with all seriousness we all knew what’s going to happen to starsurge in p2, now it’s time to balance it, 35lvl druid critting for 1k around seems legit
or at least give warlocks instant chaos bolt
p.s. nerfing hunters won’t fix it

Ele shamans, shadow priests, mages, rogues. In a few weeks melees going to start melt faces especially warriors but no I guess boomkins are the new hunter… This cancel culture gotta go, especially when overwhelming majority of the game doesnt even know how a certain class works what are their strentghts and weaknesses.
Non crit starsurge hits arouns 400-450 at max lvl with best possible gear atm. You dont have any crit talents, we have a new eclipse rune that gives starsurge indirectly 30 percent crit chance for twice AFTER your initial starsurge cast. So basically you have a 30-35 percent chance to crit after 6 seconds of ur first starsurge cast.
Let me explain this to you and all other sheeps once more, as a balance druid if you get 2 starsurge crits u win, if you get 1 starsurge crit its a toss up(assuming you opened on a target otherwise ur dead), if you dont get any crits you lose. Doesnt matter who you are playing against thats the rule of thumb yeah thats the boomkin class design. We are THE glass cannon in sod, we were in p1 we still are in p2. With almost no defensive toolkits in our arsenal and certainly no other offensive spells especially in a pvp environment we either pray for a starsurge crit (thanks to the new rune otherwise we are doomed) or we simply die. Even with good crit RNG u cant survive so many classes when they open you.
Anyways doubt forum sheeps that adapted the internet cancel culture would even bother critically think for once in their life time but in case they do thats the summary of the class that you wanna get their only redeeming quality nerfed.

Starsurge is overpowered, therefor we must nerf hunters more

Obviously you don’t know how boomkin works and don’t know his problems but you only know how starsurge works.
When will Bizz start banning whiners who are just trying to stop people from enjoying themselves for a beloved class that has been humiliated for years???
“Blizz nerf the whiners.”

For the guy that says ss hits for 400 dmg yes you are a clown.Starsurge hits at least 500 and seen ctits for 1200 and with 3bsec stun?while being free? Balanced 100%
Ok give every class a spell that can 2 shot every1 ,and ofc make it free, why boomies can just mindlessly dps using no mana,while all other casters have to be careful about their mana?
Yea sure make chaos bolt instant 6bsec cd, also haunt make it hit 500 dmg with 6bsec cd,let’s see then the druids what they are gonna say.
As sp I just 2 shot things it’s not even funny.
This thing gotta stop the game has no skill anymore,it’s who gonna crit first and 2 shot the other.
Either implement dmg reduction to players on certain abilities starsurge mutilate Swd separate from PvE or nerf these stupid abilities.
Another way is to give pvp gear with stamina ,the hp is too low for the dmg classes can do.
Yes don’t nerf druids, just stupidly buff every1 else so every1 can one shot every1 what a great game.

Well it can’t hurt to try!
You are most likely lying with the 1200 crits or somehow the dude had already gnomer gear and some dmg increase perhaps wbuffs and whatnot. with bis BFD gear which we currently have and at max lvl it barely crits for 1k which is still a lot but when u play an abomination of a spec for 2 decades you simply cant make this class works unless you completely change its spells and talents from zero which wont happen.
So next best thing is adding spells like starsurge and eclipse rune. Take away from them and you once again have an unplayable class like we had for 20 years (talking about classic balance druid here). You as a priest 2 shotting ppl vs boomkins 2 shotting ppl are not the same things. You have all the toolkits u need in ur arsenal we dont.
As a boomkin if you somehow magically dont crit twice with starsurge you are most likely dead. Yeah we are THE glass cannon of sod and this is the class design we have. Stop focusing on just one freakin spell and start focusing on the class as a whole if your aim is to somehow be constructive which I highly doubt

sounds like a skill issues, lemme guess you died on open world and first thing you decided to do is ‘cancel’ the class that killed you. You will get far ahead in life with this mindset keep grinding buddy

typical blizzard not trying out anything before releasing the game.
Even the most basic stuff got skipped over, like FFA PVP, didn’t even prevent 2 friends from killing each other over and over at start, how can you not have though of that before releasing? Just proves to me how little this people have between their eyers at blizzard milking firm

Nerf starsurge and buff other runes. Anything but a 42yards,no mana,instant chaosbolt…
What 42 yards are we talking about? You’re late.
Ok I agree, remove all instant attack spells, remove hunter from the game completely!
yes remove all instant spells hitting as hard as chaosbolt.
I will agree only if you give druids blink mage and instant runes on the area as a mage and fear on humanoids as a warlock. Create conditions to fight against rogues, warriors, paladins. then we can talk.
Druid finally stopped being a dummy for beating, and then came rogues and ask to make an easy sacrifice for them. nice.
all what starsurge needs is a casttime. so it can be interrupted in pvp. that would make the spell much more fair.
Mages beeing 1000 HP in Pre Raid BiS, and even less when they get their sets in Gnomeregan (due to minus stamina). Thats a bit under a Star Surge hit! If that doesnt kill them, one of the other 2 instants leaving a DoT will for sure.
Trust me, I dont fear a single Mage when PvPing with my Druid, because not only do they have to cast, their range is as long as mine, they have health equal to my biggest instant and they cant poly. Easy targets, free kills.
All this with a free, 6 sec CD, nuke from heaven.
In case you didn’t know, druids already have attack spells with a casting time. Can you believe it?
Then why would Starsurge even be necessary?
Who uses them when Mana can go for instants as Starsurge is free. There’s no mana management at all. When they dont see you > Free Wraths. When you want to acually duel them > Instants.
currently I am watching a mage game play with full BFD gear and he has 1.5k hp, what are u even talking about? if you decide to get full offense spell dmg gear from gnomer and pvp with them and expect to be OP and tanky with that gear then ur delusional. There is a decision u need to make in p2 as caster either pump in pve and parse 99s or get tankier gear and pvp. Also their 2 strongest dots have 42 yard while ours is nerfed to 36. So they can just dot and blink away and run and btw u are in range of them with ur travel form ur already half hp
You’re a blatant liar, you should be ashamed of yourself.
