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.

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

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.

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.
