    I know it's unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but it seems a ridiculous overreaction to completely disable those Eternal Palace raid items above level 50. What about leveling? Why can't they work then?
    At least they fixed the NPC covenant spam, though. That was getting very annoying.

    And still beating then that is.
    I think you are missunderstanding his post. I think the guy you replied to is a fury warrior who did 90% parse and still got beat by decent margine by a unholy who did 49%. He is the 90% one, not the 49% one

    because ever since the thunderfury incident back in TBC they have always been heavy handed to disallow any items from being usable (if not top tier in some niche cases) following into the next expansion, so don't expect this to change any time soon.

    No MM nerf and BM buff? Shame.

    Couldn't give a fuck about parses I don't look at raid logs I just don't want to end up with higher nerfs than necessary and become obsolete for raiding (isn't that everyone's worst nightmare)

    Then it makes sense. I don't need to be ridiculously OP just viable

    You are 100% correct! I changed to sub until assassins get fixed. Standard gameplay is incredibly slow and well, clunky. Still getting use to sub rotation but out of the gate the damage is much higher than assassin.

    and nothing to fix the crapy BM hunter legendary gameplay... damage is not everything damnit, it's NOT fine

    BfA had two crucial points that made the spec work: shrouded suffocation and enough crit to get more CP from fan of knives even without echoing blades. Shrouded suffo should have been baked into the spec to be honest. We'll get more crit eventually but still there is diminishing returns above 25% and no EB so it will never be as much fun and good as in BfA.

    And on top of all of that we got slice and dice which sucks ass and only got a measly 10% energy reg at lvl 58. We'll go through the same cycle as we did years ago of some ability extending snd infinitely and in the end cutting snd and just make its damage passive.

    I'm pretty sure when assa rogues talked about unpruning they meant things like brewing our own poisons or disarm. Not snd.

    The blanket shaman nerf is lame. Target riptide but why everything else lol and healing rain is only ever strong based on raid mechanics

    It would be funny if they reduced tank threat generation by 5% next hotfix. "We went too far"

    Uh doesn’t use blood boil...

    Sham still going to be strong.

    Frost mage; nerfed in pre patch about 2-3 times. Now their sitting at the bottom, and any surrounding dps has now been buffed. Can’t fire for once take a back seat?

    Vengeance DH untouched?

    I hope chaos bolt his as hard as incinerate (with decimating bolt buff) now. Chaos bolt should be out hardest hitting nuke, feels weird seeing incinerate outdoing it.

    Imagine letting shamans be op for one patch.

    Anyone else having a problem with not finding any characters in the companion app after the update?

    They will still be top1 in HPS while having arguably the best raid cooldowns and toolkit of every class. 4% is not enough to remove them from the undisputed top position!

    You are not asking for OP, you are asking for world domination and everyone that plays competitive to reroll shaman as the others are just SO far behind if you combine HPS and toolkit! :P

    Your locale probably got changed from EU to US or something. Logout again and check the account selection settings in the app.

    Thanks a lot!
    And it seems Blizzard should really improve their UX.

    The incorrect locale setting on the login was dimmed, as if the field was inactive - but could still be clicked.
