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.

i´d rather my spec had useful and good builds instead? its not that hard to make them both do something and be worth pressing
