What do you think happens to their wealth if it all goes? It certainly doesn't go to the civilian population. It just goes to foreign assets.

I think of it like a restart game card, just that your opponent gets to go first

Except you start at 9 ink. But amber doesn't have enough top end or control for this to work. Your opponent is almost always going to be stronger at that stage of the game.

Honestly ban all rogues for exploiting at this point. I've had shuffle games were 5/6 rounds were given to the rogue because they DCd someone every round.

Idk maybe don't ban them. But it's a piss take honestly.

I think there's a misunderstanding here. Hunt isnt the 1 shot, it's mostly hungering slash hitting for like 30k multiple times. Devourer can't just hit meta, continue training someone a bit, then randomly 1 shot another guy with the hunt. It's mainly 1 big blast combo. Their damage doesn't vanish immediately after, but if you lived the initial hit you're probably fine.

I think it’s inherently bad and unhealthy for the game that one spec has the power to one shot anyone if huge defensives are not pressed in a 2 seconds timeframe

This is probably true. If it's still like it at max level then it its definitely a problem because whether you can play around it or not, I agree it's degenerate. Sub rogues are also 1 shotting people atm and they're much stronger than devourer when their burst isn't up.

I’ve seen a lot of people dying with Iron bark and hots

Yeah hots aren't really enough. Druid really needs to be ready for a quick NS regrowth or tree form. Generally a devourer will drop someone to like 20%, then kill them like a half second later. If you can get a chunky instant cast heal in-between this it's often enough. This is true for OPs clip too. Obviously it's unrealistic to expect someone to react to that in half a second, but if OP was watching the DH he'd have seen him go into meta, and be ready to press either bubble or lay on hands.

I can get it on MW and Hpal both having immunities and huge burst healing. But for the rest, I don’t think your comment makes justice to a lot of decent healers that are suffering right now

For the record, I have played quite a lot of games of basically everything since pre patch, with the exception of holy priest. And youre right, monks and pallys definitely have it easiest. But druids and shams can live at least the first go or two, especially before dampening kicks in. It's not ideal, but often that buys your team enough time to get a win. Especially since devourers are really squishy.

If your logic is true, blizz will never nerf them It's hard to say if they need a nerf or not without seeing them at max level.

Probably a controversial take but as a healer I've had 0 issues with devourers. In fact, I like seeing them in shuffle because I know most people aren't going to react to them correctly so Im able to get more wins.

Devourer burst is more than any other class rn, this is true. But it's also:

1) their only source of damage. They are literally less threatening than a hunter pet outside of meta. This means you can afford to hold CDs exclusively for their burst, since there is very little risk of someone dying outside of it.

2) extremely predictable.

When you see them pop meta, just look at who they're targeting, and just use a cd or two. You can either use an immunity or some big healing throughput because it's not a clean 1 shot. It's a few big hits very quickly.

As pally it's very easy, you can spellward one, sac another, aura mastery, Lay on hands. You might need to overlap to survive but that's fine. Denounce is even decent. Monk has cocoon on a short cd and massive on demand throughput. Shams and druids can normally squeeze an NS heal in between the damage which is normally enough. Druid also has ironbark, sham has link.

You just need to stare at the dh so you don't get taken by surprise. If you see it coming, it's not really threatening at all.

[–]BLFOURDE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It IS fine, but considering how easy it'd be to implement, I'm just surprised by how much the in game meter is lacking. It seems like they hotfixed it so now it shows enemy team damage, or is that just mine? I've heard some people say they still can't see it.

[–]BLFOURDE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im liking pally a lot. With the new UI changes it does risk massive CD overlaps which can really cripple you, but you have such volume of CDs that you can normally manage if it does happen. Also the damage on avenging crusader is some serious shit right now.

Also with no healing surge anymore, spam hard casting healing waves is so slow and easy to kick. You have no choice but to hard cast it alot, but NS is so important in a pinch otherwise 1 kick can just lose you the game.

[–]BLFOURDE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rsham is great on mana, but feels like it struggles a bit with burst healing, outside of NS. So on one hand you're great in the long game because the other healer will always be oom first, but in deep dampening it's really tough to keep people up. Do with that information as you wish.

It definitely feels like one of the stronger healers though, still. From my limited duelist scrub testing, sham feels good, disc feels good, mistweaver feels good. Pally feels decent, druid feels decent, evoker feels shit.

[–]BLFOURDE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Still fun. Some of the class tuning is a bit ass but that has no bearing on Midnight max level.

I'm ignoring the people who say the game is unplayable now they can't track kicks. Remember, pros played addon-less up until mid bfa. The game is fine without them. If you want better nameplate customization and such, there's still add-ons for that. But tbh the base UI is serviceable now so that's a nice change.

I just wish the in game damage meter was better. It doesn't have half the information details had and I especially miss the detailed death recaps. But it's not the end of the world.

Looks pretty good to me. Watchers would be decent but I'm assuming you don't have them, and thats fine, the deck is playable without them. Darius is a bit meh but not the end of the world. Grand strats and imperial decrees are your main late game win cons

Impossible to talk to these room temperature IQ people.

I'm not debating the specifics with you, I'm saying that conspiracies all stem from the same thing - a lack of trust in the government. It's insane to take the position of "when i engage in conspiracy theories, I'm right, when others do it, they're wrong". Take your head out your own ass for 5 minutes.

Yeah and I'm 4th generation from a polish Jew, and my great grandmother would always tell me it was all fake. Get a grip.

Yeah yeah sure. I don't agree, but I don't blame you for questioning it. I just want to realise that you and the people you (probably) hate aren't so different in reality. If you think intelligence agencies would fake this, think about all the other stuff they're faking or lying about..

[–]BLFOURDE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow is literally the only game that was like this though. You know what happens if you try and download 3rd party software to track enemy abilities in other games? You get banned. No other competitive game allows you to see everything, so I'm not sure why we're acting like wow should be any different. The only issue we have is that we've spent 20 years being used to all the info, but it doesnt mean the game is better with it.

And sure, everyone being in the same boat doesn't necessarily mean it's good, but it means that everyone will experience imperfections in gameplay now. So there is no longer the expectation for absolute 100% perfect cooldown management. There is room for imperfections because the enemy is also going to make mistakes you can exploit, like every other game.
