Petition: Raid Buffs

Make all world buffs into a single all encompassing 2h last through death raid buff or get rid of them working in raids. This is sod not classic, running everywhere each week just to get fully buffed is ridiculous. I had to do it in vanilla, hated it, had to do it in classic, hated it, now i have to do it again in SoD, still hate it.

This means making all of the following into 1 buff obtainable by ony head or something:
Rallying Cry
Warchief’s
Songflower
DMT Buffs
DMF Buff

Ony and Rend = You afk in org
Songflower = You afk on top of a flower
DMT = 10 min run in a dungeon
The only annoying one to get is DMF if it’s on alliance side and you’re horde, everything else is 30 mins of work. Even DMF you can just save from last week and boon it and you’ll still have enough for a second raid. Stop being lazy, and if you ARE lazy just do the bare minimum.
Play the game.

As i said, i played that game in vanilla it sucked, i played it again in classic, still sucked, now having to do it again in sod it still sucks. Ony/rend are easy, the rest are a chore, this isnt classic if you want that game there are servers for it. If you actually enjoy doing them every week you are either dumb or a masochist.

No, getting the buffs is part of the fun of WOW

Or, don’t get them if you want, they aren’t a requirement

Just wait til ZG comes out and you need that buff too :wink:

We had a priest have the same set of buffs for 2-3 weeks before she died on shaz. Just boon between bosses and don’t die?

Completely forgot about zg, and then whatever bwl/aq/naxx buffs they decide to add.

Fun of wow?, I dont find it fun nor do many others. Who hurt you? do you need help?

That could be kinda cool, but it should be a [Gnomish Super-Ultra Megaton ChronoBoom Amplifier] item with a hefty (say, 250G) pricetag.

but it cannot work in BGs

Getting Songflower is literally you flying for 2 minutes to Felwood, walking two steps forward, waiting a couple minutes for it and then clicking.
Getting DMT is literally you getting summoned to a dungeon, walking in and clicking a couple npcs and out which all takes 10 minutes max.
ZG will be you getting a summon to booty bay and afking there.
I fail to see where ANY of this is a chore. You’re just THAT lazy and there’s nothing else to it. We’re talking 30 minutes of work weekly which is NOTHING.
The ONLY argument that I’m willing to accept is relating to DMF because that one IS a chore to get especially if you’re horde. and EVEN then, you can just save one booned and use it next raid. Or just don’t get the buff and save your parse week for when it’s in mulgore.

You also grey and green parse so I’m not sure if those buffs are working out much for ya anyways champ. Hope you at least have fun though!! :people_hugging:

How about we just delete world buffs from raids so the devs can actually balance the raids around intended power level of the players?

You do not need world buffs so don’t get them if its such a big deal lol. :people_hugging:

they balance around the intended power level for everyone except warrior, which is balanced around world buffs+windfury

which is a more special case than you would admit.

warriors scale the best in the game on stats .

it is even more magnified than other classes quite a bit.

what would you have them do?

let them massively outscale everyone with the world buff and be even without?

i dont know if you know what youre leaning towards or not.

They could fix the parts of the class that aren’t involved in raiding so that the class is playable outside of the 2-3 hours a week we’re buffed to the nines and having a completely different player provide a buff that is worth thousands of dps on it’s own. Mortal strike hits for like 500 in pvp rn on boomies. It’s a joke dude. The alternative is play prot with glad stance and you’re still useless against everything that isn’t melee.

ya that would be an option if they dug into the class enough to make it function that way.

but the current choice is to either have them massively outscale everyone with world buffs or make them low to everyone without.

the way its currently designed there is no wiggle room.

looking back they couldve designed without the flat % damage boosts they gave and maked more flavor choices like heroic leap or some other non damage thing and then boosted something on the backend .

nobody wants rage normaliztion but it would effectively do what youre asking for.

but bleh i dont think it would be right to do that either.

rage normalization doesn’t fix our abilities not doing damage and only further gimps the class in the long run. also pay attention, not even talking about pve.

our runes are uninspired and even the fun stuff they gave us like meathook isn’t allowed to shine out of this misplaced fear of what warriors might do. (meathook makes the pulled player immune to cc for like 1-2 seconds) but they have no issue with making every hybrid an absolute monster to deal with in pvp by merging +healing and +spell damage and increasing it’s availability across the board.

we have the utility to actually stick to a target (one of our biggest weaknesses is solved, yay) but we have no survivability still (could switch victory rush to impending victory) and it takes multiple rotations of abilities to match up to the insane burst potential other classes have. we’re designed around having windfury to the point it’s affecting our potential everywhere. at that point why do they not just give warriors windfury?

Both of those suggestions massively improve warrior quality of life in the first place and don’t affect our raid scaling. They do improve our pvp potential but arms is so far down in the gutter right now I’m not sure those 2 changes would even fix it. The damage we do is laughable outside of beating up on people in greens.

Oh god please no taking out the risk of dying would be so lame :sweat:

Anyways it takes 30 minutes to get world buffs and you use em for 2 weeks straight without dying whats the issue :slight_smile:
