Dark Legacy Comics #587
DLC #587 has been released!

[Nerraw]

DLC makes a glorious return!

[smaktat]

Alternative DLC topic: raider you haven't seen in weeks undergoes miraculous life change and suddenly is able to show up to all raids.

[Shodan30]

Humm. Is DLC making a subtle comment about warlocks?

[Lulbalance]

That fucking comic is bang on. Not cool with the recount thing though DLC, stop bringing heat down on us.

[meroko]

Ignored a much needed buff for ret and buffed all the other classes in dire need. Fuck this company.

[meumaxu]

Frost isn't at the bottom. Plenty of good frost dk's pulling huge numbers. Quit basing things off what plebs do.

Or you could actually take a look at logs, that's what they're for. I am not a DK player myself, but it's not hard to find out that even good players compared to other good players are struggling.

Nerfs affliction because of top tier ST and cleave and aoe and m+ and pvp performance.
Still retarded warlock community on mmo-c cry with every nerf even when locks clearly are broken and the nerfs aren't enough (see 7.2.5). Fuck you idiot.

[Bigcountry11782]

Havoc
Damage of all abilities increased by 2%.
Demon’s Bite damage increased by 46%.
Effect of Mastery: Demonic Presence (damage only) increased by 7%.
A dev must main a DH cause they don't need this at all.So stupid they already do insane damage lol

For your information, Demon's Bite hits like a wet noodle and is not used in our ST build (= Demon Blades talent). As for the mastery change, we do not know yet whether it is 7% to its current value or a flat 7%. Anyhow, Mastery is our worst stat with t20.

[HeyGuysHello]

Stop with the Affliction nerfs, idiots. Did you even bother to look at our single target now or do you just go by "All Bosses" comparisons on warcraftlogs? What a joke.

Top tier ST ? Not really

[Bormec]

Fists of Fury buff was a mea culpa, for sure. Windwalkers needed some love, Demon Hunters not so much

[Socialhealer]

ROFL those balancing fixes.

elemental shaman single target confirmed fine, i expect top guilds to be taking ZERO ele shamans for later fights where there is no AoE.

just like the last 19 tiers of WoW, never change blizzard be predictable and always stack rogues/locks/hunters/mages.

[Deleted]

Everyone hating on us warlocks when we were garbage whole expansion until NH release LUL :<

[decsis]

Hey look, melees are OP in PVP, let's buff melees and nerf casters!

Fucking blizzard morons. They are fricking out their fucking minds! Looks like when a blizzard employee is born, they always confused the vagina with the anus and they pressed through the backdoor cause they all smell like shit!

[ssviolett]
