This game is horrible

Blizzard adds stupid essence abilities which you are forced to pve even if all you like to do is pvp in order to get the best essences in the game… this game is so bad and pvp is very unbalanced. I missed the good old days where it took skill to win instead of stupid abilities blizzard(Activision) loves to add to the game for no reason what so ever. FIX THE ISSUES THAT MATTER BLIZZARD!

Yea, I tend to agree. Use of the azerite essences are bad game design for rated pvp.

They’re interesting and I think some of them are great. But they def can be game breaking.

Im more annoyed at Harbingers and Harbingers 2.0 and all these dmg proc pve things that hit for 42k

Maybe for PvE.

Personally, I dislike all the new “systems” Blizz has implemented the past few expansions. Azerite, artifact power, essences, heart of azeroth, etc. All these extra PvE grinds that are forced upon everyone that are used to extend time played. The game was a lot better when gameplay wasn’t so focused on these systems - but instead around our classes themselves. Back then I was just a rogue, not some azerite junkie. I improved my character by running the highest content I can (PvP or PvE) and earning gear, not farming world quests until my eyes bleed.

Essences wouldn’t be bad if they were account bound. It’s 6+ months of content, doing one +10 mythic dunegon within that time isn’t going to kill you.

It’s all the PvE gear that ruins this game, complete lack of equally OP PvP gear that adds to that (along with vendors), and the continued neglect of PvP balance. This meta is old and needs to change. Rdruid, destro, mage, dk and monk needs to go already.

I have never wanted to face a WLD so bad in my life…

Yea nerf badge too

Edit: big badge

It’s like blizz heard us complaining about being pruned and goes this route instead of fixing class design.

They’re designing our classes with these content patches in mind i’ll bet. “yeah it sucks now, but when they unlock essences in 8.2 they’ll see our real vision for how classes were tuned.”

or some stupid backwards sentiment like that. They want to create this illusion of progression by gimping all our classes then slowly adding features as the expansion progresses.

I quit legion after s2 because I couldn’t stay connected to the game for more than like 5 seconds due to internet issues, when I look at s7 legion and stuff, I don’t even recognize teh game classes were so different from s1 and s2.

This is such a horrible way to retain players idk how stupid they must be to give us a bad experience and then slowly “improve” on it with gimmicks they’re just going to remove in the next .0 patch.

Essences should have been more similar to legion legendary effects than just random lazer beam every 2 minutes. Or rng stat boosts as minors.

The essences should have altered our current abilities so we are still playing our class instead of playing call of duty zombies with ray guns.

do what the rest of did a long time ago and stop q’ing

True. PS let’s start a dad guild on classic together. :sunglasses:

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of enjoying feeling like my character has Cyclops’s eye beam. Time to take off my shades :sunglasses:

Stop saying you enjoy it. They are going to give us more lasers now.

Have you ever tried triple indomitable justice traits + divine judgement?

I concur with OP.
Legion Artifacts were a flop, BFA Essence/Azerite is a flop.
WoD was horrible but I’d rather play that then Legion or BFA.
All these noobs just got their first glad/r1 titles in Legion and BFA and think they’re good. Hardly any difference between a 2200 and 2800 player bc we all only have 4 spells.
