Spell Sound Effect Updates

Community General Discussion

Are there sound effects in the game that drive you crazy? Have they ever updated only the sounds to a spell without the visuals? I really would like to see, well hear, some new spell sounds in some cases. Short list:

Ret Paladin - Blade of Justice, whichever spell that sounds like someone trying to use a saw as a musical instrument.

BM Hunter - Kill Command, gun auto attacks

Balance Druid - I don’t like the spells sounding like I accidentally bumped into some wind chimes

Monk - Fists of Fury, just really repetitive

I’m sure there’s more but those are the ones that are the worst for me. As an aside, it would be nice to have more voice actors, hearing the same person do several different NPCs takes away from immersion a bit.

It would be neat if there was a Glyph system for sound effects. But to actually change them Blizz would have to tread carefully. I still remember the uproar when the Gun-Shoot SFX was changed. Addons were even created to bring it back. I used them. Players can get attached to the distinctive sounds they are used to.

The sound effects of hitting something as a warrior when using a blunt weapon like a mace, sounds so bad to me.

Balance Druid sounds like I’m smacking someone with a bag of aluminum cans.
