Comment by MrXtrmWe NEED a way to do the Monk and Demon Hunter debuffs or they should just be removed.Comment by Schattensangso now a piece of paper gives more stats (7%) than any experienced mage/war/priest champion(5%)? niceComment by Rhordric"To accommodate this nerf, BFA stat scrolls were also nerfed slightly."

Well its more than 50% xD so not that slightly...but i guess it must be done. As i watched some streams game looks, a bit harder to stay alive than lets say BFA. We cant be OP anymoreComment by NeonSlowpokeHeart of the Wild please!Comment by Labyrinth184
We need to stop worrying about how it effects the endgame mythic raiders. Balancing your game purely around balance ruins fun. Ghostcrawler himself stated that balance is overrated after leaving Blizzard. This is a regressive approach to game development and by the absolute metric ton of unpruning their doing and opening up of classes, they know that.Comment by Zaveshi dont know anyone who even wanted these maintenance buffs back in the first place. theyre just annoying to press in combat because people die and it doesnt add anything flavorful. and it locks your raid into bringing specific classes that you might not want just because of the stupid debuffs. classic exists for people who want this kind of stuff and if youre going to add it then just nerf it so badly just remove it again.Comment by christhekiller5% intellect does not equal 5% damage done, this makes the debuffs from monks and demon hunters wildly stronger than the raid buffs.

5% intellect or attack power only affects one stat at the beginning of the equation, it doesn't directly account for secondary stats, procs, trinkets, or any of that.

5% damage done takes the damage after all other things are accounted for and then adds 5%, which is a hell of a lot better than 5% of one variable.

If dmg = x + y + z then a 5% int increase would like like this :

Dmg = 1.05x + y + z

And 5% damage would look like this:

Dmg = 1.05(x + y + z)

With all the complex mathematics they use blizzard doesnt seem to realize that 5% of two totally different variables is not the same thingComment by Snowflakeszi dont know anyone who even wanted these maintenance buffs back in the first place. theyre just annoying to press in combat because people die and it doesnt add anything flavorful. and it locks your raid into bringing specific classes that you might not want just because of the stupid debuffs. classic exists for people who want this kind of stuff and if youre going to add it then just nerf it so badly just remove it again.Comment by taiyai dont know anyone who even wanted these maintenance buffs back in the first place. theyre just annoying to press in combat because people die and it doesnt add anything flavorful. and it locks your raid into bringing specific classes that you might not want just because of the stupid debuffs. classic exists for people who want this kind of stuff and if youre going to add it then just nerf it so badly just remove it again.Comment by MorbidFableNow we're all useless....Comment by Trumpcat5% stat buff is VERY different than 5% flat damage increase. This is terrible, I call for riot.Comment by sinangelusGreat, so monk and dh are still mandatory... meanwhile paladins get weak and semi useless auras.Comment by Archimtiros5% intellect does not equal 5% damage done, this makes the debuffs from monks and demon hunters wildly stronger than the raid buffs.

Druid?Comment by irmosFfs why are u pushing guilds/raids/mythic+ ppl to take always dh/monk for those stupid buffs.... spread them to an other classes, give to rogues/warriors/shamans/monks/dk same buff... and locks/hunters/mages/priests/dh's the same buff...… jesus solutions are simple... use ur mind and u can found them... u change all buffs the same as those 2 classes.. c mon blizz why u don't want to lose ur dh/monksComment by grapefiend"With Shadowlands Alpha, Arcane Intellect(Mage), Battle Shout(Warrior), and Power Word: Fortitude(Priest) have been nerfed from 10% to 5% effectiveness."

lol "We're bringing back class buffs for BfA!" "Class buffs are now just class flavor for Shadowlands."

Get you some maybe 100 hp extra. Whoo!Comment by KherneasI just miss tooting my horn of winter while out of combat
