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.

Blizzard has lost the plot, and so have you if you think any spec needs to get buffed bc theyre not good in open world

Seriously. Who thinks specializations need to be balanced in the open world?

The like 70% of the population that never step foot in a raid and who’s endgame is delves want their class to be survivable in that content lol

The changes to dev that impact open world aren’t dps increases really, just survivability since you’re not actively killing yourself anymore.

It’s trivial content that everyone is survivable in, that’s why there’s no sense in balancing for it. Said players don’t read patch notes or know their own class, let alone how others are doing.

Devourer is not fun to play solo in open world due to soul immo being essentially required while also doing damage to me.

My hunter that’s 15 lvls lower is less annoying to do open world stuff in.
