Blizzard

Hey all. As with each major patch that significantly changes class spells and abilities, we review tuning based on live data once it’s live, to look for any tuning issues that may have arisen. Based on that, we’re planning to make the following changes during the next weekly restarts in each region. We’ll continue to pay close attention to each spec’s performance as players progress through the Nighthold, and are ready to make further adjustments as necessary.

Comment by SavayKinda salty about the Chain of Thrayn nerf since I finally had a good legendary lasted for a week.
Kinda amused by how bad Blizzard is at internally testing specs still when people want buffs they're always talking about their own numbers... which never seems to be right.Comment by fouts85Enough with the Prot War nerfs ... I already had to bench it thats just wrong .Comment by Goodk4tNothing on feral druids? Come on Blizzard..Comment by wozziei love my bm hunter no rng no worries lolz tnx god i did wat i liked and not wat was higher on the metersComment by NirrytiNothing on feral druids? Come on Blizzard..Comment by leowowNothing on feral druids? Come on Blizzard..Comment by skittledSo in the new patch they removed Mind Sear, but Xal'atath sill has the trait Void Corruption, which increases Mind Sear damage. Is that going to change?Comment by smoknaintezBlizz can you seriously fix the BM hunter Apex ring, the pet toolbars are constantly tooling out and resetting, completely unacceptableComment by prodftwSo in the new patch they removed Mind Sear, but Xal'atath sill has the trait Void Corruption, which increases Mind Sear damage. Is that going to change?Comment by Coffinboffin8% buff to MM? It's probably help if they had any data analysts with an IQ over 80, as anybody who's looked at the data so far this week from EN/ToV Mythic and thinks 8% is adequate would also have trouble tying their shoelaces. Absolutely the pitifully weak sticking plaster we expected, to be fair.Comment by 66501My BM hunter already was most top of dps and now even hunters got +dps in 7.1.5..
Sounds bit unfair to another classes as ferals druids exampleComment by Kajax11% and 14% on main dmg abilities... this isnt right ;[Comment by Interest

This doesnt even include the new non-sidewinder play style, what makes you guys think that spamming arcane shot and aimed shot is fun?

This is because Hunters have historically been a class that always has something to do if there's an open global because it has filler skills.Marked Shot is a crappy proc-reliant ability that players have little control over.8% buff to MM? It's probably help if they had any data analysts with an IQ over 80, as anybody who's looked at the data so far this week from EN/ToV Mythic and thinks 8% is adequate would also have trouble tying their shoelaces. Absolutely the pitifully weak sticking plaster we expected, to be fair.Comment by iAardvarkI was hoping to see a small buff to Blood DK. The tanks are finally looking O.K. side by side and with some minor improvements to Blood it would've been the best it's been in a long time.Comment by afkomiwaschnPls pls pls blizzard dont forget the feral again.. We underperfom so hard at the moment . And even our set isnt the greatest . I do 100% bracket loggs and im still the worst in dps meter in my raidComment by archonoidI don't remember we players are worried about class balance issues and bugs that much since 10 years.Comment by MoodknightSTOP NERFING ROGUES CMON, ive been the only rogue in like 6 raids groups since 7.1.5Comment by InterestI don't remember we players are worried about class balance issues and bugs that much since 10 years.Comment by ShadowfactsDemon's Bite damage reduced by 2%. Why? That s**t is the worst filler in wow history, does not scale with mastery, yet you nerf it?It is as bad as it was back at release, doing 150k crit damage if you were lucky and wasting a GCD.Comment by stimpypooOmg just when dh's were getting good again. I feel more nerfs on the horizon, don't kill us like you did to dks.
