Still waiting on that Paladin nerf since Phase 1. I thought you weren’t allowed to be biased when working at Blizzard. Refusing to nerf the class you main is pretty embarassing to see, not to mention that you still can’t make a public announcement regarding your brilliant idea of making money by selling hacks to those depressed enough to buy it

Being able to code or count isn’t required to work as a game developer at Blizzard apparently

It’s not the dev’s honest, it’s some hidden evil manager with the final say on decisions messing up SOD, honest

na they have no clue how feral works most useless class in pvp

We’ve added one more change to what’s coming tomorrow:

Paladin

  • The mana return of Seal of Martyrdom has been increased significantly.

As the phases have progressed the value and effectiveness of Shamanistic Rage has increased, mana has essentially become a negligible concern for many horde raids utilizing multiple shamans in phase 3. However, the mana return of Seal of Martyrdom has been comparatively quite modest since the launch of Season of Discovery.

We’ve decided to significantly buff the mana return of Seal of Martyrdom to bring it in line with the mana return of Shamanistic Rage. We recognize that the current phase has seen casters’ power progression fall behind that of melee specs, so we don’t want to further increase that divide at this time. We also don’t want to hinder raid groups who made progress in the raid last week with a nerf.

In general, we feel that mana as a resource should matter, and in the next patch, we’re going to evaluate and tune-down mana return mechanics as a whole to ensure that there is still gameplay around managing it.

Thank you!

Still Horde are by far superior but we will take the W. Only took us 2 weeks of crying on twitter to have it changed somehow.

Where be Starfall, Kaivax mon?

Can you adress the sad state of PVP?
Nerf horde OP racials
Nerf shamans so they be on par with paladins

Ok, that’s good, developers are not completely incompetent. Now just need to fix the pvp somehow.

balancing pvp and pve in the same time without resilience gear. good luck

Nerf paladins? Why would they nerf Paladins when their big brother Shamans are more op in every way? Just another casual noob playing horde with op racials (and shamans on his side) whining about something as weak as paladins… lul

Could we then get the old (bugged) Dance of the Wicked rune back for Warlocks?

Or a drastic change/rework for Soul Siphon that has seen 0 play and is overall far worse than Master Channeler?

Or a rework of Invocation that has overlap/anti-synergy with Everlasting Affliction?
Especially as we have 0 tools to quickly apply our dots to multiple targets/spread the dots, and even raid trash dies so quickly that it is never worth multidotting over Shadow bolt volley spam / Hellfire etc?

Or how Shadowcleave is still absolute trash and still doesn’t work at all with Nightfall? and has no reason to be a CD, especially 6s for a 3T capped horrible spell with basically 0 interaction with runes?

Or how Meta still has no inherent spell pushback protection, which makes casting Incinerate/Immolate & all other cast/channel spells a painful thing to do, especially when we for some reason get 2 runes that buff/provide us with dodge that doesn’t work while casting/channeling a spell?

Or why the only viable demo build with soul-link was nuked for absolutely no reason which leaves us again with only a single build which is again since P1 a destro one for ST/AOE/DPS/Tank situations?

Or how it could’ve possibly gone live that UA wasn’t buffed by Haunt or the fact that WL dots have been criminally underpowered for all of SoD?
Like, the currently strongest DoT build is an Immolate one as only destro spells have a buffed crit talent.
Just the fact that taking UA is a DPS loss makes no sense at all.

I would love to play a nightfall multi-dot build, but to apply just Corruption + DL to 5 mobs takes around 10 seconds, NF procs don’t stack, EA fights with DP for a slot, mobs are dead or almost dead after the 10s to spread and just spamming SBV is almost always a gain besides the Mech Menagerie fight and going DP over EA can leave you with weird moments where Corruption runs out but reapplying it would be an even greater loss.

Most actually cool runes for a shadow dot/nightfall playstyle fight with other cool ones (3/4 on chest), EA/DP, while we have overlapping/useless/weak/noninteractive things in other slots, often things have x% to make something do Y% more damage while there would be so many other things that would be cooler/fun/useful/QoL.

The fact that a spell (UA) now has to get buffed by 120%, and that AFTER Haunt had to get hotfixed to even work with it in the first place is crazy.

The only viable pet BY FAR is the Imp (and now getting a gigantic buff with the LT change making it even more crazy) while FG takes up an entire rune slot.

Or how can it be that Invocation works with Incinerate but not with UA ?! How?!

Thanks for fixing the issues with deep freeze. If you now could be so kind and fix fingers of frost so that it does only proc simultaneously with frostbite but has it’s own proc, that would be great.

Skill issue

Also let us dismiss pets and let it stay away in bgs

Yea imagine tweaking leveling spells, when we are done leveling =)).
Blizzard HATES warriors. No matter what scaling we’ll have at 60, with the new runes it wont matter, we will get one shot by everyone before generating a single rage. At this point we need a rune that increase out stamina by 200% to even partake in pvp.
Also how about 5 min shouts blizz?

I think wars need rage normalization or more defense cds to generate this rage
