that is basically every single patch in the last idk how many years
prot will be fine, just enjoy what we have now and roll with the punches
or block them
I would rather
the punch
I like to turn my back to them and tank them and still take less dmg than a Dh
exactly
The whole point of the DH changes was to make their damage taken differences less severe between having and not having Spikes up
Thatโs why DS got โnerfedโ along with the buff
At least it doesnt look like theyre messing with prot mitigation. That part of us seems pretty strong right now.
well, first and foremost, we are tanks
Yeah. I mean our defensive toolkit and rotation feels pretty good to me right now. Im glad theyre not changing that.
I'm just loving it
tbh
MDI, all of it
warriors need muh utility to be good over dk
many regulars in this discord said that
Their utility is they do a million dps
the funny thing is i said back in season one/uldir that unstoppable force needed a 50% nerf

This hasn't aged well
DH was garbage then too
people just thought poorly of prot then.
even late was feeling it
oh lawdy
Is ruinous Bolt any good for m+?
oh was more
about the comment about why last mdi
we were saying prot warrior isn't gonna get a showing
lol
@sick sentinel aff feels awful in dungeons and is bad. Legit a single target bot
correct
@daring marlin didnโt you also say BoM was gonna be bad?
People got no clue what the meta will be
Just got to let it happen
nice.
50% thunderclap nerf ๐ฆ
150 -> 135
nerf UnstFor by 50%
next tier BoM scales to give us so much more AP that we just are right back at it again while every other tank just sits on their thumbs
๐คท
that's not how it works @brave mauve
a 385 and a 415 bom don't have that much of a difference
Of course not, but BoM is still such a stupid good dps trait that other tanks will struggle to make theirs catch up
We're still gonna do bonkers damage
I am expecting more nerfs tbh
I want to make a joke that I don't trust damage opinions from someone named 9mm, but I also carry a 9mm unironically
You don't have to take my word for it. Marok also did the math.
I'm just joking bruh
I don't take jokes as well as I take penis.
same tbh
lol
That's life.
Everyone go pllay prot really poorly on ptr so it looks like a massive nerf and then they feel bad and dont do more
That's my plan.
good idea
"oh no, i am doing only 20k trash pulls"
noooooooo
Tonight in the 15 a well played rogue and Dk were still out bursting me
Yeah, rogue's are still strong rn
It's not our fault we make inferior players feel bad D:
We can also send a daily message on Twitter expressing our discontent with PTR sandbagging and draw more attention to DK 1 mil damage.
where do you get vanguard set from
as in this set? https://www.wowhead.com/item=14854/vanguard-breastplate It's world drop BoE
monkaS?
so i need 30 legion dungeons to get my blue hidden prot skin, should i just start whacking away through them on frenzy or something, prot would work too but i need speed...hmm, both my toons are like 100% mv speed
have the news spread out yet? - TC talent 50% nerf
quick reroll
WHAT WILL WE DO
Might as well stop playing the game
fuck this shit
(JK that's all sarcasm ya hear)
bring back tos arms
arms could have some good utility if they put their heads on right
@weary nacelle
@sick sentinel thanks!
Spell reflect before thrown or before landing on grong?
So I missed legion but apparently there's a flail transmog? Can I still get that? Sorry off topic
@dusty flume right before being picked up
And it ignores the damage?
The grab damage yes
Sweet
Cast spell reflect when he is still doing the third part of the combo
Yep yep
But how big of a nerf is the 50% ๐ค we will stil be top dmg tanks ?
They need to creative an ability that lets us spam shield slam at 100% crit
so bring back ABT tier
Lmao yea that was my joke
that was the joke
Probably fort brew @spice ferry
The more claps the better
Just get 200% haste lo?
Only TC binded
With 200% haste and exactly 0 lag you can thunderclap 26.666 (repeating ofc) times in a single avatar
Never forgetting this shitty
Azerite piece
The way it can pull literally the world
Is ridic
๐๐๐
Thats nothing
Expected and yet pretty decent
Wont there be any hota essence to reduce avatar cd? I read somewhere that there is said thing for prot palas coming in 8.2... and it might be available for all tanks
Defendibg warrior yday when i was a bit tipsy
Then numbers came out
Asked him this morning If warriors warriors Will be useless.
Type of guy to play fotm each tier
Hes very proud of beeing 2k Rio....
Lamo
I said we all can be 2k Rio with any comp, since at that lvn its player ability that matters
Can confirm, I literally boost my entire guild in m+
With like triple shaman comps
Triple casters n shit
We had to kick out of a kick rotation a big dick m+ player of our raid bc he kept missing every kicks on Grong
That nerf wont change anything
๐
Yup it won't
Except now stacking 3 dc wont be worth
Especially with the new rings added in 8.2
Druids are coming in hard also
For a second I got confused and thought you said master yi
6% dps nerf is good)
Ye it's not too much of a kick in the gut, respectable needed nerf but wont have a negative impact
Imagine a world where you have several tanks in MDI and each their own strat for the run
Ye I just finished gearing vdh, 412 now
Working on pally atm
i really interested to test pally monk and dk but firstly i must lvlup them
and that tough
Don't play bdk and monk if you like being gcd capped
i have prot, veng and guard now
Ye, 0 dps aswell
Nope
๐ฆ
got problems cuz of ms
๐ค
Just run ahead
but i'm too slow just running
You should know the path
i know
You can be ahead of the rogue
Without worries
Or speed pot before
If you're really worried
Or the rogue just did it too early and it's not your fault
And didn't wait for you to catch up
Heroic leap
Pretty sure any action breaks shroud..including jumping off with Heroic LEap
Will it reset the mobs you took aggro with when you jumped tho?
yes
but you have to have certain spot to do the leap in temple
and its annoyingly difficult
Speedpot tho
you guys think that protty will still be viable to higher keys despite the clap nurf coz of his survi? or the peeps will freak out like "omfg nerfed useless now gtfo"?
is Stamina higher prio then haste?
If you're talking about dropping ilvl on rings for better secondaries you can
Not too much tho
got a 380 vs a 395 ring, the 380 got 280 haste and the 395 got like 122haste
is there some mastery cap?
Go for 395 anyway
okey
@drowsy hound we will still be viable. They only touched our DPS so our survivability is still in-tact. Don't go freaking out about it just yet. : )
how many haste do u have now
i got 1.6k atm
man %
well hard to tell cuz of talent gives 15% on 5 nearby
btw, does anyone know which talent cd will be decreased for brewmasters?
๐ lol just delete brew from the game
indeed, 8.2 gotta be a boring one for monks it seems
i did main brewmaster in legion and start of BFA
I was considering switching to another tank but meh
but with lack of survival i change to warrior
lol pally on 4th place on rio
of course, my issue is not viability is just sheer boredom with the monk xD
But yeah monk's AM is pretty boring
seems like 8.2 will be the best m+ season
if they will not buff druids and dh too many
warriors still will be doing a lot of dps
@ionic fern thanks for answer, im just curious, liking warr too much to reroll coz of fotm
@echo granite they might add more nerfs
over time
50% nerf on UF might be just start
Exactly
Good thing Iโve maintained all 6 tanks 410-416. Iโd like to see some more to veng; itโs pretty boring to play
Madman
Huge
omagad so many time spend
War monk 47 neck. Other 4 are like I think midway into 44
I really been thinking of multiboxing them to AP swoop much faster
I work
Do a min of Mythic champs, +10s and islands on all. AP swoop as much as I can before I get sick
Main prog on warrior. Though changed it up this week for monk 5/9
Just need a better guild. All this time spent not seeing fruits of labor
F
That's
Whole wall of F. Hate myself that Iโm addicted to doing it. But playing them all makes the game still fun
A lot of work
anyone know of a weakaura to display spell reflection
Not really. The AP swoop is
i found the same one that keeps popping up, but it does not work, at all, it says it shows up to 3 bars etc but it flat is broken
@bright pagoda I use a package and it has it in
what package? ill rip it out, the code that is
Tuesday morning till this week. I did 5x Mythic champs. My server bleeding hollow US horde people would wait for my groups cause we always 1 shot. But I work graveyard so every morning I get home I AP swoop. Raid wed thurs. Sat I do my +10s, swoop and log. Sunday AP swoop and islands. Most Mondayโs I just donโt play
i want one to track uhh
basically if someone is casting on me, so i when i know to reflect
That's in the pins fam
if its the one that shows 3 red bars, it did not work for me
aye same one
thanks ill do that
made sure everything was right, placed it even right above my toon. tested it with pcs, then npcs. never got a bar, let alone anything else. so i dunno what was going on, but it looks PERFECT to use if i can work it
fotmers
@sick sentinel it helps. To have the regulars show and bring 2-3 of their alts. Now that itโs crossrealm I still bring the regs but I fill groups in 5 mins. So itโs much faster
It makes everything easier
@sick sentinel if im reading this right, i have to cast spell reflection BEFORE any spell is cast? is that what it means on the description? " Color Reflected Spell: Upon casting Spell Reflection, the first incoming spell's bar will turn green as that's the one you will reflect."
just double checking
Yeah
hmm ok
That's how the ability works
i know ive casted it a few times premature with no bar, but im going to re-create it anyway
well yeah, but usually i cast it when a spell is halfway or nearly landing
not before a spell is cast
is this a real question
You need to have reflect before cast ends
Even if the buff expires while the spell is flying, you still reflect
since no display has been working while ive been running timewalks, soon as i see a cast i just hit it, and see the reflect. but ide love to see the bars
It's only made for bfa dungeons
Putting timewalking in there would serve very little purpose and would have made the weak aura a lot heavier
Deafening Crash Tracker giving other people Lua Errors?
Cheers
What is "heal sniping"?
Never heard of that term
It's when one healer quickly does a big heal or big cd when another one is doing it too. Often refered to when a mistweaver does revival cause he sees the druid do tranquility. Revival hits much faster and will have healed up almost all the damage so the tranq does next to nothing.
It's some fun banter between healers for their parses.
ah
Like prot war dps sniping /dab
Also refers to healers using quick inefficient heals to heal when there's no damage going out. Flash Heal over heal etc
kaege how can you raid and not know about heal sniping
it's how healers keep themselves entertained
healers that overheal instead of dpsing should be banned from wow
RIP
ffs
@dull tinsel 
not really rip no
Fucking stop
kappa
Lol
๐
dk cant handle the damage
Dk just falls over
Guardian on top
Make yourself a favour and check also the new "tank" thingy for the neck
spoiler, for warriors is Avatar
We can make exactly 0 assumptions rn
Gismo is better both defensively and offensively
idk, maybe he found something we didnt
I am curious about how the CD reduction thing is going to get balanced as paladin CD is both offensive and defensive where as avatar is many offensive so it will be a nightmare to balance well
Ye that is what I mean
And some others will be better on other tanks
Also alot of tweeking will happen before it is on live servers
And tbf avatar is a pretty defensive cd
The BrM one is basically even more mitigation... Good for defense, but doesn't do anything meaningful on a spec that already doesn't die...
With BoM
guardians get SI man so yeah be happy
not sure like a huge defense cd is even really a usefull proc or is it an on demand thing
olike if you cant plan a pull around it whats the point
That's why this is going to be great for warriors as a major
never a bad time to be in avatar
I think the attack speed minor one will be pretty good as it does not have an internal CD yet but will probably be fixed
guess brms could roll into anothe pack if it procs
The minor is the heal when you activate your thing
In m+ you can, in raids if it procs while not actively tanking, it'll suck
thing is cd arent balanced so a cd proc aint balanced
But, overall, I like the look of those neck essences
Aye
Ptr is very soon
Ye I like it I do hope they add some class ones at some point but for now I think it is pretty good
Just wait for that
hey have a nice weekend everyone ๐
U2 @jagged bay โค
yall did the math what is the total dps loss for the tclap change
thank you!:)

ty
not so bad so at like 15k you lose 1.5k so your still at 13.5k
so be around prot pally level
Well
If you were 15k overall in a dungeon
You're baaaaad
St tank damage will be a lot more competitive
not like sb got a nerf
Exactly
I that to make warriors way more enjoyable they should bring back variable IP rage cost
Our surv is completely unaffected
You did 30k overall before..now you're gonna do like 27k..not that big of a deal.
You will still survive, you will still do decent uncapped DPS and the playstyle still remains reasonably fast and enjoyable.
Exactly
Yes I am really enjoying prot ATM
We will do way less overall damage but that is not a nurf but because there will be no reaping to smash after new patch
A way bigger nerf than 10%
doubht it
Maybe at base TC damage but with 3 stacks of might I don't think so
!pins
I really feel they not gonna stop at one talent nerf
@visual cedar just click on them
@sick sentinel im on my phone
this shit calm down yet?
thank god that was insane
What'd i miss? @sand egret

A shitshow
Prob people freaking out caus eof that nerf
We're not viable right?
When the announcement of the nerf hit
The freakout that somehow people were surprised UF got clipped
Lol they are monkeys
like people ACTUALLY thought it would remain
@sand egret baffles me too. Every average IQ person knew dmg nerf was comming
No. Make it leave.
Lol
"what we gonna hit?"
"the thing that multiplies a given damage number by effectively four times the value to cause a problem for any potential scaling they want to do in/around that ability?"
"naw fam"
is there a Zandalari Embrace of the Loa that seems to be better for Prot atm?
Paku
eh, Pa'ku is prob your bet
kk thanks
disclaimer that they're pretty negligible
gotcha
yeah
it's like a 10% overall hit in AoE situations all things considered
Yeah, i was hoping for a change in revenge
Lol
but a Rampage without the Rampage is silly
look at this visceral animation....that hits slightly harder than your filler in AoE
womp
i'm a firm believer that the long wind up is a huge reason why revenge feels like shit way more so than the damage numbers would show
not gonna lie even after all my times using it, part of my brain asks "am I lagging" when I go back on my warrior and use it
@sick sentinel yeah i understand that it's good for that
But there are still times where I find myself considering other globals
Mostly in ST though
im only talking about how the ability feels stinky, despite being animated to not. Rampage hits like a truck so its unique animation works really well. Revenge is just...meh.
Aoe is just spamming anyways
.....
I just ran my coffee without the mug under because I was talking to you guys about revenge
did you fuck up automatic coffee
Fuck
LOL
LOL
Literally pushed the button
NO YOGURT IN SIGHT
Nice
It's everywhere
Have fun
Im leaving that pic there too
See how fucked up revenge is?
Messing shit up in real life
That picture is relevant to #protection now
Fuckkkkkkkk there's so much coffee
it's a metaphor
the coffee is the nerfs
and Yam is every warrior who didn't see the UF hit coming
and that picture, was this channel last night
Guys with the nerfs, do we think prot will be viable in 8.2? Or do you think we will need to stack leech to compensate?
LOL
๐
Bye
lata
Trolololol
@primal crypt loose is a known memer fam
that was a well constructed troll
References Nerfs, drops the V word and wraps it up with a Leech itemization question. Only missing the "drop ilvl for Leech" part and of course, "haste cap", my new personal fav
8/10
Lol
Oh I know loose
I'm not familiar with the haste cap meme?
8/10 is pretty good tbh
It was such a strong statement to my coffee problems
read the Lepan guide
I had to step away
Hahaha
Wait we have haste cap now,should I drop ilvl to get away from haste?
You want less haste
Don't wanna overlap that shit
Least amount of haste possible
more time to think about the abilities = less mistakes
get leech instead
I heard haste makes us take damage faster, can you please confirm, Lepan guide said so
You need 100% haste now to be viable
I meme because I currently suck at actually playing the game
Trust me
I spend too much time reading about it at work etc
tbf, it wasn't his statement that was wrong....it was the implication of said statement in absence of proper context ๐
And not enough chance to actually play
Who vouched for his guide at wowhead lol
I wasn't even aware of it, don't know how I missed it
it implied you itemize haste around block cdr
while completely not mentioning the value haste provides via AM
active mitigation?
LUL
isn't that block cdr?
Ahahahahahahaha
i hate you
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Sorry I couldn't help it
What I wanna know
Is when we get battle cry+SS spam back
That would make me less sad about not being viablr
That said with TW, I am levelling my mage now to re roll
Warrior tank or no tank
Thanjs
Thanks*
I imagine there is going to be some kind of melee/ranged rebalancing
I will stick with maining woyer tho
i just can't not tank
everything else seems boring in WoW
luckily, there's a lot of tanks ๐
Just think that ranged should be able to massively outdps melee if they can turret, meaning that they are balanced when they can't (which these days is...all the time)
they tried that Loose
But we were missing a tank in uldir
issue comes down to how harder boss design becomes
And here I am now
Mmm fair
then they went the other way
and everyone got instants
and that sucked
cuz it was like....do I want a ranged melee or a melee melee
but It's a neat problem
interested to see how they try to address it this time
I guess...the whole 'fantasy' aspect to me-ie a guy who needs to spend ages to unleash a massive blast of arcane energy
i feel ya
Should be able to fucking roast shit when they are able to do it
cast time > pay-off for sure
We're at a point where melee are not taken lol
there was a GDC talk years ago about something similar to th is
yeah you generally want as little melees as possible
i believe it was called "why range matters"
talked about it from many angles, really neat stuff
I'm glad fury was decent
allowed me to tank the current raid tank spot LUL
ninja slide in and take current main tank spot
opop
tell them the tank discord said 3 tanks strats for every bosses
hmm, so I'm going to spam some TW. Prot Pally or BDK? I got both at 110, but I would need to actually find a shield for my pally and actually learn wtf im doing....
^^
but I can't stand pallies lol
but tbh I hate the paladin rotation flow
but it IS the only tank I haven't played
why wouldnt u wanna go braindead and play monk ๐ค
me press ISB me take 3 consecutive smashes on grong
i mean, that's raid tanking so that's not a me thing
idk I hate m+ personnally ^^
but it's a nice trade-off in playstyle.
410 wrists with crit versa and avoidance or 400 wrists with haste versa and socket?
410
So I managed to get the diamond last night without having to coin for it, finally.
I actually like the bdk playstyle.. .he's 409 atm while my pally is lvl 112 lol
doesnt it feel slow to you?
Well it's reactive
even so
maybe its the haste
or the gcd changes
i felt like i was just sitting there waiting for runes
it's slow if you don't have a lot of haste
Honestly I think the BDK playstyle is the most boring
worse than Brew
get ur BS stacks up
but yea, it's a reactive tanking style than a proactive style
hit HS until you have rp
deathstrike when you take damage
gg
none of their cds aside from AMS feel good to use
but the worst thing BDK has going for them is the garbage azerite traits. all the blood specific traits are garbage, might as well be wearing non azerite gear
yeah
and that's what's really caused their "nerf"
like Brew azerite traits are fucking amazing
a totally night and day different from when I'd just tank with WW traits on vs. when I rock my ToNx3
I understand blizz doesn't want blood to be so OP but, to make traits that garbage and then leave them with no changes is just horrible
but i still play mine, along with my prot warrior and pally. i like the playstyles, with each being different
i pretty much only bring my BDK for fights where I need a mass grip
the rot is just so boring
warrior is so much fun and the flow of not having 100% uptime on AM and weaving in LS is tons of fun
yes prot warrior and pally both are more fun to play, but i still keep my dk up to par with the others just because, but i still like playin all of them.
kind of tempted to level another character but not sure if i should or not
I like the theme of the bdk. Also played a magicka nightblade tank in eso..was similar is some ways
so the warrior nerf doesnt seem too bad
correct
Hello. Is stacking avoidance and leech the new meta in 8.2?
Are there note available for the changes?
is that a meme?
Is it
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/rise-of-azshara-ptr-initial-class-changes/149899 @olive merlin
@digital frigate everyone knows Indestructible is the superior tertiary
my shield is indestructible 
Would be fun to see BoM gets 50% nerf'd ๐ in next set of changes.
All changes aside, I'm in the thought of levelling a tank. Would you say prot is a good spec for a newbie at tanking?
Im lvling prot and can pull all mobs hit avatar and soak xp
If you've never tanked before, it'll be a learning experience.
deswind died in a +2 on stream
I have tanked some before, so not a complete newbie. But still not that experienced in tanking. Just gonna have it as an alt to have something else to do,
mainly learn your defensives properly and you will be fine
If you're the type that will realize things you're doing wrong and immediately work to fix them, you should be fine. If you're the type that gets squashed 800 times and blames the healer each time, it probably isn't the spec for you.
Well he's leveling the character. He isn't going to have Bolster for a long time so that's not really relevant yet :p
ahhhh
I accept that I can make mistakes and try to improve on them. But I have a friend that says that prot warrior is a no go with the upcoming nerf
making mistakes is fine and accept, as long as you learn from them
Your friend has no clue lol
acceptable*
Just want a spec that is fun and engaging. Something to spend some time on when I'm not raiding or farming azerite on my main ๐
no offense to your friend but i would ask in this discord before asking anyone in your guild or randomly person you're playing with
while everyone in here is a jerk you will get more detailed answers and better help
Ofc, this is the warrioir discord after all ๐
We're not jerks ๐
That is why I'm asking here and not going all in on what guildies and friends are saying
Jeez, this is the first time I'm hearing someone say we're jerks in here ๐ค
If we're jerks, better not go to....well, pretty much any other class discord lol
what up kaege fill me in
Ay nim you can call us the v word again
what did i miss
ah
50% on UF
yeah that's fine
shit i thought it would be worse
Yeah
that's not bad at all
Could be a lot worse lol
so far...
The whole concept was a bit busted tbf
won't make a lot of difference
Double the damage and half the cd
Like who wouldn't have thought it would do a lot
Guys what race are u playing as prot warrior:D? i kno the difference in classes makes no difference unless you are going for #1 but im a gnome and i really hate it xD
if you're alliance
NE, Dwarf or DiD are the best
if youre Horde, it don't matter really but BE has more utility
Dwarf/DID is safer, since Blizz said Smeld is on the radar D:
if you're horde go 1 of the new races more dps i forgot what its called
war is all about the deeps
no
i can see the benefit of Shadowmeld but for that to be useful dont all the grp need to have some kind stealth?
okay mr know it please show me your logs
You can do death skips with smeld without dying, so
usually, yeah you'd want your entire group to be nelf for full effectiveness
Undead ftw, top deeps, rezan can eat a dick and you get to be a sick flippygal
but smeld still drops necro
Simulation data for everyone. Overview of DPS relevant simulation data for World of Warcraft.
@tired cove
LMFAO
DID just does it better with the buff and no drop combat
i'm done with you child enjoy the block
uhhh
Yikes
i have no idea what just hapenned lmao
wat
Yeah
@winter aspen yes
that was the quickest block ever
Because dropping combat drops necro
Instantly ?
Yep
yes
Yer
someone tell this dude that @ionic fern did the APL and that bloodmallet runs it on Simcraft
???
But arent that dangerous since u will lose all threat instant also wont u?:p
yes, you'd still have to work around that with stuns and what not
The only time I went Dorf over ne on tourny realm was for greivous waycrest
that's why i stated DiD is better
dunno man
i got the quickest block today
i wasn't even trying
guy said zandalari was highest dps
i said undead
he said link me logs
i linked bloodmallet
lmao
Maybe he race changed from undead today and can't handle the truth?
I play ๐ก
UD is actually the highest on horde side i'm pretty sure, atleast ST.
LF is the highest
HORDE side.
^ this tbh
lmao
Inferior for m+
imagine horde having a bigger presence in m+ despite alliance getting better racials ๐ค
heh
Because of raiding
also alliance tends not to pug after a certain key lvl
which is actually really low in comparison
its ok when the meld nerfs come in gg alliance
well they at least have dwarves
honestly its a good thing they have the better racials, might help balance the factions a bit
Eh, if it hasn't happened by now, I doubt it will. Faction changing for MDI is one thing, faction changing on live realms is another
Death run meld and meld pulls are fine
well it did work for the pvp scene a couple of expansions ago when human's was the best
every man i miss it
That wasn't people swapping for it though; people always were human if they were serious about PvP
they're going to nerf it for reaping is what's likely going to happen
Because EMFH was broken
Orc is about the same
nah some horde streamers and multiple glads did change
but that might be just a small part of the scene going back
iirc leaderboards were all alliance
at least in arena
Well, you had PvP gear back then as well so it was a lot easier to just swap over and gear up an opposite faction alt rq. Can't really do that as well now. And it's PvE that you'd be swapping for which has other concerns like your raid team (if applicable ofc)
a lot has happened since then though
yeah i get that
honestly a racial won't be the deciding factor for a faction change nowadays
but a combination of little things might
Just drop the fucking factions already. I wanna play ally tauren
Nah, especially not with the faction balance where it is, as far as content being done.
Unless you have a set group and everyone is faction changing, it'd be pointless
Because then you wouldn't be able to find groups past +15 XD
i'm 100% with you morthrang
that's fine
they would actually make mor emoeny dropping factions
we need better balance though
because the RP'ers would be doing all kinds of weird shit
We do
Horde clears new raid in 2 weeks for HoF
You can keep the factions in the lore while the players are free to do whatever
Tauren and gnome together at last ๐
Ally takes 3 months
we were talking about that a few weeks ago
Like how dumb is that Blizzard ?
At this point they've done way more lore bending in other areas
like factions are kinda stupid nowadays and are just there for story purposes
you can adjust everything else to have no factions
Yeah
pvp, etc
I completely agree
see jettom remembers
My Horde characters would all sooner rally behind Velen than the entirety of the Horde, Baine and Saurfang included
๐
Imagine having a huge pool of players and no one sided realms
I like Saurfang
(since legion)
Imagine being able to play dark iron dorf
I think it'd be neat if they did like a Sylvanas ruins the horde with her lack of honor (burning Teldrassil, using plague and killing her own troops, etc.), Baine and Saurfang decide to throw their lot in with Anduin, the rest of the Horde follows, no more faction difference.
I mean they already got that shit in play lol
Just finish it up
yeah
Childe that's how other mmo's have done it perfect example is eq
they can just do small faction scuffles for the story
dark elves HATED everyone, but you could still group with any race you wanted to
๐คท
Lol never gonna happen but hey they say its good to be a dreamer
Dude there are Tauren paladins and the war chief is an undead
Yeah I played the PS2 version Majesco. Couldn't go to evil race's cities but you could still XP with them ๐
My guess is next xpack because they lack original content anyway
Everything is possible at this point
Nah
Its either that or reskinned lich king
Ghash i remember when i was playing a human paladin and i was doing the 1.0 quest for the epic, and i became KOS in my own fucking city like wtf bro lol but thats what made EQ fun
Ion was just going on about how important Horde vs Alliance is to wow, yall must have missed that
like you could become hated and beloved by any faction/race
if ion said it...
And you can play classic very soon
he probably just said "important" then left it at that
lol, yeah. I never played the PC version but there are a lot of similarities from what I remember hearing.
I didn't base what I said on anything real. Just what I think would be cool to see. That's why I said "I think it'd be neat if..."
there's my champ druid
I wanna know how the PS2 version somehow had better graphics than the current PC version does
Lol Sacred Destiny
Considering they shut the servers down to EQOA like 5 years ago
Cute name
well eq on pc came out in 1999 and sony never upgrade the engine at all
they just came out with new char models and that was it really
i think they changed a few spell looks
I guess if it's not broken, don't fix it huh
pretty much
i mean they are still doing the same thing 25 years later
holy fuck eq is almost as old as i am i'm 32 and eq is 25
Ikr lol. Been around a while
yeah fuck looking at these screenshots i have too many
That's a truly creative character name. I've never seen anyone with that name before.
are you serious
No.
hmmm
lol
With that name you're supposed to be a Shadowknight smh
and warriors only tanked
i think he has the Avatar of War blades but not sure
they did threat on hit
In EQOA, you had two action bars that were swappable columns in the top right corner with iirc 5 abilities per column. And tanking was just standing there with 5 taunts on one of your bars and maybe stomp and your path quest buffs (which were HP/AC). Basically cycled path buffs and spammed taunts the entire time. Didn't even have to be facing the mob ๐
I wasn't around but pretty sure alchemists and wizards were tanking raid bosses at the end; it was silly
I know. That's the one thing I miss about EQOA. Alchemist was such a fun, unique class. I wish WoW had it.
but yeah tanking was like that
just press taunt
but having those blades, that were relevant for a lot of expansions after
made it easier
its funny how we say CoF being relevant a few content tiers after but i remember those blades being good for expansions after lmao
they were that good
think thunderfury
i think there was a 2hander that did the same thing afterwards though
off one of the zeks in plane of time
iirc
Yeah, EQOA only had one expansion so it never got to that point really. And you had no way of monitoring performance like dps meters or anything either. Raid bosses were basically okay let's try to kill this, and if we can't, zerg
