Comment by MakorusWow, 12% buff for Arms, this is big.Comment by evandromazterWhen I read the article title from the main page I thought "oh snap, warrior nerfs incoming already?". Gladly not a long list, and surprisingly some buffs!
Had to switch from Fury to Arms in Legion however I don't enjoy playing Arms much, honestly. I am eager to test the new Fury as soon as I can.Comment by Meryline7% nerf affliction, lol ! Every time got nerfedComment by m2geekI swear they are making Arcane worse and worse. RIP my favourite spec.Comment by ManaplzArms has been my favorite Warrior spec since BC. Happy they are finally in a decent enough position to be my main for the BFA launch.Comment by carnidwarveSo MM was the lowest DPS spec for hunters, in ideal situations. and they get nerfed even more :'D

Glad BM is a thingComment by MuffliThey're literally shiping 2 warlock nerfs/day now.

Ion is trying really hard to bring warlock into an unplayable state again.Comment by PrimalShulkShould hopefully mean all 3 lock specs are roughly equal now (least from ST) while I don't play at the top level, any reasons for top level locks to not be shoehorned into Aff is a good thing in my books.

Edit: whether the class as a whole is too weak though, cant really say for sure till later...Comment by zequillWhen people talk about those changes, I hope they understand this is not changes from live, but from beta where all the spells were changed anyway and then got a dozen of other tweaks
.Comment by trogTo the author: Time Anomaly is not a PvP talent.Comment by Yonaz7% nerf affliction, lol ! Every time got nerfedComment by Swift73Oh thank god. I thought for a second there they were going to help Shadow Priests. We really needed that extra 2% damage reduction. Blizz almost had a few players willing to play the spec yet.
/sComment by LemonopyOnly issue is that if all specs are equal in ideal situations (standing still, no mechanics to interrupt rotation), aff will be chosen at high end. It is too versatile and mechanics don’t dictate do’s as greatly as the other specs. That was the issue in legion. Destroy and demo dimmed higher ST but you can’t achieve those numbers as easilyComment by JSchottOh thank god. I thought for a second there they were going to help Shadow Priests. We really needed that extra 2% damage reduction. Blizz almost had a few players willing to play the spec yet.
/sComment by Cobalt314This isn't what the Arcane needs. If the class developers listened to any of what the community wants, they'd have realized that the problem with Time Anomaly isn't its Arcane Power proc, but rather its 4 Charges proc and the fact that it can trigger outside of combat. I would say stop making Arcane unplayable, but I'm two years too late on that one.Comment by VoldarroSo MM was the lowest DPS spec for hunters, in ideal situations. and they get nerfed even more :'D

Glad BM is a thingComment by wtn851005I think that warlocks must have killed designer's whole family,or cast a chaos bolt to his ass when he was young.Comment by zmonmanElemental and Enhancement Shamans PepeHandsComment by TackettRIP warlocks being fun AND good.Comment by mathiaslindbergThat Rapid Fire nerf was so necessary. Hope they fix the one-shot bug for rogues before pre-patch goes live.
