Class Tuning Underway -- 3 February

It pretty much is only that. The worst part is that fixing a broken class isn’t rocket science. In the case of fury, restore old enrage and then buff rampage by an additional 10-20%, done. The underperforming core of a spec needs a buff first and then you can do these tiny % increases on all abilities across the board. First they nerf you into the ground then drip-feed you tiny increases. It’s like they want some specs to be 20-30% behind others. Havoc too, demonic was nerfed for no reason but to push the Momentum playstyle. Changes like that just make no sense.

cheap fixes etc. nothing to see here

Please will you do something about the lacklustre state of holy priests. It’s been well documented since Shadowlands started, and our class is in a very sorry state right now.

Everyone complains about lack of healers - well, that’s 1/6 of the healer base who are struggling. If you want to encourage healers then do something about this.

The class as a whole is not well thought out, but at this stage I think some buffs to our overall healing would help as a stop-gap solution while you actually change the class to make it more competitive in Raiding and M+ environments.

So many specs are just fundamentally broken since the removal of all the borrowed power in Legion & BFA

It doesn’t matter if you buff the damage of these specs by 100% if they fundamentally are just janky clunky messes

And that is why borrowed power is and always will be garbage in a game of this scale. There will always be another expansion where you lose what made your spec work in the first place. If they never designed them around borrowed power we would never have this problem, but it’s easier and more convenient for them to totally ignore everything that’s gonna come after what they’re currently doing.

Yeah instead of letting borrowed power be an extension of our character they make the borrowed power the ‘‘missing piece’’ every class needs to function at a baseline level.

It’s so broken

They do want some specs to underperform, it fuels the fotm token train.

What a total joke Blizzard, really. I am beast master hunter, my pet does around 60% of our damage and you buff me 5% damage with skills forgetting the pets ofc. My pet rofls at me just now.

Havoc should suffer tho :smiley:

Every one who switched to DH in legion needs to be punished <3

Have you mad lads actually just deleted Priests?

If assassination rogue deals auto attack damage more than his/her bleeds poisons and envenoms also while sitting “NOT ENOUGH ENERGY” with %35 energy reg talents(haste etc ) you are definetly doing wrong. Thank you for nothing but lazy %dmg tunnings.

God, you all sound like you are having a bad time, give some time :rofl: many classes are performing well, I think it is about time that specs like Fury Warrior, Arcane Mages, or Beast Mastery hunters slowly started to become something of use.

WoW - what a pre-school approach to class balance changes.

It’s like they just fling faecal matter at the wall and see what sticks opposed to having any concept of the classes and how to tune them.

Too bad Arcane Mage isn’t getting anything at all…

Blizzard! The DH community is unhappy with just 3% buff, many believe that at least 10% buff is necessary.

I mean, I find it incredible that these aura fixes are not removed completly, let me ask you guys, how many aura buffs has gone into classes like fury and frost and havoc?
Has the impact been there to close these gaps or help a speccs fundamental issues?

I rest my case.

Awesome changes, definitely an improvement for the underperforming classes. This is not the lazy way, this is the best way of buffing underperforming classes. The topic of if you not happy wishing for another rotation for your class or if you want to be better at single target, or AOE, or maybe better with 2 targets (And weaker at single target, cause that’s how balance works) is a very different discussion. All these classes are underperforming and this will buff them.

You can never have the game be a perfect balance even if every single dps spec in the GAME did the Exact same damage say 10 245dps single target and 23 472 dps aoe. And it would always be like that perfect balance there would be a FOTM specs because of Utility.
And people would then complain about that.
