another class tunning its been awhile and what a surprise no boomking changes? how so in every prev tunning we had one
uhd s tier m+ highly desired in raiding getting more buffs, ret pala most popular spec in M+ and wow currently more buffs when the spec is decent already
when bm hunter is getting some love? how being bottom tier in m+ is performing good ?
the changes makes me and not only me wonder if those people who make them have any idea about the game
Hey Blizzard any chance you can change Gargoyle for UH DK.
It would have been really nice if it got changed to summon 3 Gargoyles to bombard the enemy target with each having a chance to apply a Festering Wound to the target, also make it so while Gargoyle is active it will also increase the damage your undead does, and while at it make it also while it’s active it will increase the chance to proc Sudden Doom.
I also think it would be smart to move Gargoyle to where Unholy Assault is and make them in to a choice nod CD talents to offer a bit more options in their individual play styles.
This is way better than it’s current design and would make it way more interesting as a 3 min CD as well as making it feel like a impactfull one.
Also can you pls replace Unholy Pact for Raise Sludge Belcher. Raise Sludge Belcher offers so much more to Unholy than what UP does, Unholy Pact is just to gimmicky with how it requires us to position our self to deal damage with it, but what Raise Sludge Belcher offers is way better utility, and it improves on every thing our Ghoul previously could not. Some of them are such as it can cleave out side Dark Transformation and Aoe while in it, and when you use your pet defensive it no longer requires to be in DT to use it as it will attack with the defensive being up , it just get a little bit stronger in DT instead. Other things it also does is it gives UH DK a physical Death Grip which is a massive quality of life improvement to counter magic immune enemy targets. Just slap on something like a 10%-20% damage and health increase when Raise Sludge Belcher is talented.
Last request also Blizzard. Can you replace Ruptured Viscera for something like a passive that makes it so when you use Dark Transformation your All Will Serve Skulker will get DT to turn it in to a Giant Bone Lord, it will use the model of Lord Marrowgar from ICC. What this could do is that when DT is used on it, it will use Bone Storm and charge in to the enemy target and deal damage to them for 5 seconds, after that it will just do normal cleaving attacks to the enemy while DT is up, in addition, things like Infected Claws and Ghoulish Frenzy will also work with the Bone Lord during Dark Transformation.
This changes could really help to give UH DK a better damage profile for it’s minion build as well as giving bringing some fresh air to that poor Skulker no one takes because it has no interaction with the rest of the talent tree.
can you stop buffing augmentation already? spec ruined the game since when it’s been released maybe it’s time to let it sit in the past for way more than 2 months of patch isn’t it?
also outlaw rogue needed months (even more) for a bugfix and yet we’re buffing ret paladins kekw gg
If you’re going to nuke blood beast like this can you at least give us some meaningful ST buff that we’re actually going to see in mythic+? Magus frostbolt buff isn’t even going to be felt, and abom is just for raid…
BoJ and Judgement both. BoJ is doing reduced AoE beyond 5 targets IF specced into Blade of Vengeance (which they don’t. Holy Flames is being used (DS buff and spreading Expurgation).
The Pala discord. Using their logs as a base. Rough estimate which is usually correct just like it was the last time when Ret got buffed.
And again ret isnt specced into Blade of Vengeance currently but runs the DS Holy Flame talent in both ST and AoE since it gives the 3% ST increase and the expu spread for AoE.
At this point i ensured there is no dev playing warrior at all. There is litteraly 0 point in buffing Bladestorm while Ravager is a default pick. Also not getting any changes to aoe damage (aka m+) while giving aug a whole 15% buff places fury at the bottom of a dps chart without any competition from any spec, congrats my fellow fury warriors. I know there is a lot of hate towards Mike Ybarra, but he was playing a war atleast, and i guess that’s why our class wasn’t awfull back then. Im not asking for fury to become meta, just make this class competitive with others by adjusting some numbers and maybe giving some utility.
