Beakertanks Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 I had a similar reaction, in fact after seeing how OP the Comps were I pretty much quit playing for a couple of weeks Thankfully this nerf brings them back to a reasonable power. It seems very close to a Pre-4.0 well geared Comp level. Taking one of my lv60 chars as an example, My char has approx 50k health, and my companion in dps mode has approx 45k health. This is pretty close to how things were before 4.0 hit IMO. (My Comps are all at 10k Influence, i.e. they were maxxed on affection before 4.0) So, I'm MUCH happier now Me too. Thanks for saying something. Too much misplaced hate here lately. Well... there is always misplaced hate here, but about making the comps fun again? Weird.

Thunderstriken Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Seriously, I was gonna stop playing because the comps were so OP. The game was BORING. It required zero skill. So glad they nerfed the comps. It's a real game again. If you are challenged by anything in this game where you are allowed to bring a companion then you are basically telling us how proud you are of yourself that you can take your water wings off in the shallow end.

mikebevo Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Really I don't understand either side of this debate. Companion are still powerful. Only difference I noticed with a companion healer was instead of dropping to 98% HP, I dropped to 75%. Heroic SF or regular heroics were not any slower. Only difference I noticed was when I answered the door and came back my character was dead. Before the update I would have came back with the enemy dead.

jojobanutz Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Me too. Thanks for saying something. Too much misplaced hate here lately. Well... there is always misplaced hate here, but about making the comps fun again? Weird. Yes, I find it very strange TBH. ALL games, not just this one, need to provide a modicum of challenge, otherwise what's the point of playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wemblys Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I will say this about that When it was powerful companions, turning off skills or passive was at least an option people had to go with for more challenge While now, if people want strong companions, there's no option whatsoever for them One way had something for everyone, the other way had it only for only player type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amailya Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ask Blizz how its working out for WoW not listening to the playerbase.. And you want a challenge, don't summon your companion. Problem solved. A lot of us were enjoying the story w/o having to worry about the tediousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? When a big part of 4.0 was buffing companions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that Blizz generally makes more money off of Hearthstone and HoTS now than WoW, right? World of Warcraft is no longer the golden goose or "flagship title" for Activision-Blizzard.

When a big part of 4.0 was buffing companions? From what I've seen, as you build Influence, Companions do indeed get big buffs. So yes, I'm very happy that they are similar to (well geared) pre-4.0. Considering I haven't built any influence at all yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
positronics Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Are all you guys liking the patch tanks? Because I challenge you to play high level heroics on a non-maxed gear DPS and get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vast majority of them are tanks.On the plus side, since non tanks are having so much trouble. it increases the demand for their services.

aisaelo Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) I'm on a dead server, my favorite char is marauder, not even the best spec, you try getting a willing healer in that situation. Edited November 19, 2015 by aisaelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the actually lost 5 million subs since their last expansion came out? If so, that is stunning. I did read that they aren't going to be announcing sub numbers anymore.
