The whole point of the game is to rotate who's effective in an endlessly shifting meta. The trappings of the genre prevent player skill from being the major factor in how well that player performs, and if they actually balanced the game and left it that way then every class would feel the same, endgame strategy would never change, and players would get bored and leave.

Blizzard couldn't balance the game even if there was only 1 class and 1 spec. They're some of the shittiest developers ever and the funniest part is that they will argue with their players to the fucking DEATH that they are right and the community "just doesn't get it".

Christ FFXIV is a beautiful game. So many little things graphically and engine wise that WoW never had that just makes me sit back and appreciate it.
I still feel WoW had more meaty gameplay, movement/casting/combat wise, but FFXIV is cozy as fuck. I've never going to have my BC/WotLK experience again with WoW, but playing FFXIV gives me those "New world to explore and engage with" vibes.

That was the only appeal of playing hybrids before for the niche support roles that were half baked into the game. Too bad they were all useless. Making the DPS roles viable doesn't invalidate pure classes anyway. Even post homogenization all of the classes in wow have their own distinct style and flavor of play, so crying about hybrid classes is nonsense.

Damage scaling is skyrocketing especially hard this expansion because Blizzard is enforcing this 4 tiers of raiding, so the Mythic level gear is exponentially stronger than the gear from the previous tier. Then when you take War/Titanforging into account ilvls increase even beyond the listed levels.

This literally just changed with 4.06. Before that, the lowest dps had shit utility.
>>
>>386954820
Meanwhile DPS classes can switch between specs for different utility and abilities that may be useful for encounters. The flexibility of playing hybrid classes is lost on most players since they don't necessarily have the skills to play all roles to begin with. Your argument assumes that the person playing the hybrid had the ability or interest to play the other roles to begin with and is also geared enough to fulfill the other roles, which isn't necessarily always feasible in progression raiding.

Parsing software should take 3% of all other players' damage while FR is active and all additional damage from 2% of crits and add it to the Bard's DPS because all of that damage was only done because the Bard was there.

OP's image is 3 targets in a "Max" encounter rather than a "Real" encounter. So no movement, no interrupts, no mechanics. Essentially who can hit the training dummies the hardest in an AoE.
Changing specs is fucking hell anyway. Need to grind up your artifact back to where it was with your main spec and then completely change your stat priority. Not to mention getting 2 legendaries for your new spec.

>>386955889
>wow clearly isnt the rpg for you if numbers terrify you brainlets
Big numbers don't terrify anyone, it's that human brains suck ass at realizing the scale of bigger numbers so once you start getting values in the millions and beyond it starts to leave a weird impression of "these numbers kind of seem meaningless" that some people really don't like. It's more gratifying to some to increase a damage number from 9 to 10 than 900k to 1 million, even though the end result is the same.

Class A: 100 dps

Normal way to balance:
a) If you want the powerlevel to be Class A
- Buff abilities of B a bit and C a lot
b) If you want B to be the standard
- Tone down A a bit, buff C a lot

Blizzard way to balance:
- Nerf A with random numbers
- Buff B +40%
- Buff C 15% and introduce 2 random new effects that you have no data in raids for

Okay so lets say it takes you 2 weeks to get your tank spec up to speed with your dps. Thats enough for two LFR and normal runs and some nether disruptor farming for legos. Then say theres a Marksmanship hunter that has only played MM all throughout legion. Why should the hunter be rewarded with more potential dps for doing 1/2 the work you did as a warrior to gear up 2 specs?
There is no reason to balance for the potential work someone might put into their character when most people will only ever play one spec. You put in all that work getting your prot spec ready to help, but maybe your guild never needs you to tank. What do you gain? Why should someone who only likes the WW monk playstyle be punished because other people like healing or tanking as monk. It just doesn't make sense.

t. assmad pure that gets outmatched in DPS by hybrids and can easily find pugs by going tank/healer
pure/hybrid hasn't been a controversial topic since TBC at the very latest

>>386956579
don't look at the shitty chart OP posted which is actually wrong

fury is in a pretty good spot right now, close to arms which is the best melee spec and last tier fury was pretty broken thanks to a trinket

They have exceptional mobility. Protip: Most fights don't have you standing in one place firing off your ideal rotation the entire time.

Rogues are crazy viable right now for Mythic raiding.

At the very end of episode 4 a bit of difficult content started to be added. Not too hard to clear if you had a head on your shoulders and wasn't a party of 4 techers or something.

Then hero gets released for episode 5. A class with practically 0 gearing commitment because it has no new weapons and it's also branded easy while arguably being the best in game. On top of that the rest of the classes get gutted to the point that if you're not playing hero, fighter or gunner you're leeching.

Hero is not hard to play at all either, so everything feels like normal difficulty. Episode 5 also has no new content worth doing. All in all its a shitshow

What the fuck is that list? Use this instead.

Unless you're doing Mythic Tomb of Sargeras, you shouldn't give a fuck about picking a class for their max potential. Doing mechanics is way more important.

I main a Shadow Priest. I was doing the worst single target DPS in my raid, but I read up, saw what others were doing, and managed to reach #1 dps in muh raid. Turns out I literally wasn't pressing buttons fast enough.

I dunno. Classes are in a pretty good balance spot right now. Each spec has its own specialties. Havoc Demon Hunters have absolutely ludicrous burst DPS.

I was excited to do 500k in EN back when I played.
WoW never ceases to amaze me with how crazy their power creep is.

>>386958981
well even 10 item levels of difference is a huge boost in stats.
most people are around 900-915 in general.
dedicated raiders are around 930-940.
just in stat gains thats over 70% difference.
>>
>>386958981
2.7 million DPS is an EXTREME outlier, and literally only achievable on sustained multi-target fights.

500k with EN was a great amount, with Shadow Priests able to cheese for 1 million DPS on Xavius.

Right now, 900k to 1 million DPS is a very good, and quite achievable amount of DPS to reach in ToS, with Mythic Gear. 800k DPS for Heroic mode, I guess.

But just remember the best strategy to reaching the top of your raid's DPS charts! Watching everyone else die, and survive to reach the top.

Sure just lump in the shitters too.

I remember Balance Druid being garbage back when I played, I'm almost glad it's number 2 now. Too bad I don't give a fuck anymore.

>>386959631
That OP list is borked and wrong. Balance Druids are not number one.

They're #1

I ave played wow since pre panda when they kill my way I play shaman, being able to be elemental and take over healing tank, than tanking to get more mana and go back to healing tank, followed by replacing tank as he eventually dies from the large pull.

I spend virtually 50% of my life playing WoW and I only have to say that all of you are fucking idiots who don't know shit about anything. If I were you I would shut the fuck up instead of spouting random shit.

Fuck off that graph is shit. Demonologists are garbage until last level with best gear and ARE STILL BEATEN IN DPS? BY THE SAME FUCKING CLASS TWICE. Remind me how WARLOCKS CANT MOVE WHEN CASTING SPELLS BUT WARRIORS CAN.

FUCK OFG BLIZZARD

>2,7 MILLION dps
what were they thinking?
>>
What a joke this game is now. DPS in the millions, kek. I remember when, like, 8k dps was good, during WOTLK I think?

Is there no fucking better way to fix this shit than just a "reset" every few expansions? Goddamn.

fights still take about the same amount of time they did in BWL

Fuck off. There should never have been ANY legendary quest bullshit added except for very hard, long class-specific ones or rare-as-fuck-on-the-level-of-Invincible drops from end bosses in raids.
>>
>>386961363
Clearly the point went right over your head.
>>
>>386961417
It was a comfy raid and patch... but I think WotLK was better because it was comfier and the story was better.
>>
>>386961310
You have to take the following into account. When the players level up, they expect to deal higher damage. Not just against the mobs high are now lower level than them, but the next ones too. This means you can't keep the damage ceiling constant across all levels. So what happens? Damage and HP both increase, that is the WoW design.
>>
>>386961787

and clearly you don't understand that if you multiply everything by 100, there's no effective change

Yes there is, it's the illusion. That's what it's all about. This is literally western game design at the core. More flashy shit, higher damage, but the same combat time and mechanics.

cant believe how many people on here actually believe this chart

I was excited to do 1337 damage for the first time. WoW has changed.
>>
>>386962715
It's not supposed to. It's literally the best they could think of. These are all arbitrary numbers, damage, armor, attack speed, health, resistance etc. Western game design has always revolves around bloating them for damage sponge games. We will never ever have a game where enemies get smarter AI instead of more HP.

Really makes you think

Can anyone tell at which level friend invite x3 bonus exp ends? All sources are from WoD times and tell it's 90, goddamn official faq doesnt tell a thing now. Is it still 90?

>Fury warrior that low

Makes me glad i dropped.

>Frost is still top mage spec
Glad I quit, I hate getting shoehorned into this boring fucking spec because it's the best at damage, CC, and survivability.

God forbid the other two interesting specs are good at anything

Do the classes at the bottom have any other sort of utility?
