I just hope Blizzard balance things out by giving each class and spec a unique feature to make them worth to consider bringing into a raid or dungeon group, if they gonna build this meta of 'particularity quality'. As it is right now, many specs which are already considered underwhelming will lose their value even more, like Feral Druids, Survival Hunters, Windwalker Monks (as the debuff is class wide and you can pick a Brewmaster o Mistweaver), and so on.It's shame that they only have a couple months left to adjust all these things together, before it turn into a disaster.
Glad to see theres still no reason to bring a ret paladin to anything :v)
This isn't as much a concern for M+ as the early comments are making it out to be. Most high level keys are run without a monk. Despite a hunter/rogue being present and able to benefit from the +phys dmg. M+ the buffs/debuffs are less potent because they are affecting less people. With SL already reducing the potency of buffs this is going to be even more true. While not having +magic or +phys dmg in a raid can be a big deal, that isn't the case at all in M+.
so can you get rid of drums then so shamans are a bit more needed then also ?
Remove these Ancient Buffs already.
It's rather silly how their playing all of this out honestly. Those scrolls were nice by releasing the need for the above classes. With hr chance of them being gone it's now either bring the above classes to raid or bust. Warlock is also in the same spot as the curses their getting will be very useful in raids. Along with the plethora of already existing utility they have.
Great change! Now remove drums please.
I.... think this is an OK change?I just wish they would revert the 5 minute CD on potions. It actually feels awful to use one now in m+ or the open world.
Swim speed for engineering, swim speed gem....how much swimming is actually going to be done in this xpac? o_O
Bring the player not the class?
Even with the nerfs, 5% debuff is still stronger than a 5% buff. I still don’t know why blizzard attached spell damage debuff to DH. The class does not need representation in the raid via forcing of debuff application. Monk makes sense because it is the lowest represented class in the game but DH does not.Absolute bs to see 5 classes have guaranteed representation in a raid/party.
