imagine going that deep into this and even call for further solutions, to nerf spells, while all the problems started with the t-set. plus we will get pre-patch soon anyway.it was blizz fault to not listen to feedback on that set bonus, because it was obviously broken.
They nerfed destro locks so instead of 2 meta specs you now only have 1.Smort.
because he didn't get the nerf? If someone thinks that getting a nerf on something and then getting a buff on something is a nerf, then they are wrong, because this is counterbalancing, and hence, specialization is still at the same level because they haven't actually received anything that would. really weaken.It is similar with destro - he got nerfs but also buffs ...Other spec's were not so lucky to receive nerfs and buffs at the same time. Usually they only received nerfs - and this really weakened these specializations.Where is Blizzard promising to keep an eye on the balance and react?Unholy is still one of the worst specializations in the game for M +.It was enough to increase the AoE damage through the buff for Virulent Plague, Epidemic or for Scoruge Strike + increase the number of targets in DnD ...Outside the windows, i.e. without the CD, we do not do any damage in M +.
I don't think it's their damage as most people are suggesting. I think it's a contributing factor but it's not the main reason for a lot of players.Simple explanation, it's actually a very fun spec. I hadn't played survival since they made it melee and removed explosive shot, the most satisfying ability to ever exist.I started gearing my hunter in order to have a ranged class as I've been playing tank and melee DPS and decided to have a play around with survival while gearing for Marksmanship and haven't gone back since. Sure it's strong, but it's also incredibly fun and mobile.
You forgot to mention that even a terrible player can produce damage on Survival Hunter which is not true for all specs. Example being season 3 warlock rerollers from last season that are on average performing very badly this season even though the class is still the second best class in the game right now.
Broken tier set remains broken, developer learned nothing. News at 11. On the bright side, this season is easy enough that pugs can time 20s without bringing any meta specs, and next season is going to be a whole new can of worms anyway.
I'd play surv even if it wasn't the highest dps spec, it's just super fun to play with the tier set. As for balance classes are extremely balanced right now at the level that matters, game can't be balanced around top 1% of key levels, something will always be best in an infinitely scaling system.
So tools Survival had since it's inception, but ONE change of a tier set that synergies perfectly with a legendary and talent setup causes it to be an AoE powerhouse.I like how they tried to make Versatility as a main stat a strength and not a massive weaknesses due to Survivals Mastery being one of the worst scaling in the game.
If they would put back in the packs that would require cc just like back in de days then it would be way less bout aoe and more bout knowing and controlling your class. Miss that. It is all about the big numbers now.
And yet my unholy dk has consistently outperformed surv and destro in pugs.
"the ability to transfer transfer in " mistake on the misdirection part, otherwise great article
Yet Destro routinely deals more damage and brings better utility to the group but isn't slammed here?Let Survival have its time in the sun, its good that a easy to learn class is OP as it makes newbies have a better experience if they play it.
