Good day folks, I was dwelling on GCD changes the other day. You see, playing a Rogue requires energy management. It’s a great feeling once one figures out how to manage it properly. It’s a rewarding resource system. I like it.

The issue I have ran into a lot is using Vendetta. Especially under Bloodlust, I can easily cap on energy while using it with lucky Venomous Wounds procs. Add in Nothing Personal as a trait an it can really flood regen. What feels the worst the initial press of my damage cooldown. Watching all that time, which can’t be more than a second, but feels like an eternity. Praying not to cap out. Beating my Mutilate key furiously like it owes me money after a Pat’s game. Capping out feels bad (man)…

So then I got to thinkin’. Why do classes feel like this? I play a few others, but they just don’t feel fluid. I miss snapshotting on my Affliction lock. I miss the Starsurge procs on my Boomkin (Druid feels better over all now, I will give them that). I miss using Rune of Reorigination on Feral. UVLS on Demo lock. The list goes on.

I say, break classes a bit. Let those who remain have some fun. Old players who left may return if they find out their class can do some new amazing broken thing. Those who stay will be rewarded with better game play. Hire some neckbeards who can name the time when each class and spec were their most broken.

Thanks.

TL;DR Classes need some fixing, nix GCD pls.

Yes, GCD is stupid. No, they won’t change it.

It’s just so silly to feel behind in my damage because I pressed a damage cooldown.

I just want to know why Avenging Wrath is on the GCD for Holy Paladins… I smash that button at least 5x during an emergency and it still doesn’t activate!

I hate frenzied regen on the gcd my god it feels so bad.

I don’t use frenzied regen for fun, I need it when I’m taking a lot of damage and that gcd feels like an eternity.

All those abilities were added to the GCD for PvP reasons. It’s about time they do something about it and separate PvP from PvE completely. Like having two versions of each and every ability.

Why not, right? Gear, damage and scaling is different for pvp. Surely this could be a pvp only change.

As someone who hits keys fast it’s very annoying. I’m a noob and don’t even use macros! If I wanted a slow, laborious GCD I would play that other MMO. Since the GCD changes my audio sounds like:

I can’t do that yet.
That ability isn’t ready yet.

Sweeping Strikes on the gcd is probably the most bile-inducing thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Who on earth thought making classes slower was a great change?
