I just did BfD on my freshly dinged hunter. I doubled the DPS of my nearly BIS Fire Mage and all I had to do was send pet on boss, press Kill Command, Serpent Sting, Arcane Shot and Multishot. I didn’t have any need to manage my mana ( because I don’t go OOM lol ).
It’s ridiculous that Hunter can faceroll the keyboard and do double the DPS of a mage.
Raid is easy so doesn’t matter.
That doesn’t change the fact that physical classes are doing between 50 and 100% more DPS.
All classes faceroll currently, mage included, you are just a little behind the others because of the lvl limitation. Your turn will come and strong.
We must stop believing that only the hunter is easy to play, all classes are, in PVE some even require less micromanagement.
I mean, no, at least Mage has to manage their mana bar. Hunter doesn’t even have to do that. And an OOM BM Hunter still does 80% of the DPS of a BM Hunter because the pet just does most of the work for you.
Look I’m not asking to be OP I just don’t want to feel like I’m a liability. The fact that my fresh 25 Hunter who yesterday was lvl 15 can beat my almost full BiS Mage in DPS is ridic.
It’s not balanced around level 25 and they won’t do much in terms of big balancing changes.
The issue is that melee class are always gonna do more dps than casters because of the spell rank system. Since they rely entirely on their gear. Also we need more spell power gear in the next phases.
What world do you live in where a hunter doesn’t have a mana problem? This is completely false.
Yes and no hunter finds this normal, that the pet is an essential component of the hunter yes, that being spe BM makes the pet powerful to the detriment of the hunter, yes. But the fact that the pet does well over 50% of the hunter’s damage is stupid. But for that Blizzard would have to still have a little talent and dare to review the hunter class from top to bottom.
And it’s totally legitimate, the problem with mages comes from the lvl limitation. Your turn will come in phase 2.
Mage is not a liability in bfd, you can silence kelris for 10 sec, can heal/dps with arcane, living flame destroys ads on last boss, living flame also can heal, you can cast arcane blast from basically 0 mana and so on.
If you want to go pure dps, well, you aren’t gonna be doing very well, but even then go arcane, not fire. Mage just doesn’t have the mana right now.
Why are people bothering about parses at lvl 25… half your kit isn’t unlocked yet.
Considering one class can freely run around while spamming and the other doesnt, by default makes one harder then the other im afraid.
However yes, by rotational means no class is complicated. As we are running on level 25 kits there aint much to its rotation at all
80% of my Hunter’s DPS is the pet and you don’t have mana issues in BFD as a Hunter because fights are short anyway.
Well I’m paying for the game NOW not in Phase 2. Blizzard should fix the balance for every phase not leave half the classes broken with a promise of ‘‘next phase baby’’.
…Please tell me you’re not being serious.
Of course I’m being serious. " They will be fixed next phase " is the biggest pile of BS you could possibly spout in a game. That’s a lazy excuse to not fix your broken game.
Are you so conditioned to playing a broken game that you can’t even fathom people would be expecting something not broken?
For some people “it is what it is” is not good enough man. In fact for a lot of people it isn’t.
…The game mode was literally described as experimental. Each phase is lasting barely any time at all and Blizzard are already actively altering certain things. Nothing is going to be perfectly balanced ever, and right now we dont even have access to a full talent tree.
Then play something else and stop crying so hard. You alone have shed enough tears to hydrate an entire village.
So experiment by buffing the weak classes, why is this so hard to get?
If everyone had this defeatist attitude nothing would ever get done and we’d all be playing Hunters. Your attitude is terrible.
there is a difference between a game being inbalanced, and some classes, doing on average double the dps of others.
Casters have terribad gear all the way until after BWL.
Blizzard seems to try to offer more spellpower stuff, but it’s nowhere near enough to keep up with physicals.
By all rights they should buff all spellpower values on gear by a good 20% the least.
And BTW, it does not help that 70% of classic caster players are complete unga-bunga as far as gearing goes. AH is full of the “wrath” spellpower gear and people still insist using INT/STA blues and such that give almost nothing as far as DPS goes.
I think casters going OOM is the real issue
