Excessive keybinds. Time for major pruning of abilities

Cobra, KC, Barbed, Bestial Wrath, COTW, Death Chakram, Bloodshed. That’s 7 alone purely DPS spells. Then we have our defensives, mobilities, utilities, etc.

BM is probably on the lower end, but when you think of BM you do generally think 4-5 spells lol but the truth is even BM hunter gets up to around 20 spells to have bound for a raid. So if BM is at that many, imagine classes like Shamans and Mages in TWW.

I just push marrow rend, heart strike, and death strike

Instantly using 90% of bloods power budget (85% of it being death strike)

I was mistaken. You’re right. I logged on real quick to check. It’s about 20. Eclipse on the brain. About to go outside and check it out.

Options are not requirements. Stop trying to take choices away from people.

Maybe I’m just old but I feel like it’s a tad excessive

I have long decided to quit using MMO mouses and I’m much happier for it, since I play at many different locations.
All I need is a bog standard 5-button mouse now.
I can optimize this loadout, which is my main one, a lot more, with more macros, I just chose not to atm, as I only use this one for the world (WM on) and BGs when I don’t need to try hard.

I can easily trim it down to just 6-7 buttons with macros + mouse + clique.

Keyboard

` - Ice Nova
1 - Frostbolt
2 - Flurry
3 - Macro ([nomod] Ice Lance, [shift] Fire Blast)
4 - Glacial Spike
5 - Frost Nova
6 - Cone of Cold
7 - Icy Veins (macro with trinket + Saltwater Potion)
8 - Dragon’s Breath
0 - Polymorph: Rabbit

\ - Ice Block (this button is right beside LShift in my KB layout)
G - Ice Barrier
H - Blast Wave
R - Arcane Explosion
T - Comet Storm
P - Spellsteal
J - Frost Bomb
L - Time Warp

Mouse

Middle - Macro ([nomod] Blink, [alt] Ice Floes, [ctrl] Displacement, [shift] Frozen Orb)

Mouse 4 - Macro ([nomod] Pet Freeze, [shift] Blizzard, [ctrl] Ring of Frost, [alt] Ray of Frost)

Mouse 5 - Macro ([nomod] Counterspell, [shift] Ring of Fire, [ctrl] Meteor, [alt] Ice Wall) - this one needs updating since frost does not get Meteor anymore and I barely use Ice Wall anymore.

I always use mouse 5 as the main interrupt button.

Clique (addon to mod behavior on unit frames):

Alt - Remove Curse
Shift - Slow Fall

Gotta reevaluate the necessity of it, or use/make a CD tracker addon.

Unbound, but used: (I just click it since I rarely use it or it has a long CD and is not critical/can be used on prediction over reaction)

- Racial
- PvP Trinket
- Mass Barrier
- Alter Time
- Greater Invisibility
- Mirror Image

If you like skill-shot based PvP, RNG, and happen to have low latency.

I wouldn’t mind a small pruning but let’s be real, nobody gonna be happy about it.

I disagree.
I’d rather play BBlitz over Plunderstorm, if only for only having a single map.

Plunderstorm gets tedious quickly, especially when the main winning strat for it is avoiding PvP until the very end: “PvE as much as you can, while hiding and waiting for people to kill each other to take their leftover skills. Try to get level 10 + 4 good skills, with at least one being a movement skill, or you’re very likely SoL”

It’s also downright unplayable against US players at even mid-high latency (190ms+), and barely acceptable at 130-150ms.

Well ya, Live is a hot mess on CC, micro CC, and mongo DPS untill you win. I get PS is dollar tree Fortnite but whats that say about Live

BGs, despite the MASSIVE imbalance of specs (HDH, MM), is much more fun with a decent group.

Ok you hate PS, I was talking the amount of overlapping button bolt in live, PS felt good button wise…
pretty sure no pvp game fells good with high ping

We clearly think nothing alike.
You’re one of those who complain about button bloat.
PS felt incredibly barebones button wise.

If WoW was a 5 button game, I’d have quit 15 years ago.
I like WoW as it is right now, and if anything we could reduce some redundant buttons and CDs, but not devolve it to the brainless MOBA-style 5-button degeneracy that PS is.

That said, PS is still mildly fun, but it’s not the style of fun I look for when I play WoW.
I’d never play PS or any other BR/MOBA over WoW.

Clearly ! I didn’t say wow should be a 5 button game…white knight

I don’t blindly defend WoW.
I just like the current amount of buttons, even if it could be toned down a bit, so your assessment of me is wrong.

You should be playing LoL/Smite if you enjoyed PS, not WoW.

Again I didnt say I liked PS I said it felt better then live pvp both are azz

We have legion numbers of players yet pvp is past life support

Did you play with duos or trios?

You may feel PS is better because it’s way more balanced, when people have the same skills and latency, and you’re playing solo, so your competence alone decides the match.

By itself, no, it’s really not.
