It was a funny joke, but seriously. Druids...

When are they really getting nerfed? In pvp it is be a druid or go home. Disc priests barely pull their boat to them. Paladins have had to go prot in order to maintain mana vs disc and compete vs the long lasting fights of druids, and shaman are just an absolute joke of the healing in pvp. I mean in all honesty shaman are terrible.

When it comes to the point where you go Druid or go home it seems pretty absurd that something is not addressed. When a priest can mana burn down a shaman in a go, or mana burn a druid and they innervate back to full without a blink of an eye it seems kind of disheartening.

CC is another story all of its own. Why do druids have by far the single strongest CC for pvp, and now are getting a buff to caster for when they pop out to do it? What mad man does this? O sorry I am not a marine biologist so I don't know.

I am tired of people pulling up old facts or a team that hasn't done a single arena since a nerf hit. It is useless and pointless. You all know that druid/dk and druid/warrior are currently the top 2 teams, and it is because of the survivability, cc, and overpowering ability to heal and retain nonsensical amounts of mana.

I am sure glad that the people at blizzard who play their druids are so bad that they feel they have to keep buffing the class to do anything when they constantly faceroll to victories in arena.

Q u o t e:
Actually pal/dk is tied with druid/dk atm for #1 slot for 2v2

Quick fun fact.

Resto druids have a 14% rep for the 2v2 bracket
Priests have a 12% rep

Priests have a 15% rep for 3v3
Druids are the next highest with 7%

Priests have a 12% rep for 5v5
Druids are last with 5%

So....nerf druids?

While I didn't verify Daaysqt's numbers, the conclusion that paladins and priests are just as well represented as druids in 2s is consistent with our data.

Now, I always try to add that part of the challenge of Arena balance is to notice upcoming trends instead of always responding to last month's problems. It is also entirely possible to be overpowered (or just frustrating to play against) and not dominant.
