Pretty much this, I hated having to go LWing on my Warlock only for drums… Just debuff drums/hero/lust. Problem solved with minimal brain functioning.
April Fools joke early? Has to be.

We need some streamers to complain, they wont listen to the plebs.
This is NOT the change people expected Blizz, wake up.
This is the equivalent of dropping a rabbit in the tiger cage and watching for fun.
Now if it’s not a spoof/joke, then oooooooo boy is this going to be bad.
I’m amazed at how badly they missed the mark. Unless those new drums are raid wide and give the debuff, LW will be the required meta. Even before ZA.
Screw leatherworking. I’m a blacksmith.

Ah yes, the fond memories of my guild telling me that I have to reroll leatherworking or get benched.
Thanks Blizz.

Miss you

Look at how many people in this thread share your opinion – I’m sure there will be plenty of guilds that don’t mandate it. Don’t ruin TBC for the people who want to experience it like it was when actually released.

This is not really effective sorry. Drums are still mandatory under this change. Please consider one of the many other options proposed in this thread and elsewhere
Worst “fix” ever, can’t believe how out of touch blizzard is.

I’m fine with doing the whole Drum meta, but just let me buy them off the AH instead of taking LW just to use one item.
Great job listening blizz… Nailed another one. GG

This is a terrible idea.
Its just sapper charges 2.0 I don’t care what idiots who can’t kill viscidus have to say about classic balance.

Bad argument is bad. People wanted #nochanges for Classic and that worked out perfectly right? 
There are small things that need to change for the actual health of Classic BC to be successful and not bleed 70% of the players in 2 months who “thought they didn’t” want changes.

I feel like this post is even worse than no post. There’s no REAL clarity, and this does absolutely nothing to even aim anywhere near the previously stated goals of not requiring 20 LWers in the raid (after Phase 4 goes live). I applaud the decision to leave the early drums the same (at least that seems like what you’re doing) and add new drums in Phase 4 geared towards Sunwell, but you literally didn’t change anything. If you want to ACTUALLY reduce the number of LWers required, make it a 30 sec buff with 1 minute CD. 2 people per group can rotate, everyone’s happy. This isn’t hard, guys.
No this thread is “Why are you doing the opposite of what you promised a month ago”. I was resigned to the drums meta and they gave me hope it could be avoided.
Not only did they re-instate the drum meta, they made it WORSE.
