Daily reminder that all specs should be AOE capped or none of them should be

Title.

Makes zero sense how some specs get shafted and others get off scot free.

You will have to deal with it till the expansion ends and then they will try to innovate new ways to break stuff

Lol, this is so true…BFA was the GCD change and SLs was the AOE change.

Wonder what’s next?

Mages need to be one of the best classes at Blizz, its a rule.

Sosari-shadowmoon · February 25, 2021, 5:37pm

In the runs that I have been in, overall dps has been fairly even between uncapped and capped classes. If they made everyone uncapped, it would become more imbalanced than it is now. Even with warriors whirlwind being capped they do great damage on trash often topping charts on large pulls.

wait real talk…
what arnt aoe capped? is it specific abilities? across the board?
i need some help bubby

And the answer is that “none of them should be”. AE hardcaps are absurd.

Softcaps (max total damage split equally) are fine, but the idea that the game randomly chooses which of X mobs take damage… is not OK.

Nikolo-proudmoore · February 25, 2021, 5:38pm

Or the monk spinning crane kick…I can’t complain about my DPS, capped or not

Sosari-shadowmoon · February 25, 2021, 5:39pm

Yeah monk dps is crazy right now.

All specs should have heroic leap or none should.

All specs should have a battle rez or none should.

All specs should be able to attack at long range or none should.

All specs should be able to death grip or none should.

All specs should have ice block or none should.

That’s how you look.

Salana-lightbringer · February 25, 2021, 5:42pm

Meaningful choice.

Fenny-wyrmrest-accord · February 25, 2021, 5:42pm

I agree, nerf demon hunters.

Foxhound-fenris · February 25, 2021, 5:43pm

Arms’ aoe makes me sad, why is cleave not BASELINE.

Salana-lightbringer · February 25, 2021, 5:43pm

Ah and the token slippery slope joins the thread.

Marjah-thrall · February 25, 2021, 5:44pm

Is aoe cap stopping your normal mode progress?

Gutsmack-illidan · February 25, 2021, 5:44pm

I’m a warrior. I have bladestorm which makes me spin a big circle with my sword. I pull a pack of 20 mobs. It only hits eight.

How is that okay?

Paeldryth-hyjal · February 25, 2021, 5:44pm

Mages not being OP? Good joke friend.

Daark-cenarius · February 25, 2021, 5:44pm

This. Fury has been capped. WW was capped in Wrath. They did a pretty nice job tuning Fury and the sustained AoE and the AoE burst are extremely competitive.

I run with a well played fire mage. I don’t compete on the outright burst on large pulls, but I burst more frequently and finish the overall key about even. I am fine with that, classes are and should operate differently as long as they achieve comparable results.

Gutsmack-illidan · February 25, 2021, 5:44pm

I never said it was stopping any progression, it’s just annoying and unnecessary

Lhurgoyf-malfurion · February 25, 2021, 5:45pm

I wasn’t making the slippery slope arguement but sure I guess.
