Shadowlands 9.1 and 9.1.5: Balance Tuning Questions.
Following the Buffs&Nerfs of 9.1 we are now entering into another round of Balancing for 9.1.5, so the questions are: Which Specs could be buffed in 9.1.5? Which ones could be nerfed?
We’ll look at Blizzard’s decisions in Balance for 9.1 and see if they paid off and had the desired effect, or if they backfired and/or were completely pointless, meaning they might want to revisit the Spec in this upcoming Patch.
After all, if they thought Holy Paladin was too strong in 9.0 and nerfed it in 9.1, since it’s STILL too strong now, does it mean they will want to nerf the Spec again?

What you said about people not playing not bc of damage but playstyle… Nah, you buff it and you get more people m why are boomkins going venthyr? They dislike the soulshape or convoke? Of course not, bc it does more damage so they go that route
You don't see survivals bc it's just a worse warrior for melee and only does well in AoE but you might as well play MM and do better for 5 target aoe, why enhancement when Elemental does just fine ST and AoE is a beast ? Playstyle wise, survival and Enhancement are much more entertaining than Elemental or MM/BM, but their damage is just not worth.
Feral is a worse rogue so who cares about feral
I find funny that you play Shaman and then calmly say that Enhancement doesnt need buffs. Are you even aware of how Enhancement does damage? Do you even know a build for it? Have you ever used it in M+?
Today I'm more and more conviced that as a commentator of the game you might be the most uninformed of them all. Not really worth wasting time watching your videos when you dont even know what you are talking about.
Guys really look at the chart Feral is the one that need the buffs
As an aff lock i'm afraid they gonna nerf the NF legendary and then we will have nothing left cause the rest of the spec is dog ** right now. That legendary is the only thing making the spec viable in niche situations (mythic+ keys 16+ and probably KT/Fate/SR and in mythic cause in heroic adds die too fast). As for now i'm enjoying having 100% haste once every minute and not taking eternity to cast my seeds.
Biased opinion. Not only in regards to Havoc hate.
aoe changes are a indirect buff to many melee mongos in m+, we are already seeing some ridiculous damage coming from certain melee specs in m+ and they are getting a huge buff with the aoe changes, melee already have the advantages of short interrupt and often upfront burst with aoe ccs, now that is something that will need nerfing
blizzard nerfed shadow's DP going into mythic week for literally no reason, so who knows what they will do. that change was the most unnecessary thing they've done in a long time.
Feral druids need a MASSIVE buff. Lowest-performing spec in the game.
Not necessarily, the reason Enhancement and Feral don't get played is because Elemental and Balance do get played. They bring the same utility, it's just one is better than the other in both forms of PvE content. Feral in dungeons is good but not as good as Balance. Enhance is somewhat okay in dungeons but nowhere near as good as Elemental.
give mw spear hand strike please.
i main a lock and we get nerfs all the time due to overtuning or some shit. but why other classes get the pass and took so long for a nerf while we get nerf immediately? wtf i dont understand
Elemental needs a buff in 9.1.5 hear me out: since eq was uncapped and now will do less damage on more than 5 targets it needs a buff and a bit of single target would be great.
5 years later and people still salty about havoc
… Lol world of saltcraft
I don't get the hate on Havoc. DH only has to specs, tank or dps. And the DPS needs to be viable. Leaving them at the low end of the middle is forcing people who play demon hunters to play as tanks. Now when vengence is nerfed what should a DH play? A new class all together?
Tanks are balanced?! Bears need nerfed! They ignore all affixes and have an invulnerability button
dont see nerfs to balance coming, its near bottom for 50th percentile and 70th percentile while only being top on 99th percentile because of power infusion. maybe they reduce damage of venthyr cds and buff baseline to decrease the dmg difference between good and bad boomies
Don't know if I missed this or not, but you may not forget that the gain resulting from PI given to a DPS is not attributed to the overall dps for the priests
Playing disc is not fun 🙁
This guy thinks havoc dh is op..check out ww monks bro
Your commentary is an island of insight, calm, and humor in a sea of bloated hyperbolic click bait and toxicity. Thank you!
When someone nerfed something and its still the most popular class… it means people just want to play that spec. Nerfing Boomkin and fire mage will just aggervate the player base and blizzard should look to buff the other class to make them more fun instead.
I think at least with Havoc now, the extra damage is coming from talents that significantly increase the complexity of the spec.
I disagree with you Izen. Enhance shaman needs some work to be put in. Watch the podcast MARCELIAN did with the best enhancement shaman players Werdup, Cayna and one more guy (sadly cannot remember the name).
Your logic is flawed Izen. ''Don't buff Enh, Ret, Feral because they are performing well, even if they have poor representation, but nerf Balance druid because they have high representation, regardless of performance'' makes no sense. Buffs and nerfs need to address performance, not representation. Representation issues stem from specs ''flavor/theme/design'' and should be addressed by changing core mechanics/remakes of the spec.
Resto shaman needs a dmg nerf, it’s insane how much healing they do along with doing hpal dmg
prot pally needs work take to much dmg
They need to tune lego bow for hunters its dog shit so depressing to use a 252 rather than my hc lego bow.
I called my parents to ask if I could sub. They said “John, your 37… We don’t give a shit what you do”.
I guess u are just bias. . u literally hate hpal and fire mage so much that u just lie and show false numbers to fit your narative. . resto shams are literally doing more overall damage then hpal in m+. . ashen is still better for high keys but resto damage is just fine, and so is disc priest dam
Ret needs a buff big time
Destro?
They are not gonna nerf havoc, trust me haha
