Class identity lost

When will warriors get a fortitude?
When will rogues get a gift of the wild?
When will any class have everything?
When did this game turn into retail?

Not a fan of raid wide lion or raid wide wild strikes. I liked the game more when you’re raid comp still mattered. It does that less and less. Soon there will be raid wide auras and raid wide totems and raid wide battle shouts.

Why would you bring 2 of an average class when everything is raid wide? There are players that enjoy playing average classes. Those people will have a harder time finding a raid now. No we will see an even higher demand for rogues, hunters and shadow priests.

Why is there only 1 Druid in an era raid? But 20 warriors?
Keep classes relevant. There is 8 classes and 20 spots. Game design that requires 2 per class for an optimal raid comp is welcome.

Classic+ will realize this dream for you.

You’re not wrong in the slightest. At least freaks are pretty strong at the moment to minimize their irrelevance.

SoD can’t be saved. Time to cut your losses. I lost interest at the start of P2 and I’m so glad I missed this dumpster fire.

We don’t need doomsayers here. I wanted to encourage a discussion about class identity and raid compositions. And what could’ve be improved.

warriors already have a stam buff?

Ya. Because the comp was amazing: Priest, Paladin MT healer, half-dozen Rogues…everything else Warrior. :roll_eyes:

((Can’t say much about Horde, but probably a Shaman for each warrior group.))

it’s always funny to see people having meltdowns over changes in a game mode that is literally designed to make changes

Era is right there. Go back to it.

I critiqued era. Did you read that?

Because the content is stupidly easy and you can bring who you want and still succeed.

Commanding Shout is a book

Just because “thats how it was in classic” doesn’t mean it was good for the game.

If you really want comps to matter (they never have in classic), go play TBC and see what its like to not have enough shamans or shadow priests in your raid group.

Class identity isn’t lost, Every class still brings something to the table. Ferals are still insanely high DPS over everything else as well.

Reactivated sub to play era. My feedback is just as valid as yours.

I wanted SoD to be good, and it was good, until it wasn’t.

You people legitimately want SoD to suck. Anyone actually PLAYING this game that was a melee not getting WS because of favoritism knew this playstyle SUCKED and went away for a reason. Only old weirdos try and fight for this type of stuff to stick around.

Welcome to the year 2024.

You can quit something because it sucks, while simultaneously wishing it didn’t suck. The implication there is that if it didn’t suck, I would probably pick it up again.

SoD’s issues are many, but since you brought it up, Wild Strikes is dumb and should never have been implemented. Same with aspect of the lion and all the other unique abilities that were given to everyone.

No, it’s about making raid balancing fair. Because believe it or not most people that play MMO’s care a lot about that stuff.

I know you Oldies like living in a world where you get brought for your class buffs and that’s it, but in 2024, most people hate that kind’ve stuff and just want to play the game based on fun rotations and gameplay hence why Raid Buffs are the thing they tried to make sure weren’t as make or break in SoD. Thankfully and RIGHTFULLY so.
