[@AC-wc7ju]

As a feral druid in bear form. With 5.6k armor and 4.4k health self buffed. If I fight an enhancement shaman or rogue. I can't make it 10 seconds before dead. Ifs absolutely disgusting...and don't even try to use cat form... your fucking cooked if you do.

[@brianjensen2644]

I second this as a fellow bear boi

[@Naeinsengimnida]

I feel you man, even though i like the changes in general, when i saw that Plate wasn't feeling like Plate anymore i was slightly disappointed by this collateral damage from all the improvements.

[@parramaniac6155]

@@Naeinsengimnida Horde don't have it easy either, in bgs I get around 5k+ health as a lock with soul link. Pallys can pop a bubble and kill me before it runs out while I can't do a thing. Also been stunlocked by a rogue in meta form with 3% passive health regen every 4s, an active drain life and died before I could move again. Melee are stupid strong. And spriests can die in a hole, 2 dots shouldn't do 60-70% of someones health alone.

[@stevo6178]

As an ele im having a blast 😂

[@Zephro1995]

It's finally our time

[@TheTributeBC]

I am so sick of getting fucked by blizzard. I didnt have the chance to play incurs the first week of launch, now everyone got instant lvl 50, with 1000+ g, whereas i will have 200g ish and half of the leveling speed. I just gathered all of the materials needed for that p1 rune, thus SPENDING (could have sold) 70+g. I even leveled engineering on my alts to farm some of the materials for that rune. I currently have over 50 of them, which will be woth 0 now. I guess the best mantra of sod "Just wait for blizz to remove it, instead of taking your time to play the game". Oh, and lets not forget the time i bought my mount for 80g. Fuck this shit.

[@thejulien911]

Omg bro you and me are living the same exact situation... blizzard is a bunch of morons punish those that didn't minmax/exploit the game

[@shainej.raleigh8639]

Add in top of that people just camp grief people trying to level due to them all getting 50 so quick. Took me weeks to level due to overcrowded and constant tanks

[@terryherrington1014]

I play a frostfirebolt mage and it feels much better than middle of the pack. i think the rogue dps is completely nasty right now in raid

[@sirnicholibraden86]

"Feels" doesn't mean anything... show numbers so we know for sure. All that means is the guilds or people you compete with are below average.

ROGUES ARE BACK LETS GOOO

[@jakelorimer633]

Warriors definitely need Warbringer for PVP.

[@nickdraper8409]

Rogue feels good for sure but it's still super hard to get into a raid with lack of utility. My guild was fine with 10m raids but we don't have the players for 20m so we havnt even done ST just a few of us trying to pug. I will say I wish they would give tank rogue some love with aoe capability. Make shuriken toss do more DMG or apply your poisons or something. Or give us fan of knives. Something to help cause AOE pulls are a nightmare as a rogue tank.

[@0ihatetrolls01]

waffling on till it gets to the 10 min mark ahaha

[@kamenoscsdas]

-"Nightmare incursions are an absolute bloodbath". I've mostly seen shamans initiating pvp combat. But oh well I guess it's normal. Give the kid an OP gun and it will start shooting

[@tyhyhh]

thats funnyi mostly see priests starting crap

Good change, just mad it's pointless for most plp including me who already spent the Gold

[@gregjross852]

My guilds are currently bleeding players on both Wildgrowth and Living flames. Trade chats getting slower. Whoever thought of the Incursion/Wild offering grind is cooked. I’m still enjoying the game but the incursion/Wild offering grinds are atrociously braindead;

[@Lanceloot91]

i knew the change for the rune 1 would come i still had to do this on my chars for maaaan i spent 100g on that should have waited

[@svens3722]

and why you had to ? because its written on a website on the internet right?

[@KyFiGz]

Luckily I only bought the fish oil and stopped there lol

[@Bigmatt7]

Sucks that I joined so late. I am currently lvl 31 on my lock, and I can't find a group for meta rune

[@ShibbiSweet]

Nice video MR Dance. Also arcane mage isn’t even on that dps tier list.

[@hammerdancegaming]

Thanks Shib! Just looked it up, there’s only 5000 total parses for arcane mage and they are dead last. So I’m assuming arcane mages that are actually dpsing might be thrown into that (fire) category, similar to warriors with arms/fury not being split. I can’t imagine that actual arcane mages are doing 70 dps like it’s showing on WCL so it’s probably being tracked in a weird way.

[@spreadindots991]

​​@@hammerdancegaming to see the arcane damage look at mage healers then instead if the healing parses use the drop down amd swap it to dps i believe its like 400dps at the top might be more. I know i play arcane heals and i do like 200-400

[@hektorsoul5473]

Soo no more righteous orbs but players who already have them can still use them and players who have crusader still can use it what a shotshow... Remember guys: exploit early and often.... Things like this is why i wont play SoD again untill lvl 60 is out

[@chance0257]

I mean only super sweaty parse lords would have gotten crusader, and granted crusader is banned on WCL, their crusader is wasted. So L on them.

[@vaughnwonenberg]

[@andrewbonning6615]

i play Spriest and i dont see how this is a rip?

[@obnoxiousjumper279]

they cant buff them that would make them broken in pvp its a sad circle...they are still a must have in raid for melee cleave grps and their healing from dmg is insane

[@overing07]

Sp has insaaneee dmg for PvP, two dots can drop u from 100 to 0 in no time, maybe in raid they are not as good, but in PvP... they dominate, and they are tanky

[@vjredline9242]

I'm playing shadow priest and nothing has ever felt worse in any raid ive ever done ever XD

[@nopenope3678]

Ahh yes all warriors were asking for a victory rush buff

[@trailerparkboysbestshow3327]

This seems very old news? its like 2 days ago they updated and put out notes on this?

Phase 3 is the best i love it.

[@salthebard6258]

RIP to making money from Turbochargers. Made 1000+ gold selling those.

Priest powerword shield needs a buff. It can't even withstand 1 hit cause everyone hits so high 😂

[@krispe2512]

balance druid needs some love. starsurge using mana???? lmao i couldn't even tell the difference.

[@Eskoxo]

Wonder if we will ever get top dps spriest but prob never... yet somehow melee hunters are top of all things..

[@danielreardon298]

Still waiting for balance druids moment 😬. We had a whole 2 weeks of being decent in pve. Down in the dumps again. Gotta do something.

[@stevo6178]

Really hoping they do some changes to getting your gnomer helm that quest line is a bitch haha

[@f3korn]

I main elemental shaman, and its soo bad atm, forced to go mele elemental cus of best rune require to do 1 mele attack every 9 seconds, and on top of that, second worst dps class atm, soo heavy proc related damage.😢

[@saeed-ps2me]

Sad that I’m playing SP and fighting with tanks on dps amazing game guys

[@tharpoon]

rogues are lethal this ph, 100% dead inside a single stun lol

[@newspin2477]

It's not a tiny bit of a nerf to shaman's overcharge... it made overcharge useless for actual tanking because the damage was too high, now the threat is pretty meaningless. I totally understand why they did it, but I think they could have been smarter about it. I'm probably going to have to swap over to Burn instead of mental dexterity for aoe tanking now, and pulls will have to be smaller... which you could argue is fair since most tanks can only hit around 4 mobs with their aoe tanking abilities (like warrior's thunderclap). I still think they could have put a little more effort into this and found a middle ground. Warrior is probably the better aoe tank than shamans after this nerf if running thunderclap rune, and they were already much better single target.

[@garrettsondgerath9877]

I love using burn anyways, having constant uptime of molten blast is great. Also the 3 second internal CD isn’t really that bad, I haven’t had issues and still pump over 1k dps with 3+ mobs

[@zepho100]

It’s not over for us. Burn + magma totem with lightning shield is still 1K DPS with 3 mobs.

[@tharpoon]

they should have just capped the amount of targets to 4 or 5 or whatever.

[@thomasgonzales2728]

one thing ive learnt about sod .......................... wait and dont waste your time doing anything blizzard will make it easier all the time oh and blizzard have no clue whats going on in sod pvp thanks blizzzard

[@Vegetsu101]

"A tiny bit of a nerf" I think this is in fact one of the most significant nerfs in a good while. The spec just lost 67% of its total AoE damage and threat potential, but I guess it's justified since the devs did not reach their goal of making shamans unable to hold threat by removing 90% from their weapon's attack power buff a patch earlier.

[@AC-wc7ju]

Mate shamans need Significantly more nerfs than that. I'd close my Mouth before you accelerate it any more

[@aminuspospolitus6316]

What are you taking about average shaman does 600-800dps on each pack, it needed to be nerfed

[@hearthstoned8528]

ouh shaman main salty you love to see it

[@AC-wc7ju]

Shamans need significantly more nerfs. They do way too much dmg, their bust in pvp is ungodly. Their aoe threat is busted their single target dmg is busted. Enchantment dps and tanking needs more nerfs

[@myssery984]

how was falling in the hole like RIP world buffs lol horde players

Yeah, but can you send me your hand tattoo sketches :D

We cant have balance druid doing less damage the tanks. They have low aoe damage also. Please... we need them in our raid.

[@ra3975]

Rip balance druid and shadow priests

[@xterrn]

How is that rip balance?

[@H-D-D]

They are tyrants in pvp. And they will always be brought to raid for their utility.... Screw them.

[@danielreardon298]

I parsed a 97 on atalai with 800dps today. Everyone else doing 1000 plus no problem. You say we’re tyrants in PvP, but we just a big old target in boom form. We can’t do anything against casters. Like literally nothing. They just silence staffire and that’s game. We can’t stun unless going out of form and we have no kick or silence in boom form. We’re below mid

[@fizzlepop3]

WARRIORS L OL

[@krispe2512]

this raid is not friendly to casters due to improv movement needed throughout pretty much every boss fight.

[@oskardanigsecher9906]

[@brandonwilson4740]

​@@masterchief00why would they.

[@Zutang777]

Incursions are still way to over tuned. they are very painful to do. Mobs reset their ago extremely faster after changing a different player not even in your group. Respawns are insane. The damage and hp of these mobs cause people to ignore these quests and just farm the pick up quests. this needs to be talked about and fixed. The level 25 is somehow WORSE. you the demons are for some reason INVISIBLE? And they also STUN you… you can be 4+ levels ABOVE the incursion mobs and you still get destroyed 1v1

[@svens3722]

why u torture yourself just because its meta? play the things that make fun, not the things which brings you fun at later point. in p4 most of it anyways worthless. running in circles like a bot is ofc painful. just stand on a point in the incursions and watch like the people all behave and wonder, whats the difference between them and a bot.

[@Zutang777]

@@svens3722 they are actually fun though. All they have to do it tune down the mobs CORRECTLY. due to power creep. They probably made a mistake when it comes to scaling the mobs for phase 3.

[@Zutang777]

@@svens3722 and when MC comes out it’s pointless because you can do naxx. And Classic is pointless because you can do the burning crusade. Nah I don’t think like that. I enjoy class fantasy and doing all content.

[@svens3722]

@@Zutang777 thats a new level of coping right here. dont lie to ysourself. you hate it but you like the rewards. we all like it. but for some its not worth anymore. and yes class fantasy is what i realy like. especiaccly with the new runes. funny thing is, there is not realy a class fantasy because everyone plays the meta, and if not, youre getting shitted. ofc there are exceptions. yeah idk, i dont feel it anymore. everone is triggered by the slightest chance and if a item on a bis list and not in their inventory, their life have no meaning. you see only portal offers in the trade and world chat, only hr runs, only lfg for bot incursions but you can only join if you have addons etc. E.g a stv last week. it was very hard to find a healer( like evertime) and then we got one but he got instantly insulted because he didnt do the corpse run when we had enough blood. whole group was instulting him. i mean chill, everone have their first time. you can still instult him if hes not getting it after 20 minutes. but right after 5 mins x) wtf.

Feel like they should release p4 quicker

[@randoonetwotree]

Uhhhh no...

[@lashaxoperia5917]

Actually yes, because before 60 level there would not be enough content for players , i knew that even before starting playing SOD. This entirely changes when Phase 4 comes and we have 3 raids to farm + ST raid for some pre raid bis.

[@easycake3251]

Hah... I spent 20-30g in p1 on that Ratchet rune. And that 20-30g then was A LOT more than 60g now. But same as with everything else, just dont play the game and Blizzard will eventually reward you and give the middle finger to the ppl who put effort into it.

[@iliyanemanuilov5933]

[@bgh12g]

they arent doing those runes not because they are phase1, its cuz the rng and grind is SO bad, people are refusing to take those runes. I did it once and havent touched them on any other toon and will never do those quests.

[@pastrie42]

The fact that shamans are basically gods and I still don’t get to play a shadow priest and PBE makes me so angry that I honestly don’t even wanna play wow again. how are we STILL not viable in pve? i quit over the economy, but every day im out of the game i realize how shitty it was.
