Season three power word solace removed from the game to simplify disc rotation… you never had to even use solace you could choose to simplify the discipline rotation by speccing into shield discipline.
Adding more options and a more complex talent tree was one of the best changes in dragonflight. The goal should be for multiple pathways in the talent trees to be good.
Feel the same about the removal of rogues marked for death. The rogue class talent tree is awkward now because if youre a sub rogue using cheat for death you have to spec into double feint to get shadow dance. That is an actual bad design.
Also node maps on solo shuffle rbgs are god awful. Blizzard didnt need to reinvent the wheel for solo q rbgs. They were fine how they are.
They need to just remove talent trees, give each class/spec a specific set of tools and abilities and let that be the end of it. All the whine babies would get over it.
Solace was a useless spell. It did virtually no damage and didn’t give enough mana to be worth using a talent point on. The only thing it was useful for was to stack up Harsh Discipline, which no longer works that way, rendering the spell utterly useless in every aspect.
There’s a difference between dumbing down a spec and trimming fat that doesn’t need to be there.
I like that there are options to have more clickable buttons for those who like having them, but I really don’t love how many of the options are mandatory. As in, you literally cannot get to the next tier of talents without picking several active buttons. Arcane Mage in particular has this problem early on.
I want as few active buttons as possible in my spec, but I feel forced to take too many of them. Talent trees are amazing and I love them, but I want more passive options and ways to avoid pressing 12 buttons.
God no, keep that crap in ff14 please, it’s part of why that game has no legs for me, every class playing the exact same and having 0 unique aspects between you and another of the same class
Thats just not true. Power word solace had synergy with twilight equilibrium, mindgame’s manipulation, and train of thought. Not to mention atonement.
You know what actually needs to be pruned or reworked is the disc pvp talent Trinity. It has been a completely useless pvp talent that no one uses ever since power word shield was put on a 5 second cooldown. They could remove it or change it so it’s less restrictive.
So you can suggest for spells to be pruned but I can’t? Pick one, either Blizzard prunes useless spells or they don’t.
I disagree with your defense for Solace as hardly anybody ever used it for the purposes you mentioned. Sure, it could be used for those things, but that doesn’t equate it being worth the talent point. I won’t get into Solace any more since it’s already in the grave, as it should be.
You’re obviously trolling. I named like 5 reasons you would spec into solace. I was 2700 in solos as disc using solace. You have no pvp experience. You werent even forced to spec into solace if you’re drooling on yourself and think theres too many buttons. I guess we can agree to disagree but youre wrong.
On the other side, you are still going to sesrch what the most optimal stuff for your spec and you may have 3 or 4 different viable choices.
And as a monk player i hate most of the talents I have to pick because someone thought summoning statues and animals was a good martial arts class fantasy.
