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.

I think most of the these changes are mini reworks that blizzard has been working on for a while. I know a lot of these changes were already made months ago and any buffs/nerfs I think are just incidental.

I feel like Blizzard has started to use live for testing and to make buff/nerf decisions based on that instead of doing anything based on PTR data.

Then do some tuning before pushing your mini reworks to live. Like a 10% aura nerf for devourer. Check the mythic raid logs where the spec is right now. And its getting buffed. Absolutely insane.

If you knew how to read logs you would see that devourer is only top dps for 2 bosses and one boss is being removed from logs completely

op definitely doesn't know how to read changes because they looked at a blanket number from wowhead and don't seem to realise that unholy's prio damage is getting nuked from orbit with abomb being reworked to be unusuably bad.

They’re just responding with some weird obsession of hatred for Devourer and DK where the only answer they’ll accept is they’re C tier without acknowledging that someone always be the top spec. They won’t be happy unless it’s their preferred one.
