In short, no change to Windfury Totem is planned at this time.

But in all seriousness I'm glad developers are listening.

It shows that Blizzard listens when given hard evidence/massive whining of an unbalanced nerf.

LodeRunner · 07/18/06, 1:57 PM

This makes me very happy indeed.

I had been panicking as of late and even contemplating... well... picking up an offhand and dual wielding. Don't tell anyone :ssh:

Yay, now we're back to horde raids still doing less damage than alliance raids, but now the difference will be smaller than if the nerf gone through! Yay!

For all we know they arrived at it via thier own means. Unless they say one way or the other we'll never know. I may be wrong but I do assume that, despite what I feel is a total lack of feedback (communication) on their part, they are experienced enough developers that they know better than to jsut throw this shit out there and never look at it again assuming that it's going to work in practice just like they envisioned it would in thier heads.

I still don't understand why they were considering the change in the first place.

It does make me wonder if they lowball us so that when stuff is changed (or even nothing changes), we are happy regardless...

I'm such a conspiracy theorist.

The change was being considered probably due to Hamstring + Windfury. But they didn't realize the magnitude of the DPS change it would have especially for Warriors, and to a lesser extent Rogues.

I don't understand the problem behind this when alliance fury warriors were doing tons of DPS as well.
