Lore just said "We intend to address it in PvP." Regarding the affliction buffs.
They will most likely fix it like they fixed barrage, like "Agony now deals xx% of the damage in PvP combat".

So guys calm down a bit .Please note that the following class tuning changes are still in-testing.
Yeah... they have proven before that they fix broken things from testing until live etc... oh wait...

One can only fucking hope so. These changes are ridicolous to have even been applied before "addressing" it...

Don't fuck with Shamanism when it comes to Buffs, this tuning knob probably fell off considering how many times Blizzard turned on this one.

The amount of people in this topic that wants the game to be balanced around 2s is too damn high.
Proof:
1) Asking for shadow priest buffs currently highest representation in history, multiple R1 viable comps)
2) Crying about hunter buffs (worst DPS class representation an almost worst overall representation, only beating monks which is the least played class in the game)
3) Crying for ret buffs, which currently sit at 0.4% representation.

Literally the only reason they even type that anymore is so they can get away with it. They have shown time and time again that the first iteration is the launch iteration. Regardless of whether it is almost universally hated, time allocated to change it, or if they even like it themselves. Want a good example? They devastated the warrior class both on arms and fury. They had 6months to undo this mess. They even said themselves multiple times it wasn't their vision. Yet here we are. over a year later, with the first iteration.
"its beta"
"its ptr"
"not final"
bullshit.
Where's the Holy Pala dps nerf???
These aren't pvp buffs, they just buffed a load of crap that has no influence in pvp (dragon breath damage?) or a bunch of dots. PVE changes.
the people complaining about warlocks must be hunters
Hunters cry about any class you throw at them.
I've stayed out of arena and RBGs this season and I've been having a lot more fun.
WoW ain't worth taking seriously. Season after season of being disappointed with changes and just not understanding their direction, I found it far easier to just let it go.
>Elemental
>Buffed
Please tell me more how this will change anything. Mastery's our worst statistic and an abysmal 11% won't change anything, and the cooldown reduction on Ascendance is a 3% damage increase at the most. The only thing it really does is force us to use Elemental Mastery which is a horrible way to do things.
Still waiting for proper buffs.
