Chaos Wave MASSIVE hotfix nerf

[Deleted]

And i was about to start doing pvp on my demo lock... shit.

Considering people were quite literally getting one-shot by it during Blizzard's own Battle.Net arena Championship, it really isn't surprising. No sympathy.

Be happy that you didnt spend days gearing and lots of golds for gems and enchants just to see blizzard annihilate your class.

Pathetic piece of shit people that works on class balance. Thats nothing new though...

Yeah, i guess... but i'm still bored and don't know what to do now, destro can be funny in bg but in arena, this just suxx.

Warlocks has no spec anymore for competitive pvp. Dont even bother with warlock until they fix the damage theyve done.

Go roll a mage. That class will always be overpowered no matter what.

Wonder how much it'll hurt PvE AoE.

Not at all. On Wind Lord, you MIGHT get a chance to cast it and have it not be a dps loss because of the MASSIVE Fury cost, but pre-nerf, Immo Aura was more damage and a better use of the Fury. Double stacking HoG with Meta weaving for the travel time buff was always more dps.

In pve we don't care about chaos wave, we use hand of gul'dan instead, with the dot it's more powerfull than chaos wave and cost only mana.

33% without any compensation anywhere is just stupid. Don't like this at all, Chaos Wave had a nich role in PVE that we are now totally without. And don't even mention PvP. I hope we can get a full list of hot fixes soonish, cause I'm VERY curious what else they changed to make sure we're not the only gimped class in PvP.

So much burst has no place in the game.

The game is not fun when you can kill someone in 3 seconds.

It's not even viable in arena anymore haha like the aura nerf and chaos wave pretty much ripped it in half; Either you go destro or none at all. Affliction in pvp isn't fixed / bad.com

[beatnological]

demo is still the best spec but does way less dmg than it did before

Actually its not even best spec anymore, aff/destro are better now, and imagine how sad that is. Sad because how shit they are at higher rating.

Don't be expecting a full revamp. People are also saying they've nerfed CB too, and I haven't heard about any other class getting nerfed. Looks like yet another normal day, Locks getting nerfed while Wars and Mages are doing more damage and staying the same.

so we should get rid of that burst but still let healers full heal someone in 3 seconds. See the problem?

When it comes to raiding Chaos Wave was very rarely used so I see no reason to complain. You'll still be able to rape your lvl 90 400k health mobs with it.

So sad, but unfortunately true. No matter how hard peopel cry for mage fixes, they usually get something minor changed and frost burst left almost untouched.

A balanced game is better for everyone and this issue had to be adressed. How can people even acting suprised?

CB was nerfed at the 5.1 with GoSac, before it was something like +25% damage and now it's a stupid 3sec dot.

Please don't tell me they nerfed it again...

[Crashdummy]

Not really, healers will go oom if they keep full healing people. Fast heals costs a lto of mana, and long heals should never be casted against a good team.

Healing was already nerfed, when the matches are decided in seconds you have a problem.

Again, killing someone in 3 seconds should have never happened by any class, ever. I am amazed at how many times Blizzard makes this same mistake.

Everyone knew this was going to happen, just like Warriors knew they were going to be nerfed before Blizzard said any word at all.

This game is far from balanced and the annihilation of demonology just made the game more boring instead of more balanced.

Alright, glad to see Blizzard taking pvp balance a bit more aggressively than making us wait for major version patches, as we had to with warrior tyranny.

Several of our losses this week were to mediocre warlock teams and involved this silly move, so hooray for needed nerfs.
