This is really disappointing.Previously WoW has always had a power boost towards the end of a raid tier to help guilds struggling finish up before it ends. EN had a boost via ToV gearing. NH had Concordance added at the tail end. ToS had the NLC at the end, and Antorus had Artifact weapon going crazy.This strikes me as Blizzard being unable to retroactively change azerite gear, and having players refarm the same pieces they already have is a bad idea. So instead of either retroactively fixing it, they just gate them for another month.

Not every talent needs to be easy to use. Its fine if bloodtalons requires more management. The healing side effect of regrowth can actually be quite nice.

Shadow priest changes are substantial, about the best you can expect honestly.Talent changes on spriest open up different playstyles quite a bit. I don't think Ele changes are as good (Surge of Power is just a bad talent), but its definitely better than what enhance got.

Yeah, I don't even bother respecing my pieces for healing in dungeons. I have generic traits on all 3 of my 385 pieces, so its not too bad. Im only losing value on my 2nd ring, which doesnt matter all that much.I don't really think this problem is a problem. Pure DPS classes have the same issue when switching specs. You just need to prioritize your main spec, and maintain an offspec.

11/09/2018 05:13 PMPosted by NimoxLightning Shield and Forceful Winds are both popular talents right now, and we don’t want to reduce Enhancement’s overall damage with changes to those two talents, so additionally:Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but the way this is worded, it makes me think that they went over some spreadsheet that showed the popularlity and strength of talents and adjusted accordingly, instead of approaching it from the angle of class talent interaction.Its a rather biased look, but I cant help it.

Uff. These changes. Much like Elemental Shaman, how can you be so far off on talent tuning? Some are literally doubled, and others 40-50%. Its something I'd expect in early beta, not 3 months into an expansion.But I guess its expected now. Don't expect the game to be finished class design wise every expansion until halfway through at least.

11/07/2018 09:41 AMPosted by FaildeadThis kind of seems like a non-issue for raiders. The Azerite armor from raid having 2 trait rings makes it wayyyy easier to get the trait you want. The raid is both longer (+1) and drops more azerite armor per boss then the previous. TLDR: traits from raid ez.Yeah I thought about this more. Most classes are going to have at least 2 ideal setups, and your chances of getting pieces good for either one of those setups is actually pretty high. I'm waiting for the 5-trait info to be out on the dungeon pieces to actually number crunch, because I believe it may …

Sigh, people pointing to stats and don't understand how they work.This site has nothing to do with "Balance". Its checks frequency of keys that are run, group comp, and completion time (via raider.io scores).People tend to play certain classes if they want to do higher end M+ content. Its no surprise that havoc DHs just vastly outnumber all other DPS specs in M+. Yes, there's totally an imbalance when you start creeping towards the top, such as 16+ keys, but the percentage of the community who does that is quite small, and the strategies used to deal with those keys aren't typical.I honestl…

What are you even talking about? Do you just make things up so you can stay outraged?

11/07/2018 07:28 AMPosted by LoerothMy gripe with his straight up nerfing us isn't that it'll help us much, we have no utility,Uh. Darkness coupled with SLT is just insanely strong. Imprison is amazing in M+, esp for infested mobs. Chaos Nova stun makes handling ghuunies a joke. High mobility for dealing with mechanics. An immunity. Blade dance can be used to dodge certain mechanics like the dead shot in tol dagor..
