Comment by LughnasadhUnder Warlock Destruction, it says

Mastery: Master Demonologist Mastery nerfed by 19.44%; Spell power coefficient reduced from 1.8 to 1.45

Should this be under Demo, or is the wrong Mastery value linked?Comment by JimNaixGreat, more Destro lock nerfs, thanks blizzard u said affliction wont be for another expansion best lock spec but if u keep nerfing destro like that (it has been like 5builds in a row) that will probably be the case again. They gotta understand this: nobody wants to play affliction, keep the fun specs viable or i wont play lock at all for another expansionComment by SquisheiUnder Warlock Destruction, it says

Finally.Comment by Chaosmage94I'm pretty sure -3% to -6% damage is considered a nerf.

And more warlock nerfs too, guess warlock is going to start off weak then buffed to the sky later on in the xpac.Comment by leoricsbrideanother fire mage nerf... It already feels so damn clunky on Beta without Flame On and Pheonix Flame... stop stomping on the dead spec..Comment by JimNaixGreat, more Destro lock nerfs, thanks blizzard u said affliction wont be for another expansion best lock spec but if u keep nerfing destro like that (it has been like 5builds in a row) that will probably be the case again.

Of course they decide to repeatedly nerf hammer it into the groundComment by JimNaixDarn it, decided to focus on my Destro lock going into BfA. Of course they decide to repeatedly nerf hammer it into the groundComment by Windgrace1856Am I reading this right, but that looks like a huge Retribution nerf (Value: -07% to -25%). I see a few of the abilities were buffed, but not sure if that balances out the overall 18% nerf.

Destro Warlock was doing a little too well, but boy it got nerfed really hard the last couple updates. More Demo warlock nerfs, too. I'm keen on playing Demo, but it was already just average after the last round of nerfs from what I had read so now I'm worried.Comment by iPredator85Yeah blizzard buff more the ballance and let the feral as it is. Why don't you delete completely the spec ? It's only ballance for you! Clap clap againComment by Agentkillerleeanother fire mage nerf... It already feels so damn clunky on Beta without Flame On and Pheonix Flame... stop stomping on the dead spec..Comment by JetLightWolfIt's literally stupid to look at any of this damage adjuctments as your spec being nerfed. These changes are all being done to get every spec into the same ballpark of dps in most situations, likely using some of the less touched specs as a base.

That is ignoring the cases where overall damage was lowered but certain abilities received comperable buffs. Those are more about realocating damage within the spec to certain places. So yeag crying nerfs is pointless.Comment by GooZFaBaSo they don’t touch the ridiculous chickens running around with their moonpiss, but nerf the locks... are these guys high?Comment by punkmanjTired of your class getting nerfed? Pick the weakest class then problem solved, they only buff those classes.Comment by DecilaFinally they (mostly) reverted the Ele Maelstrom generation nerfs. Don't know why they thought that was a good idea.Comment by AlarialasWow, nothing to address the abysmal state of shadow priests? =/
