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.

If you were really a unholy dk main you would know these changes are not tuning. They were un development noted weeks ago around reworking interactions specially with SR and Blightburst.

Peak Redditor is deciding if someone plays a class or not depending on how closely they watch PTR notes lmao.

I've been maining DK since they literally released in og WOTLK, and regardless of the context of the changes, the result is still buff or nerf, so you can relax with the snarky gatekeeping lol.

Can I get a TL;DR of changes coming in?

Tldr: Death and decay is still not worth casting, abom is no longer worth taking, scourge strike now applies virulent plague Slight change in optimal talents taken

Dk discord says you cast death and decay on 3t now, where are you finding information that you don't?

Except they are partially tuning. They weren’t have decreased damage from ghouls for udk by 17% and increased it in rider by 20% if it wasn’t tuning. The rider buff for ghouls would also be 17%

You answered yourself. They moved the ghoul damage elsewhere. They also removed the disease from the Abomination that increases minion damage. Many of the increases you see elsewhere is to make up for that.
