Havent hotfixed the borked spiked dungeoun damage for anything not BfA or Shadowlands in alot of cases people are dying before the casting timer for the heal even goes off there’s also the need to double heal occasionally when switching healing targets because the first heal wont actual heal it’ll just eat mana and do nothing… Just saying might want to fix the levelling experience so there’s actually people that don’t rage quit before endgame.

Frankly, I think Bliz threw in the Demonology spec as an afterthought. In other words, they did not think it through sufficiently enough to make it a more viable spec. Which is sad really.

I use Affliction in my raiding and Destro in dungeons and Torghast. I enjoy both specs and find each bring a good degree of damage and utility to the group making them both extremely viable.

All except for the real lack of movement, I find warlocks in a decent position right now. However, movement is still a problem, even with the Burning Rush (which steals your health for speed), or the morph (in my case from Night Fae) which is extremely helpful. My race talent is more of a bust than a help due to its extreme ability to fail all the time.

I plan to build the demonology spec out here in the next week or two and try it out. Its fun factor with all those little demons running amok make me laugh. But it might not be something I would use for much of anything but solo open world questing. I would like to see Bliz address the inadequacies for warlocks in a more meaningful way. So far I’ve only seen scraps thrown our direction and any buffs given, seemed to have been provided after so many players raised a stink!

Where’s the fix for Bear threat and DPS?

Now WOW is simply a paid test game
Full of BUG, balance between classes, low item drop rate, PVP and other bad game experiences

Use the restaurant to describe
Blizzard also believes that it used to be the status of a three-star Michelin restaurant
It’s just a normal restaurant now
Blizzard still didn’t realize that the dishes he brought himself were so bad that they could be thrown directly into the kitchen waste bucket.

Probably in addition to pushing an expansion piece or the like, speculating on a stock price increase
Then the entire expansion was smashed, and then a few departments and employees were cut to make the book numbers look better.

Every time you watch designer interviews, you all express your satisfaction with the content you designed
I really don’t know if your satisfaction is completely different from the players?

You all live in your own fantasy
Does not have any intersection with us

I think it’s probably Blizzard’s current business policy, right?

Can we get a way to farm for alts? Im not asking for a way to earn more soul ash with less time/effort, just so i can farm soul ash on my alt when i have the time to make a few legendaries and try them out. A cumulative cap is what i was hoping for before launch, and sad we didnt get it

imagine painfully slowly removing silly/dumb resctrictions that they created on hotfixes rather than NOT having them implemented in the first place… still no catch up, nothing better for torghast as whole… dev’s will need a miracle to save that feature they praised so much during blizzcon.

I love how there’s a :relaxed: at the end of the sentence as if removing the cap somehow fixes the fact that if you make a new alt today (which would be understandable as we’re in a content draught which only a god could know will be over) you have to wait weeks to get your leggos. And that’s if you can numb your mind enough to slog through an hour of layer 8 in torghast to get the full amount. Which lul also you probably can’t do because you’re a fresh alt and unless you got a millie gold to throw at the auction house for gear to even able to do it you’ll have spend even more hours in Mythic+ hoping you get something more than a 29.99 (60 day supply of) anima. I don’t even wanna mention how you’ll wait even more hours if one of your leggos drop from a world boss that isn’t in rotation for 3 weeks.

Does this mean we’re less likely to target Ashen Phylacreties in Torg?

Noice. My already delightfully hardy dwarf paladin is even more buff. Bring it! :muscle: :muscle:

darkness flame legendary is still broken. The tooltip just reads differently with a new bug. It still does not work at all. How does it go from being perfectly fine before 9.0.5 to being bugged to being hot fixed into new bugs. I give up on any hope of saving this expansion. It is broken and buggy.
