Basically sucks, 5% buff to most abilities but not RB, while other classes get like at least 8% buff, then they made some garbage talents possibly useful. thats what i saw.

nerf to DR btw, what the hell

Well, as expect in the end its only minor number tuning. The main (imho) Fury problem Execute phase w/o massacre talent wasn't touched at all. Not a that big surprise though.

It's nice Reckless Abandon was buffed, never liked Dragon Roar. On the other side our Haste was reduced by the secondary stats nerf what might even out and neglect the RA buff when certain breakpoints can't be reached anymore?!

I don't feel like i wanna use the other buffed talents like Fresh Meat or Frothing Berserker after the patch, i'll stick to my standard build. Overall for me 7.1.5. is a minor buff thats it.

RB is included, AA isnt tho. This is the old post of the aura :]

Ye knew they wont deliver us execute phase fix. Thank god im lucky and got ring,,,,

[zeula]

Especially with the changes, for an increase to execute I would probably rather have the helm over the ring. The ring is fine, but at 2ppm the helm certainly overtakes it.

To me its mind boggeling that fury who's already on bottom half gets only 5% while classes like outlaw rogue gets 16% increase and DH havoc gets 10% increase. It really doesnt make sense to give fury the smallest dmg increase of all classes except balance druid 4%(which also doesnt make sense). So to me it's just a slap in the face to only get 5% increase.

Latest sims, if I'm reading these correctly, puts fury on 3rd best dps:

[Fourze]

Because it's a patchwerk sim so we get a really good solid Execute phase where movement doesn't force any dropped stacks like it does on any actual boss in the game right now.

[Kheim]

As it's been pointed out many times simming in general and especially for fury is not a reliable source to go off.

SimC lies It is good to check if an item will increase your dps. But it is horrible tool to compare dps of each specs.

[WildSmile]

Simcraft has a pretty long execute phase on top of being a patchwerk fight so if you look at the dps line graph in the results you can see the final result comes from that.

Countless bumps in the main major Fury thread on PTR and we get no response. I'm gonna be skipping this patch fellas, maybe they'll get around to some actual fixes for 7.2. Not holding my breath though.

In the meantime, I'll be playing on the "other" servers.

[HolgerDK]

They are just keeping up the not-listening that Ion admitted to in some stream.

[Tulair]

with the change to RA, does that value the Unrivaled Strength relic now even higher than it already was? Also, was it confirmed that the relic received the full 7s or did it remain at just 5 even with the talent?

The biggest disappointment (which we've knew about for quite some time now) is that they just ignored the broken class mechanics and talents. The numbers tuning is there just because and the talents that were changed are either still irrelevant or relevant, but just as awkward as ever (fucking rage capping yourself with BC, god why).

For people wanting to top the meters - fury actually scales quite nicely with ilvl. We were down at the bottom at the start, but have managed to climb our way to a reasonable spot. I am guessing fury will just get better and better as we approach the 50% haste mark and start getting more mastery in. Look at WW monks as a reference point. They were cream of the crop at the start, but don't scale considerably with ilvl and have now fallen off compared to other classes. I can't back this up with hard facts, but these are my general observations.

They changes are there, it feels like, just so blizzard would have something to put up under the fury section.

Well put.

It feels like the Fury changes are there just so there was text in the Fury section of the patch notes without any real thought going into the changes.

I was looking forward to possibly hitting 50% haste for 7.1.5 or with the T19 set release. Until they gutted ALL the haste on the set as well as revamped the entire stats valuation. I was on an earlier version of the PTR and was very close to the mid 40's % haste mark before the revamp. Once that major nerf hit, it was GG for me.

Since we are stuck wearing the T19 set, coupled with the full gutting of haste on the set, it was obvious we were stuck not being able to obtain that magical haste mark. Maybe someone on the dev team actually hit 50% haste, then realized they made a huge error which resulted in the set stats heavily favoring haste to having all of the haste in the helm. (Which shares the same haste as our Legendary Helm) Was it too good that they nerfed it to the ground? Who knows.

Post changes on the PTR, I saw my deeps drop by a lot and saw the GG sign. Its just not worth it and I would rather just wait to see if they can get their act together for 7.2. As like Diablo 3 with the same developers now, if a Season in D3 sucks you can only just skip it and hope they buff your class for next Season.

I think you guys overrate the 50% mark a lot. It doesnt mean we reach the peak of dmg there, it just means haste loses value at this point and mastery gets stronger. But: before 50%, the stats are already really close to each other which is actually good for us, because the horrible itemization doesnt hit us as hard as arms warriors.

Having played this game since early Beta before vanilla, I have seen lots of changes and lots of reactions to those changes. WoW changes always seem to bring out the Chicken Littles who think the sky is falling. They complain incessantly, make it sound like Blizzard gets off on destroying classes, and then threaten to rage quit. It's tiresome, and the noise tends to drown out thoughtful analysis of the changes. Yes, change can be difficult. We like things the way they are and resist anything that takes us out of our comfort zone.

The truth is, Fury is in a great place in 7.1.5. WM, WB, FB, and RA open up a whole new style of play that is highly competitive, especially in M+.
