    FotM or Too Soon to Tell?

    Seems like a couple classs lost some of their dominance via nerfs (Frost DK) and others got richer. What do you guys think we’ll see as the new top played specs for melee and ranged? Or is it simply too soon to tell?

    I don't know but BrMs now fold like paper.

    No they don't? They had a slight nerf to Stagger, ~3% dmg staggered which is hardly "fold like paper" levels.

    According to wclogs frost DK is still top tier dps. Demo locks shot up to top tier and survi hunters look great as well.

    On the other hand arms warr seems to be the biggest looser (great changes again btw blizztards).

    Affli got wrecked too. So now it's terrible to play and does average damage.

    Still too early to tell with the current level of gear

    You'll only tell when the new season start and people get their hands on the new Azerite armor, 3 more traits will be a huge dps boost for everyone, gotta see which classes will benefit the most.

    There's certainly a whole lot of uncertainty while we await new traits and the always reliable hotfixes that come in the weeks following every patch and raid release, but that doesn't mean the data right now is useless.

    Indeed, but actually it's not uncommon to find people at forums losing their s__t when they get something like a 3% nerf.
    BrM are still very much alright and so are BDK's too, even though they are a little bit "more in the same line" with other tanks.

    monks are effectively unchanged, all that happened this patch was they widened the gap between monks and the rest of the tanks

    its a huge difference. not numerically, but in practice. Obviously you dont play a brewmaster or play in an environment where the difference is very apparent. My healers sure notice.

    whats interesting is they didnt touch bdk more or less. was meta, stays meta. /shrug

    Obviously you dont play in an enviroment where the difference is very apparent. Healers sure notice. Bdk got pretty substantial nerfs. They are meta for their utility in grips and cr. They are spikier than ever now, less likely to pull off big pulls. BrM can compete.

    A 9% nerf to one move is not "wrecked".

    I don't see much changing to be honest overall for now.
