417 critical starsurge received
At this point I only don’t reroll because I know it will get nerfed by the time I’m finished leveling
Instant spell from the other end of the map hitting for literally half my hp. A grade schooler could balance this game better under an hour.

Druid mains are the only one defending this lol.

Its amazing how fast the ā€œgit gudā€ arguments qpplied when defending your main, im sure when the wheel of balance spins again. You will accept this response as youve expected others to lol

This is fine, nerf hunters instead. /s

Just got hit by a 1000 dmg starsurge from 50 yards.
Sick of the ā€œpvpā€ in this game.

Nerf lava burst too. With overload it’s insane!

So your defense against your garunteed short CD that you can coordinate, is a ability that requires 2 runes to set up, on a low proc chance.

More importantly conflict with runes such as Sham rage, which is important for mana regen?

A shaman can do this, and aim for this, but unlike druid it will flatten his mana fast. And hed become easy to kill

The cooldown should be higher or the ability reworked, because high dmg low cd instant spam is not fitting into classic. Balance rn is a one trick pony carried by the surge rune. Without it, balance would be a meme, only relying on moon/sunfire and nothing more.

Regardless of this, OP is talking nonsense. If the druid has 42y range on his starsurge, the druid will have normal movement speed. So if the druid is 42y away, he could blink in the opposite direction and the druid will never be able to catch up. On the other hand, a feral with balance runes will have lower range and lower damage (at least with moonfire). That sunfire on feral is problematic in pvp is a different topic, which could be addressed by decreasing the its range in feral form or giving it a cooldown.

Hunter pets kill me faster than Starsurge has cooldown. I’ve no problem with balance druids in a fair 1v1, on any char, but hunters just delete me even on my priest, and priest is already pretty OP. No clue how you can can even remotely compare druids to hunter pets, pets are just on a different level.

Have you heard of Energy?

If you randomly go afk for 20 seconds during pvp i can highly suggest you same thing that helped me: quit pvp forever.
I aim to finish sod with 0 hk in a last phase

We are comparing damage

I find this thread so hilarious… especially the hunters crying about being so nerfed…

Meanwhile my alt hunter without any BFD gear, casually deleted someone in 3 seconds flat… 1 bite, 1 claw and a few whacks and all that from 50yd+ range. Heck, I’d do it from 100yd range too with 0 danger to me as well.

Please nerf warriors.

Starsurge is a really powerful rune to poke you down, as you say, if you let the druid poke you down from range, you can’t win. Either you have some form of mobility and you run away, or you have to turn around and fight them.
Here’s the thing, other than starsurge balance druids have sunfire, moonfire, and wrath. Wrath in pvp is a meme, it barely does any damage and with knockback it take 3 seconds to deal 70 dmg. Moonfire and sunfire are their only other damage abilities, both are dots, and it goes with the slow poke down gameplay. You aren’t dying in 4 seconds against a balance druid. They also have no hard cc. The counterplay to balance druids is to fight them, they’re like little mosquitoes slowly buzzing around you, just squish them. In a dps race, the balance druid loses. They have 1 instant cast every 6 seconds, and 2 dots, in a burst race they can’t win, so either they have to heal, and they are vulnerable to cc and knockback, or they go bear, where they can’t do any dps to you

That’s my Hunter… alt no BFD gear whatsoever… ez 200-300 pet ability hits… 100yd range.

Starsurge op btw… hunters are so nerfed man…

Really isn’t much point in posting a 3second fight picture, sample size is too small.

What sample size?

It’s what pre-BFD Hunter pet can do in seconds. And it comes with 1500HP, 44% armor and +30 resist all to boot.

I can only imagine what actual geared Hunter pet can pull out. But hey dat 200 dam starsurge…


Quite frankly, it’s hilarious - I am sad i did not see pre-nerf glory days, if that is how post nerf looks like.

I farmed rank 3 on my realm over this weekend by only open world solo kills with Serpent pet, here are the numbers.
Lightning breath
150k dmg
862 hits
average 175

raptor Bite
80k dmg
870 hits
average 91

Never had world buffs or class buffs, or elixirs.

The average is always lower, because Kill Command is 1 min CD for 3 attacks only. That’s nobrainer there, buddy.

But here’s the thing - you press one button, and that pet will sit on someone’s butthole forever, for free, even 100yd away if you want to. And that Bite is just one of many attacks pet does very very fast,

So yeah. Hunters are so full of it’s crazy.
