Sounds good lol

vernal vale
#

Oh, that's right they where announcing a whole lot of. Nothing today.

#

Under the guise of being something

amber herald
#

scalies rise up

craggy pilot
#

well no dragon tank ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

ebon geyser
#

Na we have enough tanks

chilly brook
#

Honestly hyped about this

#

The talent revamp

jagged pier
#

it will be 1 path

ebon geyser
#

Get rid of DH. Shit class is taking up space

jagged pier
#

to claim them all

chilly brook
# jagged pier it will be 1 path

Not if they actually do what they said they were going to try to do which is disconnect the power and adding more utility based stuff

ebon geyser
#

Besides illidan was havoc

chilly brook
#

Plz bring old paladin back

jagged pier
#

utiliy is left

#

power is right

#

most likely left is prefernce

ebon geyser

What are our best trinkets for M+?

dawn canyon
#

aegis ows bedge

livid dagger
#

Over codex?

dawn canyon
#

aegis for sure not sure about ows

craggy pilot
#

aegis ows scale probably

#

codex is ok tank trinket, but it is better for DKs than for Warriors

jagged pier
#

no

#

its great for us

#

it just doesnt do damage

craggy pilot
#

since when did it become great?

#

people were saying it was shit 1month ago

jagged pier
#

always

#

its a 10% Damage reduction

craggy pilot
#

how often does it proc?

jagged pier
#

pretty often

vernal vale
#

It gets better the harder the content you do as well.

urban portal
#

its like 2/3rd effectiveness of a RDM

#

and does z dam

#

and gives stamina

#

that being said every other trinket just blows so much donkey balls

mighty cairn
#

fleshcraft shield scales with stamina tho

#

it's op

chilly brook
#

Was it me

#

or did I just see Convoke in that tree

jagged pier
#

yes its there in the screenshot

#

u have to choose between it and incarn tho

jagged pier

#

My condemn dream may still be a reality

My only dream is gladiator stance back.

New expac art

wild hemlock
#

dude new expac looks so good to me

mighty valley
#

yeah I like the look of the zones and the idea of learning to fly over time looks cool

#

i'm always skeptical about talent systems like this not just being a zero-choice annoyance but

#

there's some hope

jagged pier
#

they literally announced nothing much

#

but cant wait for an envoker to full charge a breath

#

and i move mobs out of range

wild hemlock
#

still though. we will see how well they actually "listened" though

#

first expac ive been this excited for in a hot minute

vernal vale
jagged pier
#

well they didnt mention new systems, is that because they havent got any or they waiting for make them sound better detective

wild hemlock
#

just looks like a solid "core game" improvement

vernal vale
#

We can already annoy dps

jagged pier
#

yer but its better when its a new class

robust rover
waxen orbit
mighty valley
#

it seemed like they were pretty overwhelmingly messaging that they're doing talent revamp etc instead of an expansion system

waxen orbit
#

I'm fine with that but they didn't explicitly dispel the idea of a new system so

vernal vale
#

Oh, that's right they where announcing a whole lot of. Nothing today. Under the guise of Something.

mighty valley
#

they said right off the bat "we've heard loud and clear that it feels bad to leave a bunch of stuff behind when a new expansion comes out"

civic torrent
#

I was gonna go back a rewatch that

#

How did they address that Harrow

#

I forgot what ion said

mighty valley
mighty valley
#

so the intent sounds v clear to me

civic torrent
#

Yeah looks like their moving their borrowed power systems into talents

#

And expanding that per xpac

vernal vale
strong forum
#

glad to finally have the talent rework ive been asking for

#

but idk if i like the execution yet

#

will have to see

mighty valley
#

i just... this is quite a lot for an expansion reveal? what kind of stuff would've made you happy?

chilly brook
#

it sounds good

#

but execution is the key

livid dagger
#

What is the best way for Prot to handle explosives?

strong forum
#

let the healer do it

chilly brook
strong forum
#

its a healer affix, not yours

chilly brook
#

Like we didn't see any dungeons or peeks at raids

strong forum
#

ever since they made explosives baseline 1shots, its become a healer job

#

nobody else unless he calls for help during hectic moments

chilly brook
#

usually there's more of a gameplay trailer

#

but honestly I'm not going to complain much

#

we're getting a lot of what we're asking for

strong forum
#

idk where youve been griff but an expansion reveal

#

NEVER showed gameplay stuff

chilly brook
strong forum
#

its always been the typical

#

"new zone, new level cap, new class/race"

#

never did it show actual gameplay

mighty valley
#

it's true that sometimes there's a tiny playable chunk at blizzcon so there's some stuff that comes out of that

strong forum
#

ya but its blizzcon

mighty valley
#

but we're further out than usual from release tbh

strong forum
#

a whole convention of multiple trailer releases and infos

mighty valley
#

and yeah it's not a blizzcon, so why would they rush something out for a video reveal

strong forum
#

this was just a few minutes reveal

#

like 1 panel

#

of the 30 you get on blizzcon

#

anybody who expected more from an "expansion reveal" missed the point

mighty valley
#

i don't even care at all to watch someone else play 2 mins of a zone or dungeon, tbh

chilly brook
#

in the quest zones

#

BFA was the swamp zone

#

Legion had DH stuff

strong forum
#

thats not expansion reveal

#

thats another panel

#

which we will extremely likely see in the upcoming days/weeks

chilly brook
#

Which is hand in hand at blizzcon

strong forum
#

yes

#

but this isnt blizzcon

#

its been a 1hr blog

chilly brook
#

At the end of the day

#

it's not a huge deal

#

I think they hit what they needed to and now it's just "this sounds great, but show us the execution and please listen when we tell you some things don't work"

strong forum
#

usually they also show a release date

#

with a reveal

#

:pepeball:

mighty valley
#

i think no release date basically just means "2023 but that's not exciting to say"

strong forum
#

well ofc

#

nobody expected a 2022 release

#

nobody who is in their right mind*

#

my prediction is Q3 2023

#

at the extreme best, Q2 2023

vernal vale
chilly brook
#

I mean

#

I think Wrath releasing in 2022

#

is more telling than anything

vernal vale
chilly brook
#

I think Q3 is likely

mighty valley
#

eh i'd put a little money on the first half of the year

#

but we'll see

vernal vale
strong forum
#

ya the announcement of S4 coming made me move my release date from q1 2023 to q3

chilly brook
strong forum
#

i wont

chilly brook
#

I convinced my irl friend to

#

He never played it

#

So I have an obligation

strong forum
#

bro those dragons all look like warrior orderhall mount

chilly brook
#

Also although I like the way S4 sounds

#

I don't know if it would hold my attention much tbh

vernal vale
#

I started laying warrior in wrath is my only reasoning to play classic wrath

#

Go back and see if I'm still good. Lol

chilly brook
vernal vale
#

I'm at work so no trailer for me until about 4pm pst another 6 hours from now.

strong forum
#

im curious to see our talent tree

#

see which interchangable spells we get for it

#

cuz the arrow slots are powerful spells to choose from

#

so probably banner vs X in 1 of the slots for us

chilly brook
#

๐Ÿ™‚

strong forum
#

really?

chilly brook
#

no

#

I wish

strong forum
#

:susge

vernal vale
#

My only hope

chilly brook
#

but banner would be cool

strong forum
#

im almost certain we get banner

#

banner and spear

chilly brook
#

only problem is banner is less cool without glory

#

much less cool actually

strong forum
#

maybe it gets built in glory

vernal vale
#

I will main glad stance until the day I die if we get it back.

strong forum
#

and remove the group buff portion

chrome falcon
#

banner without glory is extremely weak but building glory into it would make a lot of sense

chilly brook
#

Also banner off GCD would be nice

strong forum
#

ya it should be

#

same as demo

frosty ridge
#

getting glory banner from the start is way too optimistic

vernal vale
#

They almost have to add glory to it going forward.

chrome falcon
#

just

#

pray for baseline AM

#

fucking channel all your energy into it

vernal vale
#

Otherwise it's low help

ocean yoke
#

do it blizzard i dare you

chrome falcon
#

make AM the first talent

chilly brook
#

yoooooo

chrome falcon
#

in the warrior tree

#

for everyone

chilly brook
#

please

#

I like this

#

good idea

vernal vale
#

AM should be at this point.

#

It's just incredibly good

uncut notch
#

I GOT ONE

strong forum
#

AM shouldnt be interchangable

vernal vale
#

Builds a cycle on good play as well through rage management

strong forum
#

it should be giga early in the tree

#

for an easy snag

#

100% pickrate

#

in the warrior tree

#

not the protection tree

#

prot tree can have dragon scales again tho

chrome falcon
#

^ that's what i'm saying

#

like

#

the problem they have

#

is they keep adding AM and it has to be viable at a base level

#

but then we get all our new shit that gives us more rage through the expansion

#

that makes AM even BETTER

#

then it becomes mandatory

strong forum
#

give

chrome falcon
#

so like

strong forum
#

a god damn talent/passive

#

THAT DOES ANYTHING WITH BLOCK

chrome falcon
#

just make it baseline and make it easier for balancing purposes

strong forum
#

THAT ISNT HR OR BOLSTER

#

THANK YOU

#

block is our main fucking thing

#

our MAIN THING

#

but we have 0 interaction with it besides reprisal ultra bandaid after the fact addition

#

and HR

#

punish doesnt count, dogshit talent

sweet summit
#

buff mastery

rich beacon
#

Like even pallys can block spells but the guys skilled enough to reflect a spell arent allowed to also block parts of them?

strong forum
#

you throw a potion on your shield

#

which reflects the spell

#

runs around with 300 potions at all times

vernal vale
#

Fuck devestator needs to be baseline now

#

We haven't moved off of it since it was added

urban portal
#

yes pls

vernal vale
#

Legion or whatever.

strong forum
#

we did move off of it in bfa

#

in all of BFA we played BV instead of Deva

#

unless for parsing

rich beacon
strong forum
#

and in legion we only started playing Deva after its buff because it gave +5 rage per AA

#

and now we play Deva because its the most rage gain cuz it competes with literally worthless talents

ocean yoke
#

fuck it make block a baseline thing where we always block and % of dmg reduction based on mastery or something

strong forum
#

if punish gave +5 rage on SS

#

wed play punish

strong forum
chilly brook
#

And we'd barely press devastate

#

๐Ÿ™‚

strong forum
#

devastate does like 2.5x the dmg of devastator proc and has 30% chance instead of 20% chance

#

but yes

#

honestly i think wed just stop using TC in ST/less than 3 targets

#

and exclusively use TC in aoe

#

and i dont mind that at all

strong forum
#

ya the new talent tree

vernal vale
#

Hmm

chilly brook
#

yea just trying to see if I can glean anything useful from it

strong forum
#

its alot of 1 pointers

vernal vale
#

Please don't be filled with bloat

strong forum
#

na you can easily see

#

not alot of bloat

chilly brook
#

wait

strong forum
#

only very few bloats

chilly brook
#

you could actually get cyclone and kick

vernal vale
#

Gain 10 stamina to get to a better point. Is stupid annoying.

strong forum
#

you can get bash and typhoon

chilly brook
#

yoo

#

hol'up

#

does this mean we can get stormbolt and double time

#

๐Ÿ‘€

strong forum
#

extremely likely

vernal vale
#

Oh that would be fantastic

chilly brook
#

stormbolt double time and shockwave

strong forum
#

hol up

#

what if

#

titan grip

chilly brook
#

yooooo

#

boiiii

inland raft
#

Titan grip prot war and maybe ill reinstall

strong forum
#

i could see it

#

in the warrior tree

#

prot ish stuff in the middle

#

just enough for you to reach into fury

#

arms not being able to reach into it without sacrificing wayy to much

#

could make sense

vernal vale
#

Hmmn

inland raft
#

The return of fury prot

vernal vale
#

Fury used to stance dance in pvp to spell reflect/shield wall.

strong forum
#

so did arms

#

until they got rid of stances

vernal vale
#

So we could get some cool interactions if they brought stances back

inland raft
#

Kinda a reach but maybe stances come back as part of tree? Doubtful but hopium

vernal vale
#

I miss stance dancing.

strong forum
#

tbh

#

i miss it because of nostalgia

#

but in reality its just another macro

#

and like druid shapeshifting

inland raft
#

True

mighty valley
#

yeah three buttons instead of one to zerker rage wasn't really top tier gameplay

inland raft
#

Maybe a streamlined version where if press the skill it auto shifts stance etc

vernal vale
mighty valley
#

good warriors are very separate from average players right now, lol

chrome falcon
#

we're probably gonna get nelth's fury as like a mid tier talent

vernal vale
#

Its probably just nostalgia for me as someone who used to stance dance.

chrome falcon
#

based on literally nothing but a guess

ocean yoke
#

condemn pls as warrior talent

vernal vale
#

Not wanting it to be too strong.

#

Hmm the more I look at that tree I'm thinking we could get some cool interactions in the warrior tree.

#

Recklessness for prot and the like.

chrome falcon
#

reck is not going to be in the warrior tree

#

they said it's a clear split between utility and throughput

real fossil
#

Some wonky set ups for pvp and m+ Incoming

vernal vale
vernal vale
chilly brook
#

There is some cursed stuff that looks like it can happen

#

like balance

#

but they put points in feral stuff in the class tree

vernal vale
#

I'm sure there will be a million theory videos on YouTube by this evening.

strong forum
#

Reck will 100% be on the fury tree

#

Very early on

#

Same as rampage

#

Bladestorm/ravager however

#

That will be on warri tree

#

Same as dragon roar

#

Mortal strike will be the first talent on arms tree

vernal vale

I'm gonna sit in my corner and dream about glad stance.

Release date 2023

#

#

Q4

chilly brook
#

no release date

mighty valley
#

no release date yet

#

so... sometime 2023

vernal vale
#

Since they announced wrath classic for 2022

strong forum
#

I got convinced that it's actually gonna be q1/q2 2023

#

Cuz 9.2.5 ptr is already up in the works

#

So we gon have that in maybe 3/4 months

mighty valley
#

yeah i'm vaguely confident it's first half of the year

strong forum
#

Then have s4 for 5/6 months

#

Then pre-patch

vernal vale
#

They have done raids for a year+ before. So we could be stuck in SoFO for a while.

waxen orbit

Holding down buttons to charge them up

chilly brook

it seems cool enough

Though maybe that's why they are doing season 4

waxen orbit

Gonna be interesting to see different rotations with it

And just like that

i think it looks weird in the stills but looks good in motion

ebon geyser
#

I don't know bro

#

Looks so out of place

tropic linden
#

Deff gonna unsub after this season untill 10.0

ebon geyser
#

I was expecting something like wrathion where u turn into a dragon not a reskin worgen

tropic linden
#

New affix looks cool but not enticing enough to make me stick around

chilly brook
#

but the faces are too soft

#

too humanoid

#

like make them harder please

amber herald
#

harder?

chilly brook
#

I don't want attractive furryized race

chilly brook
amber herald
chilly brook
#

it's a hard thing to quantify

#

the best way I can put it is the faces look like they got the worgen remodel treatment

vernal vale

The dragon faces should be ridged/jagged. Look more lizardlike.

vernal vale
#

Which tier is ours

mighty valley
strong forum
#

Yup

#

100% this

vernal vale
#

Good.

#

I'm not alone in my thinking.

mighty valley
#

it makes sense that they've honed in on the common silhouette for each class

#

and this is a cool version of it

#

but wish we could get a bit more variety in silhouette

#

i guess we can always steal the non-tier variants for transmog

chilly brook
#

tbh

#

warrior set looks bad

#

compared to everything else

chilly brook
#

not the soft rounded look they have with this

#

also kalecgos changed for the worse

vernal vale
#

Ehh, at least this tier looks like actual plate for us. Hate when we seem to be wearing paper

mighty valley
#

my SL transmog had been the bandages + sweatpants lmao

vernal vale
#

I mean I used the brawlers guild set appearance for a long while minus that stupid helmet

#

I was also playing fury at the time though not prot.

chrome falcon
#

what are you talking about

#

that's not our tier

#

our tier is the one that looks like our tier from dragon soul

#

furthest left is clearly us

#

it's an upgraded dragon soul one

vernal vale
#

That would make sense lol. Reuse old assets with a coat of polish to make it seem new.

Looked like you got spec tree + class tree. Some elements of your class tree are influenced by your spec.

Given that TG is fury, doubt it.

1 thing that's for certain tho is bladestorm/ravager will be in warri tree

Maybe. Warrior isn't even demo'd so speculating is literally throwing shit into the void

Titans grip wari tree

Reprisal mid row for pwar

chrome falcon
#

if you look at the structure of the druid tree

it's very hard to actually get spells from other "specs"

cinder nova
#

Yeah, like I said, we've had a few good rage engines these last few expansions from the way the trees work and how our abilities are setup.

vernal vale
cinder nova
#

If this completely upends that we may have to say goodbye, but I really hope they haven't been ignoring the gameplay vectors of warrior (especially prot) these last few endagmes.

Because their high APM feedback loops is what makes them fun.

it was a little weird... the brewmaster hero appeared in one secret mission and just seemed like a joke character

#

then later they added that rexxar campaign and made him a little sidequest character, so he seemed more "real"

To be fair Rexxar is a way better character.

Fair enough.

Just do necro

Adding 2 more isn't gonna help that

It's not just a balance issue

they still probably would be uber slow to do anything

Issa ranged

Balance doesn't matter for shit

chilly brook

Also in fairness it's literally 1 dps spec 1 healing spec

At the end of the day it's just numbers that matter in terms of balance

Wasnt it 2 dps 1 heal

But Design is a WHOLE nother issue

It's 1 ranged 1 healer

Buffing the big one has only been the thing cuz it's the strongest numerically

So it's just been alot of??? Here's alot of imps

That was the point of the rework

was to make you feel like a master summoner with an army of summons

divine intervention ๐Ÿคž

chilly brook

maybe make divine storm and judgement interact similarly to storm strike/crash lightning

divine storm on a short ish CD

but allows your judgement to cleave and deal more damage per target hit

I like currently ret with build spend

It's only frost dk and fury war

Vdh generally worse than us
