Why the AOE cap is a bad thing

Pulling through walls is a bug caused by the design. I think the risk vs reward density allows for, especially when there are patrols that a “good” tank can decide to take route A over B because of the timing of patrols.

We went the entire expansion with this not being addressed… When many of these packs aren’t required for %… why even have them? Especially when you’re NORMAL rotation has a chance to pull them.

@Blackstannis-khazgoroth

I like that in some dungeons space is a resource, there is a skill check involved (especially on sanguine) where if you are in very tight corners, making sure the group doesn’t stray into surrounding mobs is important.

that’s fine. the majority don’t need to be made that way.

@Blackstannis-khazgoroth

Some mobs do have substantially more health and buff the surrounding mobs, general rule the bigger the mob model the more health relative to his peers he will have. I am thinking of underrot and the mounted mobs in seige, the ettins in freehold too.

are you just looking to disagree for the sake of disagreeing?

Mob health diversity compared to Legion is low.

@Blackstannis-khazgoroth

I think some dungeons have enough, I like abilities that are a puzzle that needs to be solved by the group, again thinking underrot and the second boss, having fixate/ae silence, having that ~10 second incapacitate, the slime puddles in the room near the boss.
Really ae damage IS the problem here, if you can quickly blow them up you don’t need to counter them. I would prefer more totem-esque abilities that just flat out ignore non single targeted spells, rather than blunting the ae toolboxes.

yep, you’re just disagreeing to disagree…

I’m glad you think they have enough. The point here is to limit large pulls by increasing complexity.

@Blackstannis-khazgoroth

I am against the unpruning

says enough about the rest of your opinions. Many abilities that were removed were considered core, if not class/spec defining. Many specs lost a lot of abilities while mage/rogue lost none.

We need more… not less.
