I have zero hope this game becomes balanced/good within the next year.

They nerfed the spec of DoK I constantly posted about pre-release on the private boards warning them about. I posted over and over about how imbalanced BW was and only saw buff after buff to placate the crying whiners. Also it seems the people who are team leads for these classes are working overtime to cry about how bad they are aka BW team lead who they listen to above all else is a complete fucktard who has no clue about balance except that he should demolish everything. In the end I see no future hope for this game. The idea is really good but the shit programming (some DoK skills are still broke), shitty nerfs/buff ideas, and general boring shit of doing 1 scenario every tier and the shit Tier 4 sieges I have to look forward to has made me cancel for the time being.

Maybe in a year when they get their heads out of their asses I might resub.

I guess posting log after log and damage screens and indepth explanations about why shit is overpowered/underpowered is disregarded compared to people who go "BW suck we die buff us plz we should 1 shot everything" (seriously there where people posting that shit).

Just for all the idiots who will question my judgement

CoK itself is a crit dependant heal debuff. Marauder already have a non crit dependent 100% of the time heal debuff that is 75% ability with a tactic. Not to mention that in fact CoK is "technically" easier to remove and has a simple c counter on a plentiful class. What I mean is that the WP gets a tactic that "cleanses" 1 curse everytime they heal someone, so if they group heal it removes 1 curse from everyone in their party, even their instants do this. This means it is actually easier to remove than a hex/etc.

Tactic called "cleansing Power"

So even at 100% there is a clear counter to curse afflicting DoK's

Of course with the clusterfuck of hexes/curses/cripples/dots system they have that makes no consistent sense this skill along with curse of khaine probably doesn't work at the moment. Considering that I believe CoK and CoC are considered buffs and right click removable (haven't tested but have heard).

Combine this with the fact they still have numerous skills on melee characters that are INT based for some godawful reason and that The highest tier ability in Torture doesn't even function, while the others DoT components are hilariously bad.

The only viable build on a DoK, by viable I mean useful compared to other classes, is the Dark Rites spamming build, which is okay.

did you not read that they took back the dmg inc to BW/Sorcs, and decreased their crits? Also in 1.06 they have fixed all the spell/skill animations and firing issues. On top of that they have fixed the morale firing issues.
Cliffs: They reduced the dmg of BW/Sorcs...


Goodluck :wave:

eh I just read that

the idea they where going to buff the immolate line for BW is scary enough

not to mention the main build I wanted to go on my DoK is pretty much shit due to the 1.0.6 changes and general bugged state of most skills. I even told them pre-release is an at least 5 different posts that they needed to look hard at CoK before release since it made a certain build of DoK viable.

Of course CoK was bugged even then and is still bugged so no real testing ever got done.

In general though I dont feel like respeccing to DR(healbotting) and don't want to reroll.

i got tired of waiting for this patch and canceled too.

if this is the level of attention mythic is going to give the game then there's really no point in investing any amount of time with it.

other than that, the players in this game are pretty annoying and it's nothing more than a zerg or be zerged game.

too bad really i had high hopes.

I agree with you to a degree about the zerging aspect, seems that normally the bigger group rolls the smaller group, in SCs for the most part. But when I've been playing with friends on vent, 3-4 of us can take 6-8 enemies, it just takes coordination.

Also, I'd rather have mythic do one big patch now, instead of small patches every week, but :shrug: might just be me.

The big patch should have been out when WotLK came out. They really dropped the ball on that one. People would have still left but maybe not as many.

I canceled as well. Not because of balance but because ORVR is fucking GAY.

Don't give me this "it gets better @ rank 40." If I want a game where everything gets better at max level, I'd play WoW.

WoW can lick my balls.
