Pretty much. Interrupts should be made baseline. Torghast makes this blatantly obvious as specs without reliable interrupts (Aff/Destro, most healers) have a horrible time in places like Coldheart or Soulforges.
If they want an interrupt talent - make the baseline interrupt like 30-60 seconds, and have the talent reduce it to the normal CD.
My nephew stayed with me for the summer a few years back and has a couple of toons on my account. He likes to raid sometimes. I don’t raid at all. The only raids I’ve ever done are legacy raids that I soloed.
I’m primarily a fisherman, archaeologist, and role-player. WQs are fun, too. I don’t like group content.
If you look, at least one of the DPS trees has that - they rolled the DK conduit into it - if you mind freeze successfully, gain runic power and reduce CD.
Separate from the actual interrupt talent. Which is funny cause what if a newbie chooses that power but not the interrupt lol
Yep. I even suggested in the CC Talent thread a while back that they include a “baseline” talent build for every spec, so new players can use it and be comfortable, and branch out as they learn their spec better, and existing players aren’t being overwhelmed with 100+ talents on 10.0 launch day.
Why level cap more than one character if that’s all you’re going to do? Hell, I WANT to do more, but my guildmates aren’t on as much as I am, and I refuse to PuG because of people like you. Let’s face it, you’re not an outlier. A LOT of people refuse to use interrupts. Even people I play with often. Can’t convince them otherwise. It’s like trying to convince people that they don’t need to undercut on the AH. You think they finally understand why they don’t need to, then they just say, “Oh well. I’ll undercut anyways.” Not even realizing they’re making the game worse for everyone.
I undercut something like 2 months ago - I think the Korthia crystals? By like 70% to try to ditch them, but didn’t want to destroy them - and the price tanked because people just listed it for under my price instead of buying mine and re-listing. Lol.
It’s off topic, but that’s a dumb thing to do, because if someone was in the market for a specific item, yours being listed last would put you at the top of the queue to sell anyway. You’re only shorting yourself and devaluing the market.
The current ones, to me, are great. Very few specs have an illusion of choice - most actually are a choice and have competitive options, with some outliers.
The big trees like DF and Vanilla just are filled with illusion of choice though.
Making interrupts into talents is a huge failure on the developers part.
Not a great sign for the future of WoW if they don’t understand how bad that type of decision could go.
Then again they did ask if players wanted more customization shortly after the DF announcement so they are pretty out of touch all the time.
I think the coming trees will be great for leveling characters.
I think I agree about interrupts being baseline but I also think people should be free to make “bad” builds or even forgo utility for DPS if they want to. The only issue I see here is that the average WoW player has no idea what the value of utility is and they place a lot of value on “number go up”.
Imagine starting a M+ run and then finding out that none of the DPS has an interrupt because it’s optional now … it’s going to be an absolute disaster if they don’t change this.
