Just balance this game already, too many outliers and specs being trash for no reason just lacking damage. I would get it if there were trade-offs with utility but no, some classes pack everything.We have a full year with the game in this state before the Dragonflight expansion. Move your asses please.Also buff arcane.
While one of my main complaints throughout all the expansions has been the leveling of healers, this season has been, for me, the most leveled m+ compared to all the previous ones. Where we can appreciate a much lower domain of the holy priest if we compare it with that of the druids, paladins or shamans in their respective seasons or expansions.Except for the monk and the discipline, which are overshadowed in this content (at least one shines in Raid).
Sup mates, As a sure tradition, I feel obliged to mention I play from vanilla till the very little moment of now (only skipped TBC, both classic one and the one with $59.99 super sweet mega offers to open the most unique portal EVER). As I stated, I played from the very start of the game and was always doing it with my heart and soul only, which means the only brain I used was my gray or whatever colour it comes in matter in my spine, so I could press 2 buttons. The above restricts me to play BM, WW, RDRU, ALOCK, BDK, PROTWARRI, RETRI, HAVOC, RSHAM only, since they tend to be not skillcapped at all. All those specs are probably broken, not enough nerfed, OP or whatever. In terms of how most here define the "balance" all specs are totally super not balanced at all. Why? Because some say "imbalance" is surv outdpsing bm in like 2.5 times in the M+, some some boss fights, or farming skinning. I hope they mean at least same skill lvl players. So here come the semi-rheutorical questions: how the f does overall dps in some m+ show balance? Does details add-on display that balance real-time when you see 60k dps destro/surv/x over bm/arms/x 34k dps? How the figures of those dps do show balance? These are just semi because some may want to answer, which you please do. Concerns about not getting invites to some random m plus pugz because you are out of meta have always a good answer: make a group of your own. God bless you missed those opportunities to witness super charged meta slaves, who can't even press buttons outside of their aoe spam, insta leaving after throwing their rio points to the pack and the pack like "ok you have rio, we have 1 cast you don't kick, get rekt, meta%^&*!s". Why even mention those retords who decline you cause you play off-meta, keep them infamous, make a group/raid of your own and play with your heartCheers
According to me, the balance of classes are good as it is. But blizz made some terrible decision when it comes to roles. Like at the beginning of the expansion the kite meta for tanks so all the tanks hated tanking.Or now the healers are too pushed to do dps and lot of healers dont want to be healer anymor, because the are abused for not having atleast 50%dps of an average dps. Like wtf blizz
I think the main problem right now is player population. If a spec is played less than 10% of the top population spec, then Blizzard should do something to address that first and foremost.
please fix druids. Druids are suppose to jack of all trade nature warriors, but their survive ability is a joke in both balance and feral. I don't like the duel sun moon back and forth casting it feels redundant and unnecessary. I don't think we need sunfire it's almost just moonfall 2, it should do something different like debuffing the opponent. Eclipse should change or go because it make s the casting feel more like a railshooter cast two of one and then span the other until it gets to it's two and then repeat, but try to get starsurge off when you have enough astral power so it buffs your damage. If wrath is suppose to be the single taarget attack don't make it empower the aoe attack starfire on rotation I want to use them in the apropreate situations. they work fine as astral power generators but mabye have them activate starsurge for more damage or a free shot or both and have it still buff the damage for a short time but for both not what ever eclipse your under. I've gotten into more trouble trying to efficently use the eclipse pattern and pull too much because of the aoe effects but if I don't I die anyway because I'm not doing enough damage. Which brings me to feral it's like a rogue, but lacking most of the mechanics that help a rogue survive. Healing has to be active or it knocks you out of cat form and they just deal so much less damage so much slower than rogue and the leads to more death. I'm not saying druids should be the best at everything, but if they are supposed to be jack of all trades mabye blend the different types of skills they can do in different forms so they play like a jack of all trades instead of a lesser version of what ever their form is mimicking.
Look at these two white knighters complaining how the community is focused on buffs/nerfs. I mean it's pretty obvious they come from an 'elite' 1% perspective. This is part of the problem. Second, the one guy saying "class balance is good" when you have a 27% difference. If classes are outside 5%, they are not balanced. These guys are a joke. The 1% defending blizz for poor class balance.Also did you notice how they didn't mention classes with all 3 specs in the bottom 50% (mages), how some specs are completely irrelevant (bm hunters/arcane mages) and how they focused on destro/ww instead of all the classes? It's bc their elitist narrative would be debunked if they did.Pathetic.
Mythic plus could definitely use a look at for balance right now, feels like this content is irrelevant to the developers at this point. With how much easier this content is to access than raiding, it's all I ever do but it seems to hardly ever get touched...
I don't know why at this point they haven't just added a hidden class/spec aura to each one and just adjust that every couple of weeks."oh, seems the last couple of weeks what we did buggered up arms warriors and they've dropped x% dmg, raise their spec aura dmg bonus" or"hmmm, mistweaver monks are insane atm, lower that spec aura by x% healing"You get the basic idea. Start all the auras at like 0% and just set +/- accordingly after a couple of weeks :p
I think devs already checked out for shadowland my doods :DThey are puting all their effort in the next fiasco, dragonflight.
