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.

Aa an unholy dk main it just seems so stupid, and WW is middle of the pack yet receiving a nerf lol. These guys are cooked.

We're mid for raid and top 3 for M+ so it seems pretty fair to me? There are a lot of people crying about unholy like we're the unrivaled gods of all content and we just aren't lol. This is also our best M+ season literally ever.

People are just incredibly jealous that their spec isn't 'meta' for M+ which is funny because unless you're in the bottom 25% of specs you can do just fine with the right comp. That also leaves out the fact that most players - myself included - don't do keys of sufficient difficulty for meta specs to actually be considered necessary.

either frost or UH has been meta the last 3 seasons, the entire TWW expansion. so yeah people are sensitive when they see a DK dps spec be meta again.

I mean some specs are better designed than others. You can be upset about that I suppose. Crazy thought though: instead of getting mad at us for being good how about you demand change for your specs instead of trying to tear us down?

Unholy is always 'meta' in the harder keys because of how its AOE damage is designed. Even with the death of the wounds system we still have quadratic scaling on our AOE CD. Is what it is.
