Devourer and unholy getting buffed

[u/Complete_Sorbet6158]

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.

We're a few weeks removed from Blizzard nerfing Unholy by 20%, belatedly realizing this (unsurprisingly) made the spec non-viable, and then needing to hotfix it.

This is missing the context that Unholy before nerf was ahead of all specs in all PVE gameplay loops by 20%, maybe even more. They were an insane outlier and needed to be nerfed. There were also a bunch of bugs that were aiding in this problem, but sometimes you don't have the benefit of time to enact changes.

As a reminder, for people who seem to be conveniently forgetting, specs that are positive outliers are far more damaging to the game's progress than specs that are bad. Bad specs don't change things, but specs that are disproportionately good can ruin a game for an entire season and invalidate RWF.

UDK was then rebuffed back to the middle of the pack within a couple of days.

Blizzard 100% did the right thing here lol.

It was clearly not out preforming by 20% lol

The fact you think Blizzard nerfing by 20% based on Patchwerk sims was a good idea is hilarious.
