Balance is abysmal right now
I play a hunter since i started playing wow, i tried and tried and tried, but SL and DF shown me that blizzard don't give a ^&*! about what players want and how they want to play, they want to choose class and spec of every player that wants to do m+. So i did what i have to do, i started paying for boosting, i don't care about the blame, boosting has become the ONLY way for non-meta users to have a party and run a high key. If i try to join keys normally, even in S1 where i was at 2600, hunter are simply ignored by every remotely good party. This is not fair, so i don't have any reason to be fair too.
5 spec season, just -20% all of these classes across the board and maybe then other specs will come back to life
All the people seething over class imbalance.Where tf have you people being for over a decade? blizz has shown since literally forever they are incapable of balancing all specs equally. This is just standard blizz in general, they cannot balance all specs equally cus they have suked at balancing all specs since forever.Why do you think i keep saying blizz are the worst balance class developers of all MMO like game developers since like 2009?
if you want to play new specs balanced, you are simply playing the wrong game and you will only get dissapointed constantly.
Best things playing Aug might be BZ could only nerf my teammate. But I think BZ made themself hard to balance this class by letting Aug buff proportion to their stat and not by flat amount. Thus an end game AUG could gave a very high amount buff on top of your end game players.
It's great that somebody's embracing the changes. I didn't think that the point of playing support was to do heavy damage, though.
I can just repeat myself. I have a 445 DH and 445 Hunter. I can do and get invited to +20s no problem. There is no reward other than bragging rights in doing higher than+20 keys. So if you're interested in that. Play a tank, a healer or play a meta class. It was always this way. I switched to Augment Evoker last Monday. It took me 7 days to get from iLevel 398 to 441 just with pugging. I also have to say it's quite fun. The rotation itself is pretty brain dead but that's not the point. The point is to know when to use all of your utility options and when to make sure to have Ebon Might up since you can't have it up 100%.Is there a damage amp phase coming or will the mage combust in the next 10-15 sec, then you hold it etc. Save an Obsidian Scales charge for the big AOE damage from NL first boss and so on. I was complaining last week about the spec very loudly but after playing it for a week and seeing how helpful it is I love it.
Well... it was fun while it lasted... I knew this spec will be either bad and useless or will break the meta. And breaking the meta it has... and even before the nerfs i was talking with a friend that i have a feeling aug will soon swap to just a regular dps class and slowly the support abilities will be removed.U got to give it to FFXIV for actualy beeing capable of making a game on wich a suport is definetly useful and powerful in progressions and then when ppl are geared and learned the mechanics they can do it with or without the Dancer linking to the samurai or blackmage, or without the bard buffs and so on and so on. Buffed or nerfed enjoy the spec while it's still a suport and has a fun playstile and feeling of buffing others to do big dps and heals, soon it will either become just another regular dps, or if the suport ideea will not dissapear other curent specs might recieve one or new classes with suport will arive and aug will be left to dust. U already have one that gives dps and survivability through the HP buff and Versatility gained, others will be more into shielding and def. I can't see 2 suports buffing with main stat like this one, or it might depend on the Tier sets if those are not going away again too.But yea it was fun while it lasted.
