Season of Discovery Hotfixes - September 11

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
502

Dps were casually pulling off of me and I had to taunt 2-3 times during the fight. Tanks shouldn’t have to taunt on single target. So yes, I’m “whining”.

Lol, judging from your profile, all you do is b!tch at people on the forums. Super constructive. :+1:t2:

503

Have you considered that maybe you’re just bad? If you’re not able to hold threat your raid would be better served by you playing a different role. The player fits to the game, not the game fitting to the player. Get some perspective.

504

Threat is a thing DPS have to watch in Vanilla, this is not like on retail or Cata where tanks does so much threat that it doesn’t matter anymore.

505

Guildie posted a picture. It’s fixed.

506

Yep! Hallelujah

Any chance upon completing T0.5 fully on a character that all of our alts can have access to Mokvar/Deliana to purchase the items without needing to to T0.5 again?

Would be a nice quality of life because I’m dreading (even with all of the great changes) of doing it for a third time.

509

The “fix” to priests using Juju Might is currently bleeding over to Era servers. This mechanic has been in the game since pre-Era.

I just wanna know. What were the devs smoking when they thought that having the SoD raids be based on the SoM raids and not Classic 2019?

Because I can use that right now as my guild just died after going from 2 full 20 player teams to only 8 people now interested in continue raiding in less than 6 hours.

513

It has to be discovered, duh.

514

Eh, if that’s what caused them to leave, they did the rest of the community a favor tbh. If you want basic raids, go to era.

Season of Discovery

  • Players who have the 18-slot version of the Bottomless Bag may now exchange the bag or the Pattern for the 20-slot version at Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay.

What an actual clown show to leave Boomkins this low dps for all of SOD’s 4 phases. You can obviously see with logs how completely none competitive with top specs they are. Are boomkins just SOL and you guys don’t care? We are talking like 50-70% behind the top. This is with no ZG buff and epic melee weapons. The gap will only grow to past 100% Would like confirmation at least.

517

Still nothing about hyper respawning core hounds. Comedy Blizz…

This should mean Frost Trap shoud now work with launcher again now. Also Hunter is getting hard with nerfs, not complaining about that. But shamman nerf when?

520

I’m all for this change. I agree it was really BS in PvP. I’m just glad that the devs are finally learning. They’ve been screwing over hunters since Phase 1 with all the nerfs caused by PvP complaints, which in turn affected us in PvE as well. I’m just glad they realized they can actually target nerfs towards the PvP side of things, something they’ve been doing in retail for over a decade lmfao.

And I agree, now that we’ve got a DR on entrapment, they should be giving us our trap launcher back for frost traps.

Please buff rogue tank threat. Without Alpha or Salv, threat is super sketchy.
