They still have some good information in there, though, and a lot of it matches up strongly with my personal experience in game. Shaman being carried hard by resto spec, many people have been vocal about its strength in the last 3 months. Same reason why Lock is down so far. Lots of bad stuff about warlock viability before launch. I would much rather see an armory census like MMO-C has done in the past but sadly thats no use with the updates being borked. | ||

Same reason why Lock is down so far. Lots of bad stuff about warlock viability before launch. Not just viability but design. Most locks on forums and that i've talked to ingame are not happy about anything right now. Hunters not pleased either but they are a bit more playable and numerically strong. There is a big balance patch coming but it's still not all that fun to play a spec that performs much worse than other specs - word from blizzard is also that they're planning on keeping the amazing specs as the best specs rather than overnerfing them as well, so there is a lot of reason to switch onto the FOTM spec at launch. I hope that we get both raid and dungeon capabilities taken into account for the balance patch because some specs like WW monk, havoc DH, fire mage, BM hunter absolutely destroy some entire classes for overall damage on dungeons. They could be toned down, but some classes are clearly lacking. Balance druid for example went from a great AOE DPS a few months ago to being completely uncompetitive | ||

Are they doing okeyish damage compared to the rest? Tanked HoV hc yesterday, but was so busy with learning the spec on the fly that I forgot to check meter. How are you guys approaching a pull, or double pull? Get blackout combo -> Ironbrew up fast, clear when above 40% stagger? Use blackout combo always on Keg smash for reduced CD on brews? If anyone has a 5-8 first buttons pressed list on packs would be neat to check if I got it right. Cause it's the Blackout Combo that makes me unsure. Should I never use Keg smash or Breath of fire unless I have this buff up? BrM is on the same spot as disc pretty much. Spec changed a lot of and got harder > baddies can't play harder spec> cry the spec is bad. If you like it just continue learning it, brm is viable for everything you are going to do. Simply put the effort to learn th spec and you're set in 99% scenarios in this game. http://brewingmastery.blogspot.fi/2016/08/legion-brewmaster-faq.html | ||

warlocks are just really whiny, they went full warrior on the forums They had good reason to. The game would be a lot worse if everyone sat back, took whatever awful version came out of the doors and paid full money for it every time without question | ||

Also really interesting to see that Mages are almost 100% fire spec. Hunter is 2nd from bottom and Shaman is way up? Definitely can't be representative of the general WoW population. Hunters have been the most popular class for pretty much every expansion, while Shamans have sucked and been pariahs for most expansions. Which is strange because I'm keeping up in dps with people way more geared than myself when I just hit 814 with my Hunter. They're not doing bad at all, but I suppose they did change it a lot from what people enjoyed before. I still think it's fun. | ||

A lot of the straight out undertuned specs are not very popular. With blizz comitting to keep the good specs on top for the sake of people not having to switch artifacts i expect worse performing specs to be even less popular than before | ||

As for hunter, maybe people got bored. Marksman is so stupidly simple there is literally no way you can do wrong and you barely have to push any buttons with the long cooldowns on the good spells. | ||

Interesting to note how while Warlocks have kept their status, Druids have ended up the most populous. They've come a long way from being only widely accepted as Resto back in vanilla to being the only quad-spec class in the game capable of performing all 4 roles. | ||

It's also interesting to note that people are massively opting out of the melee specs in favor of ranged for Hunter, Shaman but not for Druid Melee shaman is the most played shaman spec while noone plays ele according to that data, maybe you misread? | ||
