My first 60 was a warrior, so when people complained about spell batching I didn’t think much of it. It didn’t seem to have that much of an impact on gameplay and I thought people were just being whiney.
However, my second 60 is a paladin and I have not been able to juke A SINGLE FREAKING INTERRUPT yet. Over and over again I stopcasting, see my opponent kick or counterspell or whatever… I think to myself “got ya sucker!” and then all my abilities go on cooldown anyway. Again and again and again.
I take back anything I may have said about spell batching not being a big deal. It is.
Yeah, there were a few of us against Vanilla Spell batching from the start. I tried linking the post from Celestalon explaining why it was awful and why they spent so much energy getting it to down to the level it is today in Modern WoW.
Now most of the people that were for batching seem to be against it. The only thing is, instead of admitting they were wrong, they’re claiming that Blizzard hasn’t correctly implemented it. Blizzard thinks they have it right, constantly claiming it’s wrong will not do us any good here.
People need to eat crow and ask nicely for Blizzard to abandon this awful system. Batching was changed for a good reason, it’s bad.
It is a bit too large of a window, honestly having some batching isn’t a big issue but having it feel like a full half a second after to still be effected is too extreme, it really needs to be like a 150-200ms kind of deal.
Intercepting a mage that just blinked and seeing that big ol’ yellow “IMMUNE” over their heads is a really great feeling.
It’s like you get rewarded for having Dad Gamer reflexes in Classic, because if you’d been a full second slower on that Intercept, you’d actually have gotten your stun off.
You are not exposed on the batch…It’s a bit laggy but you are not open for .4 seconds lol
Not even close
I have juked many cs’s. If i get a telegraph like a blink or at the end of a global i have well over a 50% success rate. That would never happen if it was on the batch.
Eating crow is a colloquial idiom, used in some English-speaking countries, that means humiliation by admitting having been proven wrong after taking a strong position.
