Appears to me yet another mindless buffs and nerfs that will only make me skip playing pvp this next week as well. I will juts cap vault.
You guys are trolling.

When are you gonna buff Ferals and Enhancement Shamans ? Like, we play the piano here and nothing happens of all these 12321 buttons we press theres very little effect especially in ferals healing departament.

blizzard refuses to properly nerf fistweaver in this expansion lmao

4

No, it did 18% bonus damage, now it does 12% bonus damage. Which is a 50% nerf to the bonus damage.

5

I understand the want to make each healing spec feel unique, but I just hate FW personally.

I havn`t seen any HP in pvp yet… :thinking:

10

Yay, bye :sweat_smile:

11

Where is shadow priest for PvE? We suffer!

12

Fistweaving got a nerf overall.

13

Hey, im maining one! 1,8k cr solo queue

14

while in PvP combat is not mentioned. Is it a PvE nerf as well ?

15

No PvE tuning?

16

Inertia was nerfed from giving 18% DMG to 12% DMG, so they will deal 6% less DMG.
Essence Break would deal 65% more DMG in PvP in will now deal 50% more DMG in PvP that’s a 15% nerf to DMG.

All of these are nerfs. No buffs.

PS:
This might not be enough. I’ve seen 360k Elysian crits, this will nerf it to 300k. Essence would hit for 150k now it will be something like 125k? Death Sweep still hits for 200k. Fel Rush 100k. You’ll still be able to wombo combo 80% of someones HP if you just get a crit on something. And let’s not forget these skills are AoE. Demon hunters for no reason also have a ton of DoTs that all hit for like 30k+. It’s weird that DH DoTs hit just as hard or harder than DoTs of classes like Feral. :smiley:
