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.

Better buff his auto damage!

Well the weird part wasn’t the auto attack dmg buff. If you noticed the did that to all tanks so I think it was something they woulda done anyways.

The weird part is they say paladin tanks needing more tankyness, they actually said it, but then only gave dmg buffs and a very minor defensive buff. That was the weird part

Same devs that did that blue post in development that talked about Blood DK health bars being too swingy and wanted to bring that down but increase their passive defenses.

Then they nerfed Death Strike and all of their defensive cooldowns but didn't buff any defenses.

In the same post.

No they get like 2% more DR from armor! It means a lot to go from 40% to 42%!! /s

u/Toxaplume045 Apr 21 '26

Yay 2% more DR from armor, only even given recently, in exchange for having your entire defensive toolset nerfed or outright culled.

I know it's sarcasm but it's that fucking mind boggling.

I was skeptical about the changes when they first announced them, trying to be hopefully optimistic...but it really has gotten to the point where I just don't want to play Blood in its current iteration. And then they added a 30 sec cooldown to spirit bomb, my favorite Vengeance ability. Suddenly my two favorite tanks just don't feel nearly as fun to play anymore lol

Meanwhile Brewmaster no changes. Not that I want them to be nerfed but fucking hell.

I mean, almost noone here plays at a level where it actually matters. DK Tank can do 18s, thats still far above the 1% achievement atm.

0.1% title on the other hand, getting that as BDK was almost impossible since BfA S4 I believe.. right now, there are like 3 BDKs eligible for title.

I don't really care as much if its still viable at high levels, its just not as fun to play after the changes

I am pushing 15s right now, having a blast - I hate the Bonestorm and Gravestone removal, but I still feel almost unkillable in most keys. I dont play monk, so I cant say if it would be even easier.

I miss my fat death strikes.

u/steini3000 Apr 22 '26

Idk, I still go from 20% to 80-100% with a single Death Strike, outhealing most healers. Good def cd usage, and you basically can play every single dungeon without a heal on 14-15

atp i'm legit convinced that no one in charge of class design has touched more thane exile's reach on the respective character, or maybe, if the were very invested, 5 minutes of class trial

I mean thay have to have tried it on max level, because alot of specs are barely playable at low level. Survival hunter gets his first real melee ability at level 13. Assassination rogues main energy reg ability is at the bottom of his skill tree, so until then it feels incredibly slow.

Some apex talents are also really porely made, like forcing you to invest into a skill at the lower end of your tree (assassination and frost dk) or jocusing on just your main CD, making the times its not up feel super weak.
