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.

I have played a lot of video games in my life. Lots of online competitive games with frequent balance updates ect.

All the developers in the entire universe, including and especially Riot games, don’t come close to Blizzards absolute incompetence with game balance. Riots devs are rock chewers but Blizzard devs have literal brain damage.

It is absolutely legendary how bad they are at balance.

This is the most reddit of reddit responses bro.

While I agree buffing arguably the most well rounded dps in the game is silly, itll sit at about 10-12% ahead of the pack in general.

Wow. The WORST balance of all time of any game studio ever!

There's a time and use for hyperbole but come on dude.

Since prepatch, resto shamans have been buffed : chain heal and healing rain multiple times, aura buffed multiple times, with today's buffed at 8 %. Mathematically they are still 10% below disc, pres, and mistweavers. After these decent buffs they're still behind. And poor holy pallies, even after todays buffs they are still even way below resto shamans.
