Don't come back to our forums, angry person.
Q u o t e:
It doesn't mean that innervate isn't OP GC. Especially in 5's, where a continuous stream of druid (or priest/pally) healing makes mana burning just about worthless. The druid on my 5's (heres where you utilize the armory) can innervate himself for 17k mana and heal non stop. I love it but it's not balanced.
No, you're absolutely right. As I said recently, part of the challenge of Arena balance is trying to predict the trends instead of always responding to last month's problem. I was merely commenting that it is interesting that there seems to be so much druid and DK hate right now, when say rogues, priests and possibly Arms warriors seem to be faring better.
Now you get differrent results when you look at only the top 100 players compared to all the highest rated players. Just be careful not to equate either number to "The list of which class is most powerful." They are both useful data sets, but interpret them carefully.

You're bad, GC.
I said all but the highest rated players. You are looking at 100 players when you look at those lists. It is unlikely you are playing any of those players very often. When you look at a larger sample size, you get different results. When you look at a smaller sample size, you get different results. If SK reported the top 1000 players or top 10 players, you'd form different conclusions. Looking at 100 players is totally valid, but don't let the sample size drive your conclusions too much.
Q u o t e:
IMPROVED BARKSKIN is the problem (ie. since people can't dispell innervate, they're QQ"ing endlessly about it). Innervate isn't the problem on it's own.
We're not sure the best way to balance abilities like this is making them countered by dispels. That just puts more pressure to have a dispeller on your team and there is a lot of reason to want one already.
Q u o t e:
Actually, as a developer who cares for your game, instead of saying "Okay most people are doing PvE, last balance around PvE primarily", a good developer would say "Lets try to make more people care about PvP".
It's fine with us that some players care more about PvE than PvP or vice versa. It only gets to be a problem when players post "Nobody cares about PvP so why balance for it?" or even better "I hate PvP so you shouldn't spend any effort on it."
Q u o t e:
As long as people get answers here, why go somewhere else?
There are similar discussions in the healing forum. Let's not overly obsess about which is the perfect forum, okay? Even tanking druids can Innervate. Presumably damage-dealers might feel druids are too hard to kill because they can heal themselves and their team forever.
