Comment by Skrullizno unholy nerfs? okei.Comment by BigBadDadI imagine they aren't too far behind. Really they just need a slight nerf to deathstrike imo. Either make it cost more rp or nerf the amount it can heal for. They are far too tanky right now.Comment by gfz1306MW's 55 sec cocoon needs a nerf to bring them in line. This nerf is needed, but they're still far above the rest of the healers due to the 55 sec CD on a major defensive abilityComment by Vremonfinally thanks god .....maybe i would not see spell cleave evry arena gameComment by VaeloridREMOVEDComment by ErazhenIt's a 55 sec cd WITH a PVP talent + an azerite trait, also it can't be used while ccd in comparison to other more powerful def cds (PS, etc). It has a baseline 2 min CD which is more than enough.Comment by RazeoDH still untouched.... shocker....

NOT!Comment by ThagNo locks demon armor nerf or Unholy nerf ? what a joke...Comment by QuatinI'm still just waiting for the hotfix that says that they're removing the 5% overall damage nerf to shadowComment by SeganoProt Pallies still have insane healing and utility, UH DKs still have insane damage and utility. Locks are still better tanks than actual tanks.Comment by Beowulfsenwaited years for ele to be good in pvp, lasted few weeks and back to #$%^ :D :D :DComment by joey5648.1 changed and nerfed some of the talents for DH, so untouched doesn't apply..Comment by Fenril7More unneeded changes for boomkin, three times in a row we have been nerf. How about BLIZZARD NERF some DHs. LOCKS and SHADOW PRIESTS. POS CHANGES, Stupid blizzard, you can't tell me those boomkin changes were OP, just plain BS.Comment by angeleyedWhy nerf mw monks? It’s not like they were too strongComment by Detinator247I don't get how they can be so quick with these PVP hotfixes but slow af to address fundamental problems with class balancing in regards to Mythic+ which has really been the forefront of this expansion in every wayComment by AgentkillerleeWhy nerf mw monks? It’s not like they were too strongComment by CampfreddieBoomies need damage mitigation buffs in pvp, not damage output nerfs. Do they even play the damn game?Comment by gandalfr79? Boomkins are really good in arena and exceptionally good in rbgs. They needed a nerf and they pretty much nerfed the 2 talents that are chosen by many in pvp.Comment by gandalfr79They are arguably the best healer overall, and for sure best single target healerComment by AeraThe Balance and Mistweaver alterations are reasonable, but Elemental did not need that PvP nerf. They were not dealing too much damage, and they're still very fragile.
