Comment by Hilgono

very nice how they went out of their way to buff affliction agony by 40% and then remove that buff. and then buff spriest instead within the same day. they're not even trying to hide their M+ meta intentions at this point.

Comment by Lautner

Affliction's busted, shadow priest struggling. Sooo their intentions are what?

Comment by Krisling

Nooo, don't fk with Kidney Shot!

Nerf Agony while the meta is in Aug-ony, classic

Comment by Plzfixhunter

So Blizzard unintentionally bugged the new BM talent laceration to be OP on the beta. Instead of fixing the talent they applied a flat 30% nerf. They then fixed the talent nerfing the damage and additional 20%. So now BM is the worst ranged DPS spec on the beta while still providing limited utility and a god awful raid buff. GG Blizz thanks for destroying the class.

Comment by Badsepector

its 7th time in the row that blizzard nerfed / buffed dk's exterminate hero talent, are you guys smoking something? they are just nerfing and buffing a single ability for about same percentage over and over again. they are using some kind of drugs i'm pretty sure

Comment by kpiaum

I like how this banner photo is the only photo of a priest or shadow priest that wowhead have. :D

bm hunter when?

They already nerfed them twice so far and going by their tradition, one more nerf is "warranted" for BM Hunters. And then weeks of drinking the salty tears of complainers on the forums before they throw a tiny little bone and buff them for 1/3rd of the overall nerfs.

That 30% buff only applies to Mind Blast
