I feel like there are a lot of people crying about a boss they will likely never see, let alone kill having its damage reduced. Everyone on class discords were pretty concerned with Sapph being released as it was on the PTR - and the fix makes the fight what everyone was already expecting - as intended.
Stop crying about Blizzard giving you a gddamn boss fight as it was in 2006 and not a changed version of it
gatekeepers gonna gatekeep
no idea what we want. do we want âthe fixâ or do we want âthe ptrâ? all i know is i want the boss to be as difficult as possible
still unsure about whether or not i am supposed to be happy about âthe fixâ
can we start quantitatively measuring important things again
Youâre getting the fight as it was in 2006
more damage or less damage
Youâre getting the fight as it was in 2006
if youre not capable of answering my question just say so
If you could understand text I wouldnât have to repeat myself
so youre incapable of answering my question
The fight is as it was in 2006.
right. so what im trying to get at here, is a better understanding of why this is being done in the first place. if it wasnât important, nobody would care, right? soâŚ
600 frost damage every second was originally intended by âoriginal designerâ
-Pazorax 11/12/2020
this is not what âoriginal designerâ intended, Pazorax
You understand what a PTR is right?
And yet the fight was not released that way, or ever fixed
Intended and actualized are different things
The designer for Shade of Aran didnât intend for the flame wreath mechanic to work the way it did - but changing it wouldnât have been any better for the community so it stayed.
please educate me on what a public test realm is
what do you mean?

what are you even talking about. lol. âintended and actualizedâ.
if you want that example to have any significance you will need to explain it in more detail
They should do one for hard mode hakkar like was there a point to it other then just pushing you to the other bosses first.
A designer intended for damage per second, we got every 2 seconds and this was never âfixedâ so in order to have a Classic raid it follows it should be the form of the Sapphrion we had in 2006. Many other bugs, and other weird things were also brought over into classic because it is a re-creation warts and all.
A place where they test fights before release to check to see if things are bugged or not working as intended. Clearly Sapphiron was not working as intended - so itâs fixed.
so⌠you want the easier, 600 damage every 2 seconds version? is that correct? (not here to judge, just trying to get an accurate reading of what your end goal here is)
right right right, not here to judge⌠i see they have a special going on at weenie hut jr yesterday? i think it was mega weenie wednesdays. how did that go?

ah so yeah, nothing i didnt already know
The fight, in 2006 had 600 damage every 2 seconds with a 1% chance for the boss to hit 2 or 3x in a row for 600.
That is what they have returned the fight to, as per the blue posts. I think this has been very clearly explained here.
I mean, could do it in zero FR for all members with a melee heavy raid. Pretty sure all your healers would take a bath with their toaster after that, but could be fun
no argument here. totally 100% agree with you
I think they should make it 600 damage every second instead of every 2 seconds, just as âoriginal designerâ intended
oh yes, i have figured it all out without your help
Well, if you got to do the PTR then you got your fight. But it wasnât intended, and classic isnât about re-doing content. Plenty of private servers intentionally overturned content and changed mechanics to make things more difficult so you could always do that.
or raid mythic, I hear thatâs a bit of a challenge
sadly i didnât, nor do i have any experience with naxx, vanilla, private server, or otherwise
uhm, sweaty?
lol
ok
more pointless words
