Nobody lied all specs hit less hard now but people who continue to tank all DPS cds and never trade defensives or CC will continue to die
I’m not gonna deny that those specs still do a lot of dmg. But nobody with a reaction time faster than 3 seconds is getting oneshotted anymore.
The nerf was to stop oneshots. Which it did. That doesn’t mean that classes can’t do burst damage anymore. If you are having trouble reacting fast enough to classes bursting consider some slower game.
This post reminds me of the Disc priests who press Pain Suppresion on people that are 10% hp, reaction time city
And all the spells you listed are on targets with 900k-1million hp.
You know what a oneshot is? Getting hit for 30k execute in Shadowlands Season 1 when HP pools were 40k. Or a Full moon instantly killing you 100-0 from stealth (Convoke lmao)
If i’m a disc and i see enemy popping nuclear go, then i either press my dome or ps at 100% hp, only time i ever see 10% ps is at 1500 mmr on new chars.
I watched someone die in a gcd earlier from 100%. He used freedom on himself and was dead 1.2 seconds later from a single rogue, shadow evisc hit him for more than his hp.
I think there’s an exploit with the shadow portion of eviscerate going around. The general public still doesn’t seem to know how it’s done, but most probably the abusers were waiting for the team to go to Christmas vacation to start using it
The new talent trees, combined with the tier sets, make it so that a little increase in strength becomes insane, simply because there are so many modifiers. And this outshines the armor and stamina you get from better gears.
So I don’t think the 3 to 5% nerf coming from the trinket nerf is important at all. I am expecting it (burst) to get worse as people gear up more and stack more crit / mastery etc.
boomy does not = feral , you just train feral entire game and kick his clone and hes going down , weak def cds , squishy , easy to connect to due to outdated mobility compare how other melee can connect , slow feral down to force him to shift to waste gcds and simple pve him down and you win , boomkin has unnerfed frenzy regen in bear heals for full ammount meanwhile feral has like 25% healing nerf in bear , after the agi nerf its rare to see 200k bites , pre agi nerf i could easily 350k bite but after agi nerf i cant kill anyone anymore as feral so i just left feral and went hpala
Maybe you’re right though, some specs can start crafting mastery gear to squeeze in some more damage over the next couple of weeks, but pretty much everybody has full 486/489 gear or will next week.
