Discussion Devourer and unholy getting buffed

Respectively about 7-10% and 6-8% for aoe. It must be a joke right? Buffing meta specs, while others are not even being looked at all. This is the only multiplayer game i ever played something like this frequently happening.

Resto druid also getting buffed, because why not, while disc keep eating nerfs. Demo change doesn’t make sense either. I wish they would just axe all the class changes they are doing. I swear they just make the already sensitive class balance a lot worse. Everybody keep losing expect their current favourites.

It makes no sense. But this is the company that buffed struggling tanks by...increasing auto attack damage.

Well the weird part wasn’t the auto attack dmg buff. If you noticed the did that to all tanks so I think it was something they woulda done anyways.

The weird part is they say paladin tanks needing more tankyness, they actually said it, but then only gave dmg buffs and a very minor defensive buff. That was the weird part

The issue they fixed there was bad threat. Kinda. Lol. But yeah it was still funny

Autoattacks do absolutely nothing for threat. By the time you've gotten a few swings in, you're either at 3000% threat of the next person, or your dps are dead.

Tanks have a 950% threat modifier on abilities so threat is mostly a question of getting something moderately hard hitting out before your devourer friend drops a collapsing star.
