Like seriously Blizzard.
Just scrap this whole system, absolutely nobody wants this garbage so stop giving dev time to trying to fix it.

The alternative is having the expectation of changing conduits between every major fight etc.
No thanks.
Conduit energy serves a purpose. Blizzard will never get rid of it, they will however move towards making it easier to use so folks arenât feeling âpunishedâ by the system.
Ultimately this is how game dev works across most games. Blizzard devs want A, players want B, so the devs implement A and slowly move the design closer to B over time, but never quite get to B.

To have this opinion shows you are completely void of any relevant knowledge of how this raid works lol

They really built up the conduits to minimize player ability to play in different ways. Iâm honestly impressed that they are even going as far as having ways to regenerate it faster.
It would be fantastic if they let people switch them out more, but I sadly donât see it happening. The whole of the expansion is trying to minimize the ability to try out different ways to play on any given character.

Itâs completely wild that theyâd make a system as aggressive as the maw not having a mount for months to squeeze out players time then also make a system which punishes you for wanting to experiment with new content.
Like there is a very easy way to make people want to experiment Blizzard without punishing them like the Maw, again.

Oh, I know exactly how raiding works. Just because your raid doesnât engage in this type of garbage doesnât mean it isnât happening. Iâve personally seen it even with conduit energy being the way it is, and Iâve left raids because the raid leader has demanded conduit swapping.
Woha thatâs so useless lmao

Whatâs conduit energy?

Already have to head out and switch talents when going from a patchwork to a cleave fight.
And really the conduits arenât that impactful between the two for me.
And of all the things in the game, it makes the least sense to have any barriers to change conduits. Itâs your soulbind, a helper person.
âhey helper person, switch to this set upâ

Short answer: Itâs a system that prevents you from swapping out your conduits too quickly. You have 10 energy when you get to level 60. Each day you get some energy that youâve spent back meaning that if you swap too many times, youâll find yourself unable to swap for a while.
Some people hate it, other people see that it has a purpose. Most of the time the people who have differing opinions donât get along.

The only people that defend conduit energy are people that are too busy role playing on Moon Guard or Wyrmrest Accord to actually play the game to see why conduit energy is such a trash system.

So⌠How is that a good thing? If it wasnât penalizing, you would have been able to switch to a conduit that benefitted the content you were doing, then switch to something else.
Absolutely. The maw is boring as sin, though, I think that the conduits and tying player power to the covenants is worse. I am honestly dreading the covenant specific legendaries next patch, which will undoubtedly make divides between the stronger and weaker covenants much worse. Itâs baffling that they enjoy a system that restricts player choice so much.

Conduit Energy : Exists.
Literally everyone aware of its existence : Why tho?

Blizzard is blatantly stubborn just for the sake of being stubborn. Doesnât matter if 99.9% of players hate something. Doesnât matter if itâs completely pointless. Doesnât matter if it adds absolutely nothing to the game or playersâ enjoyment.
Some lead dev thought it up, itâs staying. Deal with it.
Itâs this bizarre disdain that Blizzard has for their own paying customers that will eventually kill the game. Fun be damned.

If you get pressured into doing something you dont want, 1. Get new friends, 2. Learn to tell yourself no.

Oh thank god, its been 40 seconds since the last âconduit energy is badâ thread and i was seriously starting to wonder if everyone forgot to complain about it today!

Whom would this actually be a thing for?
My conduits are such complete and utter garbage that Iâm gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel just to fill up the new slots with the expanded tree in 9.1.
The people that conduit energy hurts are people who play multiple specs. That means fewer people switching to tanking and healing. Thatâs bad. For everyone. The system should be dropped.

As they should. Players should constantly and consistently bring up bad systems again and again until it gets fixed.
