is that a buff to m+ disc or ?

Ridiculous. I don’t even have an opinion.

One of these days, Enhancement shaman will be buffed. Today is not that day though.
I have been benched the entire tier because i one-trick Enhancement shaman. Blizzard has only done two seperate class tuning mid-season. One of these days, i will be allowed to play the game i pay for…

Maybe im blind? but i can’t really see any arms colossus single target buff or arms slayer aoe buffs? I think there must be a mistake in your post Kaivax.

Its so frustrating… now you’ve find a finally some players as Mistweaver Monk to play with some higher Keys and then BM gets nerfed to the ground. Its ok to get the Meta DPS in M+ a bit down, but then get the other 2 Meta Healers also down or Buff all the others. I dont understand your logic, you cant play the game if you’re NOT meta ( and if you want to play alone sometimes ).

nah does not work like that. its a slight slight buff to m+ i hear, and obviously a large buff to raid.

10

Outlaw rogue damage at the moment is very low in every kind of content and we received not a single buff since the patch was out.
Also according to your dear raid logs outlaw rogue st damage and boss damage is the worst in the game and we’re competing with tank on big pulls, being omega pathetic during boss fights in Mythic+. Maybe some patch notes have been forgotten :slight_smile:

Atonement is currently 33 % of Damage Done. They buff it by 15 % so it is round 38%. 38 * 1.75 = 66.5. So its a little 0.5 % buff. Nerfing disc heal in m+ by 13 % would make no sense.

That’s not how math works.

Before buff:
Raids: 100
m+: 200 (100+100%)

After buff:
Raids: 115 (100+15%)
m+ 201.25 (115+75%)

For all intents and purposes m+ is unchanged (a very small buff)

Why no nerf on vw disc dmg in pvp, so nobody will heal the game unless they play vw disc then. Nice so longer ques for all. Still no buff for locks either pvp, kinda meh. So only dh and other melee stay strong.

Where is Shadow Priest?

15

too fundamentally useless to fix with a hotfix

16

Others than Frost… are any of those classes going to be used in MDI? If not… now we know the reasons why many are missing.
Players are preparing for months to compete… we don’t want to give the edge to another class now, do we?

Mr. developer does it make sense for you that Void disc does over 1 Mil DPS as healer in PvP and is this Indeed by Blizzard?

You nerft Mistweaver damage too be almost zero

And then this disc damage exist twice as good as MW ever was, explain yourself

That doesn’t help in dampening if Void Disc does the same damage as a DPS

these devs omg, bro nerf when it was needed not after a month when finally everyone adjusted to it. nerf arcane by 3% srsly? when there overall damage is already pathetic compared to other classes. What is the point of nerfing anything at all now when its too late? just buff other classes instead of nerfing by so big numbers randomly.
