If you disagree with me just move on, but I really really don’t think making stampede baseline is a good thing, unless it gets drastically changed. The only way it would follow along with the new ideology is if they made the radius like 30 yards, because yes its a super cool skill and lore wise is awesome for the BM class fantasy, but its literally the opposite of how they are wanting to change the gameplay and make it more enjoyable. I think the biggest issue is just that its extremely not pug friendly, because the tank has to play around you or else you just lose half your damage. If you have a tank that you know who knows not to move, then its serviceable sure, but if we are gutting all the classes to make them easier to play, don’t leave something like this in the game.
I was super excited reading through all the hunter class changes and all the blue posts about WoW’s change of direction, which is odd for me because I’m often cynical about those things in general, and I almost missed the line about stampede/lead from the front change, but when I read it my heart just dropped because I was so happy to be getting away from the positional nonsense thats been required of us.
