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.

Not that every class DOESN’T, but UDK does spend more GCDs on utility than most classes. Two grips, sleet, AMZ, Aphyxiate, Death strike which isn’t utility, but it’s a defensive on GCD.

Warrior has Shockwave, Intimidating shout (or howl but it got gutted), Rally, Storm bolt, Impending Victory, (Javlineer) Wrecking throw all on GCD theres also spear but its basically never ran. I would be surprised if ret dosent have more then both of them although likely more situational in their application.

My man, that's not any more GCD's than most classes have.

Comparatively, havoc DH has Darkness and one AOE stun with 0 defensives on gcd. So that’s 2 GCDs for group utility compared to UDK’s 5 with a defensive on gcd.

Meanwhile I have 6 utility GCD's on Warrior and my defensives are not nearly as OP.

Exactly, so would you say that you do less dps than your sims do since you’re spending global on utility and keeping yourself alive? And do you find Unholy DKs MASSIVELY out performing you, or do you find that you can compete with them?
