Blizz isn't terrible at testing their own content, but why pay for testers when you can have it done for free? It's basically what WoW has turned into. Blizz knows the high end ultra elite guilds will test stuff the moment they are able to, in order to get world firsts and all that E-peen stuff. So they use those ppl as free labor.

1) When Sinestra was being first attempted on Live
2) When Nef was first killed on Live

Blizzard is terrible at testing their own shit.

This^ and they have proven it time and time again with bugged out bosses, and not even just the end bosses either but sometimes bosses that were tested and had reports in about certain bugs and they went live anyways.

Glyph of Dark Succor has been redesigned. Rather than placing a 15% maximum health floor on Death Strike healing while in Frost or Unholy Presence, it causes the next Death Strike within 15 seconds after killing a foe that yields experience or Honor Points to heal for at least 20% of the death knight's maximum health.

The FUCK is this shit, seriously now?

•Guarded By The Light no longer interacts with Holy Shield in any way.
•Holy Shield has been redesigned. This talent is now an activated ability off the global cooldown. It grants 20% increased block amount to a paladin's shield blocks for 10 seconds, with a 30-second cooldown.

Are paladin tanks really overpowered? It feels like we are getting a new nerfs every other week, when I see no change for the other tanks. I did feel a bit OP early in cata, but since WoG nerfs, I don't get these changes.

At least they are giving us new icons and animation, and we won't mana starve as much (like we did before)....Thanks blizzard!


Oh well, in the end, if it means I have to toggle more often between the seal, it could be fun, but I doubt it.

Was wondering when you'd see that. I realize it's a pvp-oriented change, but this kicks me in the dick for pve. I can't count how many times a DS has saved my ass. This just means i'm eating dirt far more often. Lame.

The fuck? I was going to spec away from Guarded by the Light eventually but now it's just blatantly not worth 2 talent points for 10% extra healing on a 20s cd healing spell. And redesigned Holy shield with the secret meaning of "we copied warrior lol"

Because homogenization is blizzards way of balancing classes since cata.

Oh I use it a lot in PvE too on some fights just to help out the healers a little bit during stressful times or if i'm going low and know a heal isnt coming in soon enough.

This is a huge kick in the dick for pvp, I honestly don't even know wtf DK's will do because we will be trained to death within the first few seconds of any match. Currently you could get a kill on a DK with a skilled disarm or some ranged kitting (I've had feral druids do this to me before which is annoying...but hey it works for them and it's a good strategy). If the changes are not reverted for DS I don't know what i'll do, probably just pvp on another character because why the fuck should I bother on my DK when it's going to be nerfed multiple times every patch.

And i'm sure they are not even close to being done yet. Even though the forums are in an uproar.

It makes for some really exciting fun when everyone is a cookie cutter of everyone else!!!! That's how you design a game, make it as bland as possible!

Guarded by the Light still convert the overhealing of WoG in a shield that absorb damage. It's still useful to even out the damage curves when there is a big hit that is otw (like crackle on Nef)

Honestly this is fucking retarded. They can go eat a fucking dick.

After reading what you said about the HC nerf and thinking a little I was like "yeah..yeah it will take more skill to pull it off but that's fine, Odon is right it's not a huge deal"

Now I see the Dark Succor nerf and I want to punch Ghostcrawler in the throat. No hope for this game if they cater to forum QQ by destroying classes.

[Katlan]

I've lost a lot of hope for the game since cata. The game just has gone down hill (imo) at a very fast pace. To me it almost seems like they are trying to kill their own mmo. Classes are becoming less and less unique. PVE gets destroyed for PVP reasons. Content is becoming slower and slower... and every patch its nerf this or buff that, just leave shit alone for once and stop drastically changing classes left and right

[Odon]

PVE gets destroyed for PVP reasons.

Um...

No................................................ ... It's the other way around.

[Guitarman]

Look, i like wow, i really do, but this is complete stupidity. The fun of the game for me when I first started was every class felt different. Now, we keep getting closer and closer to "tank with a dark skin, light skin, or combat skin" "melee dps with dark skin, light skin, two swords 1 sword" blandness. I LIKED using death strike's 15% health regain in PVE because >I< could have more control over my character and help the healers. I wasn't 100% reliant on an already over-taxed healer. I don't know much about tanking, but I know enough to see why you guys are bitching about the pally changes. Blizz really needs to wake the fuck up and bring back whoever left that made this game great. The people changing shit now are buttfucking retarded.

I know we've beaten this topic like a dead horse, but it's still awful one even has to affect the other because of dev laziness when they're making millions.

But it's soooooooooooooooooooooo hard to balance the both of them QQ *warrior CS* QQ

This patch basically confirms there is little to no hope left for the game if this is how they will "balance" any class deemed OP

Exactly, they've already shown its possible to balance abilities for PvP and PvE differently, they need to just fucking do it for the full game. Granted WoW being dropped by MLG was a huge hit.. (Because the Devs were too fucking lazy to update the spectator's client.)

[Tajin]

The paladin changes are hilarious, at least its off the GCD, paladin tanking was dull enough with everything on the GCD

Edit:
This one is AMAZING though:
"Bear damage abilities were scaling too fast with higher gear levels compared to other tanks, so the following balance changes have been made. All the numbers cited are for level 85 characters; numbers will be lower for lower-level characters."

Basically: 'We said we wouldnt run into problems with the new way stats work" (which they said back in wotlk but hey) "but bears are OP and they need a nerf".


High end guilds will still stack or do whatever is needed to kill shit first/fast, I've never understood the need of blizzard to nerf this sort of not really game braking stuff, its not like EVERY guild and/or tank is going to reroll bear just because gear scales better, seriously. Hell I dont see enough bears as is and they are not bad atm.

[Kaylia]

They never said they wouldnt nerf anyone, they said it would be easier to tune damage taken/dealt with the new system

[Tajin]

So nothing is wrong when you're adjusting over and over and its only the second tier of the exp?

[Kaylia]

I can't speak for every classes, but most change I've dealt with were relatively minor. There is a few specs that are falling behind, but I don't think there is a huge balance issue, or at least, not as bad as some of you make it sound. Adjustement when a new tier of contents is released don't bother me that much...it's not like anything you did before matter, and all that matter is how balanced the next 6 months will be.

The worst issue is the dance between pvp and pve...they should seriously start thinking about making different rules for utility skills.
