Led to hope that there might be. Not certainty. So it wasn’t far fetched at the time that they might create entirely new kinds of content instead of M+ infinite that you have to run for legendaries.
Never said I was angry about it. Just disappointed that it didn’t become a different kind of content other then infinite M+.
And the game could use content that doesn’t require people waiting for you to finish before they can join. It just happens to be something I would like to see included in the future.
My point here was that balancing it is going to be a nightmare and adding a timer to it is going to make it worse. As someone above had stated there are levels you can clear in 5 min while the next might be very large and take 20 min to clear (as happened to a streamer.) Compound this by skill gear covenants and a ton of other factors and how do you decide what is an appropriate timer?
If we’re using Mythic raiders as the example for standards of excellence, we’ll never agree on anything.
I will tell everyone this though. I love playing as a healer in DPS centered content that’s not tuned or care of mind for healers playing solo or duo. Yeah, real fluxing fun to be behind everyone for the 4 - 7 weeks it took them to patch it to make it easier, yet still fail because not having the corruption to make up the DPS loss for not playing a DPS spec.
I’m totally, 100% confident, that healers and tanks won’t get screwed again for some forced timed timer that doesn’t need to exist.
So you missed the part where there’s a safe spot at the beginning of each floor where an AFK’er like you can go do whatever you want for as long as you want without starting the debuff timer?
Or that the “timer” is just a very slowly stacking debuff of some kind that only effects combat? Go clear the trash and elites on a floor in the same way as in a Raid as you decribed and the debuff won’t have any effect on you.
A Soft Timer That Incentivizes Speed on Each Floor
This is literally the same we’re dealing with in Visions, except in Visions it’s a bar ticking down called your sanity. If you’re going to ignore this for the sake of your argument, your head must be as dense as Blizzard’s stubbornness over the years.
As someone who mained a healer for most of this expansion (and most of WoW, tbf), and swapped because I truly dislike BFA discipline, I’ll ask a simple question.
Why don’t you just find a dps to partner with? My woman’s a holy paladin in all forms of content on her main. I kill stuff. We work together. Just find a dps if you’re so concerned about this kind of thing. Take it from me, we rarely complain about being pocketed.
