Season of Discovery Class Tuning - 11 January

What should they do? Keep pets who do better DPS than some classes? Would be nice, fi some more would maybe go into the melee version or the Lone Wolf rune.

What playstyle does relying on pet damage make?
If anything pet should have never been main focus, hunter kit is already quite fun, what they should have done is make it more fun, not make some pet do damage while you eat popcorn at distance.

no one is , they and warriors should be brought back to the fold like they did with hunters at the start and buff the classes doing 30% less dps

Paladins have less honor than sewer rats it seems, what gap closer are you talking about, mr utility oneshotter?

Lol sweet rage :slight_smile: calm t1ts bro ( if you are a bro even given kind of outburst ) lol
Anyway even thou to crit for 500 in pvp u have to have buffs ,bis And green cloth gear from Ah walking around on 2 backstabs hp i agree.
We need same treat as hunter, our power is put in a single ability.
1- range of star surge from 42 ( talented ) to 36 talented
2 - damage of star surge 20 % down
3 - damage of sunfire and moon fire TICKS 30% up
4 - wrath damage 10 % up

Result - u dont harass ppl from the moon , you dont rely on a single spell to get kills and u perform better in pve.

its nice to see blizz launching a success story from back to the future
guess things didnt go that well since 2004 eh ? learn from the past and strafe away from money 
then you can have your own dedicated customers

You had to go back in time to make this game alive again that says a lot
in2005 i was r14 and 5th eu naxx clear 
19 years later i came back for those memories.learn from your mistakes. you turned this game into a casual friendly money making machine.fix it i have high hopes for this altho i came back just for the memories.

“edit” stop emailing me promotions and offers. if your game is good i ll buy it anyway

p.s d4 sucked you can keep the 100 bucks.

A very good start. Further nerfs are probably going to be needed to priests. But its a step in the right direction.

Not the best solution because leg runes are still awful and chest runes have no choice due to HotL.

As I’ve said before, change the Kill Command rune so that it’s an active ability and not a pseudo-pasive that you use every 60s and barely adds 5 DPS while not working properly with a specific pet (although this could be interesting - to have pet families benefit differently from certain runes although the idea it’s not well implemented right now).

Then do the same for the other runes: revise them and adjust them as necessary.

Hunter and BM in particular need to have a more involved rotation: we have to interact and enhance the pet and not just be an auto-shot bot.

This change doesn’t do anything. The game play is exactly the same and most pets and families are still not viable.

If PvP is a concern, as these changes only happened due to that, then apply an aura to pets to reduce their damage to players by a specific %.

But pets will eventually have to be re-buffed no matter how many nerfs come, or they will be useless at higher levels. Wasn’t the point of SoD to shake things up? Perfect balance being unachievable is one thing but enforcing the very same play styles that have always been there is a mistake.

I hope phase 2 brings actual good changes to hunter. Please, consider this feedback!

I think this class tunning shows two important things:

  • there is clearly a Hunter dev
  • they just hired a Priest dev (actually that might be the same Hunter dev as he just started playing Priest because SoD is taking too long)

No one else is doing dev work on the other classes.

Run, we are doomed.

People see numbers, they think it’s a good change. MM rune buffs literally nothing, nobody cares about chimera shot and it’s only 25% buff. Nobody cares about explosive shot anymore it’s AOE and we don’t need it for this raid or over world farm. BM is still the best rune out there and it’s nerfed heavily. There is no compensation here, it’s just straight up nerf.

I really hate how they make changes based on dads with 25 wives and 45 kids. They are crying on forum all the time while having like 1 hour of playtime each day. They think hunters are the only problem. Mages goin WC boosts with one single pull and heal themselves back up at the same time, better nerf hunters. Druids can hit like a truck from stormwind to orgrimmar range, better nerf hunters. Rogues rocking dps in raid and destroying in pvp if they open from stealth, better nerf hunters. Warlock tanks can 1v3 in metaform, better nerf hunters.

It’s crazy how hunters getting nerfed. Hunters are absolutely nothing without a pet and this dads with 38 kids don’t know how to cc pets so they keep dying and crying. Every single player I encountered during my over world farm, always cc my pet and then kills me easily.

And now we got nerfed even more because of some unskilled dads crying about it. I dont know what to say, literally butchered since launch. At least give us old explosive shot back that would be a way better compensation than this one, this is not a compensation it’s just a nerf, we will be using bm rune as always as it’s the only choice.

Not enough of a nerf for hunter. You should also implement that every hunter needs to manually reload his weapon

But only with a special item that you can buy from an NPC that spawns in 55+ zone once a week.

On lvl60, that NPC will be removed from the current game and placed in the upcoming seasons.

Great. Far too late with the Priest nerfs but at least they’re coming.

Priests are disgusting and have been for weeks.

When do rogues and warriors get a nerf?

Rogues and warriors are the most broken class in classic, if they dont see huge nerf later on its gonna be fun to see the outcry :slight_smile:

20% is significant. This may help with the premade situation. Shows that Blizzard likes to sit on problems that even they can see for way too long though

Hunter pet nerf not severe enough by far
