My humble advice to the community is not to purchase the 0-50 token service. With the recently announced nerf to Convoke, there will no longer be such thing as a Balance Night Fae Druid. And of course my request for a refund was instantly denied.
“Go try the Proving Grounds and learn the class”… Well thank you very much, I now have a character I paid for that is stuck with an already chosen Covenant that I can’t even switch from (no, you’re not allowed before 60) and that has just been killed with a single upcoming patch next week.
Now, I know you’ll say that it’s what Blizzard does, that nobody forced me to make that purchase, etc., but keep that in mind when you’re spending your own money, cause you have a near 100% to be mislead and then have your refund denied with a template email.
It’s not just Convoke, which basically kills both Balance and Feral… It’s also Restoration, which is pretty much the worst healer when it comes to Dampening in Arenas. The general strategy when I’m playing with a Restoration Druid in 2v2 is “gotta kill them before Dampening”. What’s left off of that purchase then? Guardian? And that’s not even the point. It’s what you pay for vs what you get. And then being rejected with your refund request.
Convoke is still the best option. Things get nerfed that’s how it is. Trying to tell their people to not spend money on something because you are upset over a nerf is just silly.
The nerf only hits pvp.
By the looks of it, it will only be a nerf to what the cast sequence can cast, which will remove some damage from it.
But since it was a % based chance anyway many people will still get killed by convoke and other incoming damage from the boomkins arena partner regardless.
I highly doubt the nerf will fix the 4-5 seconds deletes we see in arena due to it.
Good point, and thats the proper play ofc. Forgot to mention that
Well, OP bought a boost with the idea in mind of:
Omg Convoke is really strong and i want to play fotm in arena and delete my enemies.
Said ability gets nerfed, and now wants a refund.
Doesnt get said refund, so instead of sticking with it and playing said char, OP is “trying” to ruin the income of Blizzard by telling people to not buy a boost.
This is why you should never buy a boost for a class that is FOTM, I swear Blizzard do this on purpose to entice people into buying boost’s “wtf omg look at this Druid,s sick DPS, I think im gonna reroll into one”
Rushes off to buy a boost.
3 weeks later - X abvilitys are being nerfed…
If you are buying a boost it better be for a class you WANT to play because you want to play it not because it has some OP abilities at the time of buying the boost.
Its weird how some People think, I dont get it. Why try hurt blizzard by the boost service? If you wanna make riot go for the subs. Those who buy boost does not only buy a balance druid with night fae to go pvp
Totally contradictiing opinions, it’s not even funny. Now, what do you think about the overall changes and how they would affect Feral, Restoration and Balance. Restoration is pretty much the worst healer when it comes to Dampening. Affecting the whole class.
Not sure why you quoted me.
But the OP is really upset about a nerf to an ability that needed to be nerfed.
Yet he bought a boost for this ability and clearly is a fotm player or was going to be.
Showcasing his “regret” and feeling mistreated because the ability gets the balance its needs in pvp situations. (But overall its still insane in pve for example)
And because of this feeling of being mistreated and feeling tricked into buying a boost clearly shows his fotm attitude.
Not sure how restoration got involved, because there are issues with some healer specs in general in Arena and resto druids arent alone in that regard. And is a separate topic if you ask me.
The contradicting part comes from the original post saying “don’t buy that service boost” to “what’s wrong with buying a boost”, into a “don’t ever buy a FOTM class boost”, which is basically the general point?
As posted by many in this thread;
Dont pay for a 0-50 boost to play a fotm class or specc and just use it to play whatever you want to truly play because the class looks interesting.
Not for the shiny bells and whistles at that moment.
It’s about Balance, Feral and Restoration, not a single spec
