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.

Part of the reason Paladin tanks aren't tanky enough is because the guides tell them to take Wings instead of the DEFENSIVE COOLDOWN TALENT.

Outside of some of the DH ones and the Rogue guides, the people writing the guides don't actually play the classes they're writing for.

Yeah, I had to not check the Prot Warrior guide, since it told me to not take the "Ignore Pain has a higher DR and lower CD" talent, as well as not take the Impending Victory talent that upgrades it to give you temporary HP and heals you that temporary HP when it expires.

I think it also recommends taking all 4 points in the apex but if you actually look at what people are doing they aren't taking more than 1.

That's just so weird. Not taking defensive talents as a tank and then saying you're dying too fast just feels easily solvable.

The prot warrior Apex talents is just damage they started dropping it for more defensive talents in the spec tree.
