The entire reason the boon was invented was to take away the feeling that you need to logout your character in order to save buffs for the next raid. Yet we have SOD with a 5% damage buff that can’t be booned alongside the rest of the others…why?
Now sure you can argue “who cares its just for parsing and sweats” and you’re absolutely right but you couldve also said that about Ony, Rend, Songflower yet Blizzard still felt the need to add a boon to fix the issue of logging out your mains except for raids.
TLDR; The ashenvale buff not being boonable goes against the entire reason it was added in the first place
The TLDR before they send you a wall of text is that there isn’t any. Blizzard just dropped the ball on this one and somehow didn’t forsee that min-maxxers would want to keep uptime of this buff to 100% if possible.
This is wrong, though, because some buffs like rend or DMF are not dispellable. The boon exists to prevent raid logging.
Its a once a week consume, sure, but if that is the only arguement against it, just have the turn in give you the buff immediately like DM N. Then youd be down to boon it, right?
They should just make it so you can acquire the drum a limitless number of times by taking part in the Ashenvale event. It makes no sense that you can only get it once a week.
Make the quest give rep once a week but make it infinitely repeatable. You can only hold one drum at a time. Problem solved.
From the dev post itself. Boon exists so you don’t have to “stop playing to avoid wasting them”. That’s literally what you have to do with ashenvale buff now.
Yes, it’s been beaten a thousand times into the ground that you get a scroll. But any decent guild is going to get all BFD clears within that two hour window per week. So you’re still forced to avoid playing if you want to keep it, which goes against the exact thing they said.
This is just a stupid take. Just because a guild or raid team might not care that you do it doesn’t mean that I personally don’t care. And yes - any top parsing guild absolutely requires you to raidlog with it (although they also require multiple characters for splits / cheese strats / etc so
As it is, it just doesn’t make any logical sense to not be boonable. It doesn’t hurt anyone by being boonable, and it being boonable just means I can play the game more which they should want anyways
“KeEp MoViNg My GoAl PoSt” quit trying to “gotcha” people with fallacies. I never said anything about it not being able to be dispelled.
My point is with the logic they used for chronoboon, as posted above by a dev, it makes no sense for this to work any differently.
