There's no reason for Paladin buffs to still be 5 minutes

“nooo it’s not a fallacy ur dum!!”

Very intelligent counterargument.

It’s truly unfathomable that blizzard decided to give us WOTLK abilities, but couldn’t give us some insanely basic QOL changes like longer buff times.

You’re not at all understanding their point lol. But then I looked and saw you play a pally in SoD… so it makes sense.

Also its still the base game. That hasnt changed.

What if totem buffs stayed with you even after you move out of the totem’s range? Say for example you drop Windfury totem. Everyone within range get a buff that provides them with the Windfury weapon imbue for 2 minutes.

Would that work or could this be exploited somehow? I am not very familiar with vanilla Shaman mechanics.

The #nochanges crowd did not make the decision to put SoD on the same client as Era and Hardcore, the developers did. Your conspiracy theory is invalid.

Tank here…drinking to full after every other pull. Blessing the whole raid and then drinking to full again really does lead to a lot of down time for the whole group. Yes shamans need a qol update too. Not asking for greater blessings, just a 10 min buff instead is reasonable. Its SoD, not era, let the changes flow freely.

Crazy to me the people in this thread hating on paladin to the point of them not wanting pallys to get QoL changes just because they get dumpstered by them in pvp. Both Shaman and Pally need increased buff timers. That is not up for discussion, take your salty loss elsewhere.

i could have sworn they couldn’t make the change because HC era and this all share the same client.

Typically i like less changes. But ill agree here. 5 min buffs should increase to 30m like everyone elses buff

GET PURGED please LOL. Thanks.

I’m losing my feelings for wow at this rate I’m maxed 3 toons, I farmed gold, I did crafting for first time I’m in 2 guilds, about to roll other toon on alliance so I can see how OP pally is, I want 40 cap now please and Make it a good please. They talk about changes for life improvements but they leave pallys buffs on 5min and shamens imbues on 5 mins. They leave HS down a hour, flight paths fly so slow!! Ban bots, open up summoning stones! Priest buffs costing 400 mana makes me not wanna buff my team outside of dungeons. Like serious make the game better! Fix the toxic stuff not change the game because people love classic feel or what ever… but no one in there right mind loves 400mana single target buffs!!! Heart my comment or mail it to a dev please I have 11+ plus days played in wow SOD. I’m a try hard and I wanna enjoy phase 2 I wanna enjoy a better classic wow change more then just runes n dungeons… Fix stuff fix wsg premades

let me educate you on the differences on totems vs pally blessings as a roundabout reason why yalls blessings should stay as they are.

totems dont move along with the group.

they cost more for less buff.

when you “purge” a totem (kill it) it removes the entire buff for the whole party.

you need 1 shaman per group to cast the totems whereas you can buff the whole raid with 1 or 2 pallies.

the main thing we have next phase was to be windfury and now that druids have that we get nothing to buff “real” windfury probably .

also most dispels of buffs only get 1 dispel and 1 buff. if you have 2 pallies thats 2 dispels per person at a large mana cost.

so no. you shouldnt have improved buff timers .

You have a different problem, your totems are stationary.
While we have to buff entire raid 10 times per 5 minutes.

Perhaps they could make some of your more impactful totems a passive/rune?

I agree make the buffs last 20% longer, Paladins everywhere will love the new 6 min version.
