Class design is strange. Low skill classes should deal less damage

I would argue this is dumb.

Personally I don’t care how complex your class is as long as you can stay alive. Wether you are pressing 4 buttons or 8 buttons doesn’t matter.

Here is an idea play the easier class no one is forcing you to play the class you are playing.

In a perfect world everyone should be at the same dps level then skill divides the amazing from the mediocre this should have nothing to do with how many buttons you are pressing.

Also you should change it to say that how many different buttons you press because that’s the real argument you are making.

APM…… bro I can sit there and spam tiger punch and my apm will be hella high but my dps will be super low…

Think smarter not harder

The average player isn’t parsing purple and oranges.

Or getting aotc within the first month

Or getting ce

It’s harder to put it into practice and play at a higher level.

269

If you say so. WoW is still just hitting buttons in response to predictable situations and conditions.

270

Then where are your top parses?

271

People do know there’s more to your spec than the damage it deals, right?

I imagine anyone playing Shaman semi-frequently at least knows this very well.

272

I’m not worried about parsing in an easy game. Honestly I deleted my DPS meter months ago.

273

Lol that’s why you post on an alt. Don’t want people to see your gray parses

274

Guess what sorry to burst your bubble but class design will be simplified come TWW. like arcane being more significantly more new player friendly.

I made this character in remix because i wanted to try out the spec in a stress free envrionment.

Good lord half of Arcane tree is abilities. My bars are full of abilities i dont really know how to use together, Cast ball to make the dots fill up and then use a 4dot arcane blast, repeat. spam arcane missles between and just slap at anything not on cooldown.
I need a video tutorial on this spec.

Spoiler alert, I don’t even do M+ or raids in Dragonflight.

278

I wish more people would subscribe to this way of thinking.

“I keep dying as a shaman”
“Then run away and heal yourself”
“I CANT!”
“Dude you have wolf form, hex, frost shock, capacitor totem…”
Those arenʻt on my bars because they DONʻT DO DAMAGE!"

279

Absolutely yes. TWW is another great step forward in game design from what I’ve seen thus far. We’re actually getting back to a point where many of the specs are fun to play again.

280

What is even considered “fun”? By anyone standards.

281

Varies from person to person I suppose, but the direction they’re going in right now is more fun than the direction they’re coming from.

In my opinion, of course.

So commenting on content you don’t do.

283

I’ve done it all before. I’ve played this game for 20 years. It’s all just some variation of proc whack a mole, cooldown tracker addons, and getting out of the fire.

284

Games big different now than 20 years ago.

Yeah you don’t actually have a clue.

285

nope nope and double-nope. Pls take this Overwatch mentality back to Overwatch. You dont get to decide which classes are “low skill.” And litearlly not reading the rest of this b/c your’e coming at it with a tude.

Enlighten me.
