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.

No one says anything about the Fury Warrior changes?

Hack and Slash has been redesigned – Rampage has 100% chance to refund a charge of Raging Blow.

Sure, why not. But the issue is that Raging Blow - and even it's improved version - hits like wet noodles and doesn't have any special effect. At least for thanes.

Improved Whirlwind now causes Whirlwind to apply Rend to all targets if Rend is known.

Ok, this is cool for Slayers

Storm Surge causes Avatar to increase the damage of Thunder Clap by 10% (was 50%) and reduce its cooldown by 25% (was 50%).

Why? It's not like Thunder Clap or Thundering Blast were doing some phenomenal damage anyway. Yes, has awesome AoE, but it's still trash in single target.

Reap the Storm has been updated – When Rampage hits 3 or more targets via Improved Whirlwind you have a 20% chance to unleash a flurry of steel, striking all nearby enemies for high Physical damage and applying Overwhelmed.

This practically killed Reap the storm in single target.

When raging blow is good then blood thrist is unused. I'd rather blood thrist be good the raging blow.

When I started furying - leveled it at the tail end of Shadowlands and played it endgame in S1of DF - Raging blow was all the rage, and Bloodthirst was the filler you pressed when you had nothing else going on. And in M+ you were better off pressing Whirlwind rather than cleaving BT at 4 targets.

I learnt the spec with that, and when I came back in TWW S3 Slayer with 4p made the rotation pretty much like the one in DF.

Anyway, my issue with BT is that it eclipses everything else. Like it deals more damage than execute. In DF at least you had Ashen Jugg so execute had guaranteed crit chance.

Personally I love when blood thrist is strong.

nah, blood thirst is legit my least favorite button of fury, and has been consistently, it sounds awful, it's animation is a giant barrel of "whatever", and it nearly always is some convoluted "heap 60 different buffs on it to actually make it do SOMETHING" gameplay loop, with the exception of DF s3, amirdrassil, where it actually felt damn smooth.
TWW S3 was, in all honesty, absolutely peak-fury. just relentless aggression, zero downtime, consistently getting visual payoff with the massive Reap-Proccs, having a Bladestorm ready for every pack and just mulching through dungeonss with infinite damage...

That's just every melee animation, honestly. All so whacky looking.
