wod s1 let combat rogues kidney for something like 8 or 9 seconds by combining deeper strategem with a finisher empowering debuff called revealing strike. this happened in mop too but deeper strategem was a pve set bonus & nobody really played combat. it was nerfed either halfway through s1 or at the end of it.
i imagine this is similar to what oppress is doing no? long kidneys?
Instead of decreasing slows why not increase base moment speed in PvP?
Don’t worry, you could probably double it and you will still feel like you are crawling around this game.
As if chasing 200% speed dragons and hunters who are immune to everything isn’t obnoxious enough
i think the games been due for an increase in wheelchair mode tbh. idk how overboard its gotten but 66% doesn’t sound bad
countless endless snares and mini CCs, annoying AF, game design is bad, let alone the mmr squeeze and boosters/bots
Everyone would get the same increase. It doesn’t really change anything other than it not feeling terrible trying to get anywhere on a map.
Even without snares applied, movement in this game is snail speed.
Yep! Super similar. I think the fundamental difference is oppress is dispellable and has a long cd as opposed to being a baseline modifier to kidney.
7s kidney WAS a thing with deeper strat in slands too, though.
yeah i remember that and thinking it was weird as i’m pretty sure after wod they said something about kidney not being able to exceed 6s in pvp or something.
I like these kinds of things tbh. Especially purge / dispel stuff as it generally requires gcd management/ awareness on top of it. Gives that read/reaction speed vibe if you can play around it. Going back to cata has me working on my interrupt speed to catch the monkey blind / prekicking more often. Always loved the microsecond gameplay personally. Purging NS, whatever have you.
Shiv can be the cooldown, it already is to enhance poison effects. Or do you not play rogue?
Have snares become as irritatingly frequent as spell interrupts?
Time for precog for snares! If someone tries to snare you while you aren’t moving, you get blessing of freedom for 3 seconds. You will spend most of your gameplay trying to “bait” this effect, just like spell precog. Fun fun!
Class Homogenization has been going on since WOTLK.
its been going on since vanilla. half the specs dont even have a kick back then.
regardless, we dont have to dwell on what happened 16 years ago to discuss modern day bloat due to modern day systems
and now Clemency returns and casting Freedom on others gives it to the Ret and its undispellable.
Careful what you wish for, that monkey’s paw is always listening
Stop being bad and use fade/positioning.
Much love.
When I’m crossing a bg with a 70% slow on me, I’ll be sure to hide behind a rock.
presses chains
I still wake up screaming…
They’re not going to remove weapon poisons just to make you happy
Chains of ice is fine because DK’s are not that opressive.
Won’t someone think of the dks?
