5.4 nerfs GoAK for Ret... Most people missed it only stacks to 12 instead of 20

*Guardians of Ancient Kings suddenly remembered they can fly. This would have been helpful to know earlier.

made my day
its fine for pve and for pvp there are much bigger problems with GoAK as stack maximum

Yeah he's pretty easy to kite. Also, while this is totally a great buff, for those who want to mope, you can also be sad about Ancient Fury being very weak now with only 12 stacks.

Old guardian: Ok you pop it at the start of a fight 20 stacks, wait a whole 5 minutes pop it again of boss isn't dead already for 20 More stacks

New guardian: pop it at start for 12 stacks. 3 minutes later you pop it again with wings again 12 MORE stacks for the long fights pop it AGAIN 12 MORE stacks....... with this frequency we will catch trink procs WAY more often. Imagine if we had 3 minute guardian back in tier 14 with darkmoon trink and final orders procing....

So to all who claim this is a nurf you need to run the ptr or just think about it

I don't think anyone who thought about the issue carefully is saying it's a nerf, especially when everyone remembered that guardian in MoP melees very hard, so a great deal of his damage is just his own actual attacks not just the buff.
