New Warrior ability that grants attack power and 5% crit to the raid. Does not stack with Dragon Slayer world buff.
Is this how Blizzard solves the world buff question? Change world buffs to class specific abilities?
This would allow them to 1) make each class mandatory to bring to a raid 2) create a path to remove world buffs from raids 3) solve the issue of wipe = lost world buffs
This one caught me off guard. Interesting move.
I think its great because it offers multiple paths to the same result. If you don’t want to bring warriors OR if you’re looking to absolutely min/max you can still get world buffs. If you don’t care about min/max you can opt to take a warrior instead (or use the warrior to cover potential buff loss while raiding). It is a bit different than a fight which requires mana burn or buffs like wind fury that are effects only certain classes provide and nothing else in the game can make up for that.
There shouldn’t be multiple paths for world buff power. There shouldn’t be boons, either. World buff strength is because they’re supposed to have great risk. Somewhere along the line, idiots decided that they needed it as a crutch instead.
Not only that, but the developer note for that change was a lot of words to tell us they don’t actually understand what “utility” means in the game. It’s a painfully stupid idea.
Nice change. But I bet they’ll bungle it up by making it some ridiculous thing like “solo/duo this lvl 60 dungeon to get a chest reward at the end with this spellbook in it”.
I have a better solution.
Give us the OPTION to only have 2 World Buffs active but they persist through Death.
I don’t mind the change, but they could just remove world buffs and balance accordingly
