Anyone else feel the SOD Jealousy

Anyone else really kind of feel like retail should have gotten 2H enhance shamans, warlock tanks, and Mage Healers? I know it’s a lot more simple to throw something on classic since we’re working with over 20 years of game mechanics.

I just can’t help but feel like we should have those cool things on retail. :I

I’m jealous of wrath classic for having a functional death knight that people want to take to raid :')

Dk is ‘functional’. It’s just an annoying cd management that gets me.

M+ especially. setup setup setup setup setup… mash 2 buttons. :yawning_face:

Problem is to do the things in retail that would make it ‘cool’, it would require major gutting and rework.
Devs already can’t balance anything as is. Imagine trusting them with the reworking required to get a functional 2h shaman for example xD

I don’t experience jealous because I’m superior in every way.

Nope. They can’t maintain everything we have now. Some specs are still an unfinished mess. I don’t feel we need more.

I feel 0 SOD jealousy. I’m happy people are enjoying it, but it is not for me.

Plus they seem to be having a ton of balancing problems over there.

I really gave SoD a shot but phase 2 has been trash. So I am back having fun in retail for now.

No, I’m pretty happy with the class/spec variety we have now.

Nah. Classic is fun to go revisit now and then, but I can’t say I’m jealous of their content. Glad they’re enjoying SoD.

Although I hear a GM appeared to tank that STV boss for them, so that’s pretty cool. Maybe a little jealous in that regard.

I agree if they can’t balance everything perfectly to a .01% variance from level 1-70 and all forms of content they should stop treating balance as a problem for making creative choices. Augmentation is cool, bring back gladiator stance.

Nah. I’m a healer and a mage, and I don’t even want healer mage.

Retail needs major help and patches.

Why are older versions of the game receiving more attention?

1-60 is negligible. That is purely leveling content. However, with how bad pvp is and it just gets worse every xpac…

Another aspect, how damage rotations are more about cd management than actual dps abilities.

Aug is cool, but also a massive mistake. They showed us what its like having an actual support spec and stopped there. They mentioned in interviews about not adding another support type spec which adds onto the mistake.
They opened a door they can’t close, and their idea was the apply duct tape instead of just expand support specs to existing classes.

I miss 2h enhance so much

:roll_eyes:

No.

I am perfectly fine with SoD being the gimmick it is.

Why do you think older versions of the game are receiving more attention?

We literally have a major expansion coming out soon.

I know this is your thing, to be anti-WoW. but come on.

I dont. It was one of the worst class designs I have ever seen in 20 years of any MMORPG I have played.

I am thankful that enhance is actually good for once.

I’m actually pretty happy with how Enhancement is now. I enjoy it immensely.

But just think how fun it would be if you turned on auto attack and mostly were just waiting for a proc to decide if you did anything good.

Well in SOD at least roles are more or less roles. In retail we have 4 “kinda” roles now, aug isn’t really dps it is like .8 dps + .2 heals + .2 tanks. Then because of dps offhealing imbalance you have some dps that are like 1 dps + .5 heals when it matters and others that are like 1dps + 0.02 heals all the time. Then you have some tanks that are like 1 tank + 0.3 heals or like 1 tank + 0.3 dps + cc of a tank and 2 dps
