Wait - you mean to link me evidence of vanilla era things (2004-2006) working as intended that contain combat parses and video footage from 2008? Really?

Oh and thank you for the evidence proving that extra attacks in 2008 did not happen instantly.
20:53′54.093 Faptamerica gains 1 Attack from Windfury Attack 20:53′54.093 Faptamerica’s Swing hits Brutallus for 1166 Physical damage (glancing)
and then 20:53′54.453 Faptamerica gains Windfury Attack 20:53′54.546 Faptamerica’s Swing hits Brutallus for 1393 Physical damage (glancing)
Clearly a full .5 second later and only 1 attack granted not 2
Show me some real evidence that this extra attack bug happened in 2004-2006 the way its happening now. This proc also happened .01 second after gasining the buff, not .5.

20:52:16 is the melee attack that granted the wf proc (2 extra attacks)
20:52:17 windfury instant
20:52:17 windfury instant
20:52:17 one of those extra attacks granted a hoj proc (1 attack)
20:52:17 hoj instant
20:52:17 explain this one
Spell batching on a .4 rotation. Correct.
The pic i linked is from Classic - with procs happeneing at .01 - no spell batching because people are exploiting it
Yeah, which is exactly the problem. They added a retail version of spell batching into a classic game. A huge change. #nochanges. This bug must be fixed to be in line with vanilla.
you said that using Spell Batching to gain Reck charges was an exploit - my rebuttal was that never mind the fact that there is video evidence of it being possible, but that Seal Twisting also followed the exact same functionality by using Spell Batching in order to have 2 Seals proc off of the same white swing and off of each other.
dude, you brought Reckoning into the conversation needlessly here lol
and your evidence was soundly debunked by my retorts because unlike you, I actually spoke with the author of the “blue” post as well as the original Vanilla WoW class designer, Kevin Jordan where we talk about Seal Twisting among many other subjects regarding Paladins:
Nope. Reckoning provides an instant counterattack for 1 swing *and using an exploit with spell batching (that is stop/start your swing within that batch) you can get 2 attacks
Kevin Jordan was the original Vanilla WoW class designer broheim…
aka he worked for BLIZZARD and designed each of the classes
Kevin Jordan is a former Game Designer at [Blizzard Entertainment]. He was one of three original game designers on the [World of Warcraft] team, after [Allen Adham] and [Eric Dodds]. He designed nearly all the spells for all the classes available in vanilla World of Warcraft .
He spoke at the [BlizzCon 2007] World of Warcraft Class Discussion panel. https://wow.gamepedia.com/Kevin_Jordan
Windfury, sword spec, hoj all proc every single fight. I already feel much better knowing Theloras has deemed it not an exploit for all of wow.
Shamans and wf weapon granting 2…no wait now 3-4 instant attacks.
Sword spec rogues with hoj and wf totem.
Doy uo understand why im concerned about this, and not to just let it slide? Player power is absurd with this.
All of those extra attacks can proc more for a chain proc - and now that they will be granting an additional attack aswell - twice as much instant damage.
No they could infact reinstate the cooldown with /startattack that existed in 2008, so spamming it would be pointless. They could also remove /sit granting an auto crit to stop it from being abused. Many things could be used to balance it.
Its your place as a player. Unsure of your main/faction - but alliance will have to compete with god tier paladins farming solo honor. Think about it.
