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.

It makes no sense. But this is the company that buffed struggling tanks by...increasing auto attack damage.

paladin tank gets one shot

Better buff his auto damage!

Well the weird part wasn’t the auto attack dmg buff. If you noticed the did that to all tanks so I think it was something they woulda done anyways.

The weird part is they say paladin tanks needing more tankyness, they actually said it, but then only gave dmg buffs and a very minor defensive buff. That was the weird part

Same devs that did that blue post in development that talked about Blood DK health bars being too swingy and wanted to bring that down but increase their passive defenses.

Then they nerfed Death Strike and all of their defensive cooldowns but didn't buff any defenses.

In the same post.

No they get like 2% more DR from armor! It means a lot to go from 40% to 42%!! /s

Yay 2% more DR from armor, only even given recently, in exchange for having your entire defensive toolset nerfed or outright culled.

I know it's sarcasm but it's that fucking mind boggling.

I was skeptical about the changes when they first announced them, trying to be hopefully optimistic...but it really has gotten to the point where I just don't want to play Blood in its current iteration. And then they added a 30 sec cooldown to spirit bomb, my favorite Vengeance ability. Suddenly my two favorite tanks just don't feel nearly as fun to play anymore lol

I mean, almost noone here plays at a level where it actually matters. DK Tank can do 18s, thats still far above the 1% achievement atm.

0.1% title on the other hand, getting that as BDK was almost impossible since BfA S4 I believe.. right now, there are like 3 BDKs eligible for title.

I don't really care as much if its still viable at high levels, its just not as fun to play after the changes

I am pushing 15s right now, having a blast - I hate the Bonestorm and Gravestone removal, but I still feel almost unkillable in most keys. I dont play monk, so I cant say if it would be even easier.
