Some Small Buffs Coming Next Week: Patch Notes

[@Millennium2696]

Surprised to see no fury nerfs

[@bloodroz]

Buffing other classes and not touching Fury is a Fury nerf.

[@zuralani1]

1:25 the initial damage of The Hunt is only single target, yes (it's roughly half the hunt's damage in ST logs). Together all of these buffs come out to about 4% pure ST increase according to the math people. What's funny is the 10% buffs to the initial hit of the hunt, felblade, and demon blades together add up to a 0.5% increase for the top Mythic Sikran and Ky'veza logs (half of that is the demon blades buff). These buffs are chaos strike and "add more stuff so it looks good"

[@FeralKobold]

Seasons starting to quiet down with most people at their goals or wrapping up and now is when the devs decide to wake up. Blizzard never changes lmao

[@Hbookerz]

I agree, i came to wow after playing league of legends, i swear there are champions in league whos patch notes are longer than the entire wow patch. Its shocking how slow and minuscule wow patch notes are

[@heh701]

Nice of blizz to make Affliction interesting to play for a brief interval at the end of a content cycle.

[@slugfest513]

3.5% overall buff for ST btw. Still bottom, maybe now it surpasses aug

[@Ttallonn]

i guess. ive been on it for the last couple months and it feels great. Though i dont run drain soul and have been on soul harvester hero talents the entire time. really its the first time ive wanted to play affliction since wotlk.

[@slugfest513]

@@Ttallonn gameplay wise the spec is fun, until you look at the meters.

[@daemonshen7945]

Bruh i have to everytime queue as destro and then sneaky change to aff on 3k io because im keep getting declined

[@ikejon-ubabuco2717]

Happy they are helping totemic resto with their ooming. I've been playing Farseer on anything 10 or higher just because I dont want to have to worry about asking the tank to slow down for drinks. Even though Farseer isn't quite as good at healing, I prefer the mana efficiency and damage. This change may make me go back to totemic.

[@ronnyalvarado8116]

What is feeling really abandoned right now is Holy Priest M+ and more specifically, actual aoe healing from Circle of Healing and Prayer of Healing.

[@sandcat731]

Buff all tanks, buff all non-meta specs (more), delete aug, make versa equally bis for all m+ players. Remove 15s penalty, back to 5s. Cut 10% jump at 12 to 2% scaling next 5 levels. M+ dungeons award 3k gold per player per completion. All fixed and fun? Do it blizzard

[@godhand4209]

Delete aug xddd rofl

[@hory121]

Survival hunter has had a bugged talent for like 2 months now, It's called "Exposed Flank" and the buff instantly gets consumed by kill command bleed damage so if you want to utilize it you have to not press kill command for 8 seconds before pressing flanking strike.

[@alienzm5212]

bro aff warlock have a bug with Soul Rot like from DF s3 they will not fix it. I already report it 2 times

[@enigmabis.]

Oh only took them 3 months to buff dark ranger

[@matthewwharton8698]

And sentinel is more important for m+. Don't want to learn dark ranger to be viable

[@Magarnapvp]

Brew buffs where?

[@logoceef2886]

Imagine if they could make some tank buffs for once and no not only some fucking damage buffs for tanks. Which also needs some tuning

[@MrJeremydb91]

Their tuning is horrid

[@chessiecat7860]

I agree Jeremy can’t wait for you to send me your detailed spread sheet of balance tuning. I know you have a ton of experience here. I’m sure it’s much better than this.

[@MrJeremydb91]

@ I mean…looking at logs isn’t very hard. You can clearly see damage on Warcraft logs, dev evoker 20%+ behind shaman for example. No spreadsheet needed!

[@omgnowairly]

They don’t play the game and they won’t touch the classes their boss plays.

[@tonkey2005]

@@MrJeremydb91a very quick Check in mythic raid 95th percentile tells me dev evo is about 7-12% behind shaman on each fight. Not 20%+. Not saying blizz balancing is the best, just not as bad as people want it to be. Also plenty of other factors to consider especially for m+ like utility/cd timing/prio damage/survivability/comp compatibility etc.

[@MrJeremydb91]

@ not talking about raid, talking about m+ damage, it’s massive. AK 12’s for example, top 10 sham are 2.3 mil, top 10 evokers are 1.6 mil, 30% gap

[@pspsora]

no druid buffss?

[@Catdaddy836]

druids dont need buffs.

[@amirir]

​@@Catdaddy836then why no one invite resto druid

[@Catdaddy836]

@@amirir you can say that about any class out of the top 5... balance druid is meta. guardian druid is good as well. Resto druid was the #1 healer in MDI. Resto druid isnt invited currently because Pain suppression/PI is more wanted right now in high push keys.

[@amirir]

@@Catdaddy836 what I am getting from this is classes are unbalanced and some need buffs btw mdi is just a scam

Is that a PoPtArT CoRnDoG t-shirt?!?!?! Swag store when, Dratnos?

[@liamdavies2823]

Pyre will be great for AOE after this. However the pyre talent you speak of (Volatility) will not be taken for Scalecommander because you just don't have enough points and it requires 2 points in it to be useful. It would be great to take it because it gives you even more cooldown reduction on empowered spells through Causality, so you would also get more mass disintegrates in AOE fights and in later seasons with higher haste you might be able to mark 3 targets with bombardments at a time if you maximise the cooldown reductions and mark targets at the right time. Dev is quite simple but it has slowly gained way more opportunity to maximise damage. You would definitely take Volatility for Flameshaper though, which might actually become a viable tree after these buffs! I'm holding out for a talent refresh for dev in S2/3, not a full rework but a good tidy up of the tree and maybe adding some new things or properly reworking Firestorm. It's a really bad tree

[@canwestop]

Now if only they would just delete augmentation.

[@GooseGuzzy]

womp womp

[@johnMa7869]

Id prefer to keep it

[@sandcat731]

Agree, it always becomes mandatory at higher levels to survive and control or it is balanced to be useless. The combo of CC and survivability limits the combination of comps beyond X key level. It will never be balanced and should not be "mandatory/bis". Buff devastation and preservation and delete this spec. Replace it by making versa a great stat to stack for all M+ gamers

[@jorrit_8292]

Bruh this hate is getting to be kinda cringy

[@GooseGuzzy]

@@jorrit_8292 I'm half convinced it's a bit

[@jamesjohnsoniii8068]

Havent actually looked at the numbers recently, but i am almost certain that I am casting a LOT more Flash Heals than Holy Word: Serenity in my keys and HPriest main. IMHO, single target healing on HPriest is fine. Its healing more than 2 ppl at a tine that is really the issue. Our AoE healing spells are literally not worth the talent points. But then again what do i know im just a +10 andy

[@balloonredd]

Dr. Rat Nose thanks for the analysis

[@deseanroot75]

Hello Blizzard. Brewmaster monks exsist. That is all

[@amirir]

I'm sorry to say that by revealing your existence you may get nerfed again

[@Golikol369258]

again nothing for brewmaster monks?!

[@TheThorp96]

Spriest really need som love, allmost a dead spec in m+ and raid. Mostly i want some changes to how we do aoe. 20 sec cooldown on shadow crash is to much in m+ when pulling fast and big packs, and if they dont want to change the cooldown, give us 2 charges atleast

[@jamesjohnsoniii8068]

Shadow Crash is a 20sec CD that applies 21sec dots

[@jamesjohnsoniii8068]

Warlocks have curse of Agony equivalent that has a 30sec CD and applies 18sec dots. And it costs a soul shard

[@alienzm5212]

SP was META all DF expansion XDDDDDDDDDDD its deserve to be mid now

[@iltoro9400]

what's up with all the bots in the comments rofl

[@siakhoj5970]

How to fix the game , i got my last alt (6th) to 2800 io . DH(ven), shaman(resto) , monk ( brew/mist) , rogue (outlaw) , warrior(protection), priest(disc) ,mage(fire) . All pugs . They need to remove these abilities to balance healers , remove soul ring and P.I . Nerf protection paladin heal (word of glory on party member by %50-70 ) . Decreased the dmg of paladin by 30-40% .( their dmg is more than BDK on top of they having utility for party member ) . Bring it down to vivify level for brew monk ( mine if it crits , it heals 1m ) . Evoker (aug) has been an issue . Regardless how good teams are , at certain points it requires HPS/DPS check . And its MANDATORY to have these 2-3 class ( protection paladin and evoker aug )

[@godhand4209]

To 2800 IO, so the bare minimum. Its like every key on 11 and 1-2 +12?

[@omgnowairly]

Have they nerfed warriors in response to DKs being overpowered? Are they still confused why that doesn’t work?

[@KungKokkos]

Affliction needs a change to AoE Agony, but lets continue with the worst QoL in the world for no reason. Perfect thing to fix when you need to buff it.

[@driiifter]

Flash Heal buff is random.

[@arma1218]

POE2 content waiting room😄

[@justatfn]

Make brewmasters great again!

[@iltoro9400]

DH litterally the last of the dps for single target damage in the raid and these are the "buffs"? bit tired of blizzard favoritism for some specs

[@syphlexsyphlex762]

I haven't seen DH is so long that I forgot that they exist

[@LATHSPELL70]

I would expect a rework. Not to feed the copium but AR is horrible. I think they’re going to rethink the class a bit in lue of the failure of 11.0. Unfortunately, even though that may be a plan, it’s not high on their priority list.

[@Xenamos]

Imagine still playing this patch

[@951001ify]

And they make you play it another 2 since 11.1 comes in late Jan/early Feb. We should already get 11.1, but hey, poe2 came in time which is hmmmm "slightly" better than rotting in m+

[@GreyGramarye]

As havoc, I actually really like our current tier set. I prefer it over Amirdrassil’s, and am afraid of how the spec will feel when it’s obsolete. THAT is what should be made into a hero talent.

[@Corboe]

U love worst tier set when DH is spec last dps st in this season idk bro idk

[@GreyGramarye]

@Corboe You understand that DH's place in DPS charts has far less to do with the design of the tier set than it has to do with tuning, right?

[@bardhansen226]

dh abandoned

[@smoke7877]

Frost dk bottom tier dps.

The buff to Aff was only a buff of you run the talents that are bad that got buffed wich was so bad that even after the ”buff” using then would be a dps loss.
