How Big is the FL Nerfbat gonna be do you think..

[Deleted]

Hello

as we know Firelands and Firelands heroic are being nerfed like a baws next week, but I'm just wondering by how much? will it start off with a slight nerf and build every couple of weeks say? or will they just slap a 10/20% nerf instantly on everything and just ride the wave of tears..

couldn't find any similar threads (maybe because people couldn't care less) so just thought I'd gather peoples opinions

I've been wondering this a lot too, I wonder if blizzard will keep what they changed a secret or if they will come out with a solidified list of changes.

[Resentful]

Probably a nerf to the mechanic's in most cases, and another double nerf to Rag likely on heroic.

~Shakes head~

Whatever

So big that totalbiscuit will subscribe for 1 day just so that he can cancel his sub and complain about how easy content is that he never did.

Are we talking about the nerf to "easy" difficulty for LFR or just some general nerf that often affects each tier after it's obsolete?

If it's the expected nerf then I think it'll be similiar to what we saw before, longer CD on certain abilities, critical abilities in fights will do less dmg etc.

Now what I would like to know is how they'll create "Easy" difficulty from today's "Normal".

I lol'ed.

But seriously, I think it's just going to be 5% Damage and Health nerfs every couple of weeks.

[Sevaara]

Well, I'm guessing it'll be the same as all the other pre-patch nerfs which is what.. 20-30% nerf on boss HP and damage done right? Every patch has had that before a new major patch comes out with the exception of 3.3.3 which did it in reverse and over time I guess?

Either way it'll suck :/ working real hard on Rag H atm, should be a kill in 2-3 raids and it'll probably get nerfed to hell before we manage the kill.

No. Blizzard have announced that they're going to start nerfing Firelands, week beginning tomorrow, so that people can finish off the current Tier etc. It's almost like the nerf that affects each tier as it's obsolete, just that they're going to do it before it's obsolete.

I dont think so, somehow, when they done it in icc they didnt class it as a nerf just a buff

Unfourtnantly I do think its going to be a 20% straight forward nerf to all health and damage, followed by most mechanics not one hittin people, keeping it in trend with the nerfs to bwd bot to4w

[Arrashi]

My bet is ICC-style stacking buff, like 5% every 2 weeks till it reach 25-30%.

Agree with this post, and its nerf to heroics mainly

If it were to keep in trend with the BWD, BoT and Tot4W nerfs, it wouldn't happen until 4.3 hits. Instead, we're getting the nerf with a couple of months to go, which is why I think it'll be gradual, like in ICC, just that they'll nerf bosses instead of buffing us.

[mitbrandir]

I personally think they gonna bomb it instantly with the full 20% damage , health , etc nerfs , just as they did that with t11.

'Lord Rhyolith no longer has legs.'
Yes/no?

All the FL heroics, except Ragnaros, were already easier than the T11 heroics. I don't see the point in them already getting nerfed, though I guess the farmraids will be easier. I'm hoping they won't nerf Ragnaros again for a while so we can kill it while it's still hard (to some extent).

The tier 11 heroics were alot worse than what Ive seen of firelands allready, my guild basically lost 12 weeks of raiding by being on a dead server, so to now finally get together a proepr team on a new server now that we've transferred is a bit of a kick in the bollocks.. I do hope its only 5% to give us a bit of an accomplishment, to nerf it by 20% would kill my enjoyment quite a bit i reckon, theres a few in our group that only play for loot and they have said they will be quite happy, but to people who like the actual progress its a pain in the ass.. blergh..

I hope it's this.

I really can't see them slapping a huge blanket nerf on everything, there'd be too much outcry. A stacking buff/nerf would be fine by me - or at least more fine than a huge super-nerf would be.

There was an announcement that next week FL will get a nerfbat like T11 received in 4.2.
It's different from LFR ezmode.

I'm guessing it will be 20% nerf - less HP, less damage, longer cooldowns.
Ezmode could be the same but 40-50.

[Impurath]

I think it will be ~20% instant nerf.

[Azshira]

Im eagerly awaiting a big blue list of nerfs and exactly what has happened on front page tomorrow. It proably will be 20% dmg and hp nerf aswell as some other mechanics changes.

This is an example:

Bethilac damage and health reduced by 20%.
All spiders in the fight also have a 20% reduction.
The time between drone spawns has increased, the time between spinner spawns have increased after the inital few.

That's an example.
