Comment by Saintguto first.
Jokes aside, loved the changes on hunters. Comment by Interest I'll take those Hunter buffs and run, for sure.

Time to go revise my Hunter class idea again... Comment by Bladehawk Woo! Let the World First race begin! Comment by prescribed no love for shammys what a shame, Comment by Evad3e Season 19 Achievements that should not have been granted have been correctly removed.\r
Which achievements are they talking about? Comment by Kyllandra It's really annoying when they make a spec you've worked so very hard on mastering nearly nonviable. Why does Arcane keep getting all these damn buffs? Arcane has ALWAYS been OPed and it is the least fun to play. I absolutely hate it. Oh, and that idget talking about love for Shammys. Shut up, Shammy. Ya'll have been OPed for years too and you STILL are. Damn 3 button classes. And that's another thing. The gap between classes that only have 3 buttons and those of us who have to utilize many to eeek out viable dps is really unfair. Don't make the claim that your goal is to create a fun and FAIR environment if you consistently over the years fail to meet that goal. Seriously. Comment by KittyKatBar Phew, I am glad to see them undoing the damage they did to feral, and even giving us a bit more of a boost. Much needed. Maybe I won't get kicked from raids for my spec now LOL. Comment by Iceleaf Im glad that we are no longer stuck in whole patches of specs or classes being OP or "totally useless" and get way faster buffs and fixes..

..but changing damage around like every second day as hotfix feels like such rollercoaster. Combined with trinket chnges, tier set changes and whatnot. Cant even keep up with the news anymore :P

Arcane mages are 4th lowest dps spec in the game right now.

Also it really gives lot of info about your knowledge on classes in general, when you claim Shamans being 3 button class :\/ Comment by AeronPeryton Loving the Hunter love that Blizzard has been giving lately. I think I see what they're going for with that goofy WiP barrage animation. The current one shows a torrent of fire but no kickback from the weapon. I think that what the hip thrusts are a placeholder for. Comment by Psychaholic Oh, and that idget talking about love for Shammys. Shut up, Shammy.

I don't know what you are talking about or what rock you've been living under, but Elemental Shamans have been underperforming since Warlords of Draenor when their Mastery got changed. Comment by Dethrix "Developer's Notes: Destruction's damage isn't as high as it should be. In particular, some of its spells that should feel the most rewarding aren't hitting hard enough, especially in AoE situations. We're buffing the damage of those spells."\r
\r
Cool - thank you..... for acknowledging the destro feedback from alpha! Better late then never i suppose.... Comment by Menardis Change the SV artifact ability from a 4 sec channelled cast to an instant while we can cast other spells and I'd personally be happy for now. Took several patches, but finally getting to a point where the spec is at where it should be. \r
\r
I shouldn't have to let DoT's run out, or fight the GCD to use my artifact ability at 6 stacks... Comment by Grogal They have zero clue of what they are doing with balancing classes this expansion.\r
Huge nerfs bring huge buffs and vice versa.\r
New buffs of up to 33% dmg increase and such show how little they listened to PTR feedback. Comment by theredview Im glad that we are no longer stuck in whole patches of specs or classes being OP or "totally useless" and get way faster buffs and fixes..\r

Someone was just mad :| Comment by Bryster Hello, just going to say you guys put the ice cream of Cone of Cold, and not the spell in Frost mage ability section :3 Comment by natyarafdn Too good they will buff feral damage... survivability isn't that good atm tho. Comment by AveryZan Developer's Notes: Feral's playstyle feels good, but isn't putting up the numbers that it should be, so we're giving them an across-the-board damage buff.\r
\r
I would seriously love to see a dev play feral competitively, it is easily one of if not the most clunky specs in game. You are still basically forced into taking blood talons + savage roar + jagged wounds (the later 2 have anti synergy that makes you feel like you often can't do anything at times) to put out viable damage in raids. The buffs on the other talents in those tiers are still far too behind the ones mentioned. A damage increase is a start, but I really feel like the class mechanically needs to be looked at seriously.

Chill out!\r

I just decided to level up my shammy (8th toon) from 100 and oh boy, they've changed a LOT since WoD and I can guarantee you that you will end up filling up those action bars super quick and then wonder which spells to remove so you can add more useful ones on the bars :P Comment by Greensmower1 Developer's Notes: Under certain circumstances, it was possible for Fire to run out of mana. It's only intended that mana is a constraint on Fire's utility, not its damage.

Well as a lifetime Fire mage, the last time I went oom was sometime in BC. It has pretty much been a meaningless trait since then. I am not quite sure why Blizz is still managing mana for mages. They could just get rid of it altogether, and add something else that is relevant.

But I do agree on the fact that these weekly changes to pretty much everything are getting kind of ridiculous. It is getting very hard to gauge a players expected output on DPS when the numbers change EVERY WEEK. This feels like a desperate move on the part of Blizz to keep the sub numbers up, and to avoid the typical burnout after a patch boost. Based on what I'm seeing for fire mage, I will be expected to do around 5-10% more dps based on the 3% dmg buffs this week. Mainly due to the fact that mages can have AOE's and DOT's up while casting regular rotation spells. For the average mages pulling 200k-300k dps right now that's a huge boost... and for the top mages, well they will be breaking your meters and your pvp experience! lol Comment by RaggedyStar I'm just happy that I can run a Warlords dungeon and get some damned loot! xD\r
\r
There's a staff that I've been trying to get and going through the Everbloom to get it was completely\r
pointless because all of the bosses decided to conveniently forget to bring their loot to work with\r
them -_-
