We joke somewhat, but I can see it happening. If Paladins get two-way twisting. The Hunters are going to blow up the forums asking for a special change to reinstate the 1-button macro that was broken by the spell batching changes.
And behind them is going to be a long line of other classes wanting their own “Special” change.

Smeet is not a troll, he just has uni-directional thinking.

But twisting was never removed. Theirs was.
Yeah the difference is that blizzard didn’t say in a post that they wanted to keep those quirks right?

Precisely, the naysayers have nothing behind their naysaying other than jealousy and also literally just having learned about dual twisting from this thread mostly

Only because the issue has not been specifically brought up yet. I’m saying once this precedent it set. You can be sure others are going to capitalize on it.
Great!! #somechanges 8)

Oh absolutely people will post. But for most people, keeping bidirectional seal twisting helps their raid or dungeon group. If we stop looking at it like spec identity politics I think we’ll all be a little bit less stressed out
I hope we end with twisting both ways. I also hope they allows paladins to use two-handed maces.

That is how it worked in TBC.

smeet is not bi-twistual. very old fashioned.
+1 for bi directional twisting it has to happen, It makes no sense for only SoR and SoC to have the .5 sec delay.
But I guess we won’t have an answer cuz the new Activision Blizzard doesn’t allow devs to communicate with the playerbase. It’s ridiculous how communication has been non existent in the last few years. I have been following the development of TBC classic and D2R since Blizzcon and the forums are just radio silence, the only blue posts are to commuicate about public stuff. No wonder old employees are leaving every month to companies like Dreamhaven.

Well, the mechanic they are trying to copy wasn’t straightforward, and also only worked on certain seals in certain directions.
Adjusting it to work bidirectionally would be a significant paladin buff, in addition to changing gearing priorities and our rotation. You can argue that it’s all for the better in your point of view, but it isn’t something the devs are looking to do with any class in tbc.

Thank you for mentioning this. I keep saying if this happens there could be broader implications like overall class balance and gear itemization that could be impacted. This cannot be looked at through the narrow view of what it does to help pallies. You have to step back and consider that such a change could have much broader impacts that could lead to massive balance problems.

Literal BS. We ran the sheets ad nauseum and sure we stop taking haste after a certain point but that’s literally all that happens. Stop aggrandizing your zero effort what-ifs

Thelawgiverr’s interpretation is 100% accurate. I tested this when the relevant PTR dropped. It worked across all seals. It even worked between different ranks of the same seals. It 100% matched the blue post Lawgiverr mentions. The change came without warning and without comment. To add insult to injury, a few months later they pop it in the live client with the same verbiage, but with the terrible restrictions on the seals. Again, without saying anything.
A few notes on Smeet’s comments. One video of high DPS doesn’t matter. Especially with an RNG spec. It’s like watching a PVP highlight video and thinking you will always crit.
Smeet is misleading when he says Lawgiverr wasn’t correct about seals working as intended. He misled by making it sound like Lawgiverr was talking about them working in vanilla TBC. He was not.
As for everything else Smeet said. Blizzard is clearly changing the game to match the wishes of the community. They know full well that the majority of us want changes. The nochanges crowd gets smaller every day. We need to focus on making the game better.
There is an additional benefit to proper two way seal twisting. When the scores of paladins who think they’re gonna be tanks realizes that they’ve flooded the market they’ll have a valuable spec to fall back on. Half of them are gonna realize they never wanted the responsibility of being a tank anyway.
Lastly,
I think it’s pretty clear we should trust a paladin name Thelawgiverr over one named Smeet.
