Dazed gang rise up!

[Verheinen-kelthuzad (Verheinen)]

So why doesn’t my shield absorb it after 8.2? Is it because “”“reasons”""?

This game is going down the toilet.

I have no problem with your shield absorbing a blow. I never said otherwise. What i disagree with is removing daze completely. Please read what i actually said.

Blizzard has already replied on another thread that it was unintended and would be fixed.

@Kaivax

This change was not intended. We’re investigating the issue and plan to fix it in the Rise of Azshara PTR as soon as possible.

Its a garbage mechanic that needs to go. Why do you think inconvenience is a good game mechanic when the players are already slowed down to a snail’s pace as it is?

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s garbage.

I like it because:

It’s because I think if you’re riding along, without a magical shield, on yourr frog mount and you get smacked in the face with a sword/mace/club/flail/arcane barrage/fire ball you’re not just going to roll through it. You’ll get knocked off your horse. Plus if you pay attention to your surroundings mobs are pretty easy to avoid with minimal effort.

If you get whacked without any sort of mitigation you’re falling off your mount.

[Lucrend-thrall (Lucrend)]

Why is it a good mechanic? All you’ve done is describe what it is. It serves no benefit its literally nothing but a hindrance.

[Verheinen-kelthuzad (Verheinen)]

It serves no benefit its literally nothing but a hindrance.

So are mobs, so are dungeon bosses and raid bosses, so are D&R mechanics etc etc

It’s a good mechanic because it makes sense in the setting we’re in. Just like when you run your mount through a lake you slow down to swim. It makes sense, you can’t swim as fast as you run. If you get hit in the face with a pike and you have no way to mitigate the damage you’re going to get dazed.

Now taking away the daze mitigation from shields seems stupid, and it looks like it’s getting fixed, but getting rid of daze completely is just as stupid. Like I said, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s trash mechanic.

You say it’s trash because it’s a hindrance, yes. it’s supposed to be, that’s how it’s designed. So daze is working as intended.

You really will just eat up anything Blizzard gives you. Enjoy the ghost town this game becomes when decisions like the ones made in BFA drives away a good portion of the playerbase.

This one turned out to be a bug but expect more mount nerfs in the future. It won’t be long until we have to buy flying equipment to enable mounts to fly, on top of a year time gate on it.

Just a heads up to anyone who didn’t read the article in question. Blizzard has said that this was an unintended mechanic and intends to fix it asap.

Typical response of someone who can’t refute an argument. If you look at my post history you’ll see I’m not a blizzard shill. Nor am I a hysterical alarmist crying the sky is falling at every turn. Hell, in this very thread I said I think that they’re going to take away flying from flying mounts and make us use mount equipment.

Whatever makes you feel good though, if I have to be a whiteknight to blizz for you to feel good. It’s fine with me.

I can’t rise up, I’m dazed.

[Doomgard-illidan (Doomgard)]

just get an absorb trait (resounding protection)

no mob is doing 16k dmg to you while passing by not even the world bosses

not only is it one of the best PvE and PvP traits to begin with it has to be on one of your pieces.

[Thecheat-turalyon (Thecheat)]

They increased daze. Haven’t you noticed?

They’ve stealth-buffed it multiple times, in fact, since MoP. I just haven’t cared enough to comment on it as recently due to reducing my playtime after Legion.

[Sayura-earthen-ring]

Daze served its purpose as a pvp mechanic in the very early days of the game. Now it’s just annoying.

Daze never should have been made in the first place. PvP RUINS PvE and needs to go away so we can have a better PvE experience.
