Buffed Tier Sets & Copium VDH Nerf | FIRST Balance Tuning Of Season 4!

no doubt considering my spoiling Tendencies by tomorrow there will be a blue post from blizzard announcing balance tuning changes for tier sets and all of these tier sets will be buffed well you can't say you can't truly say you haven't been warned a couple of days ago because what is happening right on this reset on this third week of season 4 is balance tuning the first of the Season hitting a few specs with some interesting changes so we are starting straight up from what supposedly should be the biggest of the changes but unfortunately I'm afraid it's going to be a big nothing Burger are the Nerfs to Vengeance Demon Hunter so for a long time we have pointed out that the dominance that Vengeance Demon Hunter started in season 3 was due to their use their double use of sigil mostly thanks to this Talent over here illuminated sigils which gave them unparalleled control over packs of mobs it's the only tank that can do this sort of thing getting gigantically large poles and then rotate multiple sets of crowd controls double rounds of 5sec long silences double rounds of chains to also serve as an interrupt for mobs double rounds of fear to also once more interrupt mobs don't forget the AOE stun is still part of their toolkit and that allows you to keep 20 plus mobs locked down for long enough for your turbo AOE specs to to do enough damage so blizzard comes in and at the very least as a positive to start do acknowledge that the main problem of vengeance is the sigil and in particular the silence sigil however the nerves are just not nearly enough 1 second shorter silence duration from 5 to 4 seconds 30 seconds longer cool down from 60 to 90 seconds and then also less cool down reduction from cycling your sigils from 3 to 2 seconds every time one of your sigil triggers the soul cleave damage is completely irrelevant Soul cleave is barely 5% of your overall damage as a Vengeance Demon Hunter this is still very likely not really going to change anything when it comes to tanks the ability for you to cycle your double rounds of sigils whenever you have your big cool Downs of your DPS to be able to have these massive Pools inity Plus is remaining rather unchanged you might have to skip on the third sigil now on a big pool as a vengers Demon Hunter but you are still far ahead of what every other tank can do you know this is your runof-the-mill Mythic plus key where you are you know timing big coold Downs around very large thrash pools and you can see that if we were to use the post Nerf version of the Sigil of Silence so instead of having two sigils coming back in 2 minutes because they have a 1 minute coold down to their charge now they have a 90c coold Down so it comes back every 3 minutes you can see that you can still cycle double silence sigils in pretty much every single large DPS pull so whether the sigil had a one minute cool down or a 90-second cool down you can still pull off these pools exactly as you were before don't forget also that the other sigils were basically untouched yes the minor Nerf of the cool down reduction now they have a 7 to 9 second longer cool down compared to before but it is still nothing at the end of the day the most important thing isn't how weaker you get but rather is any other tank becoming stronger than you once you get nerfed and the answer for vengeance Demon Hunter is no so all these Nerfs are irrelevant to the power of Vengeance talking about something slightly more relevant it's balance Droid one of the focuses of our video about the terrible tier sets in this season which were practically a DPS loss for balance Droid this is being addressed in these changes now the two-piece set bonus is back to having their original damage the two-piece set bonus is me your generators account for very little of your damage so this buff is rather irrelevant going back to the original 50% stuck in damage the tier set had when it was released what really matters is the four piece the bonus damage on the first spender when you enter eclipse going up to 60% more damage and also the discount going up to 30 astral power instead of 15 it's not quite like the original because the original was free rather than 30 but it's almost now back to that level and this one is a much more relevant buff for balance through you can see here the pre-buff Sim versus the post buff Sim of Balan Druid it's about a 6ish to 7% damage buff to balance Druid and this is in single Target it's similar slightly higher even in AOE for for balance this is a significant buff because as a Balan fluid you do enter Eclipse very often and this is going to account for every time you do enter eclipse and you get this discount of Astral power for your spender so you do get to have quite a lot of discounts over the the course of a boss fight or even more over the course of a Mythic plus you know big large pool of thrash mobs that is why it is a relevant damage increase and also it solves now the annoyance of having to keep your older tier now pretty much at all item levels your new season 4 tier set will be an upgrade over your older tier set for balance rid after balance you have the head scratching change of the patch which is damage neres to brew master so this comes at an upside which is the upside of getting more magical damage tankiness due to the Stagger now being more effective against magical attacks this comes however at the cost of having a bunch of your damage nerfed in particular K Smash and even more in particular sumon white tiger statue spinning qu kick is whatever it's just a meme Doesn't Really Matter What mattered more is KAG smash for your overall damage and more importantly your summon white tiger statue for your burst damage brew master doing burst can easily get to 400,000 DPS as a tank also thanks to as far as burst is concerned your white tiger statue and yes if we want to be picky technically brew master had the strongest highest damage in Mythic plus even if Vengeance was you know tying with brew master don't forget that pretty much all of the top tanks right now are playing Vengeance so if you were to take some of the hundreds of very good Vengeance tanks that also can play brew master and put them on brew master they would spike up the average damage of brew master by a lot so even in this unplayed state breaster was doing top damage so yes the dam was too high however it's kind of weird to see them nerfed in damage given that right now they are not a very popular spec on to this time a much more straightforward buff this one is to assassination flat out all attack damage and abilities are buffed by 6% in damage this is uh weird and also sad because this is the essentially the revert of the nerves that assassination received in the first weeks of season 3 in the first weeks of season 3 some something weird was going down and it wasn't even assassination fault it was mostly just the hooks of augmentation being faulty and giving way more damage to assassination rugs together with costic spital the new addition to assassination being wonky in terms of in terms of damage being registered giving assassination just an overall quite high damage and after the Nerfs of course assassination started going further and further down throughout season 3 even in Mythic plus they are so poor and underplayed right now they are struggling to clear 12 keys because most players are playing Outlaw right now inic Plus in the raid they have been one of the the weakest overall performers so if we are to give assassination this 6% damage increase this is where they would be ending up right now with 6% more damage which is also a testament right to the balance of the game right now where a 6% damage buff can bring you in the top half from being at the absolute bottom when it comes to assassination not much hope of course for them becoming more relevant in Mythic plus just because of a 6% damage buff after assassination you have the duality of Buffs between Affliction and destruction of course there is confusion around the Buffs given to destruction given that we just had a video about destruction being the best spec in Mythic plus and they get a single Target buff 3% damage to chaos BT and then 5% to conflagrate and incinerate this is even weirder when you consider destructions single Target damage isn't even that weak at the very least compared to demo and affliction or actually sorry I should say all three of them are weak it's not that destruction is any weaker they have they have a bit more of a of a downside in having to move they are a bit more of a turret DPS spec than the other two uh warlock specs it is still quite weird though to see damage increases for Destruction for single Target especially when you are ignoring the other two warlock specs if you were to acknowledge Destro was in need of Buffs then what about the other two from demo to Affliction at least Affliction is getting Buffs Doom Blossom viain Soul flame and soul rot are all receiving Buffs which has nothing to do with the single Target we just mentioned it is mostly for AOE damage but even then even then with the AE damage in mind and the single Target damage in mind it's not that big of a deal right these are the increases of Affliction for single Target and for AOE we're talking about a 1 and a half% single Target damage increase you know 3% at best AE damage increase for affliction so we are talking about some very slight increases for the spec the last of the DPS specs being buffed is Fury which was the other spec we were mention mentioning in the broken tier sets video about Fury tier sets actually being a DPS loss now this gets adjusted now the Rampage damage and crit from the two pieces up to 15% instead of 12 and also the damage increase of blood thirst of the four piece goes up together with flat out 3% more ability damage this is again making the new tier set of Fury B at the very least a net a very slight net positive over the old one which is still a bad thing because if you're gaining 30 plus item levels as you are replacing your tier set you would be expecting some you know 8 10% damage increase just out of the item level alone which is not still what Fury is getting so even after these Buffs the tier is still quite weak at least now it's not a DPS loss to go up by 10 item levels overall on your gear if you are switching to the to this season's tier set there is still the problem of Fury of course that even after this buff you have to look at your competitor which in this case is the other spec in your class which is arms and the problem is that at the moment arms is still at a comfortable 6 to 7% more damage than Fury so even after this set of Buffs arms is the better spec overall for warrior so cool that now you can use your four piece of this new season not that cool that the Buffs were still quite quite small overall for for Fury the last of the Buffs surprisingly go to a tank and that's protection Warrior blard lets out a note pointing out the weaknesses of protection Warrior they are attempting to fix mentioning they are taking away some of the power from a single Talent buttering RAM and spreading the power increase to basically your default tools so you're gaining 5% more ability damage 30% more Devastator damage 6% more he heing from ignore pain lower CDR to your version your shitty version of your Sigil of Silence now it's a 75 second cool down except a Vengeance Demon Hunter has a 90c cool down version of this that can be reduced down to an 80c cool down and you have two charges of it so this disrupting shout is still far worse than what a Vengeance Demon Hunter has and then more importantly more Baseline tankiness you now get more stamina and armor as well as more haste by default as a protection Warrior as we mentioned at the start talking about vengeance the Nerfs to vengance were not nearly enough to make them any weaker compared to the other tanks same goes for protection Warrior is not that these Buffs are going to Skyrocket Pro Warrior into being a top tier tank so basically no you don't have to flavor of the month roll to protection Warrior but at the very least everyone who was already playing protection Warrior now they get to have a smoother time enjoying the spec so it is still a positive now of course once this balance tuning round goes live some players will be left with questions after all the video we made about broken tear sets yes had Fury which was buffed yes had balance which was buffed but it also had survival which was left out from this we also had something we didn't mention blood dek which also has a broken tier set which is not being utilized right now by DK players yet these seem to have gone by the the set of nerves for this balance tuning we also had some questions about perhaps some Nerfs to Shadow priest if we are talking about high level keys with long large pools regarding their AOE damage together with Destro or even Nerfs to Red Paladin when it comes to the more average level keys and more shortlived pools when it comes to burst AOE for the spec however unfortunately this is as far as we go in terms of balance tuning hoping of course that this won't be the last of the tuning for the entire season these were the main focuses blizzard had for the first round of tuning after a couple of weeks in the season so for today at the beginning of the third reset I guess in na of this season 4 we are now leaving each other on this Tuesday we are starting the goodbyes by thanking all of the pet supporters for the contribution and help to the grow to the channel which can as usual still be given completely for free can like and
