would be great if the frequency of large aoe dmg events could be adjusted.

wasnt the goal of healer nerfs that the hp pool will not deplete so fast?
yet we are having lots of dmg events in dungeon under +10 that causes the whole group to take more than 100% dmg followed shortly after by another event that does the same. all those events are then on a 30s or so cycle.
to counteract those dmg events you need healing cds, which some healers have more of and some have less. certain healers e.g. holy priest are just trash by design as everything is just heavy aoe nowadays and prirst has basically 0 5 man aoe healing

If only there were a beta.

In what world should you be tuning a mobs damage down by 66% or fixing a boss combo’ing an unlucky player with an overlap?

I’m glad you’re fixing it, but the problems should have never happened in the first place.

Why don’t you balance it before the release? Don’t you have beta testing?

Why are you overtuning content in the first place?

Where is the fix for SoB boss being pulled by a trash pack?

Normally I expect this kind of thing after they do the Mythic+ event thing that they show on Twitch and such.

Like someone mentioned above, why didn’t they know and apply these “tuning” things when the game was still in beta? Especially since they have all that data from the testing that I can only imagine hundreds of thousands of people took part in and all the posts made on the different social media platforms that Blizzard is meant to be actively reviewing for “community feedback”.

Thank you Blizzard for some sensible changes, unlike most the class balance changes, I have no objection to anything listed here.

What bothers me is that these changes clearly come from logs of dungeons, like the class changes came from logs of raids, so why didn’t you use the logs that were generated during alpha and beta to discover something that needed a 66% nerf?

Perhaps next time you are making a new patch, or expansion, instead of giving alpha/beta access to streamers who’ll use it to promote themselves, and do nothing that actually delivers beneficial data to you, you should use actual testers.

I’m of an advanced age, but I never really understood why Blizzard is using streamers as they do, Streamers get their audience regardless of whether the game they are playing is new, or old (I’ve seen people stream games from 30 years ago that have thousands of viewers), and just take the offer from Blizzard as a way to promote themselves.

any chance of prolonging the cast time of frostbolt nova and making it more visible? i know it´s not hard, but finding dps able to kick two different casters at the 2nd boss in NW seems like even Herakles would have suffered defeat.

Nice, what about NW 3rd boss? Real noob slayer

Fix bm hunter in dawnbreaker, ship fights! Pets r slide on ship cant reach boss, cant find path cant attack they r useless. Idk what should be done, turn off wind lol But atm is very unplayable. I hared boomkins also have issue on last boss.

fix orb spawns. for example last boss in boralus they spawn in the water and no chance to collect them!
