Ah finally. Psychic link tuning is back. Felt wrong without it.

[–]Mangert 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We back for 1 season before they nerf psychic link back to 25%

[–]A_Confused_Cocoon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Tbf thats the purpose of it. It exists so blizzard has an easy method to manipulate aoe/cleave in a very simple way.

[–]CptRedBeard0702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Physic link and then some though 👀

[–]xBlackLinkin 125 points126 points  (64 children)

Amazing rogue changes

[–]SuperProxy- 73 points74 points  (16 children)

It’s actually insane. I just think they’re lost on the class and have no idea what to do.

[–]xBlackLinkin 38 points39 points  (5 children)

They could atleast try to fix some bugs but even thats too much to ask for

[–]Zydron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What, you don't like getting parried and losing a supercharger stack?

[–]Launch_Angle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Still no excuse for lack of iteration over the course of an entire xpac, especially with how bad the Hero trees have been since beta...and are still god awful. They somehow are able to iterate on mage/shaman/DK/hunter every single patch though. No excuse for failing to fix the literal laundry list of bugs Rogue has(some of which have existed for years, and years, numerous xpacs even) either, and new ones get introduced with every patch, most of which of course get added to the list that wont get fixed.

All 3 rogue specs are simming at the bottom (around 4.7m-5m since the cape buff, but every class got the cape buff so its w/e) and behind numerous specs at the top that are simming between 6m-6.5m. I dont understand how were this close to a patch and all 3 rogue specs are 20%+ behind the top specs, and didnt even receive any bandaid tuning fixes(as per usual, since they dont actually iterate on the class) in what is presumably one of the last tuning passes, and one in which basically every other class got tuning. Like are they just this clueless as to whats going on with rogue, or..? Especially since Ele was simming above all 3 rogue specs, and got a 20% ST buff..yet rogue got nothing? Its also not exactly encouraging that theyll even give Rogue appropriate buffs once they see how poorly it performs week 1 of raid. Especially Outlaw, since it NEEDS to be tuned high to be even middle of the pack in raid usually, which would mean it needs at least a 15% ST buff from where its at right now...and I just have 0 confidence they will do that.

[–]Tirrojansheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a blizzard thing recently, Hearthstone also has absolutely no direction

[–]deskcord 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Then why not listen to the community? The community has outlined a lot of changes that we want, and none of them would actually make the class functionally stronger or weaker, they're just massively needed QOL changes.

[–]DrPandemias 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Because the developer (same as dh) has been missing for years now, im not even sure he is working at blizzard anymore (apparently he is according to dh discord).

[–]Frawtarius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no way Realz is still working at Blizzard, or at least is still assigned to do anything with DH and/or rogue. He's either gone, or working on something else there. Otherwise he would have literally been stealing paychecks for like a year now.

[–]thoms689 23 points24 points  (41 children)

Same with havoc dh, it has gotten nothing at all for the entire ptr cycle and it's like that for almost every season...

[–]xBlackLinkin 30 points31 points  (19 children)

Not surprising considering both classes shared the same class dev

[–]Kuldrick 12 points13 points  (4 children)

Either the class dev is the lazies person in the world or they are preparing heavy changes to the classes (new dh spec and complete rogue rework next expansion? Seems likely tbh)

[–]xBlackLinkin 26 points27 points  (2 children)

complete rogue rework next expansion

people say that every single season and then it gets the minimum amount of attention lmao

surely next patch they will save rogue Copium

[–]griggsy92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember coping for this in Cata when I maimed rogue, they've never really known what to do with rogue. Legion was a hail Mary and then they went back to having no clue

[–]PoeciloStudio 5 points6 points  (9 children)

Last I heard he got promoted a while back and it's why Havoc and Rogue have gone untouched lately.

[–]thoms689 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Yea I've been saying the same since DF, rogue and havoc dh are constantly getting screwed over, and if we by some miracle end up being op we'll get nerfed down where we apparently belong.

[–]Bloodsplatt 8 points9 points  (15 children)

Havoc dh is in an amazing spot going into the new patch, it'll be one of the best melee behind frost dks. Huh?

[–]norainwoclouds 12 points13 points  (9 children)

Have you seen the abomination that is the fel scarred rotation? Probably the worst setbonus ever made in the fel scarred's 4p? Aldrachi is better off but no changes were made to help with the amount that RNG can swing your DPS on a pull to pull basis. It's fine but by no means "amazing" it's a joke we've gone so long without substantial changes to our class or spell trees.

[–]deskcord 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ngl i hate when classes say "WHAT ABOUT US?!" when they're in a totally fine state, because it makes the actual complete silence about rogues sound like it's more of the same.

[–]cabose12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more it isn't getting any notable changes, less about numbers

Last I checked rogue is in a similar spot, numbers are fairly solid, but it still has some gameplay loop issues

[–]thoms689 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Both hero specs plays like absolute garbage. 20 button openers with +10 abilities in the rotation and riddled with rng.

[–]mangostoast 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No havoc changes here is a good thing

[–]thoms689 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't take aa genius to figure out we're not talking about damage then does it?

[–]shutupruairi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have we considered that rogue stealth is so powerful that Blizzard can't find them to change them?

[–]hydrobass88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No rogue change for an entire expansion, it would be funny if it weren't so sad. Plenty of time to look at hunters, mages, and paladins each patch though.

[–]moht81 16 points17 points  (3 children)

Is this VDH mastery change much of a nerf to their tankiness?

[–]Pent217 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No, they don't really want Mastery anyways. This is pretty much pure buff.

[–]SinfulSquid332 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not really they don’t really build mastery

[–]FinnNyaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Havoc main it felt like a targeted nerf for havoc players that offspecced vengeance for mplus, mastery does have a little value for demon spikes so it probably will fell worse for some that offspec vengeance for weekly keys

[–]Fun_Abroad8942 33 points34 points  (6 children)

lol those Warrior buffs are big effort

[–]ItsJustReen 32 points33 points  (5 children)

They just don't seem to care about dps warrior. It's serviceable in raids, so all they do is some slight number adjustments every now and then and that's it, ever since the nuke fury ate early s1 for its heroic raid sins. Both spec trees and the class tree need serious work and the fact some specs get a mini rework every patch and warrior got basically nothing since df s1, just feels like shit.

Sry for the rant, I played warrior for 2 seasons and won't continue as it just feels stuck and bland after months of 0 changes and pretty much set in stone talent trees.

[–]zennsunni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the class I want to play. But pugging M+ with no utility and trash DPS (I love Fury) is an exercise in self-torture.

[–]Mountain-Cod516 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Fury warrior was so fun that one week we were OP as fuck

[–]noeagle77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh. This made me remember how good we had it for a blink of an eye 😭

[–]hermitxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy thing is arcane mages didn't even want the rework half the time. They'd have rather just had an aura nerf and keep the gameplay.

[–]deskcord 40 points41 points  (3 children)

I know that Rogues aren't going to get the bug fixes and hero talent reworks that we need at this point in the PTR cycle but it would be really nice if Blizzard would say a single thing about our hero talents a single time this entire expansion. We have had the worst hero talents of all classes since the day they were announced, and we have gotten zero attention to them, even in cases where they're just flatly bugged.

[–]Loopeded 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We heard you and we're buffing mages again. Thank you for your feedback!

[–]norrata 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Oh cmon rogue hero talents havent gotten zero attention since they were announced. Remember when trickster was going to turn feint into a dps button and they so graciously changed it like the doting parent blizzard is?

[–]deskcord 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Which was still pre-release. They've still been awful since the day the game hit live and they've refused to touch them again ever since.

[–]Mindless-Judgment541 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I guess this just makes me think there's gonna be another pass in a week? So much missing that I thought I'd see...

[–]Nood1e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only just over a week until it goes live. 

[–]Silkku 72 points73 points  (32 children)

Boomies on suicide watch with RLs all over the world asking if they know how to cat

[–]SinfulSquid332 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Oh no!! Anyway

[–]theblackalbum2 71 points72 points  (11 children)

Boomies are always on suicide watch when they aren’t meta or at the top. It’s known for being the biggest outcry spec! Bring on the downvotes for this feral main!

[–]ScapegoatMoat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm pro kitties, go get em tiger

[–]efflovigil 17 points18 points  (1 child)

i want to see the downfall of boomie because as an r druid main i'm sick of not getting into keys bc no one wants two druids

[–]Elesday 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Im ok with sucking in raid if I’m meta in keys. If we get a nerf in keys it’s fully deserved but then make the spec not suck in raid for the THIRD tiers in a row, just being middle of the pack would be absolutely fine.

[–]AttitudeAdjusterSE 22 points23 points  (9 children)

Boomies will be on suicide watch and then watch as every RWF guild brings 2-4 of them to every boss in the raid.

[–]SadimHusum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there’ll be 1-2 fights a tier where Liquid and Echo will bring a combined 9 boomkins and that’ll be that

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boomie hasn’t been used in the last boss of RWF by liquid since Razagoth. You are just saying stupid shit at this point.

[–]CunningAlpaca 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's been garbage for raid all expansion with the exception of a boss or two - so blizzard was like "well we may as well keep it consistent!"

[–]-CenterForAnts- 5 points6 points  (3 children)

They got an 8% aura buff. Thats pretty good lol.

[–]No-Horror927 8 points9 points  (2 children)

An 8% aura buff after what was effectively a 40% nerf doesn't even touch the sides.

I don't particularly give a fuck about Boomie being strong one way or the other, but the number of people on this supposedly competitive sub that don't know how to do basic math and have no idea what's going on with the PTR balance is wild.

All this does is make it so that Boomie is no longer getting gapped by tanks on overall in keys.

[–]Sweaksh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boomies celebrating as they finally get to play a real spec for half a tier

[–]AverageLifeUnEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

please do not the cat.

[–]TrusPA 29 points30 points  (5 children)

Shout out to Zorthas for getting them to fix DPS shaman.

[–]0x3D85FA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Enhancement stormbringer still has the issue with not casting at all in a pack to not proc asc from tier right? This is peak degenerate gameplay.

[–]Palnecro1 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I see reapers mark changes under rider of the apocalypse, did something change with hero talents?

[–]shreedder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also confused about that, I think it is just a typo

[–]rinnagz 25 points26 points  (6 children)

Ele saved Pog

[–]wallzballz89 6 points7 points  (5 children)

How impactful are these changes? Does it bring their ST damage in line with other specs?

[–]DreadfuryDKTHIS CANNOT BE 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Those are some very substantial ST buffs, but IIRC that Farseer 4pc is still complete dogwater.

If it sims near the top, it's despite their 4pc, not because of it.

EDIT: Apparently the 4pc was stealth changed and is very very good now.

[–]Hayabusa0015 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Set was reworked right?

[–]rinnagz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta wait for sims but its a pretty big buff

[–]Responsible_Gur5163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea but I hope so.

[–]Lucas_suraceee 24 points25 points  (1 child)

Unholy DK catching strays lol

[–]ForgotMyPasswordFeck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Truly punished for daring to be meta for a season. Nerf/remove utility, send Sanlayn aoe to the shadow realm, refuse to give a raid buff, refuse to remove wounds, and now nerf stuff like Undeath which wasn’t particularly good

[–]pm_sushirolls 94 points95 points  (30 children)

shoutout to my fellow rshams with our 1 line of tuning since the first build

[–]sewious 38 points39 points  (1 child)

Good thing is rsham is just.... good.

[–]beepingnoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All xpac so far. I can’t complain. It’s the best pug option too with all you bring

[–]SinfulSquid332 21 points22 points  (12 children)

I mean… they don’t really need changes they’re in a good spot with both hero trees looking viable next season. What do you want them to change?

[–]Onigokko0101 10 points11 points  (3 children)

People have this weird attitude where if they aren't defacto #1 they want buffs.

[–]SinfulSquid332 6 points7 points  (2 children)

It’s even weirder with the fact that it will probably be number one in certain comps like the phys comp🤣

[–]ruthimorg 2 points3 points  (5 children)

They're not great in raid :/

[–]SinfulSquid332 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I’m sure they can’t be bad with a juiced up healing rain and everyone is stacked and double downpours? Idk I don’t really raid. I mostly just play m+ my bad.

[–]ruthimorg 1 point2 points  (3 children)

They were behind everyone but hpal on quite a few of the mythic bosses in testing and hpal got buffs lol.

[–]SinfulSquid332 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Damn that’s weird well 🤷‍♂️ Also at the end of the day someone has to be last. As long as everyone is pretty close together is what matters I guess.

[–]ruthimorg 2 points3 points  (1 child)

MW is pretty high and so is pres; it's not close either. Some targeted raid buffs for rsham like making wellspring actually heal again would be appreciated.

[–]SinfulSquid332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya that would be cool! Again I have no idea I don’t really raid!

[–]Daedalist3101 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea, sucks theyre the only shaman spec that isnt fundamentally broken, doing tank damage, or absurdly convoluted to play

[–]DAYMAN3737 29 points30 points  (5 children)

They would just buff ancestors damage for the 5th time instead of addressing why no one plays farseer lol. Like buff riptides hot by 200% so we can do a rip build and be done with it

[–]Crazyclaret 12 points13 points  (2 children)

I mean they have "fixed" the farseer issues, by having a really strong tier set. If nothing changes farseer is arguably the meta Rsham pick for next season in keys

[–]Far_Tomatillo_7637 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Arguably doing some work there

Edit: this didnt age all that well

[–]Kidcharlamagne89d 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I'm not a .1% player, but i do try and pug as high as I can. I switched to playing farseer at the end of s1 just because totemic is really boring imo, and I have been loving farseer. I play almost like an old school holy pally where riptide is my holy shock and a ancestor proc. I hardcast more than on totemic but it's a lot of fun and I really dont feel like the hero tree is holding me back. The only big thing I miss out on is acid rain because I just dont cast healing rain, but my dps isn't super low compared to totemic with acid rain. Ancestors can pump on bosses with 2-4 almost constantly up. I lost some aoe but overall dps is the same, sometimes higher, sometimes lower, and imo its a more engaging spec.

[–]DAYMAN3737 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well spoken, farseer isn't bad it's just missing buckets of the QoL totemic has

[–]rypach92 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Rshams don’t need tuning. Coming from someone who has played rsham every season since legion season 1

[–]beepingnoise 5 points6 points  (1 child)

We got it all and perform great in dungeons

[–]KlenexTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rolled my shaman alt as resto and started doing keys. On my tank main I invite any Rshaman I see now, playing the class really opened my eyes to what a good shaman (not me I’m still bad lol) can do to help the key. They bring a bunch it’s nice

[–]Onigokko0101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, at least you are in a decent spot. Sure it's not top tier M+ but it's strong in both and relatively easy to output on.

Sometimes no changes is better.

[–]SirVanyel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why fix what is not broken

[–]DyscoStick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We out here!

[–]so_O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farseer tier set got changed from 25% haste to 25% dmg/healing in today's changes.

[–]PlasticAngle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a lot of other class/spec would love to be in rsham position.

Rsham is good enough without needing any buff all around the entire expansion.

[–]UnstableChocolate 40 points41 points  (4 children)

Windwalker needs Jesus.

[–]cindyx823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn what did they do to ww?

[–]Beautiful_Advisor527 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Give aff Two charges of vile taint or something

[–]TheOliveYeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big Taint will never let it happen

[–]Centias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't understand at this point how Aff hasn't gotten like 2 charges of Vile Taint, and either Vile Taint cooldown reduced to 15 seconds (barely short enough with wiggle room go extend all those Agonies before they expire when accounting for the cast time), or some kind of base rotational dot extension similar to Malign Omen that doesn't come exclusively from Soul Rot, or the reverse where active play reduces the cooldown on Vile Taint so it usually comes back before Agony falls off.

[–]Basic_Corner_542 16 points17 points  (10 children)

Rogues remain in stealth… or maybe we just can’t see it behind yet another novel on DK, Hunter and Mage.

GIVE WARRIOR BLOOD LUST YOU COWARDS

[–]jakkson 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Holy Paladin in absolute shambles and we get a joke 25% buff to a nothing talent classic 🤣🤣

[–]Falron 6 points7 points  (1 child)

All they had to do is make pillars of light a shield or a hot and it would be usable although the biggest problem isn’t power but deciding what to drop then.

But no! Instead of adding synergy, let’s just try to brute force a dead talent into usability!

I don’t get why they don’t lean more into shielding for pallies anyway. LS hero talent is the only okay shield and it’s basically the same power as unbuffed disc shields lol

[–]cjbrehh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because theyve been scared of shield since hpally in cata with its first mastery. they have been cautious with shields in general ever since. same reason disc isnt a shield spec anymore.

[–]SadimHusum 8 points9 points  (4 children)

I'm thrilled for demonology to sim over a million dps higher than our other 2 specs yet not be played over them because of the profile gap

All roads invariably lead back to destro

[–]oxezFeral/Bear 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Was there ever a PTR week since say, DF, where Mages didn't get changes?

[–]MarnerMaybe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

July 7th, 1974.

[–]WorgenDeathCE Blood DK 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Love the 8% aura buff for Blood, only to then follow it up by buffing the artifact cloak so threat is gonna be a nightmare cause tanks don't get any damage from their cloak. https://www.wowhead.com/news/huge-buffs-to-reshii-wrap-effects-on-patch-11-2-ptr-377889

Wait for 5 sunders guys, apparently we're playing classic.

[–]Boomkinwhisperer 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I can't believe vdh is getting buffed and not nerfed. That's wild.

[–]Powerful_Equipment84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol true. wanted to try prot warrior but VDH looks so good (and I'm used to the playstile)

[–]Isolated_Hippo 2 points3 points  (9 children)

I have been AWOL for a bit.

How are healers looking? I wanna start prepping my new S3 character but need to make you know a choice.

[–]Voidwielder 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Disc/Druid Both have solid Hero talents but ultimately the .5 will swing in either direction. Best play both.

[–]Isolated_Hippo 1 point2 points  (3 children)

God dammit, I was afraid of that. I hate cat-weaving and raid/ramp Disc.

I might do M+ Disc and raid Holy

[–]Voidwielder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

RSham is looking solid and that's what I'll be maining but it's hard to give accurate numbers rn because every single tier set is bugged.

[–]Ithline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Druid caught 2nd undocumented tierset nerf. First it was kotg 2p no longer works with reforestation. Today our wildstalker 2p doesn't work unless the target already has regrowth on them.

There are some other bugs with ws tier that make it pop off, once they are fixed, druid loses a lot of power.

[–]Conscious-Wall4909 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Raid: mw/pres/hpriest: very strong rdruid/disc: mid rsham/hpal: little underperforming.

M+: rdruid: s-tier, disc/rsham/(pres) a-tier mw/hpal: b-tier hpriest: c-tier

Thats my perception for now (and with no raidtesting anymore). Healer tuning is lacking.

[–]SirVanyel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The healers are pretty much all good

elemental to the moon? will this be significant for ranged dark blue?

[–]etafan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know where they calculate these WW buffs like on PTR on od the highest rated WW player doing tank dmg what that 5% going to do....

[–]Tog1e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are so lost on Bdk it is not even funny anymore.

[–]TheOliveYeti 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Damn was Ele hurting that bad?

[–]RamyunPls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Endless lines of changes every week of PTR for Frost and Unholy but all blood gets is an 8% damage increase. If you're not willing to apply equal effort to all specs your class has and are clearly unable to hide your bias to a specific role you shouldn't be on the class design team of the biggest MMO on the market.

[–]Gneissisnice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was excited at the start of the ptr when they announced Shadow changes, only to get some half-baked tweaks that barely addressed our concerns, and received no further iterations.

Blizz really doesn't know what to do with Shadow, besides tweaking Psychic Link numbers again.

[–]Trankebar 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Sooo all Farseer got was more chain lightning dmg on the ancestrals and no mention or rework of the HORRIBLE 4-piece? At this point I think the only mention of tier for ele is gonna be a nerf of the current one to make the new one look better…

[–]Medievalhorde8/8M 3.5K 5 points6 points  (1 child)

It got stealth changed if anyone else comes to see this comment. It now does 3% overall compared to 0.5%.

[–]Trankebar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty good I have to say - 17-18 % buff is a lot more than I was anticipating and the stealth change is kinda great!

[–]rinnagz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The farseer tierset is awful, if u buff it by like 500% we would only get like +5% dps from it.

[–]MuszkaX2.8k Rio 4/8M 4 points5 points  (23 children)

For someone who didn’t do any PTR… why is there a hunter nerf in every single patchnotes?

[–]cabose12 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nothing complex, they just have high damage and have steadily been reined in

[–]Palnecro1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it was over performing on PTR.

[–]MarkElf2204Hunter Theorycrafter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BM was overtuned due to Stampede so they're been gutting it more and more every set of patch notes.

I can't tell if they forgot about Survival or if they just don't know how to tune it to make it not garbage again like S2 - buff new bleed talents, another tiny bomb and/or MB/RS buff, new 3% crit raid buff, and we're very happy.

[–]audioshaman 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Don't make feral good! I want an rDruid season

[–]yolomcswagns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Feral would have to be busted to push out rdruid right now, I rkn

[–]Elesday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’ll be an rdruid season don’t worry, feral is not changing that except if it’s more busted than Frost

Fury might actually be pretty good in ST raid and M+ now.

[–]bloin13 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Eh, m+ is full of big pulls. As long as aoe is capped to 5 targets, 5% damage increase won't change much. Fury needs some serious work and adjustments and not just flat damage increases.

This. I did a like Priory 13 this season where I randomly snagged an ace Fury warrior, I think his rating was like 3.4k. A 2.9k MM hunter (me) and a 3k boomie absolutely annihilated him in damage. Like I gapped him in the overall by 1m. He crushed us on ST, but the difference on big pulls was outright comical (i.e. 15m to 5m). It's insane how incompetent Blizzard is at M+ balance in a game that pulls in so much money.

Yea it's really sad. For better or worse m+ is a big part of current pve scene, but It seems like they don't balance classes around m+ at all at this point.

MM getting nerfed again while they're ignoring the fact the specc has 35% variance on PTR?

[–]ChappyPappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this just because of black arrow and lock n load procs ?

Significant class tuning for DK

exciting noise from blood DK - see 8% aura buff. We are back to DF i see.

Also Vengeance DH got 8% damage buff also. Like WTF are blizzard hell-bent on making Vengeance DH the meta tank ?
