Enjoyable detected bear nerfs – Normal Dialogue

from Blizzard

Our latest changes to Guardian have made the Elune’s Chosen construct stronger than meant. We’re going to take steps to carry this again in keeping with realm restarts throughout scheduled weekly upkeep this week.

Classes

Druid

We recognize that the build in question avoids the Apex talent. With this tuning, we’re choosing to not break the Elune’s Chosen build or require the Apex talent. We have further plans to update the Guardian Apex Talent in a future patch to give us more flexibility with it and alleviate some of the current pain points for Druids.

these people clearly have no idea what they are doing. it is worse than rolling beta. they just don’t have a clue.

Im sure they won’t forget to think about how this affects threat generation.

clearly they are smart enough to have figure that out. and the self heals, etc.

im really tired of this constant rolling beta nonsense. i have a month left to my subscription. i might vote with my cash this time around.

it is just freaking amateur hour.

a 25% reduction to a 200% increase gives back 50 percentage points of that original 200% increase.

so now we have a useless tier set, a useless apex talent system and they killed one of the hero specs.

all to “tune” a 5% more single target raid damage.

amateur hour

I am not great at math tbh but if they buffed thrash damage by 200% wouldn’t it still generally be buffed by 175% of where it originally started?

Nah cuz the new % is of the new current number

I want to know why Druids are the high damage tanks with a 2 button rotation. I could understand if they were more complex and even more so if there was some kitty weaving involved but not this

Expected output is they want Guardian doing more damage than other tanks?
Why?
What justification is there to make Guardian the highest damage tank? Do they think they have less durability or survivability compared to others?
They have much better utility and offheals compared to monk, warrior, DK or maybe even vengeance these days.

Damn, Guardians just can’t take a break this expansion.

no because it is 25% of 200%, which is 50 percentage points.

is we start with 100 and they increase it by 200% then it goes to 300. so the increase is 200.

heck its actually worse than what I wrote off the top of my head because the 25% reduction comes off of the 300. so it is actually giving back 75.

the end result is a 125% increase from where it had been pre-”tuning”

I think the more important side of this is the actual bleed which isnt touched. I’m sure its gonna be fine.

im getting very close to not caring.

im sure the game will be fine with one fewer mediocre m+ tanks.

Every time I start having fun in my bear they decide to nerf it. The start of the season was fun. Then they smashed it into the ground and it was horrible to play. But I stuck with it to play with friends. Then they fixed the threat problems which made it more enjoyable, and so much less stressful. Now they’re nerfing it again after a single week.

It feels like they just have no idea what they’re doing and they balance around things that 5 people in the world would ever do, screwing the 99.9999% of the rest of the bears.

No wonder there is a tank shortage. Just absolutely ridiculous.

I enjoy the wording on the notes.

“This should bring Druid tanks back to what we want, which is ‘stronger than other tanks but slightly less so.’”

Blizz secretly confessing that they push metas

I like being a PVE bear, running solo content like delves, ritual sites, and whatever else comes along. I also like being able to do enough damage that I don’t fall asleep while fighting stuff.

Yes, the curse of the bear tank is that your worst enemy may be boredom as you swipe and thrash your way to victory while keeping your health topped off.

These constant adjustments are frustrating. I don’t have it in me to relearn a spec every other week…

Sigh.

A 25% decrease of a 200% increase = 125% increase of the original number. Bear still retains a buff from the original value.

In between m+ runs, I have been foing nightmare prey.

I have maybe 10 or so left for the nightmare mode iii achievement and mount.

I guess I’ll just focus on that stuff and stop caring about m+.
