Yep. Even as early as Wrath (and probably earlier) “hero” and “champion” weren’t exactly new titles for our characters. Personally, I can appreciate a return to just being an adventurer in DF, though I did like being called “commander” in WoD. It had a nice ring to it. It’s a shame that WoD was terrible.
Blizzard will delete the class for all mages reroll evoker
Thanks for killing the fun pres evoker spec and relegating us raiding evokers to boring blossom builds. With the upcoming set bonuses in 10.1, there isn’t going to be “creating a variety of viable builds” it’s just going to be bronze in m+ and green in raiding. And green raiding is so painfully boring. Dream breath, emerald blossom. Dream breath, emerald blossom. Dream flight. Rewind. With the next tier set it’ll be firebreath, spiritbloom, dreambreath, drop more emerald blossoms with the essence proc. Then stasis all the blossoms you get from the essence procs so you can drop even more blossoms. Very fun and engaging gameplay. While also making certain cooldown juggles we do now with lifebind/TA/verdant embrace obsolete and thus removing a layer of fun and challenge from our rotation.
I’ve said this elsewhere but evoker is a HERO CLASS. It is your first healing-based hero class, no less. There should be a build option that’s easier for newer players to pick up that does less healing (green) and a more challenging high-risk/high-reward build for experienced players to play. (bronze.) You’re taking the hero class I enjoyed playing because I had to review logs to figure out my own build, stat prios, and figure out how the talents/cooldowns interacted to really start to shine in raid fights - and dumbing it down to “press emerald blossom on cooldown and obsidian scales as a defensive.” Do you know how satisfying it felt to finally suss out the right build, learn how to do my rotation properly, learn how to manage my cooldowns, and start parsing? It was incredibly satisfying. And that is how a hero class should feel and be. People think bronze build is just flinging out TA and then casting reversion. That’s the bulk of the filler, the same way other healing classes have filler casts. The rest of it involves knowing staggering charge abilities, when to use TA and spread echo and then use VE to spread lifebind and etc. etc. I could go on but it’s very clear if you go look at the warcraftlogs of top parsing prevokers.
Not only are you wiping out the bronze build, but you’re doing it in the MIDDLE of the current season. After those of us who built our gear sets built for bronze build, specifically. My raid drops, my crafted gear, everything were tailored towards this build. You think I’m going to bother swapping everything around in the middle of the freaking season? No, I’m going to just go play a different class. What happened to “major tweaks only during major patches so everyone stays on the playing ground they’ve gotten used to” eh?
This isn’t going to address the healer imbalance in m+ at all, it is only going to effect raiding evokers. Go take a look at the warcraftlogs top healer rankings. It’s not like how it was the month after launch. It’s extremely varied, prevokers aren’t dominating anymore.
You’ll also notice that all the people that go “I’m going to reroll evoker because my class sucks” or “just delete my class because evokers do it all better anyway” or “evokers are overpowered” or “my new healing tier set sucks compared to the OP evoker tier set you’re making” don’t actually seriously play evokers, do they?
You’re turning a fun, unique HERO class into a less interesting version of a druid.
Actually let me rephrase that. You are taking a hero class that has only 1 fun, functional spec, (because dev evoker is a mess and you all know that given you’re revamping it in 10.1) can’t use transmog, constantly deals with bugs, is a laughingstock in the game because of the models, can’t even fly as a baseline even though it has giant wings, has had almost everyone swap back to their original, more fun, less buggy classes, - and turning it into a less interesting version of a druid. One of the major features of the expansion, and almost everyone I know has swapped from their evoker back over to something else. And frankly, these changes and the changes on the 10.1 PTR show exactly the direction you’re going in, so I’ll probably follow suite. On the plus side, this is the last major rant post you’ll get from me about it because I’ll be playing my shaman instead. Though you all need an option to figure out how to freaking swap profession progress between characters because I busted my rear to get my alchemy tree filled out and that’s 3-4 months of work going to waste when I do swap mains. I’m not even going to touch the new profession system on my other chars because I don’t want to risk this happening again and losing even more work.
So finally I can play hunter after the Raz bow bug is fixed?
But now my guild is already on the last phase of Razageth.
Thanks for ruining it for 97% of hunters who don’t have the bow and were forced to sit out of Mythic prog.
USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY
-fixed an issue with hunters name plates disappearing on feign death and never returning
-fixed an issue with raid style party frames not showing pets.
Also Adding conquest boxes in 10.07. for healer mains with 15k+ conquest on more then one healer. With nothing to do with it, it should of been added a week or 2 after uncapped conquest.
thanks
So you nerfed protection warriors to the point that protection paladins were already ahead of them in high lvl 20+ keys and now you buffed paladins even further. You literally destroyed the protection warrior spec with your countless nerfs the last few months and now widened the gap even more, thanks a lot.
Nothing added for Warriors in this update? What the hell is wrong with you Blizzard.
No
Cuts both ways.
On one hand, we are not chosen ones. On the other, how are we just unknown adventurers after killing old gods, the legion, the scourge, etc?
Oh, thanks for extensive list of mage changes that people been asking literally for 4 years
Wait, there’s not a single line of change for a mage? Clunky, broken, borderline unplayabe with single build with no talent choices for all specs and that rune of power garbage literally everyone hate?
I hope not, but blizzard is definitely confused since glory of the legion hero is already an account wide tint once base is unlocked while monstrosities is not. So we’ll know tuesday i guess 
- Search for customers now shows the range of possible item levels for each item.
are there really servers that have enough work orders just sitting there to need this. I still rarely see any work orders (for any profession - I have them all) even after the reduction to 4 a day, in fact, for some professions it is worse than it was before.
Phew, those warriors changes are intense.
Lol… what did y’all need? Arms is strong af and i’m pretty sure prot is an S tier tank.
Someone has to die for the cause, and die we did. History don’t remember soldiers, it remembers leaders. We were often led by one of the many real hero’s of Azeroth.
Seems way to late to be pushing out these types of changes to the season. Either do it sooner or wait till next season.
Sort of assumes we were just a nobody, not one of the people who had a fundamental role in killing something like Ragnaros.
Like Soji Okita, Musashi, Simo Hayha, George Patton, Robert Howard all became distingushed from their feats.
It is kind of annoying when I get a quest telling me clean crap when I saved Azeroth more times than I can count.
Point is there’s no truly correct way to go about this.
How I’d like it would just to have some notice certain accomplishments noticed while questing if appropriate (like especially in Shadowlands: “oh you! You helped fell the Lich King! You avenged my family, you have my thanks, hero”.
But then some who just started playing would have no idea what they were talking about.
Sounds nice and all, but it would take more work then it’s worth. Adventurer is the way to go, just sport your title next to your name like King Slayer if you want people to know what you did.
I dig the QOL updates to the Zapthrottle. Farming elemental souls right now is a real pain in the butt.
Faction Envoys may finally get me to sit down and finish grinding Renown.
