Dont Nerf Sapphiron

@Ziryus-doomhammer

But it sounds like it was working as intended if they didn’t even notice it not working as intended

what makes you think that? you just repeated yourself.

@Ianarian-grobbulus

The true ‘error version’ of classic is people stacking 15 world buffs for raids and killing bosses in 20 seconds. That couldn’t possibly be intended

nothing about that constitutes an error

[Impsie-atiesh]

so you want a harder boss but then defend world buffs, I have to laugh.

[Joyson-sulfuras]

@Impsie-atiesh

so you want a harder boss

i want the boss to be as hard as it was intended to be

@Impsie-atiesh

then defend world buffs

not much to defend it from

[Ianarian-grobbulus]

@Joyson-sulfuras

If that was truly the case you’d want world buffs removed.

More or less no one was stacking them in 2006 and as soon as they did start to stack them in early 2007 world buffs were disabled.

@Ianarian-grobbulus

it is truly the case and i dont want world buffs removed because world buffs and the difficulty of the game are not connected, and you have no proof that they are.

@Ianarian-grobbulus

More or less no one was stacking them in 2006

nobody cares

@Ianarian-grobbulus

as soon as they did start to stack them in early 2007 world buffs were disabled

again nobody cares. this is classic not vanilla

thats right, run in fear of my insurmountable debate skills. i am the winner here

Blizzard has always listened to its players. I really appreciate that. Please listen and try to understand if more players would actually prefer to let the content be more difficult than it was in 2006. Personally, I would also like you to reconsider the policy of try to faithfully recreate the original experience as much as possible going forward with any new content for WoW classic. Many players want a difficult game with similar combat gameplay to wow classic. I think it would truly excite players similar to how NoChanges excited us. Turns out no changes was a mistake but our mistake not Blizzard’s.

[Dwarfeus-old-blanchy]

You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Top healers went OOM before 50% with a tick a sec period. It was nowhere near that in Classic. They clearly explained where sometimes it clipped ticks but who cares. You want them to include a tick here and they to be 100% exact? Casual guilds won’t be getting past the PTR version anytime soon. You yourself haven’t even done any raids since phase 4 so I’m not sure why you’re so concerned.

@Joyson-sulfuras

so its not your fault that you didnt understand what was going on.

excuse me how about you stop trying to provoke someone, i very much understand what was writen and im also very capple of watching 2006 kills and see it tick every 2 sec and see ptr kills having it tick every 1sec…

why would i be trying to provoke you? i literally only care about whats right and whats wrong. not my feelings. not your feelings. just correct or incorrect.

ok if your next response doesnt contain anything meaningful i wont respond and ill let you have the pleasure of leaving the last comment

@Pazorax-1880

in the original code, action triggers share a timer with periodic spell ticks, and action triggers were always processed first. In modern code, they run on independent timers, so a long-running action script won’t delay a spell tick

Does this mean that DoT’s and other abilities technically work different in classic vs Vanilla when spammed to fish up procs?

[Magicblunt-pagle]

= damage to the 2006 version. Not more or less

[Joyson-sulfuras]

@Magicblunt-pagle

damage to the 2006 version. Not more or less

its actually less than what the original designer of sapphiron intended it to be. the 2 second tick is an error, and they are choosing to go with the error version rather than the correct 1 second tick version

@Pazorax-1880

We also reached out to the original designer, who still works at Blizzard, on a different game team. After we described our findings, he agreed that the intended behavior was for the damage to be every second, and the fact that the reapplication of the aura was clipping a tick of the DoT was a bug that wasn’t noticed or fixed until Wrath of the Lich King.

[Magicblunt-pagle]

Argue it all you want. It’s going to be the way it actually worked in vanilla so get over it.
