Ever since Legion, Blizzard has been on a crusade to get rid of all of the spell sound effects from the early days of WoW. While there are indeed a few spells that… didn’t sound the best, perhaps, MOST of Blizzard’s changes have been… well, negative.
Shadow Priests, Retribution Paladins, Death Knights, Shamans… they have all had EXTENSIVE sound effect changes. And the result? The spells have no “umph” to them. They don’t feel satisfying to chain. Retribution in particular sounds like… a hammer hitting a trash can. Unholy DK sounds like a violent rush of wind. Shadow Priests are just whispers…
Please, for the love of all that is (un)holy, give us back glyphs for the ORIGINAL spell sound effects!
