Balancing is ALWAYS happening. That’s never just an ‘expansion release’ thing.
Bigger class changes taking place is usually done on a seasonal basis; not expansion basis unless it’s a really huge overhaul of classes (like we’re getting in Midnight)
If something is truly broken, they can and should act asap.
Yes. Play M+ with the class you want. When the Meta begins to be an annoying problem post a feedback suggestion ingame (that they read, not the forums) and simply stop paying your sub.
Play something else.
I mean… If they themselves cant realize that 4M keys done on week 1, and 1.5M keys done on week 8 is a problem that should be worked on…
Well… dunno… The ball is on their court. It has always been…
What an absolutely idiotic take. So you’d rather go back to SL where classes had to wait for 6 months to get any changes? Kidnly refrain from making your twisted opinions public again
Balance should be happening constantly if anything, some classes and specs barely get taken in high end content.
Leaving the balance “as is” for an entire patch sounds like a nightmare, you might as well bench your character that’s not meta and leave it there for the entire patch. At least with ongoing balance once every few weeks the meta shifts a little bit
wheres that ongoing balance once every week ? i dont see it havent seen it ever been playing the game since 2010 where is it ?? is it coming this week or next week or what ?
say you play a paaladin for example , what changed now ? what exactly impacted your life with the change they just made ? are you ready for the answer down below ?
2 months into a season you just make a lame half measure nerf to 3 specs one which wasnt even doing that good to begin with and you make a silly buff for a spec outside of RAID which is struggling more IN raid than outside …
what does that tell you ? the devs are doing good ? they are aware of the state of the game ? or they are just doing something so at the end of the month when the paycheck time arrives they can say hey look look we did something we made some changes etc … pay us now $$$$
they nerfed frostdk/both hunter sspecs mm/bm/arcanemage
which none of those nerfs are gonna be impactful in any meaningfulwy , arcane mage was already not that amazing outside of incredibly organized groups in m+ it was basically a pugs nightmare specially as you progressed towards lower keys and it will do even worst / in raid mage was doing really good and the 3% wont matter they will continue to be amazing … so far nothing achieved with these changes
as for frost dk and hunter BOTH of them all 3 specs were doing amazing in raid and will continue to do so and as for m+ Frost dk or even unholy dk is so mandatory due to being the only class that has access to grip that even if they nerfed dk by 10% it would still be mandaotry and as for hunter the black arrow dmg nerfs are not enough … it will make they’re overall a bit lower but they will still be the go to class regardless of key level .
as for disc priest i already explained , they were struggling in raid and in m+ and those changes will do nothing for them
So what exactly did they achieve with these changes ?
thats because you dont get the point of the thread , i want them to make changes its good for the game to constantly change the flow of the game and make it more refreshing but this is not that all this does is just annoy ppl and its disrespectful for the time they are putting into the game
while i do get where you’re coming from and yes i agree they should test better before releasing patches.
however, class imbalance is not good for the game.
Frost DKs are overperforming right now
they better fix it or in a couple of weeks everyone and his dog will be playing frost DK.
and they will continue to overperform you are still not getting it my friend
they are not making any meaningful changes they are just making half measure sloppy work , its like thrown a biscuit at a crowd of ppl that are complainning and be like here take this bone be happy or something mush mush go away leave me alone
how ? explain , epxlain to me how class balacing works random forum gamer … i wanna know teach me enlighten me
explain to me how it works and what exactly did blizzard achieve here with these changes 2 months post launch right before turbo boost event and the 9% dmg done rep increase
elaboate on how things work i wanna know , im a clueless person and i dont have the slightest idea on how things work i would like to learn from a professional instead of spewing random things
Which means that prot pally was severely undertuned and the buffs did what they should.
And a bit of knowledge: whenever prot pally is „barely“ tanky enough to survive the highest keys, it is THE meta spec. Barely surviving is good enough, because of all the utility that trumps any other tank spec.
And btw: you play a whole class, not just one spec. If you are serious about playing higher keys, you either play your own with the off meta spec or reroll to the meta spec of your class. Why do you think mage is always meta? Being a spec 1 trick is the worst way to play the game.
this is among one of the top 5 most obsurd takes i have ever witnessed in my life …
how on earth do they know what they are doing ? when they just nerfed 3 classes and buffed one and the result of that was NOTHING CHANGED !
howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww on earth could you possibly say that they know what they are doing ? ur trolling right ? like there is no way you are serious if you are serious then god help us all
