These 3 classes make it impossible for casual players to have the slightest amount of fun. You simply get railed. Regardless of what cd you pop or where your standing you’ll just get railed all day by these things in pvp.
I’ve never seen any classes that need to get absolutely smashed with a nerf hammer more than these the current specs right now.
There are so many problem with this prepatch that its mind blowing.
Calling it right now. Give it 3 months after release of DF and player numbers are going to TAAAANK. Nobody will play this and blizzard are going back to their old ways of ignoring the players.
you say this as if Todays WoW has a larger PvP Playerbase then PvE which it doesnt realistically.
Yes. like every expansion so far, theres a group of Classes which are Overpowered, this isnt new or a first. characters are being doubled in hp pools and More which is Exclusive to the DF Drop.
there are fixes in places. and Nerfs that are happening, all 3 have been nerfed multiple times so far, its Fine to be Slower paced given Priorly just Outright smashing Nerfs generally Causes issues.
Fire mage and Fury warrior back in WoD Prepatch getting nerfed Resulted in them suffering massively during WoDS first raid and being absolute garbage… it reached a Point where Prot Gladiator Stance was the Prime PvE DPS Specc.
prepatch is meaningless and if balancing these classes without completely Destroying them for the launch ruins prepatch abit so be it. Most dont care about Prepatch status and know things will be Whacky AF, its the Actual Launch that means anything.
these classes being OP now. will not Result in More people quittign the game then if these classes are Underperformers at launch im afraid.
I’m kinda new to the game and I don’t understand the argument “prepatch is always unbalanced”. Like how is that an acceptable excuse? We’re not allowed to have fun for a month straight because “It’S pRePaTcH” or what? All they’d have to do is remove that borrowed power nonsense already (at least from PvP) and it would already be a much better experience but no. Apparantly prepatch wouldn’t be prepatch if it wouldn’t totally suck…
First of all… Prepatch… We are basically glorified twinks at this point. There is absolutely no point balancing at 60 unless a class in unplayable/game breaking.
On Beta. DHs are insane goodly with no down sides. They need to tone down their damage if they are going to have such high uptime and survivability. They are also gods in pve so I imagine they will get a nerf via their aura (looks at enhance lol).
Aff locks are absurd on beta in arena/bgs as dots hit so hard. Their insane pressure needs a look at as all locks are tanky which is the right design for them, but the other two specs can be shut down, aff just rots with said tankiness + drain life spam.
Aff is still vulnerable to melee 1v1 though, particularly specs that can shut them down/heal through their dots. Looks at DH, WW, feral and fury.
Demo/destro is pretty balanced on beta tbh. WW monks are fine too.
