For M+ or Raid, why would you bring any other spec outside of buffs than Havoc and Rogue? You wudnt.
Their damage is obscene even at lower ilevel compared to others. Maybe you can put BM Hunter into this bracket too.
These 3 seem to have some sort of cooldown available for every mob pull in dungeons and are never dependant on cooldowns like say Unholy DK has been.
If you dont need specific CC then there is just no point.
No downside to playing Havoc DH at this point. 2 Interrupts, strong frontload but also damage over time, can facetank spitefuls, silly mobility, brings debuff and aoe defensive.
Your balance of specs is just horrendous.
Enhancement can sometimes keep up but unless you want what they bring, you hardly see Druids in either damage specs bcos the profiles are SO dependant on cooldowns and damage is delayed by atleast 5secs due to certain things need to be active first - in which timeframe Rogue, BM or Havoc can do 10-20-30mill dmg in the same timeframe.
Why even have 20 DPS specs across so many classes when the game is centered around only 2 or 3. Its actually unfathomable how little devs cant see this themselves and they make this an issue every season in every expansion.
‘Learn from previous mistakes?’ No f that, lets just keep doing the same dumb stuff we’ve for years n years.
balance really is bad these days. always 3 top specs and if you don’t play them you experience a whole different game. there are some specific reasons like raids buffs to bring one from each spec but for example there’s absolutely no reason to bring an elemental shaman to the raid lol. i think every class should have a big extra so people would want to bring them
I think you tend to forget that average player is bad these days. Rogue/DH/BM may be able to deal the most damage in both contents, but the players playing them no. Most of the players representing these classes lack the basic knowledge of the game, so in most cases, they play their classes at 40-50% potential.
This season being the easiest to climb to 3-3.1k made the meta issue even deeper, because now you have all sort of players having +24s and listing them, when they have no idea why a class is meta, and what they should do with it.
Also compared to what was in 10.1.5, this is 3 times better. You have at least more tanks and more healers that can do that content. The only reason why aug stays there, is the fact that it offers the extra vers + shields + armor to the tank to do higher content, as starting from 24s, there are bosses where some classes can’t survive the mechanics, no matter how they rotate their cooldowns. But in terms of average player so far, aug is not even meta, as for lower keys, what he brings is not valuable anymore.
You cant really blame blizzard that the majority of the player base looks at the top .1% keys and expertly conclude this comp is a must for 5s and 10s… or a random tier list video from youtube or wherever they get these expert ideas from.
Their class balance is if DH rogue warlock hunter is op lets nerf shadow and make it unplayable. And not listen to the player base. Thats all am gonna say about this joke of ‘‘lack content the called farts on a rock isle’’
not pretending am just saying we arent even useing anything in our toolkit mind games sucks Halo is like a dps lose having to cast our Dps increase for 1 second is like dumb.
Having to give our dps increase away (pi) without even getting anything back for giving it away besides the same effect. Is like effect lose sadness.
having 3 buttons on the spell bar you dont even cast since you need to keep mindbender active and dots makes the class boring.
You can 100% blame the devs. Its their job to make a good product, not one where you cater to the lowest iq and only let 15% if specs be really enjoyable.
The fact they made ANOTHER Strength-class legendary when theyve already had multiples shows they are out of touch with their playerbase.
If you’re not going to prune specs with 3 choices down to 2 like DH fx, then you gotta make them all interesting. We saw with talents in early DF they had no idea how to balance them out - Druid got released 3 months prior to DF and was dogsh!t and yet it took them months to just make half as good as others.
Its 100% the devs fault for making a poor product.
