Make sure that everyone that helps summon the doomguard, or generally around it makes sure to click off hailstorm buff. It will oneshot the doomguard if not done.
o7 RIP Doomguard
RIP
illegal amount of fun right here.
it was nice while it lasted...
Another example of something that Blizz wasnt aware of since this bug was live since start of Remix , now , after this article its gona get nerfed. And no , Blizz wasnt aware of this as people might think or say that they have been , Blizz is not aware for many things up until they are posted here... there are literally tons and tons of articles to prove this.
I was wondering why I kept seeing warlocks insisting on summoning the doomguard yesterday. I was like, nope, not dying for that. Makes sense about how much damage it does, though.If/when Blizzard nerfs it, they should at least increase the health to compensate. Like they'll do that, though. It'll be yet another knee jerk reaction nerf.
Thanks for sharing this! I was about to start another warlock (20th?) alt. Don't really mind if its nerfed afterwards, but Doomguards in general are useless so it's nice to see it has some kind of benefit in this implementation. I'd rather they just remove the spell entirely otherwise, pure roleplay means it's better off as a toy not a warlock class spell (hint hint blizzard retail: either make it relevant or make it a toy!)
Everyone saying this will be fixed, just remember... Warlocks are one of their favorite child, even "if" they fixed it, they gonna take their sweet time with this one.
There's a lot of fights where Doomguard is still at risk of dying, but it does the damage on fights where it counts. I don't understand why people think WoWhead is the only way to get news, and that any troubleshooting Blizzard does isn't known about well before WoWhead posts news on it. It's been covered on other social media since week 1 about doomguard being wildly scaled, and it doesn't take an expert to look at your damage logs with a warlock in your raid that a doomguard is hitting for several hundred thousand damage.
I always think to myself, I guarantee some of these people moaning about nerfs didn’t even know about them theirselves
Next time u get an idea for a "fun" experimental gamemode here's wat you do blizzard. You simply don't develop it. All the time that went into plunderstorm and remix could've been spent on making a decent cata prepatch or a proper s4.
most of the content I'm running now lasts a lot less than 5 minutes. Some of it goes so quickly that summoning a Doomguard would double the run's time.
Gratz for discovering this after 16 days when literally everyone knew about it.
Fix the other pets please
