So, Patch 5.1 has been out for a week, and the complaints are flying faster than my health pool when I pvp. Blizzard received some harsh questioning from a variety of posters about supposed "ninja nerfs" from many of the classes. The argument that Blizzard purposefully hides these changes in order to avoid upsetting a large number of players seems a little tunnel-visioned, but there is no doubt that players choose, not only their play style, but also their class, based on perceived balance issues, and, as in any venue, when facts that affect major issues surface, especially if it appears that there was an attempt to hide them, people become upset.
Fortunately, Daxxarri, a community manager, clarified what happened...
