Dh and hunter nerfs when. Ridiculous that you missed the most easiest specs to be meta. Wfr is over how about serious tuning?

What an garbage patch. Next time I will also just play a two button class and rock the charts

Another week without Ele-buffs. No Nerf to DHs in PvE.

Another proof you guys dont know what you are doing.

Yeah, frost DKs needed a nerf badly. Not a rework.

Is this a joke?

Buff warriors and nerf DH, Hunters and Rouges.

I’m not sure whether to cry or laugh at this point. How are you leaving the
strong outliers so incredibly strong?

Wow this sure is a class tuning of all time.

Even having no changes would be better than this.

If I say more I will get banned from the forums.

Blizzard please redesign the 4 set and talents for resto druids in raid specifically, a flat buff doesn’t fix the actual problem. It’s very weird a class is absolute poopoo in one type of content (raid) while doing well in m+ at the same time.

Do you guys just Hate WW or something you constantly ignore the issues with it that players have brought up you say you monitor class performance and player feedback yet during the beta you seemed to ignore all the good tier set change ideas. and Now your just letting it sit at the bottom honestly. At this point I don’t believe you are listening.

Thanks for nothing Blizzard, again.

You guys are clueless, do you remember there’s a spec called Windwalker? all the way down there at the bottom, you might have to dig a bit, or are you just ignoring us on purpose?

I mean, I honestly don’t know how to respond to this. Does this mean it will only take me around 6 full regrowths to get back to full hp instead of the usual 12 or so?

more like 10 instead of 12.
6 sounds like a good start though thats not the case here.

Windwalker is literally bottom tier in every aspect of the game - especially after these half-assed tunes. I’m praying for a rework but atleast just address that we exist
