Nothing too extreme (thankfully), about what I expected with the nerfs honestly.

I don't think the buffs will solve many problems though, Shadow Priest for example is in a really bad place. I do hope that the buffs to demo will make it more viable since it is an incredibly fun spec to play (they really nailed that rebuild), it just didn't have the numbers.

I hope Demo Lock performs much better in Uldir. I was at the bottom in terms of DPS throughout the whole raid.

I'm using a warlock at Uldir, and Demo/Destruction are terrible. The only fight that I saw Demo shinning a little bit was Zul, but only til he gets to 40% health. Affliction is still the king, and this nerf is just a 1% nerf on his DPS.

Yea it sucks a lot. I really enjoy the fast playstyle of Demo Lock but I don't wanna switch specs because of dps. I'd rather go through content playing specs I find fun.

Nothing too extreme? That disc priest nerf is huge.... 9% damage loss (the thing that makes them unique as healers) is also a big healing loss. The pally and shaman buffs were good, but they didn't get rid of a "bottom tier" healer, they just put disc there. That isn't tuning, that's shuffling.

They needed it, though. Their numbers are bonkers.

Not by any means, have you looked at any logs? They are middle of the pack in healing and right between healers and tanks in damage.

Really?! After playing a month with the specialization and farm everything to be able raid in best gear.. now I can re-spec. Amazing, thanks Blizzard, your logic is epic. This -5 / +5 will not solve the terrible balance issues guys. This is like how a 10 year old kid solve a problem.

And this is how a 10 year old kid is crying...

every expac so far had those broken things nerfed, underperforming classes given small buffs to have atleast a chance to be competitive but dont be too strong, op classes to come down to mortal levels without being useless all of a sudden... simple as that. Classes do not need a rework so far cause most of the specs feel good as i know. So percent tuning is just fine.

Stop being butthurt, rogues still are the kings of this expac so far

As someone who play Demonology, I had feared this was going to happen.

5% will do nothing for the spec, and the same will be the case for Destruction. They are so severely underpowered that they needed at least 10% to be feasible to work with, and seeing as Affliction only got a bit of a bashing to their ST burst CD, but not any of the talents or the DoT's, it will remain the only usable Warlock spec. A darn shame. :(

Guess I might as well level a Sub Rogue and join the melee dominance, because the age of casters aren't here.

Can we like...STOP nerfing Rogue in every category I don't use..like....now?

 

Glad that I'll have to switch to assa now. GG

 

EDIT: Yes, that's a pretty uneducated comment, just for the lulz.

Also: The nerf to deadshot is actually pretty bad. every class has a top Azerite trait, even better ones when it comes to the addition of raw DPS, so..why nerf Deadshot when it's already nerfed where it ACTUALLY was pretty OP, in PvP?

Yeah, I'm leveling a DH right now because I can't stand casters anymore because of their balance.

What Demo need is:
• Shorter cast time.
• Better target switching.
• Remove shard cost of Nether Portal
• Buff and fix Demonic Tyrant, sometimes you cast him and your actives imps despawn (they shouldn't) and he takes to long to start fighting. 
• Buff Implosion.
• Dreadstalkers should be instant. 2 shards for them is ok, Demonic Calling could reduce the CD, reset it and make it cost 1 shard. If it happened, Dreadlash would be a viable talent and we would be way more useful on M+.
• Demonic Strenght should empower other demons, sometimes you need to interrupt and the only pet that can do that is Felhunter.

Just looking at logs, the difference between Demo and Affliction is 30%.

So 5% buff and 1% nerf brings that down to 24%. Almost balanced! /s

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
