Hey.
Just wondering if there is hope for the low performing specs or if they will stay bad for the rest of the expansion?
I really enjoy my current class but it’s extremely bad on big pull aoe, so it looks bad when people are pumping 4M+ and i am much much lower.
I do alright on single target/bosses tho
It just feels like i’m a burden to the group because of this class even tho i like the playstyle, aesthetics and feel.
And this is why Damage Meters are a problem.
You say you’re doing great on bosses, but not so much on AoE pulls.
Well, every class shouldn’t be an expert at everything, IMO.
People are too focused on their performance compared to others, instead of looking at it as a collective effort.
Your teammates makes sure the trash melts faster, you make sure the boss melts faster. Everyone is contributing, but in different ways.
You cannot kill hope.
Or something.
Spec performance is usually a revolving door, changes every major patch. Class tuning, set bonuses, trinkets, the actual design of the dungeons. It will all influence which classes dominate.
Before Prot Palas got a buff they were considered weak, they had a small buff and now every single top run is using a Prot Pala because they do more dps than the other tanks, sometimes that’s all it takes. But Blizzard balances almost exclusively around raiding, which is another reason why sometimes a spec can suck in dungeons and still get nerfed because of raid performance, case in point Fury Warrior.
Keep playing what you enjoy, get better at it in the long run, classes are pretty close to each other, although tierlists are showing something else.
Assa had the AoE nerfed and ST buffed. Nobody gives a flying rats about assa aoe in raids and the st didnt need a buff at all.
Nobody understood the fury nerfs. Not even the raiders. Their balance approach is at best nilly willy and throw a random dice and their attempt at nerfing holy paladin proved this (which they abandoned after getting a massive backlash from all fronts)
Only that this calculation doesn’t add up if the class with bad AoE dmg is also only doing equal boss damage as the others; then they’re back to being a burden.
there is no hope.
mdi are ongoing so for next 2 months there wont be any significant tunings.
basicly just take a break till S2
It’s actually " Hope is a Killer"
Well, that’s a bummer.
What class and spec are you having issues with?
Windwalker Monk
It does some good aoe during Cooldowns or when i procc flurry strikes at a decent moment, but that’s not every pull.
But it’s very clunky to have to set up the AoE with several spells before-hand.
Would be nice to have a more on-hand AoE like other classes
It’s a you issue
No, there is no hope.
AoE burst is still raid viable.
Better nerf Fury (and make sure to hit arms in the crossfire)
About the topic at hand: There is no hope this patch, pray for next patch and that the whims of the devs are in your favour.
