Another 1900+ IO havoc — I’m probably done playing until next patch.
Can’t quite figure out what I don’t like…
Maybe it’s how anti-melee every dungeon is,
or maybe the new anti-melee affixes they added,
or maybe it’s the random Fel Rush bug that sends you flying a million miles,
or maybe it’s the laughable 4 min CD on meta which aligns horribly in so many dungeons,
or our awful single target DPS,
or maybe it’s needing to stand 100% still for a long eye beam cast and if you don’t get the full said cast you miss out on the haste buff,
or maybe it’s needing to time your unbound chaos proc for the next huge pull only to have the tank take a second too long to get the ads grouped and your proc falls off and miss out on a double unbound chaos combo,
or maybe you get it off but because melee pulls extra threat you rip threat off the tank and instantly die while a fire mage can simply just mirror image and pull a ludicrous 50k+ dps in melee range without any threat issues,
or maybe it’s the fact that eye-beam will literally pull the flying Spinemaw Reavers in mists if directly overhead,
or maybe it’s the fact that we need to use our mobility for damage in dungeons that are already so anti-melee and this is especially true if you play momentum, the moment build on the ring in SD will give you nightmares,
or maybe it’s the fact that Vengeful Retreat removes SNARES but not ROOTS!?!,
or maybe it’s the need to constantly align yourself properly so your lightless force procs don’t accidentally pull mobs while you are dashing around,
or the fact that blizzard made drums useless requiring every group to have a lust while coincidentally all the lusts classes are meta classes,
or maybe it’s the fact that we lost our leech, tankiness and blade dance dodge from BFA and now need to pick between either a mediocre amount of leech or a mediocre immunity,
or maybes it’s our super boring rotation with lack of any interesting talents,
or maybe it’s the spiteful affix ads having the melee range of a vanilla Tauren warrior,
or maybe it’s the fact that if you somehow deal with everything I listed above you will never pull more DPS than the the meta specs, because at the end of the day, most of our DPS is capped.
or maybe it’s the fact that we rarely get invited because we (1) are a melee, (2) are one of the weaker melees, (3) share the same class with S-Tier Veng DH, and (4) share one of the best covenants (night fae) with the other meta specs.
or maybe it’s the fact that you are forced to push your own key, but now if you deplete you will need to play with lower IO players to get the key back up, but since we aren’t exactly a “cary” spec in lower keys because we don’t have crazy CDs like fire-mage, boomkin and hunter, so it’s harder to cary your key back to it’s original level.
or maybe it’s the fact that it’s 2021 and there is still not a better UI for finding and making groups,
or maybe it’s the fact that most the dungeons are just so dull, (I recognize this is subjective)
or maybe it’s the fact that when I just want to have fun and cap my vault my significantly lower io alt mage gets into 14-15s faster than my havoc presumably because of some combination of blizzard forcing every group to have a lust class and the communities over-obsession with meta classes trickles down even in lower keys.
But hey, we give 5% extra magic damage if there isn’t already a Veng DH, a purge with a 10 sec CD, and a weaker version of leg sweep with a resource cost unless we talent into it!
Oh but at least we are good in PVP right?, oh wait nope, we are the least represented class in 2s AND 3s (source: arenamate dot net), have terrible defensives, clunky play-style and a gimmicky one-shot. But I also don’t PVP much so I’ll let others who are more qualified speak to that.
