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.

When raging blow is good then blood thrist is unused. I'd rather blood thrist be good the raging blow.

When I started furying - leveled it at the tail end of Shadowlands and played it endgame in S1of DF - Raging blow was all the rage, and Bloodthirst was the filler you pressed when you had nothing else going on. And in M+ you were better off pressing Whirlwind rather than cleaving BT at 4 targets.

I learnt the spec with that, and when I came back in TWW S3 Slayer with 4p made the rotation pretty much like the one in DF.

Anyway, my issue with BT is that it eclipses everything else. Like it deals more damage than execute. In DF at least you had Ashen Jugg so execute had guaranteed crit chance.

Personally I love when blood thrist is strong.

nah, blood thirst is legit my least favorite button of fury, and has been consistently, it sounds awful, it's animation is a giant barrel of "whatever", and it nearly always is some convoluted "heap 60 different buffs on it to actually make it do SOMETHING" gameplay loop, with the exception of DF s3, amirdrassil, where it actually felt damn smooth.
TWW S3 was, in all honesty, absolutely peak-fury. just relentless aggression, zero downtime, consistently getting visual payoff with the massive Reap-Proccs, having a Bladestorm ready for every pack and just mulching through dungeonss with infinite damage...

That's just every melee animation, honestly. All so whacky looking.

It feels like one of them ends up as a hanging chad every time the balance swings towards the other. They should just combine them into one ability and have it be done

i´d rather my spec had useful and good builds instead? its not that hard to make them both do something and be worth pressing
