    Greeeaaat more buffs for a class that performs really well, meanwhile specs that really need buffs are left behind, except for that tiny buff for Ferals. Blizz and their amazing tuning this xpac.

    WW needed a buff for single target damage, it was the worst.

    Add 8% dmg to a class 1 weak before release show how much time and energy they spent on balancing dps class.

    So - literally dumbing down Arcane PvP...

    Affliction still RNG. Seriously, are your egos that big you can't just give us all 3 souls to start? Even if it ends up giving us 3 souls every time by the first UA cast, this is totally hubris on your part. It absolutely has to have RNG doesn't it. Pathetic.

    Whenever I see buffs like this I know my class is in for a long ride on the bottom of the barrel. I should start grinding hard as fuck on an alt.

    Protection is becoming a fairly well-rounded spec. They can dish it, they can take it...

    Yep WW was the worst not Balance druids who are 24/24 on all 3 mostly ST fights.... and Got their AOE slightly nerfed by starfall not scaling off haste anymore...

    Balance will be 24/24th class in 7.2... Guess we can hope for 7.2.5 or just all reroll.

    Go to max, Balance is higher than WW. Obviously the majority of people don't play at "max" level, BUT that doesn't detract the fact that at max potential Balance isn't actually the lowest ST.

    I mean both bis legendaries for WW got huge nerfs so our damage is gonna be way lower when 7.2 hits. This buff wont even come close to bringing it back to the level it was. So there are really no buffs at all for WW. Just nerfs.

    What, Monks? They got shit on this patch. Same place as Paladins, really. Good enough cleave, worthless in single target. I must admit I'm a little salty that Ret isn't getting a similar buff, although they kinda painted themselves into a corner WRT actually separating single target and AoE. Guess they could revert the unnecessary nerf to Crusade, but they would actually have to admit wrongdoing for that to occur... and it still leaves us with exactly one functional l100 talent choice.

    You know if you actually did pvp then MAYBE you would realise DH does an absurd amount of dmg within few seconds.. all within some easy 2-3 button rotation.
  1. Pwnsolo's Avatar
    Oh yay more DH nerfs. Funny they still havent nerfed Guardian druids in pvp...yet somehow DH get wrecked again. Guardian druid are immortal yet DH needed the nerf......W/E
