Priests are getting nerfed heavily. Shadow is having shadowy aspirations nerfed to uselessness, and the strength of all their offensive spells nerfed by 8-10 percent. Congrats, they won’t be nearly as ahead of everyone on niche mythic fights... but you made them even worse in PvP and mythic+.
Disc is also getting nerfed heavily, with their atonement taking a hit, again. I mean seriously they’re supposed to be the healer that heals by doing damage, you’re making them worse at that because of a meta for a single raid?
WW is getting hefty buffs. A class that is already strong in PvP will be made even stronger because they’re *check notes* middle of the pack in mythic raids.
But here’s my favorite... they’re buffing the high noon Azerite trait. This is a trait that resto druids (the kings/queens of mythic +) already use, but because they focus all their balancing on mythic raids nobody cares about, these devs are actually buffing the best healer for mythic + while continuing leave the other healers in the dust.
I say blizzard should stop balancing around elitism (mythic raids) and start balancing around content that the majority of people actually do.
