why can’t you guys check the bug feedback forum? you guys put on a fix to gladiator stance now being at the end of the stance bar and forgot that sweeping strikes and retaliation are still not usable while in gladiator stance.

372

Please make decay proc on the application of dots

374

Is it intentional that the Decay and Torment card do not proc of DoTs?

375

Please fix Main Gauche. Please. I love rogue tanking and I want to use the “tanking” runes. Please Blizzard devs. Rogue tanks everywhere are seriously begging you. Please help that rune be useful.

I’m not sure if the Felguard having a name only counts for warlocks that haven’t summoned the Felguard before, cause as of the 11th my lock still has the name Felguard. No clue if the fix hasn’t gone out or if this is an oversight.

When are we getting fixes to Elemental shamans? are you going to pretend elemental shamans didnt went down to the bottom of the dps charts? Rolling thunder has too low chance and many fights have too many damage sources that reduce the lightning shield charges making the rune almost non existent since you will be lucky to use 3 or 4 earth shocks with 9 charges in a boss… not to mention the stupid decision of mental dexterity 10s duration making it mandatory for elementals to be at melee to scratch 100more dps in the meters, revert it to 1min duration so we dont have to be doing melee swings to be getting it all the time at least to help us do a bit more damage since Burn rune is useless for most bosses.

378

Sweet, felguard names :roll_eyes:, its still gets out damaged by a succubus… Which is insane.

Weakest felguard in any iteration of wow.

Hey Kaivax,

Any chance that the devs could make the Runecloth Bag recipe unlimited?

380

When a single player drops down the npc despawn. Is this a bug? I have tried many many times but as soon as I jump down (as the only player jumping into the room) it despawns

381

This is actually ludicrous, not only are you providing a new consumable you are intending to be a potion. YOU ARE MAKING A POTION A UNIQUE ITEM. Like… what? THERE IS 0 LOGIC HERE. You are just hurting the players… basically for the sake of hurting players. You aren’t limiting them for any good reason, they don’t persist through death to justify the cost. This is the kind of crap that makes people leave games ffs. DO BETTER

“I’ve been thinking about this myself a lot, tbh. I dont think it was ever really the intent for SoM to be the only way to play and long term I’d like it if SoC/DS was more on-par with it. I do think we need to be realistic though that there will always be a numerically best, and whatever that best is, even if the gap is very narrow, it will be presented by the community as the “only” way to play.

There’s a lot of that going on in WoW right now, even though every dps class has multiple perfectly functional playstyles (and a few playstyles that haven’t been really tapped into yet); the “best build” tends to be viewed as the “only build” even if most reasonable people know that just isn’t true with how the content has been tuned so far.”

-Aggrend via X / Twitter

So I interpret this as….some runes/specs are horrible. Deal with it.

As a rogue, I guess we’ll be spamming Mutilate unless we wanna do mediocre damage.

did blade of eternal darkness drop rate actually get buffed or not

385

My question is are we able to talk to him now if we jump down to the room in BRD?

386

Should have just left it as is at this point. This is just going to annoy the people (like me) who have passed on taking this item.

387

This does not help for the fact that I have almost 5k health un buffed and get literally deleted in open world and bgs from other faction casters. I cannot even be off healed enough with how much is nuked on me as a warrior. This is comical XD

Maybe you could increase the spawn rate of nightmare resonating bloom, add more nightmare resonating bloom, and put nightmare resonating bloom in all incursion zones?

Wouldn’t this be on par with giving away all the other things being farmed by the 1000s?
