Well, rogues are getting alot of buffs which is cool. Druids are going to be overpowered next patch until blizzard sees what makes their damage moderate ( not falling back or doing excessive damage, well they will do excessive damage next patch though). Warriors are getting alot of nerfs, i kinda like that :), Palas are getting some buffs and some nerfs. Other than that i didn't read anything else.

Into one comment, I will attempt to sum up everyone's generalised feelings about the Firelands patch and it's content.

ahem *clears throat*

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

If you don't like the changes to your class, reroll, play an alt or alternatively, stop playing! Games change based on demands from not only the public (and most of you as players...) but from the way the game's classes balance out. Blizzard don't "hate" you, stop being so negative. They're simply doing their jobs. I know you can come back at me with the whole Holy Paladin thing...but seriously lighten up, it's a game, you'll probably get buffed in the next patch. Hell even try challenging yourself if your DPS is getting nerfed. Learn more about your class, drive to push more DPS and prove your guild wrong!

That's what I say at least. ^^

@Electrolyte:
{If you don't like the changes to your class, reroll, play an alt or alternatively, stop playing! }
who are you to say that what do you think forums is used for ? let ppl QQQ and say what they think and what they want :)
-------
this is my 5th lvl 85 character last one i guess
and in these chars it's very clear that the game isn't balanced or based on demands how many one want bliz to nerf mage control vs melee in pvp way too much cd or the OP dmg from arcane they know it but did they fix it ? no way maybe in 6k years
paladin lay on hands and divine protection lol is balanced my **!##%@ XD and everyone want them to remove it or atlest make the debuff 30 min so you make sure the paladin is dead before they use another { OP } CD in pvp
and yea the hammer of wrath anytime you have wings up lol {poor warrior need 20%hp}
and yea the druid omg i hate this class realy, cyclone bear form and running away with travel form >> cat { stealth
of course mages paladins and druids will disagree well i am expecting it anyway that what i think cause pvp <3
hmm about pve realy who cares anything can work this is world of warcraft i know very enjoyable but sometimes lame :P
well i am very sorry i post what i think on reply excuse me about that and have a nice wow staying guys

The warlock class as portrayed on your site:
"In the face of demonic power, most heroes see death. Warlocks see only opportunity. Dominance is their aim, and they have found a path to it in the dark arts. These voracious spellcasters summon demonic minions to fight beside them. At first, they command only the service of imps, but as a warlock’s knowledge grows, seductive succubi, loyal voidwalkers, and horrific felhunters join the dark sorcerer’s ranks to wreak havoc on anyone who stands in their master’s way."

So, we're supposed to be "dark sorcerers", "voracious spellcasters", the mere sight of a warlock should strike fear in our opponents' hearts.

Now back to reality... everybody just lol's at warlocks when they see one :P

PVE:
"oh, it's that caster class with useless CC" (compared with others, ofc)
The damage can be alright, but, unlike other classes, to actually do decent damage we spend 70% of the fight watching the timers on our curses, and only 30% actually paying attention to what's happening around us.
And healing? Why, most classes have some sort of healing now, while warlock self-healing, which was a defining characteristic of the class, is now at its worst ever.

PVP:
well, anybody who sees a warlock just thinks "I'll just roll over this one, he might not die easily but at least he can't do much to damage me".
Why do we have to be just an utility class? Doesn't seem to fit the job description...

Don't get me wrong, we get by and manage somehow, but it seems to me it shouldn't take insane skill cap just to keep up with 5-keybinds low equipped "faceroll" classes out there.

Don't buff us. Don't nerf us.
Rethink us, we've strayed far from what we're supposed to be!

Read through a number of pages and didn't see many comments from Warlocks...However, I gave up PvP on this char and is having much more fun on my Warrior and Rogue. No reason going back after reading the 4.2 notes either.

Death of the Keyring... does this mean Blacksmith's Skeleton Keys are being removed from the game and that ONLY Rogues can open lockboxes...?

In one respect, Rogues get bugged to death for lockbox opening... in another, Rogues will now 'switch off' & people with lockboxes will get infuriated trying to get them opened -- ahh, wait... will lockboxes no longer drop for non-Rogues, maybe...?

I'm wondering these "Blizz hates this and that", Why would they hate their own creations...?
I'd say they don't hate any class, just trying to balance PvE and PvP. You people think only PvP wise >.>
There's more than Arena and Battlegrounds.
Play few SUPER EASY scripted fights.

About time us frost DK's got a nerf to be honest!

Never played or had interest in Unholy, but with this latest buff, I might be tempted to try for 4.2 (and up until next changes) :)

OMG!!! pls nerf more freekill bozzes ÄPik Fail.
Its so boring, if you get your epics for free please stop that. It's not even funny anymore.
IMO WoW get's more and more boring if I can aquire my items to fast from Bosses, that aren't actually worth killing because I can "Faceroll" them in 1 minute. And anyway why should some1 do the old content if we just need to go to Heroic Instanzes to aquire better Gear. I was quite thrilled back in TBC to go to Karazhan when Black Temple was released and get gear which is required for the higher Tier instanzed at my own pace. But now your forced to see everything of the content before the new content is released and immediately get to see the new content and also aquire better gear better gear.
I don't think its worth it. With new Charakter as example you don't even need to go to the old content. Also, new Player don't have to go to lower Tier content to go into current Tier.

In my eyes all patches since release of icecrown are wasted time and money. How further WoW is progressing how more the game is getting unblanaced. The true fact in this all is: Elemental shammy where in TBC the moest powerfull class mixed with the pally. So Pally is still oen of the most powerfull classes but to compare a elemental shamman ? its just waste of time to play that roll. It's a faceroll class and its even getting worse.. They really have to take a look at every possebillities of a elemental shammy its really limited. No stuns no powerfull regen things like a mage or something like that. Not even a reasonable cc i mead we got bind element well kinda useless most of the time there are bunch of idiot breaking it all the time.. So on the Hex spell? i mean WTF? 30 sec cooldown included cd reduceing glyph ? polymorph van be spammed ? How does a shammy needs to resis itself against any kind of melee classes in wow ? pally? 5 sec stun. Warrior charge (depends on spec even a stun). Deathknight? not even going to start about that... So on with mages spell lock silence 6 sec ? i mean WTF? win shear 1,5 sec silence ? USELESS!! if you should delete the silence effect of it you wouldn't even see the difference...

Just to make this big story short Blizzard really needs to take a look at the class balance they're comming up with those last few patches... They make alot of changed though but the balance isn't even getting any better...

@Frozenchain: I'd love to agree with you but im so busy disagreeing on the fact u said elemental at TBC was most powerful :P (and palas) Clearly ur memory isnt too good, but yeh, stuffs unbalanced, but ALL the points you made were about how Elemental shamans are lacking, trying to hint that they should be the most OP. which would mean utter contridiction to the points your making xD Sorry to burst your bubble but i r bored XD!

@Aderia: haha well kinda truth in it. But i aint playing any other classes so i cant tell anything bout them :P and i also tell a little fact about mages :P haha Well at TBC it was all perfectly balanced every class had hes enemy. These days there a re a few classes that own the whole game.

@Furrion: Seriously dude, nerfed since 4.0.6? I'm frost myself and i'll have to admit we needed a nerf. We got buffed so hard in 4,1 it had to end. I agree that giving hungering cold a cast time was a little too much, but the damage descreased was needed to balance pvp a little bit. And unholy had no way of competing with frost in pve, now it's a viable speck in both pve and pvp. Classes change with patches, live with it.
