How do you guys like the current combat system?

I’ve been messing around on other games and the first thing I noticed was a difference in the combat system.

I’m just curious as to what everyone thinks about the current iteration of WoW combat, what could be improved, do you like vanilla’s better etc?

I don’t play at a high level, and my UI sucks. I think it’s alright.

out of all the mmos ive tried, WoW has the best combat

For the most part I really like it. I’ve yet to find anyone who does it better.

I like the wow combat system

Combat as a whole is great.

Vehicle combat on the other hand… :laughing:

It is fine, people just got spoiled when they keep adding more and more exceptions over the years to the global cooldown. I wouldn’t mind having more chained abilities. One of the things I really enjoyed about Aion is they had complex attack chains and if you could pull off the entire chain you were rewarded.

WoW has a pretty good combat system and I don’t really want anything to be changed. I think I’d like GW2s combat system more though if there wasn’t that weapon swapping aspect

Wow has the best combat of any game i’ve played and its the only reason i don’t hard commit to other games until an equivalent combat system comes around

Absolutely not. Vanilla is an auto attacking snoozfest. Only thing redeemable for me was seal twisting until out of mana and then it sucked

Yeah, it feels super nice.

I’ve never liked WoWs combat. Tab targeting has never been good in any game. Wish we had a more fluid action combat style.

the only other mmo ive played is FF and wow’s combat system is heads and tails better than the :dog: :poop: combat system ff has

Prefer World of Warcrafts combat style tbh when it comes to MMOs only real problem is healing style to actually perform well you need to either use thing like mouse over macros or addons like VuhDo

This and TERA imo.
XIV combat is trash.

WoWs combat is the best compared to every mmo I’ve tried.

Only complaint I’ll have is the way to target other mobs. In trash packs it’s a pain in the backside sometimes, and I’d be lying if I said I never pulled the trash pack in front of our group in a decently high mythic plus key with shadow word pain.

Other than that, it’s great

i think the combat is the best part of wow at this point

It’s good. I think it’s unfortunate all classes pretty much have an identical toolkit, but regardless WoW has top-tier combat design.

It’s hard to multi-dot and keep track of dots in the default UI though. I always have to use WeakAuras or another add-on to properly play muti-dotters.

It’s good! it’s snappy, quick, fast paced and they did a good job at making the classes have a rotation that flows and feels good for the player. Esp when you have each class having 3 specs and each spec working very well and feel unique.

I feel as though they can improve the BOSS encounters to feel more CINEMATIC and EPIC but when it comes to combat I like it alot. The Encounters are good, but they’re dated. Back in the day going into Molten Core was ground breaking. If WoW can get that throne back then it’d be great.

I’ve played other MMO’s and while some MMO’s have great combat systems or great boss/raids encounters there always seems to be a trade off.

For example FFXIV has great bosses and decent combat rotation and " combos " ( its essentially just hitting procs and smashing the glowing button ) but then you look at their PVP and it’s atrocious and alot of that has to do with balancing and how their combat works.

Nothing captures WoW’s fluidity in both PVE and PVP but we are tab targettiing MMO so keep that in mind that it has its limitations.

Not really about combat but I do wish we had more unique toolkits lol.

I think WoW’s combat could be more like Faeria. I really like how you get to build lands and then deploy your deck of cards.
