From testing the last days and the high chance the beta will go live as it is right now I try to forsee some complains of the forums for the first season of SL
- Broken PvE trinkets
- Skulker’s Wing (aka Drest 2.0) does instant 15k damage can crit and has 1.30 min CD
- Dreadfire Vessel does instant 11k damage can crit and has 1.30 min CD
- Blood-Spattered Scale (aka blood barrier) absorbs 30k damage deals 8k damage and absorb+damage is increased for everyone hit in range. 2 min cd lasts 10 sec
- Sanguine Vintage absorbs 15k damage and heals for 200% of the remaining absorb 1 min cd
Honorable mentions:
- Bargast’s Leash redirects 25% of all damage on you to another team mate up to 50k damage for 30 sec. 2 min cd
- Grim Codex deals instant 8k damage and can crit, I don’t think it even shares a cooldown with other trinkets but it’s basically a sub rogue trinket
- Glimmerdust’s Grand Design heals a target for 200 HP every 2.5 seconds for 2 minutes and whenever the target drops below 35% get absorb shield for 17k
- Classes
Ele, Affliction, SP will be favor of the year.
Sub Rogue will be fotm because pve trinkets and kyrian covenant is doing unjustifed high damage which kills u in opener with their legendary which guarantees crit for 4 sec, otherwise I actually think Sub Rogue is kinda fine.
Warrior is literally the next reroll lever for many BFA DH’s. Only thing you have to do as Warrior is spam condemn and mortal strike while being unkillable because of OP utility with intervene, banner, reflect also literally unkillable cuz of deff stance, ignore pain, and whatever warrior has access to. Kiting warriors is also a thing of the past with condemn.
Also it’s 100% going to be a caster meta (yawn) where Warrior especially shines with all the toolkit they have.
Literally Warrior >>>>>>>>>> Rogue >>>>>>>>> rest when it comes to melees
Healer balance is kinda fine but Mana for Rsham, Rdruid needs to be adressed. MW and Hpal are a bit clunky but MW is kinda good vs Casters cuz of Healing orbs.
Every class atm has something broken going for them but these classes mentioned are most likely the most broken.
Did you ever see an affliction lock kite a WW? yea me too until SL

Fortunately Condemn isn’t going to be BiS, but it’s not like having to deal with a 4 sec inescapeable root is any better.
Ive seen Warriors play both on Beta but didn’t really matter with the overall build
U forgot the insane dmg from ww and the 10% execute which is an insta kill.
Ww is s tier alongside rog and arms but i mean for u ww is literally c tier i guess.
Unkillable cause of banner intervene and deffstance i didnt know those abilitys give u immunity to dmg. U learn something new everyday.
And dont worry Warrior gets nerft 2 weeks into the addon like Everytime. So that all the other meeles can be op again it was always like this ,meanwhile Warrior is b tier 2 season or all 4.
Pls if u make such a list why u never mention ur own specc its also broken.
Be fair atleast.

WW only has insane burst while Warrior has both, insane damage and insane burst
And the execute is whatever btw It’s on 15% and it has some of the worst delays ive seen on any ability yet. Maybe it’s the constant 150 ping but who cares.
Nothing in current WW’s kit on beta makes them S tier when compared with a warrior. WW is A tier at best and this only for the one gimmick they have which is insane burst. Nerf it and WW is not going to be C tier but even D-F Tier as it received the most basic class nerfs next to DH
Banner and intervene are literally game saving utility abilites to help YOU and your Team mates to survive
I hope Warrior gets nerfed in the upcoming 2 weeks so it doesnt outclass every other melee as it is rn
I did mention my own specc here:

Tbh with u, i dont want warrior to be op i just want him to be good.
I hope also they dont allow pve trinkets rule in pvp again.
In my eyes sl is not rdy they are Not even done w classes.
And u know what the saddest part is rmx will dominate again.
I played a lot of beta also on stream with many good people and all I saw was annoying caster cleaves (even worse than bfa) shadowplay will be beyond disgusting.
SP survivability control and utility is so strong it’s insane + affliction spread pressure and perma corruption slow it’s too dumb.
I forsee the meta being like:
SP/Affliction/x
SP/Ele/x
Ele/Affliction/x
Affliction/Boomkin/x
SP/Boomkin/x
Also Mage isn’t too bad prolly can mix it somewhere in there too.
And then there might be anti meta comps like:
Warrior/lock
WW/SP
SV/SP
RPS
double melee cleave with DK aka WW or War
etc
Like said I hope and I don’t think rmx is so good rn on SL but the pve trinkets literally carry rogues to S+ tier. If pve trinkets are unviable then rmx might be the healthiest it ever has been.
But if this might be the case Rogue mage will get buffed within a week.

What worries me the most is how big the damage gap is between classes/specs, being it pvp or pve. But I guess that’s something that they never intend to fix anyway regardless of deadlines.

Somehow i dont like the fact affli beeing this strong again.
Yea the 1 season is mostly a big mess cause they just wanna finish the addon and taaadaa here it is.
I like Affli more than destro tbh if they removed the permanent corruption slow then it might be the most fair warlock specc but as it stands, the slow+port is just too much you can literally run around and kite melees with instant slows even DH’s and WW’s.
I know they’re not the tankiest casters and only have 1 school to cast but permanent slow is really not needed.
8 sec duration would do a lot already. I mean why do they even have slow curse in the first case

Why do we give casters perma slows that is something i will never understand.
Or remember the annoying destro root who ever did this needs to be pummelt.
I hope they change alot or s1 will be abig mess.
Tbh I think the best counter comp will be TSG, it’s quite literally inescapeable and both DK and warr has received a ton of benefits.
Yeah important part for melee cleaves will be uptime on the warlock or SP depending what comb you are facing. While DK is not really popular on beta right now it might play a key role in SL
Cool 
here we go again Dres 2.0
Also those pve trinkers are nerfed by 50% in pvp and in max level in sl(60) players will have from 30-45k hp depending on their gear so a 8k dres is nothing and all those trinkers are not very OP like some BFA trinekts.
Also i’m glad that there is dres 2 in SL ,at least something for DHS 
I mean a 30k blood barrier or 20k skulkers crits will still make a huge difference in outcomes.
The offensive trinkets aren’t actually so great for the majority of classes since badge is now 1 min CD. It’s just they stupidly scale with sub rogues to finish you in a opener.
The blood barrier and the sanguine like the redirect trinket are at full effectiveness in PvP last time I checked.
I just saw my SP yesterday playing with it against double melee
affli legendery will be 100 % broken and annoying i mean who even think its good idea to have perma slow on corruption? Everybody saw that coming from introducing legendaries it was so obvious.
I want affli to be good but this so stupid…they nerfed it to 50% slow i think but still its stupid. Idk if devs came with these ideas i dont have trust in their ability to think …3x leaps warrs this affli sh*t what are they smoking?
Is it only the legendary or also the specc?
