I knew someone was going to say that but you did it in record time. :wink:

Soul Flame was nice for throwing something on a low mob and watching them go up in flames. Sadly its potential pretty much flagged it for permanent removal, it was such a satisfying passive.

Yeah but it reminds me of the old combo of Dark Soul and Seed of Corruption. Things go boom then everyone gets corruption. That was satisfying.

It would be cool f the changes for one-haded or two-handed options include Warriors. Fury in particular could be amazing if we could use 2 one handed weapons, as in CATA wehere that option were still avaible

everyone who even alts a warrior needs to blow up the alpha/beta forums asking for this.

Increase the damage, call it Infinite Stars and people will scream about how OP it is :wink:

I guess you never played Affliction in a raid setting. It doesnā€™t last long. 2.5 sec castā€¦ detonates in 12 sec to apply a weak dot. Not even worth using.

also, it would be cool if shadowlands somehow manages to make the wands for caster useful again.

iā€™d be down for the relic slot coming back, after playing classic.

modifiers exist.
Q is one thing.
holding shift and pressing Q is another thing.
same story with ctrl, and alt.
and nobody should be using a mouse that doesnt have at least 2 buttons for the thumb.
people managed with far more in prior expansions.
if someone is actually overwhelmed with the amount of keybinds in 2020 world of warcraft all it really means is, you probably wont get gladiator in arena. thats about it.

Agreed, would really like to see Single Minded Fury see a return. Give more of that swords master feel rather than the hulk smash with big weapons.

Nah these ā€œchangesā€ suck. I wonā€™t be back. Screw Blizz for fooling me into pre-ordering again :rage:

Lot of people wondering why Fury canā€™t have SMF back - While I would love for it to come back, going from two 1H to two 2H isnā€™t quite as simple as going from two 1H to one 2H. Theyā€™d have to add in a passive that makes dual 1Hā€™s desirable and on equal footing to dual 2Hā€™s. Not saying they canā€™t - I hope they do. But keep that in mind.

I realize itā€™s in alpha phase right now, but as a frost mage and shadow priest Iā€™m looking for viability not ā€œflavor.ā€ Some of it is interesting but thatā€™s about it. Weā€™ll see if you folks nerf hammer frost mages and shadow priests again

I must say, this is one of the best things to come out of Blizzard in a while. It seems we are returning to the old school bag of spells and abilities. Reading through all this has made me beyond hopeful for Shadowlands.

BTW those druid changes are insane.

Dude, they will nerf whatever shows signs of being fun and effective. No sense wondering. It will happen.

Itā€™s not that simple, there are a lot of the fury abilitys that you canā€™t use while using one-handers, and there was a passive in Cata that buff the one handers like 10% or 5% to make them usable

I donā€™t know, I feel some have seen some really good returns. Although personally it feels the classes thst I want to play again are the ones that donā€™t seem to be receiving the changes I want.

Like Paladins in particular, Iā€™ve had my Paladin since TBC release (had a different Paladin prior in Vanilla) and Legion honestly killed the class for me as far as Ret is concerned. Yet none of these changes seem to fix the issues it has, if anything they just cement it into how the class plays in BfA which honestly is a travesty.

they seem to want to make legion pallies happy while saying ā€œlololol git gudā€ to those of us that have played one since the beginning. iā€™d rather play pally but with what weā€™re getting? thereā€™s no way.
