Why would they nerf these items? The use of all of these items like Flame Wrath and that disc shield that breaks quickly were used in archived videos during BC to do AoE pulls like this. Same idea with mages in 2007 using flamestrike to bypass the aoe cap.
Are they gonna go after the scarab that shields people on heals or the very low druid helm that has the insane skill on it also???
Either they nerf all the level 60 and under items or keep them all the same. It is really bad to selectively destroy pieces of history of some low level items but keep other low level items.
thats possibly the worst skullflame shield video ever made.
if youre testing it in rfc where you 100% mitigate all of the mobs damage on a block, of course sfs isnt going to proc and is going to look like a bad item
Did you watch the whole thing? He covers just that very thing and progressively goes into higher higher instances to show the results. No, looks like you watch the first 1-2 min. and left.
Oh look at this, all the 58 pro-boosters are heavily interested in pally AoE boosting, what a surprise ! What happened to âthe 58 boostâ being the solution/justification to mage AoE levelling ? Maybe its only you lot. Bunch of hypocrites.
Presumably, they are doing what they SHOULD have done in classic vanilla. âNo changesâ should absolutely be adhered to, when it comes to fundamental changes like no LFG queue, and no dual spec. Those are core pieces of what made the game.
Anyone who is honest with themselves however, would know how the original devs would have responded to things like mage aoe farms (that almost all exploit pathfinding bugs), the people exploiting those bugs would have ate bans, and the bugs closed. But they took a way too literal âNo changesâ and just let that fester, and ruin the game.
Locking out changes that would alter the spirit of the game =/= providing bug fixes and number tweaks when it was obviously not intended.
Edit: As an aside, itâs pretty hilarious seeing people desperate to offload these items that they probably snatched up in the hopes of flipping them. Lots of people are losing their rear on now worthless items.
Private servers got the scaling wrong, so these items had a reputation from there. The ânerfâ is bringing them in line with how they actually worked in TBC.
Some would consider TBC to be an abomination of Vanilla as it broke down many of the social systems and gameplay that existed. So unless youâd like to poll all users that ever played, it really depends on who you ask and their perspective. Else, folks would have only remade 1 version on private servers, so itâs player preference at this point.
