Blood's tier set is even better than prot pally. Blood is basically unkillable now doing almost all of their required healing, easily 80%+ right now with 20%+ overhealing. Wait for the tier bonus and they won't ever even need a healer.
We all know why you do this tier list, Tettles : To see all classes nerfed and boomkins buffed
Outlaw is really good also, been enjoying it a lot
Is it a holy or shadow priest? Of course not!
I am not really sure how this is a prediction at all. Wouldn't expect much more from Tettles anyways. There's also a video of Psy absolutely wrecking everyone on a feral druid. Gingi wrecking on survival. Sjele wrecking on destro. So what? We get "bugged tier set" plus omg so much damage? That's the insight from a "expert". Destro is playing "some venthyr build". You cant take an hour to research what your talking about before you write an article? Or is wowhead just pumping out something to get something up? It would have taken you all of 10 mins to look up Kalamazi and understand the venthyr build and write something more meaningful. You know as well as everyone here there NO way they are letting survival keep a bugged lego doing double the damage of everyone else but that's your only real insight? While I don't disagree with some of the opinions here, I do think Tettles is an incredibly lazy writer. Come on you have been in college all this time, haven't you learned to do some research and write a decent essay? Many people holding out for these articles are not in the high m+ community. Their spec will not matter for the most part. It would help to remember that the people your trying to inform, probably need a little more explanation than this. They are often looking for a breakdown and understanding of why a spec is stronger or weaker. What they are NOT looking for is "bugged and busted tier set" or "some venthyr build go bur"
Really Tettles lol...destro lock? Not much is changing for Destro in 9.2 in terms of what its good at and what its bad at, its niche remains doing strong DPS in HUGE pulls(like 15-20 targets level huge) but in your average double pull its not really anything special and many specs will be able to match their damage and beat it in 9.2. Those MDI style pulls are only really utilized by (no surprise here) teams near the MDI level, and theyre only done in certain dungeons and theyre only viable to do with certain affix combinations. So to say Destro is going to be meta because of it being able to do big DPS in such a niche scenario(that 99% of people wont ever even be in, and the 1% will rarely be in themselves) is just comical, especially when you have other specs like Frost Mage, Feral Druid, Surv hunter(hell, even Venthyr Guardian) who are able to do similar or greater DPS as Destro in those massive pulls. Mind you, outside of those massive pulls(which you need to play Rain of Fire and Soul Conduit and Venthyr to really maximize for, which means you gimp the rest of your already bad damage profile) Destro is terrible in ST, pretty bad in 2-3t cleave(even tho with Havoc its supposed to be their niche), and pretty much average or nothing special in regular 5-10 target AoE. Truly spoken like a real Boomkin, trying to claim Warlocks are OP yet again(despite the fact, they arent and havent been almost the entire expansion besides aff being good for a mere 3 months at the start of SL before being nerfed into the dirt) never mind the fact Boomkin is going to clearly be much stronger which will mean Boomkin will have been S tier for literally the entire xpac. Is it me or do Boomkins always complain about Warlocks being good, even when they arent?
A very simple solution. Disable Tier Set Bonuses OUTSIDE of raids.M+ players won't be FORCED to grind for those and Blizz won't have to deal with yet another balancing problem when it comes to M+ AoE pulls and different seasonal affixes further breaking tier set bonuses.But of course what would be Carrot on a Stick if they restrict raid items being used in M+ and voice versa (IDQ from M+ farmed by raiders?)
Holy Priest w/ Kyrian Legendary and the +15% damage buff is going to be crazy strong in keys. They'll be able to do 6k+ dps in keys easily matching Kyrian Shamans.
Paladin was tanky and doing world first keys during Season 2 because Champion's brand's ton of mastery almost never fell off, they're going to actually be worse this season imo.I think it's gunna still be bears and brews.
Buff Blood DK!
It’s scary, they tell in advance who will be the best, the next classes will have a big mountain of $%^&* . A typical situation for niche systems and class wh*or*es, as always.
I'm a survival player myself, so im hyped as hell for this patch because surv is actually in the spotlight for once, but compared to a couple weeks ago and the double leggo article, it was sounding like surv's bugged tier bonuses were actually bugged AGAINST our favor, meaning this "They are finishing keys at around 35k DPS overall in some spots compared to most other DPSes balmy 16k" might actually be even more drastic a change in surv's favor if/when the bugged tier gets fixed.
Strange to not see druid tank and feral in this prediction. In the state of the ptr, the 4p set for féral/bear is just insane. Primary sources of damage for them, with just pressing one cd button...
Buff DK's. Frost is trash tier and unfun to play. Only Survival is played least.Blood does zero damage. Why bring Blood, when you can bring 4 dps with Brew and Prot.....Unholy was nerfed to the ground after CN and has stayed at the bottom this whole time. Army needs to be removed, or it will always be impossible to balance.
