Removing Deepwind Gorge and Keeping Seething Shore

Deepwind does not require dh fc. You can get away with Guardian druid as well. Just like in Warsong and Twin Peaks, both fcs are viable just as in Deepwind. Guardian druids in Deepwind can spec into balance affinity and wild charge/flap off the cliff going literally about 1/4th of the map distance. People don’t like seething shore because of the RBG aspect of it, how long it takes, and that its basically 3 arena groups in one bg. If they made it so it was possible to get to each node from anywhere on the map in the time it takes for it to spawn that would be better. Maybe have 2 nodes at a time instead of 3. Maybe have the nodes spawn in definite spots in the beginning of the match so you don’t end up giving 2 up for free. Put invis walls above elevation advantages so that you get pushed off. The FC aspect of Deewpind has nothing to do with why they’d remove it over Seething in my opinion, that thought process seems obsolete.

Datamined 8.1.5 files were posted on MMO Champion.

These guys needed to gut something.

In legion you ran double dh because you will lose in every deep wind if you don’t, which is prime example of spec dependent maps. This is why people were furious back then, and furious now that it’s NOW getting removed, when it is not spec dependent.

Prime example of how they are so out of touch with the game, despite the player base providing feedback.

I like Seething Shore. My initial thoughts were that I would hate it, but unlike the other maps I feel like it has a lot more potential for kills than the other maps. I wish the nodes at the start weren’t random and that both ships had ample opportunity to land though before they spawned. Worst I’ve seen was 2 free nodes at the start of a match for the enemy team. We still won, but that’s not competitive play. I don’t play many RBGs anymore, so I didn’t know about DWG removal. DWG was only terrible when you had quad healer double vengeance at which point composition countered skill significantly.

Seething Shore is by FAR the worst battle this game has ever seen, please remove it or give back downvotes. Honestly id rather just leave the battle every time i get it, extremely dreadful to get. Randoms or RBG’s.
