I don’t know the history of this mechanic but I would think Blizzard would so all I have to say is if this was in vanilla in some form then it should stay in classic. If it wasn’t then remove it. Whatever it was in vanilla is what I want in Classic, the good as well as the bad. That’s it. It’s as simple as that to me and it should be as simple as that to the classic dev team.

The mechanic litterally gives leeway on your range. Its litterally a perfect discription besides maybe being called “melee ranged leeway mechanic”

This is so cringe it hurts. Head on back to your discord server.

DEAR GOD THAT’S BROKEN AS HELL!

And no, that’s not Authentic Vanilla at all, not even slightly close.

If anything, in vanilla you lost range on your melee attacks when moving LOL, it would have been factually the reverse of this “Leeway” garbage.

Leeway was a MoP thing. Dead zones didn’t change until 2.3 with Hunters being the first class to have them removed.

Google is your friend.

While that is an insane distance, he can be struck at that same distance :wink:

I just realized that this “leeway” mechanic in addition to spell batching could actually add however many yards to my stutter step LOL!!!

So broken.

deadzone was the 2yd area in which you couldnt melee and you couldnt shoot/charge/intercept.

deadzone was more than 5 yds, less than 8 yds.

if leeway was a thing in vanilla, deadzone wouldnt even be a topic that was ever discussed.

it definitly wasnt in vanilla.

Interesting you had to say “leeway on your range”

Kinda how we don’t refer to it as “Batching”, we refer to it as “Spell Batching”. So why not “Range Leeway”? Ah, because the people who came up with it didn’t think and now we’re stuck with a dumb word that is so vague it’s hard to rally behind.

Because when people do stupid things, it’s stupid. It’s that simple. Don’t do stupid things and people won’t derail threads asking what the heck you’re talking about – as has been done plenty of times by several people in this thread. If you wanted a focused discussion on the topic at hand, you’d have picked a reasonable term. :man_shrugging:
