Can we please remove power from CDs, and return it to base class?

Pull something, Pop no CDs. Do 400-700k dps.
Pop CDs. 4-5 Million DPS.

Doing something solo (maybe Delves). Pull a small group, maybe 1 mob. “Oh, not worth CDs, they will be wasted with a small or single group”
Fights that mob about as long as a CD would of taken to recharge.

Okay, Pull next pack. PoP CDs. Vaporized. Rest of the CD is wasted as I frantically run to next group.

This is such a silly way to play the game.

CD to me is 1.5min CDs+ (maybe 1 mins for some classes)

Would just be nice if some things were taken off the GCD. Fighting the gcd boss every opener is so boring lol. They made alot of gcd changes after legion, have hated it since.

Yep. Both are annoying trends that have gotten out of control.

It’s funny seeing a hunter say that lol, I play 6 or 7 classes right now and hunter is the only one that has any problems with gcds lol. My rogue can legit put like 6 cds into a one shot macro while my hunter has to cast every one over 6 seconds.

They actually have improved cds thought quite a bit from how they used to be though, wings on pally is 1 min now, many classes have small 30 second cds to keep running on small packs like op mentions, and many classes have cool down reduction systems in place for larger cooldowns. Idk, overall I think it’s moving in a good direction, some classes still need to be looked at though.

Same, Frenzied Regeneration feels horrible to use ever since 8.0.
GCD has no place on such a spell.
(Also, they might as well just revert the whole spell since the legion iteration was straight up better: " Heals you for 50% of all damage taken in the last 5 sec over 3 sec, minimum 5% of maximum health.")

without setup the game is boring.

All tank heals being on the GCD sucks. Having to pick between holding aggro on a fresh pull and healing back what you lost before AM could be activated is intensely stupid when tank healing threat is also basically nonexistent.

Knowing when to pop CDs is a skill.

Oh it’s so giga ultra big boy brain to use cds on pull, what genius could have ever thought of that.

Laughs in Radiant Glory.

Ngl, I’d love to see some of UHDK’s power put back in its base kit. Stronger dots, more damage on scourge strike and less in festering wounds, some of dark transformation’s power put back in the standard ghoul, definitely a bump to that death coil proc, and having at least some of our old base rune regen back.

What class even does this? Augvoker?

Glad you agree, the opener on BM is so so boring. Beastial Wrath being on the gcd is the worst.
