rerelease.

?? it’s the entire point that only a select few specs are getting changes. That’s the whole argument. The whole reason people get annoyed by these things. We’re playing a classic game rereleased and a few specs have gotten massive buffs while most of the rest of the specs, including VERY bad ones that nobody plays, get nothing.

So people think the changes were bad, are now salty and want others fun removed
That or…more changes? Makes zero sense.
Which specs are so down and out that they need these rampant changes to save their existence in this game?

“want others fun removed” god I hate this argument. Can I have some inauthentic buffs too, so I can have fun like them? Maybe make me do 100% more damage, that’s just way more fun.
Well, it’s the direct result of Blizz opening Pandora’s Box with half-assed class balance in this rereleased old video game. People playing worse specs than those that received major buffs are going to want the same treatment.
No, they’re all just as easy, you just need the correct tools (weakauras), which everyone who plays even semi-competitively uses.
That’s what people are doing when the. “What about me” comes along
Rules for thee
“Pandora’s box”?’ Lol that’s a horrendous comparison. Buffing bother specs brought nothing bad, it only improved them. We aren’t seeing rampant ret/feral stacking. Ret is middle of the pack and I think feral is 4th? They’re both perfectly in line.
I think you’re being over dramatic to try and make some sort of a point
