The seal Twisting change for paladin is the dumbest thing ever for actual Dps, sacrificing a global cooldown in order to trigger one melee swing worth of extra damage is just bad. Factor in that the subsequent attacks now deal way less damage since SotM is roughly two times stronger than SoR. The increased mana usage while twisting also results in a net DPS loss even before facturing in that Exorcism already fills most of your globals anyway.
How is seal twisting more powerful than exorcism every GCD. Going back in terms of design is BAD. The current state of ret is sad, but twisting is not the way forward.
rejoice? REJOICE? seal twisting is useless in it's current state, we first need a buff to soc and rest of the kit for it to be anywhere near useful, who has the gcd to waste on a seal twist when you exo every gcd
@Bradolol-tx5pc not to mention the BiS weapon gives you very little time to fit that in on a 2.00 swing time, maybe if they remove martyrs damage normalization.
Just give Priests another dot that scales with your targets maximum hp, this way it can do decent damage on bosses and low damage on normal mobs and players.
I do not like seal twisting. Now I need to download an addon and watch a damn swing timer instead of watching my raid for my utility spells.. I dislike this :/ Buff other pally spells, not implement an unintended bug back into the game.
Cant understand why people like to watch a swing timer the entire time and play a fucking quick time event. Tried it in BC Classic and gave up after a few minutes because its a bullshit playstyle.
Idk I think this is the best buff they could possibly do as it makes the class super interesting to play again. Once you get used to the weapon swings you do not need to watch the swing timer constantly, it'll be second nature just like musicians playing with to a certain tempo. You can still pay attention to the utility spells.
Lmao, you will get muscle memory and won’t have to look on the swing timer, trust me! I went into tbc trying it and it wasnt a days work , just played and it came naturally. It feels much better than button mashing on a boss. Its rewarding as hell and i would deffo try it before you talk shit about it. Much love
1) Twisting is nowhere near competitive DPS while SoM is normalised and fast 2h exist 2) The worst part about twisting isnt the controversial mechanic itself, but the mouthbreathers that think its any more skillful than the exo spam lmao
i reallly hope seal twisting doesnt become the main focus of the rotation again, it probably wont given all the new neat abilities already, but WOW was it so boring and soul sucking in tbc. like staring at this little bar reaching a gap so you can preform whats essentially an overglorified glitch instead of using actual class thematic abilities. was not worth the high parses, id rather have an ability that just modifies the auto hits to be holy or something if we really need to add
Saying "paladins rejoice seal twisting is finally here" is the most out touch thing i've ever heard, the majority of rets dosen't like to look at swing timer and press a button at the right time. You are stuck in your top 1% echo chamber
Yeah, definitely not rejoicing. I don't like seal twisting as it puts everything into luck. Currently, while luck is still a factor, I can work on more crit to make the chance more likely. With Twisting, there is nothing I can do but hope for it to happen eventually
Even if seal twisting works now, the problem is mana regen.. at least at the moment, hopefully we get a mana regen ability in phase 4. But at the moment switching between comand and martyr will oom you farely quickly. And ofc if you use seal of martyrdom you loose divine storm and thus your only consistent source of cleave. Am I curious how much of a dps gain twisting is as of phase 3 though.
PvP has literally never been on the radar for classic wow lol you know whenever wow first came out there weren’t even PvP ranks right? Took even longer for WSG to be added. PvP in classic wow has literally always been an afterthought and the game doesn’t get balanced around PvP
why are you acting as if you didn't literally just get omegabuffed in the patch we literally just had like a week ago? stfu and pop your broken affliction.
So glad I just got done with my pvp'ing for this phase. Shadowpriests are already tier1 in PvP and they get a flat +10% damage done? What the actual fuck. Have fun you guys pvping xD
Actually you won't see a lot of Warlocks that run Demonic Pact. Your not going to get a Destruction warlock to do so because Incinerate is just too good to pass by. Demonology Warlocks and Affliction Warlocks might but as neither of those are as good as Destruction, you don't see a lot of DPS Demo or Afflic Locks. Even most Tank Locks like to use Incinerate so their Searing Pain spams are better.
Free Darkmoonfair buff for boomkins is nice. But buffs should mostly be just dmg buffs ( We needed it this time though) I would like to see more buffs to their actual buffs. Moonkin aura might help us as a flat. Mana issues are removed from the game but imagive if Innervate gave moonkins A spell power Or crit increase to arcane spells (an idea at least) Helps that support / dps role feel more alive
Holly pally's beacon and sacred shield need to be longer buff, same with blessings. I mean the book moves it to 10 min but every other class with a buff is 45 min (except war, which is so frustrating to reapply every 2 min).
why bring seal twisting back? I for one didn't want that terrible mechanic back if they wanted to fix ret they could have buffed or added some abilities to make it more steady/smother. non of the paladins in my guild like seal twisting its a chore to time it right and the requirement for a addon makes it's it less friendly for new paladins to play meta
It’s painfully obvious that blizzard doesn’t give two shits about PvP considering they buff and nerf based off raid parses nothing more nothing less all of these classes being buffed are OP in PvP so these buffs basically gunna ruin PvP
Give deep survival a talent to make Aspect of the Wild increase the strength/melee ap of the user by some amount, and replace maybe Imp Feign Death talent with that. Make aspects work for the whole raid instead of just group so they not only get a better damage boost, but also now have raid-wide utility. Now you've given survival more damage and utility, you've made Aspect of the Wild an ability worth using, and also inadvertently solved a qol issue with Aspect of the Pack
PvP is ruined by the Devs think that hybrid classes that can heal, have defensive cd's and bring other things to the raid need to do as much dmg as pure dps classes. Also can they nerf Pally damage while bubble is up, they just pop bubble offensively and train you down. Brain dead Blizzard Devs that cant balance PvE and PvP separately destroying their own game. GJ !
"Making them [warriors] by far the strongest class in the game". WRONG! Warriors are only "the strongest" when buffed to the brim with all world buffs etc, and even then, they are only "the best" in raid dps. In all other areas they cannot currently hold a candle to the other classes. I would love it if they gave warriors something else apart from being the "best dps" in the game. As it stands, they actually have to be the best, because in all other areas other classes do better. So if it were for me, they could nerf warrior dps (which is only that strong bc they scale so well with attack power, which we have plenty of even now due to all the buffs, items etc) for the tradeoff of giving them something in areas where they do not have to rely on other classes. Farming as a warrior sucks. Leveling as a warrior sucks. Solo open world pvp? Yeah you better go afk -please note that I have not played gladiator stance, I heard that might be somewhat different, but i fking hate using a shield, just personal preference- . Tl;dr: Nerf warrior dps or rage if you have to, but give them better levelling/better soloing in return.
Seal twisting is a horrible playstyle. You need addons for it and then you are usually gcd capped allrdy with exo procs, crusader strike, reapply seal and cons. What is the fun looking at a 0.3 second window all the time... Sealtwisting was a thing when you had NOTHING to do in between auto attacks and crusader strike, I mean they can leave it if it is not mandatory for doing good dps... but realy not a great playstyle and based on a bug from years ago.
It’s funny I had just learned/ been doing since. twisting Mart with righteous seal and it worked well, I noticed the difference as I just got done playing, it does better dps with the crits, the small swing timer isn’t too ugly.
Terrible "buff" to saber slash. It will take a lot more energy to get your 5 stacks of 3% and if they fall off due to being stunned or rng your dps is toast
"depending on how this works out" dont they have 20 people to test changes in a raid setting? dont they have some people that see how changes work out in pvp? they have so much money and resources but just change things without knowing how it will work out. every 10 year old can find a solution to buff shadow priest damage without a flat damage increase that ruins pvp even more, just buff the casted abilities that can be countered in pvp.
what are you talking about warriors man, Warriors are good when supported by full world buffs and an entire raid backing the warrior along with a hybrid spec specifically designed around hitting a raid boss every 30 minutes. What about after doing that 1 hour raid ? Whenever I go farm or Do bgs or events like stv or even just world pvp. The power from the raid does not translate, warrior is middle of the pack if not a bit lower when doing anything else in the game and thats not necessarily bad but its tiring for videos to describe warriors as god mode when melee hunters , shamans and rogues take the power they bring in raids and it translates to everything else they are doing. They are strong pvpers farmers and generally they are a powerful class within everything they do. Where as classes that may be weak in a raid environment are strong Pvpers and generally not weak doing everything else in the game. Even though rage is good in raids, it is a resource that needs to be built and pick up steam. Meaning that in pvp and generally solo or small group type content you wait for your resource to get going. So unless you have a healer with you ALWAYS it can be hard to farm or even pvp when classes with immediate resources like mana and energy can just unload on you, in a burst heavy game mode and warrior survivability, defensives aren't really there and it takes time for us to get going. Generally because of lack of fun runes and gladiator stance being a flop as far as a fun game mechanic and not just a damage modifier reducing you to one button in only raids mechanic, wars are really underwhelming in sod. I love warrior and played mainly only warrior since 2004 but blind loyalty is not the way and wish this class would just be allowed to do something different and cool
Buffing whoever cries the most is not how you balance a game. They have no vision or direction, they are just letting players guide this game off a cliff.
Affliction Warlocks and Destruction warlocks SHOULD NOT BE GROUPED TOGETHER!!! Affliction is really behind right now and after the Lake of Fire nerf, Destruction is hugely nerfed right now. I think a way to buff Affliction while also not just giving them a flat damage increase would be to look at the Rune Soul Siphon. Basically all warlocks use Master Channeler (PvP) or Demonic Tactics (PvE) and if we made Soul Siphon do more damage based on all dots with no cap, Affliction might just be back in the game and you might make a rune viable as well.
The spriest and boomy buffs were so needed for anything outside of raids! finally they can hold their own in the open world and bg's! thank you aggrend
wtb thrash cat (cat aoe), consumable/potting in cat form / innervate in cat. the shapeshift set piece mana reduction on shred is a step in the right direct, more of this, less of useless rake /rip, feroucious bite misses ALWAYS
its supposed to be that way. I personally wish that I had not looked up the guides for them and had simply found them myself because its that whole Discovery aspect of the game that I enjoy. If you just want to be spoon fed content go to Retail or Cata.
I think they implement seal twisting for command to be viable again and not having to only use a 2.0 speed weapon. Aka you don’t have to farm freakin sul’thraze for you to be anywhere near competative.. Imagine actually be able to use weapons from the raid?
The complexity is not made for more complex fights. Seal twisting will probably be worse than martyr plus exor alone, because you loose so many procs with a slower weapon. I really dunno... shouldve increased the internal count for command from 7 to 10-12 for it to be viable with faster weapons.
I feel like they should give a look at Chaos bolt and make it work with shadowbolt talents and also change intensity to allow shadowbolt(chaos bolt) and incinerate have a chance to ignore pushback on cast to allow destro to be usable in pvp. Warlocks needs pushback ignore because we don't have utility or disengage outside of deathcoil a 3 min cd.
Rogue changes are dumb, firstly no one plays saber slash, secondly they changes it to stack up to 5 times but reduced the bleed to 3% per stack from 5% so its still 15% ap bleed which isnt enough to be good. i dont knoe who is making these rogue changes but they clearly don’t understand the changes they are making
Great now I gotta play in an over complicated, add on required, rotation that’s going to be even more annoying then classic due to there even being more spells on global cooldown. Think I’m going to reclass. Also why do we even need this crusader strike change? All of the judgements we use refresh on melee already, and I guess let’s ignore the fact that divine storm, the rune a huge amount of people would rather use is still crap right now?
Warriors aren't great at AoE either. Warlocks can do it but they either have to talent into it or have someone else hold aggro (usually not a problem in raids but you get my point) and half their aoe spells DAMAGE THEMSELVES. Priests don't even have like an "AoE" spell other than like Holy Nova (Unless im forgetting something), Hunters have traps but if your not using a specific rune then you can't even do it in combat unless you get someone to hold aggro for you so you can Volley. Half the classes in the game have poor AoE options
@@danielcanty5727 warrriors have options to sweeping strikes+cleave+whirlwind. Warlocks have rain of fire, shadowbolt volley and hellfire as well as access to passive aoe in immolation. Rogues have shuriken toss as a fuckin rune. We are not the same. Hunters, Shamans, Priests, Palys and even druids have AoE. We’re literally the only class that doesnt.
@@MaliceEightEight Lets think. Shadowbolt Volley and Immolation are both RUNES as you said the rogue one was. I concede that Warriors have more aoe than I rememberd thanks for the education. What AOE do preists have other than Holy Nova? Volley and Rain of fire get interupted if you try to use it without anything to slow. Hunters need Trap Launcher to be able to use traps in combat so they have to pre-trap. Paladin AOE is either rune locked or talent locked in consecration which means that movement is an issue. Besides. Rogues have THE MOST stuns out of any class in the game. Rogues are one of the best Single Target classes in the game.
The saber slash buff is nice, but they should leave the max number of stacks as they were, and just make the dmg buff a +25% for each stack. Maybe then it would be closer to mutilate, as that doesn't need any build up. Also it's really sad that they haven't tried to help any of the dead runes many classes have, and that pvp isn't on their mind at all.
i think the survival tree for hunters could be made into a tanking spec night elves have decent dodge hunter moves proc from dodging can range/pet pull into explosive trap tons of aoe and single target threat potential already built in do it blizzard!
Combined with opening free transfers from PvP to PvE realms. Guna be a huge change in class population on pvp realms soon. Guna be only shaman, priests left
Looks like Tank Shamans running Elemental Fury/Flurry as their spec are getting hit pretty hard with this Mental Dexterity change. Granted it is a buff for tanking Trash but it is limiting it's boss tanking potential. Correct me if I am wrong though.
The 21/20 build is dead following this. Deep enha is going to be the stick from here on out sadly. Shaman tanks are dropping further and further behind the other tanks in terms of dps and survivability after each resent "tuning".
Massive nerf for ele shaman. Loosing around ~250sp, and aoe dmg will not help on single target boss fights.... They just killed elemental and will become the lowest dps 120%
yeah and thanks to ele shamans running absolute degen builds, enhancement got nerfed as a result, so thanks for that. you guys knew god damn well you weren't supposed to be "melee weaving" mental dex and you did it anyway, and you all knew blizzard would bring the hammer down hard on this, so good job, you just ruined spellhance tank because you wanted to hit big lava bursts through the most ineffective playstyle imaginable because MUH SIIIIIIIIIMS. i hope they gut elemental beyond anything but a pve turret now because you guys can't be trusted not to ruin it for enhancement players. your monkey business got our ability to tank nerfed, and you'll never be forgiven for that.
@@ZugzugZugzugson So they are only allowed to stand their and shoot things? what like a Hunter? OH WAIT! even hunters used to Melee weave in-between their attacks. Shamans are a cool class that definitely need some nerfs but I think that people found an interesting way to play the class and use a rune that might not have been specifically designed for them is what SoD is all about. Discovery and ingenuity. Stop whining and go back to playing the best class in the game. You have nothing to complain about.
What do you think it is Right now? as a Warlock, if I open on someone im going to stun them for 3 seconds (Felguard Charge), Cast Incinerate, Death Coil, cast Chaos Bolt. That kills most players and if they resist or something like that, they still have to kill me as a tanky boi with tons of stamina and the best self healing in the Game. However, if I get jumped by anyone I usually die because I can't get my self healing up and running and while im HP tanky, unless im in Metamorphasis i have shit armor and die. Same goes for most classes except Shamans who are HP tanky, Armor tanky, and can burst out the sun by casting lava burst as enhance and still 1 shot you.
My goal is to get my boomkin finished in the next week and then work on my spriest or hunter. I would like to have everything at level 60 early on in the next phase but with my limited time, it might be best to just stick with one or two level 60s. My concern is how long will phase four last? I mean they have so much they can do with that phase it would be nice to phase four last longer than a month or two.
Rogues are forced to play mutilate, seriously? Hunters are forced to play bm since phase one i came to this fakin sod for lone wolf hunter is that serious
The 4 most annoying classes in PvP, SP/Elemental/Balance/Rogue get buffed and not nerfed, wrong call tbh and utter cluelessness from the people that call themselves developers. Truly a clownfiesta to make buffs for specs that utterly dominate PvP and underperform in PvE, or even in rogues case, overperform in both and STILL get buffed.
finding out that seal twisting, this almost revered paladin gameplay lost to time that you just had to be there to experience, was just watching the swing timer to swap seals cracks me the fuck up
Seal Twisting is about as "fun" as sitting down in the middle of combat, to receive a crit, to get an extra reckoning swing. The only reason it was fun back in the day was that you "cheated" some more dmg out of the system, and that you didn't have anything else to press, but the actual gameplay of it was janky and not at all fun. It didn't feel like you played how it was supposed to be played, because it wasn't. So leaning into this, instead of giving us actual abilities to use is stupid. Less than 10% of paladins are going to use this.
I wish they rework Aim Shot for hunters, its useless, 3 sec cast for 600dmg flat to 1000-1200 crit dmg, and moonkin is doing Starfire for 2.5k-3k dmg crit
Finally i can go ranged Elemental again, still with an big nerf to single target tho, they need to give ele some more love, gonna be worst dps class this coming update im afraid 😢
Major nerf to ele shamans (burn buff doesnt compensate losing MD); tank shamans now FORCED to be enhance (most were playing 21/20) with still no compensation to the garbage tank playstyle of enhancement.... what is blizz even doing? Tank shaman were already one of the worst tanks (lowest dmg) and now we're even worse. What is going on?
yea, and thanks to ele degens, tank shamans are now even worse off than before. didn't take the hint when they reduced mental dex to 10 seconds, and now we are here, so we can literally put all the blame on people who play elemental as this is purely 100% their fault.
@@ZugzugZugzugson I don’t see how we blame ele players for this. Their dmg was in the gutter and burn was shit 😂 I blame blizzard for having, clearly, zero internal testing and no direction for how they want tank shamans to play
"The worst two are boomy / spriest..." bro.... Arcane.... Mage.... it's right there!! Why does Bliz hate us sooo much :'( if they do anything to touch Arcane Surge for mages I'll be so sad, it's the ONLY thing they have going for them outside of raid healing at the minute!
Refusing to do pvp specific balance changes is going to continue to make SoD pvp horrible until they give in and start doing nerfs to damage against enemy players.
pvp'd an arcane mage yesterday. got him to 10% with a dot ticking. dude popped mana shield and sheeped me for what felt like 10 minutes and instantly healed from 10% > 100% then he /laugh'd /dance'd and gutted me with a single arcane surge that took me from 100%>0% and then teabagged me. ya, arcane mage in desperate need of attention alright....
Shamans have always been a top dps contender, top tanking spec, and Elemental has usually been in the upper middle. Restoration could use a buff but I think that people are worried that if they buff resto, the community is gunna go crazy with "why buffing shamans".
@@Germ4ch Yeah I agree with you. Though Enhancement and Warden Shamans were pretty good if I do remember correctly. But Resto has sucked all of SoD. They only thing they have going for them is that they never run out of mana
The three worst specs in raids spriest, boomy, and ele are also the biggest terrorists in pvp

The best way to buff spriests/casters specifically in raid is to buff warlocks demonic pact and make it raid wide.
"the only way to buff this class is to buff my class"

Actually you won't see a lot of Warlocks that run Demonic Pact. Your not going to get a Destruction warlock to do so because Incinerate is just too good to pass by.

These Paladin changes aren't buffs it's just going to make it annoying to play Ret even more now
Seal twisting won’t see play for ret. Exo spam will destroy its dps
Holly pally's beacon and sacred shield need to be longer buff, same with blessings. I mean the book moves it to 10 min but every other class with a buff is 45 min (except war, which is so frustrating to reapply every 2 min).
why bring seal twisting back? I for one didn't want that terrible mechanic back if they wanted to fix ret they could have buffed or added some abilities to make it more steady/smother. non of the paladins in my guild like seal twisting its a chore to time it right and the requirement for a addon makes it's it less friendly for new paladins to play meta
It’s painfully obvious that blizzard doesn’t give two shits about PvP considering they buff and nerf based off raid parses nothing more nothing less all of these classes being buffed are OP in PvP so these buffs basically gunna ruin PvP
Give deep survival a talent to make Aspect of the Wild increase the strength/melee ap of the user by some amount, and replace maybe Imp Feign Death talent with that. Make aspects work for the whole raid instead of just group so they not only get a better damage boost, but also now have raid-wide utility. Now you've given survival more damage and utility, you've made Aspect of the Wild an ability worth using, and also inadvertently solved a qol issue with Aspect of the Pack
Just make Aspect of the Beast what it is in later expansions. +10% Melee Damage for the Hunter and Pet.
@@danielcanty5727 yea aotb would be a cool option
PvP is ruined by the Devs think that hybrid classes that can heal, have defensive cd's and bring other things to the raid need to do as much dmg as pure dps classes. Also can they nerf Pally damage while bubble is up, they just pop bubble offensively and train you down. Brain dead Blizzard Devs that cant balance PvE and PvP separately destroying their own game. GJ !
"Making them [warriors] by far the strongest class in the game". WRONG! Warriors are only "the strongest" when buffed to the brim with all world buffs etc, and even then, they are only "the best" in raid dps. In all other areas they cannot currently hold a candle to the other classes. I would love it if they gave warriors something else apart from being the "best dps" in the game. As it stands, they actually have to be the best, because in all other areas other classes do better. So if it were for me, they could nerf warrior dps (which is only that strong bc they scale so well with attack power, which we have plenty of even now due to all the buffs, items etc) for the tradeoff of giving them something in areas where they do not have to rely on other classes. Farming as a warrior sucks. Leveling as a warrior sucks. Solo open world pvp? Yeah you better go afk -please note that I have not played gladiator stance, I heard that might be somewhat different, but i fking hate using a shield, just personal preference- . Tl;dr: Nerf warrior dps or rage if you have to, but give them better levelling/better soloing in return.
dont you know they decide to buff or nerf based on warcraftlogs?
All pvpers are gonna quit - SOD is an absolute unbalanced mess if u want to pvp.
vanilla always was pvp unbalanced.
@@Osanveoriginal classic pvp was not unbalanced lol, there was a lot of back and forth and baiting out defensives and trinkets what are u smoking
@@josephh4579 coolstory bro. coolstory. does the word “globaled” ring the bell for you?
Seal twisting is a horrible playstyle. You need addons for it and then you are usually gcd capped allrdy with exo procs, crusader strike, reapply seal and cons. What is the fun looking at a 0.3 second window all the time... Sealtwisting was a thing when you had NOTHING to do in between auto attacks and crusader strike, I mean they can leave it if it is not mandatory for doing good dps... but realy not a great playstyle and based on a bug from years ago.
It’s funny I had just learned/ been doing since. twisting Mart with righteous seal and it worked well, I noticed the difference as I just got done playing, it does better dps with the crits, the small swing timer isn’t too ugly.
Terrible "buff" to saber slash. It will take a lot more energy to get your 5 stacks of 3% and if they fall off due to being stunned or rng your dps is toast
@Bradolol-tx5pc you must be playing an ele shaman
"depending on how this works out" dont they have 20 people to test changes in a raid setting? dont they have some people that see how changes work out in pvp? they have so much money and resources but just change things without knowing how it will work out. every 10 year old can find a solution to buff shadow priest damage without a flat damage increase that ruins pvp even more, just buff the casted abilities that can be countered in pvp.
what are you talking about warriors man, Warriors are good when supported by full world buffs and an entire raid backing the warrior along with a hybrid spec specifically designed around hitting a raid boss every 30 minutes. What about after doing that 1 hour raid ? Whenever I go farm or Do bgs or events like stv or even just world pvp. The power from the raid does not translate, warrior is middle of the pack if not a bit lower when doing anything else in the game and thats not necessarily bad but its tiring for videos to describe warriors as god mode when melee hunters , shamans and rogues take the power they bring in raids and it translates to everything else they are doing. They are strong pvpers farmers and generally they are a powerful class within everything they do. Where as classes that may be weak in a raid environment are strong Pvpers and generally not weak doing everything else in the game.
Even though rage is good in raids, it is a resource that needs to be built and pick up steam. Meaning that in pvp and generally solo or small group type content you wait for your resource to get going. So unless you have a healer with you ALWAYS it can be hard to farm or even pvp when classes with immediate resources like mana and energy can just unload on you, in a burst heavy game mode and warrior survivability, defensives aren't really there and it takes time for us to get going. Generally because of lack of fun runes and gladiator stance being a flop as far as a fun game mechanic and not just a damage modifier reducing you to one button in only raids mechanic, wars are really underwhelming in sod. I love warrior and played mainly only warrior since 2004 but blind loyalty is not the way and wish this class would just be allowed to do something different and cool
Buffing whoever cries the most is not how you balance a game. They have no vision or direction, they are just letting players guide this game off a cliff.
Affliction Warlocks and Destruction warlocks SHOULD NOT BE GROUPED TOGETHER!!! Affliction is really behind right now and after the Lake of Fire nerf, Destruction is hugely nerfed right now. I think a way to buff Affliction while also not just giving them a flat damage increase would be to look at the Rune Soul Siphon. Basically all warlocks use Master Channeler (PvP) or Demonic Tactics (PvE) and if we made Soul Siphon do more damage based on all dots with no cap, Affliction might just be back in the game and you might make a rune viable as well.
The change reads 15% per stack so that is an insane buff on the Sabreslash once you have the dots up
The spriest and boomy buffs were so needed for anything outside of raids! finally they can hold their own in the open world and bg's! thank you aggrend
Now when we get our rune in phase 4 that makes seals undispelable. We'll be unstoppable
Nobody is rejoicing… seal twisting sucks…
wtb thrash cat (cat aoe), consumable/potting in cat form / innervate in cat. the shapeshift set piece mana reduction on shred is a step in the right direct, more of this, less of useless rake /rip, feroucious bite misses ALWAYS
Almost at 100k big dog. Hell yeah brother !!
Seal twisting is only good if you're a try hard. 90% of the casuals will probs hate it.
time to l2p then. shouldn't cater to a lack of skill.
I hate this Phase 3 Season of Runes. Every phase Blizzard making Finding these damn Runes harder and harder.
you can just find them online...
its supposed to be that way. I personally wish that I had not looked up the guides for them and had simply found them myself because its that whole Discovery aspect of the game that I enjoy. If you just want to be spoon fed content go to Retail or Cata.
I think they implement seal twisting for command to be viable again and not having to only use a 2.0 speed weapon. Aka you don’t have to farm freakin sul’thraze for you to be anywhere near competative..
Imagine actually be able to use weapons from the raid?
Where are the resto shaman buffs
wait so Burn basically increases flameshock damage by 500% now? What the heck
its crazy how two of the weakest pve are insane in pvp now they are gonna be even more insane in pvp :*D
i can’t fuckin stand boomies in pvp as a rogue lol
spriest pve dps did need the buff butttttt in pvp, cant wait for only 1 dot to kill me ^^
why they dont buff ferals? we dont have a single aoe we need swipe to be used in cat aswell it sucks beeing useless at trash^^
Don’t worry Shadows and Survivals, Cataclysm pre patch is in a week. 😂
The complexity is not made for more complex fights. Seal twisting will probably be worse than martyr plus exor alone, because you loose so many procs with a slower weapon. I really dunno... shouldve increased the internal count for command from 7 to 10-12 for it to be viable with faster weapons.
I feel like they should give a look at Chaos bolt and make it work with shadowbolt talents and also change intensity to allow shadowbolt(chaos bolt) and incinerate have a chance to ignore pushback on cast to allow destro to be usable in pvp. Warlocks needs pushback ignore because we don't have utility or disengage outside of deathcoil a 3 min cd.
We have Howl of Terror as well but that comes with its own Drawbacks I agree.
Rogue changes are dumb, firstly no one plays saber slash, secondly they changes it to stack up to 5 times but reduced the bleed to 3% per stack from 5% so its still 15% ap bleed which isnt enough to be good. i dont knoe who is making these rogue changes but they clearly don’t understand the changes they are making
Typical 😂 PvE Andy’s cry and don’t even understand that they are gods in PvP
Bro what are you smoking why the hell would I want to seal twist in SOD????
you asked for a buff. here is your buff.
careful what you wish for, i guess. lmao.
Great now I gotta play in an over complicated, add on required, rotation that’s going to be even more annoying then classic due to there even being more spells on global cooldown. Think I’m going to reclass. Also why do we even need this crusader strike change? All of the judgements we use refresh on melee already, and I guess let’s ignore the fact that divine storm, the rune a huge amount of people would rather use is still crap right now?
@Bradolol-tx5pc found the shaman
@Bradolol-tx5pc found the spriest
Rogues still need a 3k gold DMF trinket to have aoe dmg.
7k on my server
Warriors aren't great at AoE either. Warlocks can do it but they either have to talent into it or have someone else hold aggro (usually not a problem in raids but you get my point) and half their aoe spells DAMAGE THEMSELVES. Priests don't even have like an "AoE" spell other than like Holy Nova (Unless im forgetting something), Hunters have traps but if your not using a specific rune then you can't even do it in combat unless you get someone to hold aggro for you so you can Volley. Half the classes in the game have poor AoE options
@@danielcanty5727 warrriors have options to sweeping strikes+cleave+whirlwind.
Warlocks have rain of fire, shadowbolt volley and hellfire as well as access to passive aoe in immolation.
Rogues have shuriken toss as a fuckin rune. We are not the same.
Hunters, Shamans, Priests, Palys and even druids have AoE. We’re literally the only class that doesnt.
@@MaliceEightEight Lets think. Shadowbolt Volley and Immolation are both RUNES as you said the rogue one was. I concede that Warriors have more aoe than I rememberd thanks for the education. What AOE do preists have other than Holy Nova? Volley and Rain of fire get interupted if you try to use it without anything to slow. Hunters need Trap Launcher to be able to use traps in combat so they have to pre-trap. Paladin AOE is either rune locked or talent locked in consecration which means that movement is an issue. Besides. Rogues have THE MOST stuns out of any class in the game. Rogues are one of the best Single Target classes in the game.
Mages mana still needs to be looked at. I’ve spent nearly 10,000 years drinking water
Get mara dagger
get help, stop drinking
The saber slash buff is nice, but they should leave the max number of stacks as they were, and just make the dmg buff a +25% for each stack. Maybe then it would be closer to mutilate, as that doesn't need any build up.
Also it's really sad that they haven't tried to help any of the dead runes many classes have, and that pvp isn't on their mind at all.
i think the survival tree for hunters could be made into a tanking spec night elves have decent dodge hunter moves proc from dodging can range/pet pull into explosive trap tons of aoe and single target threat potential already built in do it blizzard!
No... who would like to tank as a hunter? I want to do dmg, not tank, we don't have melee spec at all, its just melee runes with pet talents
Combined with opening free transfers from PvP to PvE realms.
Guna be a huge change in class population on pvp realms soon. Guna be only shaman, priests left
Looks like Tank Shamans running Elemental Fury/Flurry as their spec are getting hit pretty hard with this Mental Dexterity change. Granted it is a buff for tanking Trash but it is limiting it's boss tanking potential. Correct me if I am wrong though.
The 21/20 build is dead following this. Deep enha is going to be the stick from here on out sadly. Shaman tanks are dropping further and further behind the other tanks in terms of dps and survivability after each resent "tuning".
And now we will never use divine storm as ret. Seal twisting is a very annoying playstyle, and feels like a scuffed mechanic.
Massive nerf for ele shaman. Loosing around ~250sp, and aoe dmg will not help on single target boss fights.... They just killed elemental and will become the lowest dps 120%
yeah and thanks to ele shamans running absolute degen builds, enhancement got nerfed as a result, so thanks for that.
you guys knew god damn well you weren't supposed to be "melee weaving" mental dex and you did it anyway, and you all knew blizzard would bring the hammer down hard on this, so good job, you just ruined spellhance tank because you wanted to hit big lava bursts through the most ineffective playstyle imaginable because MUH SIIIIIIIIIMS.
i hope they gut elemental beyond anything but a pve turret now because you guys can't be trusted not to ruin it for enhancement players. your monkey business got our ability to tank nerfed, and you'll never be forgiven for that.
@@ZugzugZugzugson So they are only allowed to stand their and shoot things? what like a Hunter? OH WAIT! even hunters used to Melee weave in-between their attacks. Shamans are a cool class that definitely need some nerfs but I think that people found an interesting way to play the class and use a rune that might not have been specifically designed for them is what SoD is all about. Discovery and ingenuity. Stop whining and go back to playing the best class in the game. You have nothing to complain about.
If they don’t change the approach, pvp next phase will be a competition on who opens first :D
What do you think it is Right now? as a Warlock, if I open on someone im going to stun them for 3 seconds (Felguard Charge), Cast Incinerate, Death Coil, cast Chaos Bolt. That kills most players and if they resist or something like that, they still have to kill me as a tanky boi with tons of stamina and the best self healing in the Game. However, if I get jumped by anyone I usually die because I can't get my self healing up and running and while im HP tanky, unless im in Metamorphasis i have shit armor and die. Same goes for most classes except Shamans who are HP tanky, Armor tanky, and can burst out the sun by casting lava burst as enhance and still 1 shot you.
My goal is to get my boomkin finished in the next week and then work on my spriest or hunter. I would like to have everything at level 60 early on in the next phase but with my limited time, it might be best to just stick with one or two level 60s. My concern is how long will phase four last? I mean they have so much they can do with that phase it would be nice to phase four last longer than a month or two.
wow moon/sun fire spam/ s priests dots are going to do more damage in pvp? fun.... not
Rogues are forced to play mutilate, seriously? Hunters are forced to play bm since phase one i came to this fakin sod for lone wolf hunter is that serious
The 4 most annoying classes in PvP, SP/Elemental/Balance/Rogue get buffed and not nerfed, wrong call tbh and utter cluelessness from the people that call themselves developers.
Truly a clownfiesta to make buffs for specs that utterly dominate PvP and underperform in PvE, or even in rogues case, overperform in both and STILL get buffed.
When will this be live?
finding out that seal twisting, this almost revered paladin gameplay lost to time that you just had to be there to experience, was just watching the swing timer to swap seals cracks me the fuck up
Move hot streak to head slot for mages so it’s not just a single button rotation 👌🏼
Seal Twisting is about as "fun" as sitting down in the middle of combat, to receive a crit, to get an extra reckoning swing. The only reason it was fun back in the day was that you "cheated" some more dmg out of the system, and that you didn't have anything else to press, but the actual gameplay of it was janky and not at all fun. It didn't feel like you played how it was supposed to be played, because it wasn't. So leaning into this, instead of giving us actual abilities to use is stupid.
Less than 10% of paladins are going to use this.
I wish they rework Aim Shot for hunters, its useless, 3 sec cast for 600dmg flat to 1000-1200 crit dmg, and moonkin is doing Starfire for 2.5k-3k dmg crit
starfall is not even in the game.
@@ZugzugZugzugson I meant Starfire
Finally i can go ranged Elemental again, still with an big nerf to single target tho, they need to give ele some more love, gonna be worst dps class this coming update im afraid 😢
Major nerf to ele shamans (burn buff doesnt compensate losing MD); tank shamans now FORCED to be enhance (most were playing 21/20) with still no compensation to the garbage tank playstyle of enhancement.... what is blizz even doing? Tank shaman were already one of the worst tanks (lowest dmg) and now we're even worse. What is going on?
yea, and thanks to ele degens, tank shamans are now even worse off than before.
didn't take the hint when they reduced mental dex to 10 seconds, and now we are here, so we can literally put all the blame on people who play elemental as this is purely 100% their fault.
@@ZugzugZugzugson I don’t see how we blame ele players for this. Their dmg was in the gutter and burn was shit 😂 I blame blizzard for having, clearly, zero internal testing and no direction for how they want tank shamans to play
Rogues are among the top dps in ST, let’s buff them
"The worst two are boomy / spriest..." bro.... Arcane.... Mage.... it's right there!! Why does Bliz hate us sooo much :'( if they do anything to touch Arcane Surge for mages I'll be so sad, it's the ONLY thing they have going for them outside of raid healing at the minute!
Refusing to do pvp specific balance changes is going to continue to make SoD pvp horrible until they give in and start doing nerfs to damage against enemy players.
Why not make dots deal more dmg when using mind flay, or tick twice? how can they just buff flat dmg...
my question is why arcane mage not getting any buffs they falling off hard
Because it's a healing spec
@@Villarax LMAOOOOOOOOOO
pvp'd an arcane mage yesterday. got him to 10% with a dot ticking. dude popped mana shield and sheeped me for what felt like 10 minutes and instantly healed from 10% > 100% then he /laugh'd /dance'd and gutted me with a single arcane surge that took me from 100%>0% and then teabagged me.
ya, arcane mage in desperate need of attention alright....
Why in tf are they buffing spriest?? PVP is dead now
yea forcing us to use an unintended or broken mechanic to do more dps? rejoice my ass.
I just hope they replace warriors consumed by rage rune with something, other than that dont touch anything blizz.

Shamans have always been a top dps contender, top tanking spec, and Elemental has usually been in the upper middle. Restoration could use a buff but I think that people are worried that if they buff resto, the community is gunna go crazy with "why buffing shamans".
