So, I watched the new hearthstone trailer

[Bubbliess-faerlina]

If only they could still good storylines.

[Khileeha-sargeras (Khileeha)]

I still can’t find anyone that can explain Shadowlands to me.

Me: So, when souls die, they basically go to the dump/shadowlands to be burned as fuel?

Lore person: Ya pretty much.

Me: So how is that a cycle? Shadowlands only powers itself and it’s not like souls come back from the dead or the power is used to make new souls for the life side.

Lore person: Ya calling it a cycle was dumb.

nobody can touch Blizzard on polish.

Excuse me? Tell that to my guild where it says they’re on OTHER SERVERS even if they’re not, it says they’re not online at all even if they are, and the UI is screwy as hell. “Blizzard polish” is a thing that died in 2016. This is 2022. Wake up.

kinda off topic: did she just use holy shock?

It looked like judgment with glyph of fire from the heavens to me, but yeah holy shock having a trail like that would be amazing

I thought it was Exorcism myself.
Watching it again, I’m pretty sure you can hear the Exorcism sound effects though it’s pretty quiet and hard to discern with the music.

@Khileeha-sargeras

Liadrin uses wings to leap slash at Arthas. Why do they keep doing this? If summoning a horse out of nowhere for a split second of movement would be lame in a cutscene. Why is that what you give us in wow for our gameplay?

If Blizz actually implemented all the things that Paladin NPCs have done or are depicted as doing in cutscenes over the years, the class might actually feel good to play. Can’t risk that…

[Kylt-kelthuzad]

My guy, Tirion, who bequethed to us the title of Ashbringer, literally burst out of a block of ice and then took a leaping strike at Frostmorne, shattering it. It’s literally the climax of WoTLK. Even within the game it’s been a thing that has happened.

[Snowcrest-cenarius]

@Reith-stormrage

Offline mode

@Reith-stormrage

the UI is screwy as hell.

It is, at least at first, but doesn’t take long to get used to. Change was needed.

[Ashric-moon-guard]

I see the point you’re making, yes.

Unfortunately, it’s not a very good point.

[Reith-stormrage]

@Snowcrest-cenarius

Offline mode

No, lmao. They’re not even in offline mode. Obviously I wouldn’t even say they were offline if they’re not if they were in offline mode. Stop trying to gaslight people, double digit IQ.

To be fair they did give us the ‘bursting out of a block of ice’ part with the Ashbringer trait in Legion that broke cc.

[Kylt-kelthuzad]

That was legit pretty cool. Just wish they don’t make it procc on CC you couldn’t break.

Now if they could give us abilities thematic to the class like that, we’d be styling.

[Reith-stormrage]

We’d be styling with an AOE Word of Glory. Remember when we had that? I’ve been looking back at how much cool stuff we used to have. Greater Judgment helped us not completely suck at 2-3 targets! Remember that? Divine Intervention as a Cheat Death was really useful and it also reduced the cooldown of DS to 4 minutes. Endless Resolve made Forbearance 20 seconds. Wake of Ashes generated 5 Holy Power. You didn’t even need to talent into Tempest, it was in Ashbringer’s tree. Stamina +10% for free, and we had multiple raid Blessings, as well as spreading of Judgment. Retribution is such a joke now.

[Indoril-turalyon]

Off-topic but I’m a bit relieved that it’s not only me having the issue, I don’t think I’ve seen much talk about it. My Druid & Priest are still on their original realms when I type in guild chat, yet I’ve been on Turalyon for about a year or so.

[Eviaeline-area-52]

Maybe i am misremembering or have heard incorrect info, but wasn’t Heroic Leap originally a Paladin ability in Cata alpha/indev?

[Silpher-area-52]

Maybe? I know that in legion there was a plan to give us turelyons leap, but that fell through.

[Khileeha-sargeras (Khileeha)]

I feel Falling Sword is the best one we could get. Disappears then slam down a sec later or something like demon hunter jump up in the air then slam down. Call it Heaven’s Fall if you don’t want us to disappear and become immune but the tradeoff is that we are rooted for a sec when we go up. (Forbearance if we actually become immune.)

Would make it unique and still give us instant movement. Give it a longer cooldown so it’s not our main movement. Give it utility like a root slow or stun when landing even if its talented or could make explode with consecration on landing.

Yeah it is really odd. It’s only happened to my guild in particular since very recently, and it is REALLY a major bummer when you’re trying to see who is online and who isn’t, because you don’t even know if they don’t say anything in the guild chat.

@Khileeha-sargeras

So like Dragoon on FF14, basically.

[Khileeha-sargeras (Khileeha)]

Could be but don’t care what else has it just want one because we need instant movement ability. Every other melee has one.

[Renae-stormrage]

Judgment CD is too long and when you have nothing to Judge you are especially slow.

True lol. It could look something like this except more Paladiny:

FFXIV - Dragoon Jumps

@Renae-stormrage

Yeah fair. It was actually probably fine the way they had it implemented in the talent tree in alpha though when we also have Divine Steed to fall back on. 20% for 2 seconds is pretty damn tame lol.
