Comment by Fah87not enough. needs a lot more nerfs.Comment by 1932661too much. needs a lot less nerfs.Comment by DhrallThis is obviously not sufficient, but I’ll gladly take any PvP adjustments that moves toward balance. Nerfing the 25% buff by 20% means that their damage during BW is not 125% but 120%. Probably an overall nerf by 1-2% to a spec that together with feral has the craziest, most unavoidable single target consistent pump in the game. Doubt it will make a difference.Comment by Apmac20% BM flat pvp nerf ? 20% nerf to damage output in pvp, how broken was this and for how long ?
This doesn't sound serious.Comment by L0RDANELThis is not a "20% nerf to damage output", this is a 20% nerf to a 25% buff from their burst ability, so basically it's a 125% --> 120% on burst and nothing else. And yep, this is not even close to serious, that's quite a meme.Comment by Draekenuncap outlawComment by Lobo720Why is this even a thing? BM is only good in 2s, which don't matter. All this does is mildly satisfy people that take 2s seriously, while nerfing the class in content that matters - where they already struggle. What am I missing?Comment by TigerusHol' up Blizz. Don't get too quick with all those changes.Comment by DecervonWhy is this even a thing? BM is only good in 2s, which don't matter.

What am I missing?Comment by InfamThis change is kinda weird in my honest opinion, I dont really think that people are actually saying "BRO THIS BM HUNTER JUST POPPED BESTIAL WRATH AND ONE SHOT ME", whereas I have seen people saying it about hmm lets see
- Ret Paladin with Avenging Wrath / Seraphim
- WW Monk with Bonedust Brew / Spinning Crane Kick
- Arms Warrior with Avatar / Conqueror's Banner
- Sub Rogue with Flagellation / Shadow Blades / Shadow Dance
- Asssassination Rogue with Vendetta / X Cov Ability
- Fire Mage with Combustion

I think this change is likely a good change for pvp as a whole and its a good step in the right direction but all the comments saying "Not enough" are probably just people playing around 1600 in 2s who are tired of playing into Resto Druid / BM hunters, which I will agree, this change will not be enough for you to just automatically win into this if you are struggling right now, but to say that this change isn't enough and then look at the ladder and see 10+ ret paladins and warriors who had never been above 2500 in their life randomly be at 3k right now while the same Hunters and Ferals who have been there for years are still getting counter comped by Ret War and being sniped by them being there and saying that its busted is just absurd.Comment by SeganoWhere are the Warrior nerfs? They are still trampling over everything, 1 out of every 4 DPS glads are Wars...Comment by Lobo720Why is this even a thing? BM is only good in 2s, which don't matter.
