I refuse to believe anyone who designed them actually plays melee.
Casters? Free damage for standing still. Cool, must be nice. Meanwhile, melee is dodging fire, cleaves, and knockbacks just to keep uptime.
Melee? enjoy your dogwater uptime, garbage buffs, and lower DPS than someone’s alt Fire Mage who rolled their face on the keyboard.
Rename this mode to Ranged Protocol.
Hard to believe anyone would play at all. They are all playing in SoD

The blue buff is actually pretty frustrating too. For trash you are just more or less useless as tanks follow the strategy of push W constantly to move forward. Thankfully a counter exists with that with them being able to do really good damage as red so the system functions on a group level. On bosses I agree bronze becomes frustrating. Unavoidable damage just hits you killing your haste stacks. Some things that knock you up, fear you, etc also happen that cucks over blue but its not as numerous as insane numbers of debuffs/floor glows, cleaves, and adds that run in that knock down bronze.
I think the problem with these buffs isn’t how they work but how they build. Yes, a losing of stacks happening matters in a kiss curse which these systems are. But blue has to sit around for like 10 seconds to get it first stack then it explodes up again and just getting out of 1 fire on the floor loses you like 2-3 stacks. Bronze just has a slow build up with an insanely fast fall off. The balance between the build up and fall off need to be more tightly aligned. Probably double the number of stacks each can get while reducing the amount you get per stack and greatly lower the time to get a stack. So each stack is less punishing when lost, it is gained faster, but not at such a large rate per tick up.
It has created a just stand in the fire mentality for blue and a omg get hit by nothing run around wildly for bronze hoping RNG doesn’t happen and something unavoidable doesn’t happen. Not great.
i mean when i geared my rogue i used the bronze buff to get 200% melee haste and topped the charts because i had infinite energy and could spam attacks

I don’t have any problems being top dps as melee. Have you tried not getting hit by mechanics?

Yeah rogues and frost DK’s do well. Enh shaman,Arms warrior don’t do as well
Fake news…
It’s quite easy actually. Use blue buff on most bosses and if a boss needs a lot of movement use bronze
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve been running them on my Ele sham with bronze buff and have been doing amazing! My ele sham only has a 362 gs (edit: it was lower than that on my last run since I got my first tier peice) and hasn’t had much trouble at all. If there are any changes to bronze it should be that it builds up a bit faster. My frost DK loses stacks more than my ele sham does.
To be fair, he said enhancement, not elemental
I mean he’s still wrong, but just clarifying lol
