As somebody who is currently maining Frost DK, and refuses to play Unholy... thank you Devs.
The obvious elephant in the room is the overperforming specs. It's not just buffs that are needed, but nerfs as well. They probably can't do that until raid progression is done though, as those overperformers are required there.The less obvious elephant is that aura tuning doesn't fix a lot of the problematic specs.
Destruction being held back by Havoc doesn't feel like it holds much water when destructions niche is supposed to be its 2 target cleave and it can't even beat affliction in that niche - it has a long way to go before it starts being a problem in that regard.Blizzard had no qualms making affliction the best ST spec, execute spec, cleave spec, council spec and burst spec despite some of those being historic weaknesses. Not sure why they'd be #$%^&footing around Destro being strong in its historic niche.
can someone explain to my why people think every spec should be good at every thing? dont like how your spec performs for X thing? pick a different one. dont like the other specs? pick a new class that you do like. in no way do they need to make everyone good at everything. i promise you, im not happy bm is dog !@#$ aoe, but i accept its not a role i do well, and try to account in other ways, being good with tranqs or traps or slows, and do the best i can otherwise. people need to adapt or make due with what you got.
"Currently survival can be easily argued as being one of the 2 worst specs. It is about 20% behind other specs that can be considered good, as such, while 5% does help a tiny bit, not only does it not affect all of the damage sources thus ending up to be less than 5%, it also doesn't change it's relative position, and does not truly fix the massive gap between it and others."My lord...Can Survival get a different class writer? It feels like they had some kid playing MM go play SV for a few hours just so they might have a lick of experience before writing this basic and generic response on an otherwise broad platform and then did so with pure disdain for being asked to do so. They were handed the mic and given an audience and did nothing at all to bring attention or speak of the spec at all.Sarah McLaughlan could have raised more awareness than this post.That being said.Having been overlooked and ignored entirely this entire prepatch/launch/first raid tier, it is seriously a welcomed 5%. Survival Hunter mains are just happy to know that daddy Blizz still recognizes their abomination of a spec even if it is just enough to give it a cookie. Is it enough? Kittens no. But maybe we wont get kicked out of m+ and raids now so for now lets be constructive and positive with what we do with this cookie. P.S Give BM Kill Command Focus Regen and give survival Barbed shot slash for their focus regen it makes way more sense thematicallyDitch the mini cross bow for SS just give us a poison dagger that we can stab with or throw with if you really wanna be thematicDitch the mini cross bow for Kill Shot, give us condemn/Obliterate animation for melee, a spear throw for ranged if you really wanna be thematic2 Second Pet Rez or an equivalent ability that warlocks have cause that's real balance right there.Mongoose Bite BaselineGive SV dual wield so I can be like Big Bro Rexxar (Blizz did it for Frost and Fury) There's plenty more in the survival forums, that's literally all we discuss in there. Other than people wanting RSV back.
remember when everyone cried MM hunter was OP? Checking in from the #11 DPS spot in Castle Nathria! NERF NEEDED AMIRITE
Why is prot warrior being ignored? There are less than a handful in the top 1000 mythic players.
