What’s a spell or ability in the game that just annoys you? Maybe you hate the way it feels to use in combat or feel like it spoils the fantasy of a spec. And how would you fix it if given the chance?
Me, I’d choose wildfire bomb. I hate that ability. Gameplay-wise it’s fine I guess. But it just embodies what a mess of a spec survival is conceptually. Throwing bombs regularly as a melee fighter is just ludicrous. Especially when “survival” is literally the name of the game. But more than that, if the idea is that you’re supposed to be a rugged survivalist living off the land then your abilities should reflect that. You aren’t cobbling together bombs with stuff found in nature. What they could cobble together though is some kind of nasty concoction of thorns, burs and animal venom. Have that be the idea of the spell, and change the damage to poison and/or bleeding. It would function the same but actually fit the fantasy.
Living bomb.
Super satisfying to watch it blow up and see how the numbers fly but if you put any points into the fire tree to get it you don’t have any single Target DPS.
I feel bad saying this because I know how powerful it is, but I hate Alter Time. I’ve had it for eons now but I’ve never gotten to a point where it feels natural for me to use, because I have a perennial paranoia of using it at a wrong moment where I’d be worse off than if I never touched the ability at all.
I’d also lop off Shifting Power too, because I dislike the “cooldown for your cooldown” aspect of it. It’s one thing for Cold Snap to reset defensives because you might want to hold it a bit to bring back more than just Ice Block, but Shifting Power is just “that cooldown you channel after your DPS cooldowns are done”.
Incanter’s Flow could go too. The only real reason for its existence was to be a “not Rune of Power” trap talent (thank GOD that spell is gone) but with RoP gone, all it does is be a little annoying with a buff number going up and down for no good reason in particular.
Kinda surprised nobody said Power Infusion once this thread… I mean would be wild if it effected more than target and caster so people stop throwing a tantrum about not getting it. Could make it like the priest’s blood lust or something but not canceled out if blood lust is already used
