TLDR: Should ony buff cool down be reduced or removed?
Anyone feel like they need to modernize the Ony head buff? I get the whole vanilla experience but I feel like with servers being gigantic now compared to what it used to be and the people who are playing Classic are generally all in it for the raiding end game now days, I feel like somethings like Ony buff needs some sort of reworking. At any given raid night theres like 6-7 raids going on and to have a 5? hour CD on Ony buff is pretty hefty with the amount of traffic raid gets now a days. Its almost impossible to get the head down without someone from either a Guild or a random pug dropping the head before you (especially with East Coast guilds playing on West Coast servers). Thoughts?

You can pop the head when it’s on cooldown, just won’t refresh the buff.
I know you can pop the head, but more so for the buff.
Why do we need the additional damage on content that’s already easy mode because 1.12 made it all much much much eaiser than it it was (was never hard)
Cause sometimes you just want to see how fast you can speed run content?
If you’re that serious you’re already split clearing ony which means you can block out upto 12 hours of head cooldowns per week, More some weeks.
Set up your head hand-ins so you can gurantee it 15 mins before your raid starts.
You can clear MC in under an hour with out any special buffs… You don’t even need BiS gear or “optimized” builds for that…
youre still missing the point but ok.
wait is something stoping you from speed running?
nothing stops anyone from speeding running it but every small thing helps.
Our server discord has timers for when its about to get dropped, you might have to log to keep the buff, but thats fine if your just collecting the buff and logging for raid.
MC and ony still take a half dece guild without world buffs a few hours, the ony buff is an extra source of power, they didnt balance the encounters with the idea people would try to run ever single raid with the buff.
Itd be nice for parses to go into very raid stacking worldbuffs, but lacking the ony buff isnt keeping anyone from going 11/11.

Frankly I think all timers- buffs, world bosses, valuable resources like black lotus- should be changed by the magnitude by which server caps were increased. If they were 3k in Vanilla, and 15k now- reduce the timer on those things to 1/5th.
To make such a large change as server caps without considering the consequences was extremely mindless of Blizz.
