Chaos BrandDemon HunterComment by Grumarwas 10 really that big of deal? feels like they're making them almost worthless so people won't complain when they take them out of the game again.Comment by BanehallowzAmazing, Blizzard never stops surprising me with their dumb decisions. Another expansion that will have honeymoon phase for like 2 months after people get through all of the new content and realise how many missed opportunities and needless, dumb changes there are in the game.

But can't expect better from them, after all mobile games is their new focus.Comment by Asheevawas 10 really that big of deal? feels like they're making them almost worthless so people won't complain when they take them out of the game again.Comment by Grumarwas 10 really that big of deal? feels like they're making them almost worthless so people won't complain when they take them out of the game again.Comment by Luck4We're going to play Burning Crusade again... I hope the pro "squish" crowd is happy now.

Meanwhile, R.I.P MEGADAMAGEComment by MesmI wonder if there will come a time where instead of nerfing, they instead buff other classes. I don't even main any of the classes listed but this approach to game development is detrimental. Instead of looking for something to nerf, look for something to add or buff. It's a positive vs Negative approach. Far less people will get mad that a monk gets a buff than having a good chunk of other classes being nerfed. You get far less anger and far more happiness.Comment by TraduWe are still early in Alpha, what if we, crazy idea, added buffs to other classes like Monk? Druid?Comment by Mesmso now a piece of paper gives more stats (7%) than any experienced mage/war/priest champion(5%)? niceComment by baqqai smell a bloodlust-nerf as well (think about the change to drums rolling down to 15%)Comment by MaXiiczekAlchemy is getting oils back, how about giving it an oil which would apply weaker version of DH or Monk debuff? Just as Inscription gives weaker buffs from scrolls. But I'm not sure if giving alchemy more advantage over other professions is a good idea. Sadly I have no idea where else it would fit, but that's Blizzards job right? :DComment by PeredhilAlchemy is getting oils back, how about giving it an oil which would apply weaker version of DH or Monk debuff?

Maybe the soulbinds and covenants will more than make up for this?Comment by SorashinWe NEED a way to do the Monk and Demon Hunter debuffs or they should just be removed.Comment by SorashinI really wonder what's up with you people..

"5% stat buff is different than 5% flat buff"
"We need other ways to apply debuffs"

You are playing with what.. 1~2% dmg overall dmg ? Are all of you such min-maxers?
If yes you would build party with all classes for all buffs/debuffs to get best result anyway - so why are you complaining?
If yes you would build party with specific class that dominate the boss such as 17 warlocks, 15 priests, 12 rogues - so why are complaining again ?

I don't get it.Comment by KushenI would love to see more flexibility in raidbuffs, especially for Monk/Dh.
Maybe give Rogues a poison for either.
Have a specific Warlock Pet apply the magic debuff.
A Feral/Guardian Druid for physical?
Or give it to a profession: New Magic vulnerability Oil that can be applied to a weapon - Blacksmith that can create a physical debuff grind stone.Comment by Poromaniamaybe read more? - they told that it is propably early developer bugComment by Fixi5% they might as well just remove them and scrolls and be done with it.Comment by rrtresselwas 10 really that big of deal? feels like they're making them almost worthless so people won't complain when they take them out of the game again.
