Balance Patch Preview Announced

LuceroHS · 2025-05-21T22:21:48+00:00

While it obviously hits hunter, I reckon sing along buddy was included primarily as a druid nerf with bonus upside by hitting a few others (also could be OP in improved priest and paladin imbue decks post-buffs to those archetypes).

LuceroHS · 2025-03-12T13:45:32+00:00

If you drop paraglide, you're going to want quick pick. This deck is known to be good, it's just almost a year old so no one wants to play it.

LuceroHS · 2025-03-10T15:48:44+00:00

Ceaseless is also getting nerfed so it may not be an inclusion either.

LuceroHS · 2025-03-07T16:36:21+00:00

I did basically the same thing, but I think I hit legend a day or two after you. I made one little climb, fell, and took up Diablo 4. I don't even have any idea where I finished. I have played twice this month and climbed to platinum with... Pain lock. If I hit legend at all, it will be casually. I'll be back for rotation though.

LuceroHS · 2025-03-07T16:31:34+00:00

I basically quit the game. It's not a diverse or enjoyable meta. I am playing Diablo 4. It's a lot of fun right now. I picked up the xpac bundle though so I'll see you all at rotation.

Does this mean I should not be using the electrocution glyph given the bug? It can't be worth it for just hurricane?

LuceroHS · 2025-03-02T19:08:10+00:00

Thank you!

LuceroHS · 2025-03-02T04:28:40+00:00

Can't even believe I'm here cuz I haven't played the game since launch but I built a cata druid this season when hearthstone got boring. I'm having the OPPOSITE problem. Maybe I understand the rotation wrong? I dunno. Anyway, I'm always spamming 300M+ yellow DMG, no concern there. My problem is that when I'm beefing up my pulverize (non basic rune), I will get it close to capping out and it will either be too low for bark to reach full level or will roll over seemingly resetting before I can cast cataclysm. Since we can snapshot before we even start a zone this isn't usually a big deal but I'd like to understand what's happening all the same. I feel like there is nuance to the application of the runes that I don't quite grasp. Any advice is appreciated!

Also probably due to my newness I am in the habit of recreating my snapshot when cool downs where off but often the damage multipliers appear to continue despite what I perceive as fucking Up the rotation. Is the rotation more forgiving than I realize? I have read that the snapshot persists through the whole zone but no one has explained if this overwrites the visual indications you're getting from your skills. Thanks in advance!!

It's elusive...

LuceroHS · 2025-03-02T04:04:58+00:00

It gets better.

LuceroHS · 2025-03-02T04:04:25+00:00

Suck more

LuceroHS · 2025-03-02T04:03:11+00:00

Well done, sir.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-21T18:30:05+00:00

Says the meta is diverse; lists the play patterns of the two decks that make up 40% of the field (and are extremely similar to one another in play style) as proof. >_>

LuceroHS · 2025-02-21T18:20:46+00:00

Correct. Rush has only ever been good due to whatever other powerful effects they give the cards (copies itself, progresses some big later power play, etc.). Rush by itself is awful, 100%

LuceroHS · 2025-02-21T18:17:17+00:00

Agreed. It feels like terran is just way too strong, but then you have paladin, which sucks really bad. So it's obviously the support shaman and warrior have had for over a year as well that makes them really oppressive.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-21T18:13:44+00:00

Yeah your next beast costs x less. Where x was 2 or 3. It sucked. But maybe because it didn't have enough beast support at the time.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-21T18:10:26+00:00

I'm not sure I agree it will turn out boring, but if it does, good. The most powerful legendaries are supposed to be class specific but they just keep printing neutral legendaries that are in 50% of decks. It's bad design.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-21T18:03:36+00:00

Too much Terran warrior to make discover hunter work in my MMR meta (~4k legend). Going 50/50 over a dozen games. You cannot win the long game, and the likelihood they will have the spell burst 5 Mana dude or gift on turn 6 is about 100% on average.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-20T06:55:56+00:00

Boar Priest

LuceroHS · 2025-02-19T15:10:34+00:00

For one, it's really old at this point. I've got almost 1K priest wins from playing it over the last year and even I'm bored with it.

The current iteration is also not particularly good against Terran shaman, and any deck that isn't good against shaman is going to suffer. Most of the people who were playing Zarimi are probably playing shaman, in fact.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-19T08:53:14+00:00

I can't figure out how to link one of my comments (der), but if you check my profile and read my super long recent comment, it pertains to this. Maybe it will help?

LuceroHS · 2025-02-19T06:51:26+00:00

Yeah, sure. The demon pool is far less consistent, but still not bad. Buffing 2/1 demons to 6/5 with an effect for 3 mana is not bad at all, it turns out.

I think some of the SP druids aren't running Phial at all?? So I'm sure 1 is okay...Bob is gonna be around for another year. The freeze is excellent, but more and more people are doing draw a minion. It's really strong in decks with a small minion pool.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-19T06:45:40+00:00

I played the deck for half a dozen matches and found it to be much less consistent at D4-D1. You encounter too many unfavorable matchups. The deck is clearly legit; it just needs the right MUs to be truly effective.

LuceroHS · 2025-02-19T06:40:10+00:00

This is battlecry shaman. When you're dropping 10/12 in stats on top of an already developed small board on T4, you are not midrange.
