SoD desperately needs a wildcard rune slot that allows you to put any other rune into it. Too many of the specs right now don't feel like I'm actually making any choices. It's season of allocate the runes that were specifically designed for your build and nothing else, while also having some extremely questionable overlap on certain slots. If you just sat down and spent 30 seconds thinking about some of the new interesting configurations you could test out for whatever your favourite class is, you'd immediately come up with 4 or 5 of them. No longer being locked out of tanking runes to bring windfury on your druid, the mangle and lacerate problem would no longer be an issue. Losing cool/fun tools in place of mandatory throughput or mandatory class/raid utility doesn't feel very good. Sure, you'd need some mutually exclusive runes in certain cases, but it would be so much more fun for the game. Also datamining shows at least one "in the nightmare" item being from the raid, which could be a mistake. But seeing as the nightmare portals are being created by Eranikus dreaming, and almost every class is the called the nightmare set, I don't think it should be ruled out entirely that the bonuses like the alchemy flasks aren't usable in there (unless I've missed some developer clarification saying otherwise).
I've been saying since phase 1 that they are going to introduce a flex slot as the last slot when level 60 rolls around. Think that would be quite fun.
what you mean? no matter what you do, 90% of the players follow guides instead of trying to check themselves. And if you sat down and spent 30 seconds on configurations you could test out, you would come up with 4-5 of them with the current system. Warr: this class can go and do whatever you like. Except heal. Paladin: havnt looked into it, but most likely holy dps and Retri dps exist. Shamans: Dual wield Ele, Dual Wield Resto, Ele Tank, Resto Tank. This class has no boundaries. Hunters: melee BM, Range BM, Range MMS (hard to find other on this), Range or melee Survival, Survival Tank (if you feel brave), Spell damage specc? o.O Druids: Boomkin tank(with shammy buff), Boomkin Dps, Feral Tank, Feral dps, Resto healer, Balance healer. Rogue: you can do whatever here except Healer. doesnt poison work with spell damage gear? Mage: Go frost, cast Arcane spells. Frost healer? or fire healer? choices are yours. Priest: Holy Dps, Shadow Dps, Disc DPS, Shadow healer (skip shadowform). Warlock: Tank in every specc, most likely in demo or go DPS in any of the speccs. I do miss a rune that would make health funnel able to be cast on other players. would be cool to see a healer that uses its own healthbar as resource. Other than that, i just gave you several here without even thinking. however, most people use guides, so people will never go outside of their box.
Six months ago we didn't even know we are getting something as excellent as SOD. I'm not willing to completely write off future content based on that alone. This literally came out of nowhere. Could you be right? Absolutely. Could just as well go a completely different way and have devs see the lessons learned from sod create a legitimate classic plus. We simply have no idea.
I'm pretty sure there will be a classic plus after this season. They call this an experiment... experiment for what? Retail is so different, I find it hard to believe these "experiments" are intended to be sent to the retail servers. It's not going to be for the classic servers. They already don't intend to change the classic servers. Despite potential changes in Cataclysm, they won't change it that much.. That leaves this as an experiment to see what will work when they make Classic Plus.. I don't see how it can go any other way.
as a new player coming from runescape straight to SOD ... im having so much fun lol... the glyphs in wrath n shit were so confusing but Runes seem to be the way to go
Iv been a warrior main for 18 years, I played gladiator stance in Warlords when it was introduced to the game. It was the meta dps spec at the time and IT SUCKED to play. It was the worst thing blizzard ever introduced to the class and there is a reason it only lasted in game for roughly a month. Anyone excited for or asking for this is wrong, didn't play then, and is not someone I would consider a warrior main. Stop ruining my class blizzard please we want fury pve and arms and prot tanking the END.
Altho I like SoD and this coming from one of them "classic andys" it gets harder and harder to decide what to main. I mean it's great they adjust changes quite fast. Because it usually takes them months to do any changes, but they nerf too much. At one time something if strong (maybe bit OP) and insted of carefully adjust and TEST things out, they dish out 30-50% nerfs, making a strong class almost unplayable. And at the same time you wanna have a main, whilst also testing out other classes/specs because it's Season of Discovery, aka discover/test things, not Season of Tryhards.
Had a blood moon the other day and I tried deep prot warrior. I don't think you know how satisfying it is to purge a paladins seal of martyrdom and then silence him only for him to lose his weapon for another 6 seconds. Mages losing their ice armor and not being able to blink away. Revenge locking a silly melee Hunter who thought they were in good company. Of course, like any warrior, this only works if you have a pocket healer nearby.
P1 was really good. Got every char to 25 and raided bfd twice a day. But p2 was so bad, pvp become a 1 shot fest, raid was rubbish, quit just over 2 weeks in and seems like everyone I know also felt exactly the same.
@@sciencethygod dont need a dmg meter to know that shammies are garbage. 2 shots to kill someone???? unreal, how are they supposed to take down an entire 10 man by themselves. #buffshamans /s
i've developed a pavlovian response to the word "pumping" i just get these vietnam flashbacks of those raging parse andies who leave at the first sign of a minor inconvenience 🤣
As a rogue main, it's nice they are adding an aoe ability, which I hope doesn't end up like shuriken toss which deals no damage to be useful, but with the new runes we have seen for phase 3, our pve rotation looks like it's gonna be very, very simple, even for classic
As another rogue main the wrist rune slot actuaaly seems interesting, atleast according the early calculations made by Simonize it seems that raw dps given by cut to the chase and carnage runes are quite neck by neck, giving us situational choise for for laid back SnD always up build or more involved build where you need to keep track SnD time, rupture time and deadly poison stacks. Having to make this choise depending each situation seems exciting, can’t wait to try them out 👏🏻
@@LarGist I was just hoping to add another button to our already simple rotation. Like, make an ability that procs after another one or something. Tracking poisons, bleeds and snd are things we have done before. I hope it will be fun anyway and we finally get to try other weapons too and not only daggers, which seems to be the case.
@@the_Acaman fair points and I actually agree on you with mutilate/daggers outshining everything else. Maybe there is still hope for buffed saber slash hidden away from data miner gazes, that though would again make rotation simpler with carnage not requiring rupture maintenance
As a warlock main if the change from remove curse for mage go to dispelling magical effect too. I feel I lost a so valuable use of my class, who have a pet restriction 8sec cd on it and some skill to use it. Like do mages really need another utility compared to warlock?
2 high pop severs...,? There "is 2" servers, 1 is super high pop (crusauder strike) the other is "lava lash" ( PvE that is already lower than CB) this is bs. Lava lash is not where people want to go, but we dont have a CHOICE... Lava is lower pop than CB (at least when all this started). Also it upsets me that u won't say what the 2nd server is.... Its lava lash, a PvE server. And lower pop.... (and if we go to a PvE we will be stuck there, and wont be allowed back to a PvP server, even if we wanted, BC we got linked into a PvE).Address the situation pls. I know u have made friends with the devs and have a discord with them. But this isn't what the "PLAYERS" want. We dont want trivial bs we want different realm transfers. Thats all we want, stop putting all this bs in front of want we want,.. More transfer options please!!! Please!!!
Fix alliance!! Horde was best faction since ever... Let every one choose racials from both faction and lets see how many actualy would take one shit alliance racial... But why changing something in fav. To alliance in a seasonal exp. Would be crazy I guess for the biggest horde bias called blizzard..
They could make lake of fire a stacking debuff instead, forcing people to use the full duration is stupid. Most of the time you won't be able to do it without having to move. But having it stack, 1 stack per tick and then maybe max out at 5 stacks, could make it an interesting mechanic with a bit more setup
I can play both horde and alliance on Crusader's Strike now! Transferred my horde characters that were on CB to CS(where I play on alliance) and I can play both factions.
Druids need thrash. Some sort of feral aoe for tanking, more then swipe (3 targets only) to keep up with paladins and warlocks. Its already happening giving rogues aoe. Dont leave ferals hanging.
Hunter speaking - So disappointed. We need defensives, not just focusing on buffing pets, screw them they are annoying. Give us defensives, Hunter is a KITE class, I would accept less dmg but more survivability with DISENGAGE instead of making us a burst class like elemental shaman. We are at a point when Warrior have charge in combat + intervene. Rogue have shadowstep + the shadowstrike from stealth. Mage blink is getting EVEN better, actually INSANE with the new wrist rune. Teleports back to where you last cast Blink from and resets the cooldown on Blink. - While Ranged hunters get rune on wrist that do 10% more dmg on traps -.- So now explosive trap instead of doing 100 dmg will do 110 dmg, wow, what a rune. If Mage blink is getting even better, why not make a wrist rune for hunters to have ATLEAST WOTLK VERSION of DISENGAGE, I feel like blizzard is trolling us with TNT. Compare Rapid Killing with Deep Freeze, Mage get one of the best ability ever, while hunter gets a rune that was on TBC talent point tree that nobody was using points on it, completely useless.
@@twoshacos1box301 Raiding is not the only aspect of the game and is it stands right now hunter is just a melee class with some pet damage, it plays just like any other melee with the occasional trap used. That is not the hunter fantasy and the defining playstyle of marksman is so lack luster right now that it's not even worth playing in any game mode. Hunters at the very least need the WOTLK version of deterrence and disengage.
Honestly sick of content creators ruining the game. Nobody does any real work to discover anything. Just watch a video telling them what to do. "Creators" make videos about all the good farms I discover on my own or ways to make gold and suddenly 5000 players are doing the same thing. All so they can "create"/ make money off it. One time, people had to put in some time and work to figure these things out.
I’m still not 100% sold on glad stance as a warrior main. I understand it does change up some things and encourages you to wear a shield however I still would like to see a rune come to the game that really changes things up. Maybe Titan grip will come one day….
@@rodgoesinya9947 what I mean by change things up is they are trying to stop us from dual wield tanking and “change things up” by forcing us to wear a shield. I’ve also noticed that all non warrior mains say that glad stands is cool and will change things for the better but every warrior main I talk to just wants Titan grip or blade storm
I’m disappointed they didn’t add gathering bonuses like they said was planned. Some good changes here though, hopefully it can bring sod population back up after a losing so many since p1.
I love your content and all the SoD info!!! BUT having said that, I've noticed in this and other videos you have said "wolf-shed" Helm and it's "wolfs-HEAD" helm 😂😅 doesn't matter or mean much but it just irks me a bit 😅😅. Just wanted to point that out. Much love amd support!!!❤
I hope they are already working or atleast planning on what comes at the end of sod ...this is their cash cow right now and hopefully they will continue with and expansion or somthing..cause at end of 60 we will prolly be as strong as tbc gear
It seems great for everyone except feral druids. I'm freezing my feral druid for this phase, since they clearly don't understand ferals and/or they just hate it. It feels like playing a retail class that does 0 dps and has no quality of life improvements from retail. They need to face major issues for this class, mainly energy generation (not energy gain through complex mechanics or random procs) and combo points generators. Until they understand this, feral is going to suck badly. I don't know why some people love the new items for the druids. It's like they're adding a permanent spell (catnip) to your already complex rotation + you have to shapeshift in phase 3. Meanwhile, there are whole classes that use a single spell and do 40% more dps. It's a joke.
Ferals are gonna pump it’s just gonna be a skill gap class, same as warriors, they gave ferals WS and couldn’t be bothered to come up with anything else to actually benefit the class
@@Jefftmartin189 It is already like that. SoD should be more casual friendly, like it has been confirmed by the devs and it is confirmed by most of the classes. I parse 99 with my feral in SoD, but it feels clunky and less fun than my sub rogue in retail. The mechanics are basically the same, except in SoD you dont have energy generation (no, energy gen from tigers fury is ridiculous) or combo point gen/finishers.
@@Jefftmartin189 What I meant is that feral lacks fundamental easy mechanics, compared to basically every other class. No energy except for those 15 seconds of berserk and our shred (48 energy = 3 ticks = 6 seconds) gives us only 1 combo point, 2 if it crits. It's the very basis that's wrong, and giving us band-aids like shapeshift or catnip aint gonna change that
@@Whathefaqs hey I hear you, I play warrior and we haven’t gotten anything that makes the class easier to play, only more stuff to play around, but I know how op I’ll be at 60 atleast, ferals don’t even get that, but I also feel that classic feral Druid was always a high skill class and I do play one, as long as they keep power shifting a key part of the class and it does good damage I think that’s a good direction for the class, but most of the non phase 1 stuff has been very lackluster for ferals
Playing Feral was really cool p1 because of wf, in phase 2 it was kinda disapointing, the Utility was still ok with Brez and inervate more so in the first clears of gnomer, but now im rerolling something else for phase 3 id rather play something else... Other classes have way more to offer imo
I wonder if they would make other tanks more useable beside the dps spec being just because they can hold threat. Tanks should be best at taking not an dps spec.
Just got a perma ban today, i called someone bad in pvp. I used to think ppl sayiing they got banned for X were full of shit, well be careful out there boys. ill still drop by to see ur videos just wont be participating as normal :P
When hunters were considered OP, they didn't hesitate 1 day to nerf. When it's shamans OP for an entire phase it's "well a new phase will be out anyway..." I wonder what class the devs like to play?
ahaha man, you kinda don't now warriors at all right, don't you?...warriors can't sacrifice defense for just slight offense improvement (at least in SoD this doesn't work)... we can't survive well now, since everything is so DoT and oneshot heavy. Warriors need more defense CDs (Spell Reflet would be perfect), or just give us even more offense (Titan grip is nice). We are good only if we crit or hit heavily... otherwise it's a RIP fight. As a warrior main I'm telling you that neither of the Warrior changes mentioned in this video will make this class better in PvP in phase 3. Meathook.. is OKAY not even good (it has 1.6 seconds cast time, range limits, and costs rage...), but all the rest.. it's just BS... retaliation available in any stance.. whooaahh what a boost.. it's 30 MINUTES CD! ! Comparing with the skills/abilities other classes are given that warrior "improvements" are nothing...
"Era of Discovery realms" mimicing OSRS - pull an oldschool blizz and copy someone else but do it better. (For context - PUBLIC VOTING SYSTEM FOR ADDITIONS TO CLASSIC)
So, with the heavy nerf to RB and being forced to use shield, will tank enh even do any dmg at all? I'm kinda torn on those changes I must say. On one end, enh had 8 ways to play the game wf/wf, wf/rb, wf/ft, rb/wf, rb/rb, rb/ft, rb/shield and wf (2h). And it felt sweet to have the nuance. On the other hand, I can understand that it can be overwhelming for players and for devs to balance. Also, this feels like a big blow to shaman survivability in pvp, losing all that health and mitigation. Maybe Feral Spirits are not introduced as a dmg cd, but a survivability one, along with the sprint for our lacking mobility? After all, they were nerfed after wotlk or cata, to be largely inconsequent for dps, right? I think Mental Dexterity was something that was meant to happen. If 60-70% of your dmg sources do not benefit from gear, there's an issue. People think this rune is crazy strong primarily because enh is currently so good though. And the reason it is good is because of several huge buffs, such as SotB 20% ap, 50% extra OH dmg, big LL dmg (with FT) and SS being super buffed baseline. Before those changes, enh was at the bottom of the barrel.
13:15 Oh, yes, I will be. Besides TBC, the Cata-MoP has been my most-looked-forward to part of WoW Classic. I have barely been able to wait for this day and I can't wait to re-live the glory of these next two expansions all over again. I've got a 'Circa 2010' music playlist, a playlist of old WoW vids, and a playlist of old shows like Scrubs and How I Met Your Mother already set up for the pure blast of epic nostalgia. It's going to be awesome.
If you guys ever get the chance to speak to the devs again I have a few Druid flavored questions. 1 - I know everyone is psyched about Lacerate and Mangle but I would be just as if not more happy with Sunfire and Mangle. PvP kitty menace LoL! The choice between the two would be BiS!! 2 - Can you make it so Druids can use Rage Potions. I know it would have to be an in form use but I don't see it being OP in any way, considering out current standing... 3 - Not druid specific but Barbershop. I'd even be happy for the version that costs gold. Can't see this being anything but a win, gold sink for us and it won't cost Blizz a cent. Bam thanks fer coming on down!
The SOD team have been farming "W's" for fun up until the last 7 days, the total debacle of Chaos Bolt and the next wave of nerfs IMO is a massive "L", I really hope this trend does not continue. Knowing Blizzards past history & form, the best maybe behind us :(
Servers like crusader strike and lone wolf aren’t mega servers anymore anymore…the populations have dropped. Just transfer over to crusader and deal with it. By allowing people to continue creating characters on chaos bolt, and continuously maintaining that server for all 15 people on it, it’s just utterly WASTED resources from the dev team that could be allocated elsewhere…all because people want “that server identity”. Nobody gives a shit that you’re on chaos bolt except for you. Just take the transfer, and enjoy being able to find guilds/groups easier. I could understand if it was like OG classic faerlina with asmon and those dudes doing huge events, and there being 10 hour queues…but it’s not. Even on my “mega server”, outside of raid times there are like 50 people per layer chillin in keg across a couple layers. During raid time, a couple hundred.
Thank you for touching on Chaos-Bolt. We had an amazing community with tons of great names and players. Sure it could be a bit tough to find groups AFTER 1am but it was usually always possible nonetheless. Everyone knew each other or probably knew of each other at the very least. Player names and clan names very recognizable as you ran around the world / cities. Discord was always super lively Alliance, or Horde. Our community is in distraught still and we all agree there should have been alternative methods such as allowing transfers from other servers TO- Chaos-Bolt.
11:12 I have heard the whole "WoW is dyeing/dead" ever since I started playing the game back in WotLK. The only thing that's going to kill WoW is Blizzerd/Microsoft and likely not for a very long time. At the end of the day, it's still one of the best MMORPG games around.
Suggestion: Plz give Alliance another source of Windfury. Its really hard to find a feral every raid. Maybe change a Pala aura, or even add it to the retribution Aura. On Hordeside its no big deal, but on ally its a struggle.
I play/ed on Chaos Bolt. You didn't cover one of the biggest problems: they opened transfers, borked them up, and then closed them, leaving guilds half-on CB and half-on CS, and many people screwed for raid lockouts as most of the engaged population fled the second the gates opened. Last I checked, we're still waiting on them opening up, my guild left and abandoned me and several others, so now on the eve of the next content update, I don't even know if I'm going to have a guild to raid with. Many of us are properly, righteously angry about how this was handled - especially considering server transfers are not at all new tech in WoW. The community and server were/are great. It may be smaller, it may be harder to find groups at 3AM, but there were almost no bots out in the world, AH prices were reasonable, and people were recognizable and, for the most part, friendly. It genuinely felt like an old-school 2004 classic WoW server.
I quit halfway through P2 because my two mains being Feral tank and prot warrior both felt absolutely terrible to play in both pvp and pve. Gladiator stance with sword and board, pummel, meathook, warbringer, etc might actually be really fun to play. I hope they do something to help with the balance in pvp because bursty metas are TERRIBLE for gameplay because it destroys all form of strategy and people burn out on it far too fast. PvP is wow has always been a rock/paper/scissors type of deal and fights could go on for a while if both players had access to all consumes/engineering and knew the class match ups. As it stands right now, none of that exists and it's whoever can land the first 3 attacks.
when elemental is getting elemental blast+ Spiritwalker's Grace? if not will not be fun to play pvp vs wotlk/cata classes. lava bust+ overload is not enough. Badly needed runes are Spiritwalker's Grace+ Hex + Wind Shear
The only thing DPS Warrior needs is a real rune option for the helmet for a spec other than Arms/Gladiator (Fury won't use Wrecking Crew). Ive been tweeting to Aggrend daily about this, suggesting ideas like WW/Slam hitting with the offhand, or even something boring like flat damage increases to some of their rotational abilities. Tank Warrior probably needs a lot more though, They get some help with the new runes, but tbh they lose out compared to Shaman/Warlock with their automatic uncrittable rune, and their massive amount of armor/health boost.
4:55 I'd be very happy to see it *IF* it didn't have a cast time on the high side of 2 seconds. Makes it almost worthless in the Classic CC-heavy and near-global meta. I mean, seriously, Polymorph has a shorter cast time. That's kinda ridiculous.
Retail WoW had a few big dud expansions in a row. It’ll take a little bit to re-establish confidence in players who quit to return try WoW out again. I think SoD, DF and War Within announcement has done a lot of good for that. If War Within is good, if SoD remains good and leads to Classic+… WoW will be back in its prime I think.
Instead of asking for nerfs I think the community should be asking for their class to get BUFFED. Nerfs are a slippery slope, Blizz has been down and it never ends well.
First time I really watch you. You are very articulate so comfortable with such a good pattern of thinking, speaking and clearness at this young age. You deserve an amazing career. Goo job. Good luck!
I have to agree on the Lake of Fire Rune Nerf. It was way too much and will essentially kill this rune. Destruction warlocks were doing well but not at the top, there was no reason for this nerf. Especially since it's only used in PvE dungeons and raids,.. no warlock used it in PvP or in open world, this was a strictly PvE dungeon/raid rune.
What is this guy talking about when he says that the community is receiving thunderstorm well look at every single comment whether it’s an official Warcraft fucking Instagram or if it’s on UA-cam nobody is receiving that game. Well what is this? How much is this dude getting paid to fluff up this game and all that’s right, he’s part of Agram’s little crowd and their little bitcoin currency shit
population was not fine, I play in the am, toke average hour plus to find a group, played at mid day, still couldnt find a group after an hour, and at night, same; with that said, there where times that i could find groups after 3o mins. transfered to Crusader strike, got to sm, found a group within 5 minutes. found multiple, WSG and AB groups withing 15 mins. soooo, in my experience, cs was a good move to transfer
I love that you have more ways of getting gear and that youre are not forced to do pve content to get a good 2 hander feks. Atleast when you love PVP aspect of the game. In vanilla i had many runs where 2 handers did not drop and , when they dropped u might loose it to somebody else and then youre stuck with unsopppble force.. Blizzard are really kicking ass , and i dont understand all the complaining around forums and other videos ive seen. They deserve a pokal for this stuff they made for us 🤘 And you guys make awesome videos , this really suit you guys
I really hope at level 60 they create a couple new instanced pvp modes. Like 5v5 small objective based games. Take some inspiration from Overwatch game modes.
Just started SOD and have been enjoying it so far. I'm only level 20 on lone wolf horde and wild growth ally, but definitely will have at least one class to 40 by the 4th, only thing holding me back is server choice. Excited to get to raid p3 at least, i'll be healing as always so dual spec will be great for me to start before I can level up an alt
I feel the stress of wanting to play 4-5 classes in SOD p3. Im druid main for 18 years but ive had so much fun on so many classes its been tough to put time elsewhere for any other versions of wow lol. Means their doing something right with SOD
I'm getting further detatched from SoD it's starting to just be Season of Wrath of the Lich King ft. retail. It just feel like it's far FAR off point off what classic is and not close to what classic+ would be.
Hoping Phase 3 brings out some more dedication in some circles. So far I feel like only half of the phases are actually being played in my group. Don't sleep on Cata if you get the chance. It will be out a long time and offers a lot of what everyone wants in SoD. It's not as "Retail" as everyone thinks it is.
I'm not a fan of gladiator stance, especially if its going to be tank meta. Stance dancing and stances is a key part of vanilla warrior tanking that they unfortunately dumbed down and got rid of in later expansions. Some classes like mage are getting whole new realizations for playstyles, and other classes are simply being bumped forward a few expansions. People are playing SOD over retail or wotlk/cata for a reason. They need to be careful how far forward they take some classes.
I really feel like phase 3 has enough content to be a whole expansion. I hope they increase BG rep though especially AB, the ZG logs offer a much better time/effort to rep reward ratio and therefore less people play AB and the problem gets worse. Warriors getting meat hook would be cool especially if they are getting a thrown weapon with a 5sec stun and already have 3 charges, they are going to be a real menace. Hunters getting left behind in the defensive department, every class has some sort of really good damage mitigation/ defensive and instead of the disengage every ranged hunter wanted, we get something that seems to push you toward the BM melee meta yet again..
Nerfing soul link for tank warlock is also stupid thing.I don't understand why it cames out of nowhere. The keystone talent of the defensive tree (tanking spec) for warlock being unusable as warlock tank ? God sake the devs was drunk or what ? They did so well since the start and now we got this big L.
Glad stance will NOT be good for PvP . Maybe if we had arena but in SoD every range blows up anything within seconds . None of those things listed in the post will help survive sod PvP
All these attack speed boosts for feral dps are DUMB AF, our white hits are garbage, the main problem is energy generation and lackluster finishers. That being said, the same boosts are amazing for bear.
Nah no pass given to greenfield. Shamans were one shotting well over a month maybe two months ago. Tweeks to ap scaling is easy, they did it to hunters and priest very quickly. This is lazy.
Can you please ask the devs about dead servers like Penance. Its borederline impossible to play with such low numbers. Cant they jusy merge it with the pvp server and allow warmode for those that want pvp.
But retail is just a mediocre single player game at this point. Sure, I can join in random groups, but there are no "groups". Hopped on a high pop server, and I think 3 people talked total, and they were selling raid runs
I feel differently, best time I've had on wow in years was the release of wrath classic.. cata sucked and it will again. I'm playing sod right now, sod is the only reason I'm playing since wrath is over.
How are you still making a new toon before Phase 3 on a dead server? This is why I say most WoW players are on a spectrum because some of the things they push for are just plain dumb.
I come here for SOD stuff lets cut this garbage retail/plunderstorm talk and focus on C+ please and thanks give mages Battlemage rune/ transform me like meta but melee dps
I've been playing mostly SoD; I do a bot dungeon or non mythic dungeon in retail and play wotlk a lil bit but SoD is so fun and phase 3 sounds awesome! ☮
this wasnt an option, it was an ultimatum on the move. By locking new character creation they doomed the server. The pop was not bad it was fine if anything they could have allowed CS to move to CB to even out the servers.
I really hate having to powershift as a feral druid, was hoping theyd do away with it somehow.... or atleast give us a mana rune to powershift more than 5 times :( gore is actually horrible
The nerf to warlock makes me super upset, but I can try and main tank I guess, otherwise Elemental Shaman seems cool, or this also gives me a reason to roll Warrior.
Im not going to lie seeing Druids get a consumable to release them for permanently using ACP is nice but as a Paladin who is also stuck with it leaves a sour taste in my mouth I hope that something similar comes for paladin going through an entire phase knowing you will not see a wep upgrade as a melee dps is just never fun
When SoD ends I stop playing. SoD is everything.
Classic cataclysm having changes is promising and plunderstorm is pretty fun theres still more to do
Actual classic plus after SoD too is the most likely outcome
SoD is liiiffeee
Agreed. Even if we redo the same season again with different instances and gear, etc. When it ends I’ll stop.
It sucks
SoD desperately needs a wildcard rune slot that allows you to put any other rune into it. Too many of the specs right now don't feel like I'm actually making any choices. It's season of allocate the runes that were specifically designed for your build and nothing else, while also having some extremely questionable overlap on certain slots.
If you just sat down and spent 30 seconds thinking about some of the new interesting configurations you could test out for whatever your favourite class is, you'd immediately come up with 4 or 5 of them. No longer being locked out of tanking runes to bring windfury on your druid, the mangle and lacerate problem would no longer be an issue. Losing cool/fun tools in place of mandatory throughput or mandatory class/raid utility doesn't feel very good.
Sure, you'd need some mutually exclusive runes in certain cases, but it would be so much more fun for the game.
Also datamining shows at least one "in the nightmare" item being from the raid, which could be a mistake. But seeing as the nightmare portals are being created by Eranikus dreaming, and almost every class is the called the nightmare set, I don't think it should be ruled out entirely that the bonuses like the alchemy flasks aren't usable in there (unless I've missed some developer clarification saying otherwise).
I've been saying since phase 1 that they are going to introduce a flex slot as the last slot when level 60 rolls around. Think that would be quite fun.
what you mean?
no matter what you do, 90% of the players follow guides instead of trying to check themselves.
And if you sat down and spent 30 seconds on configurations you could test out, you would come up with 4-5 of them with the current system.
Warr: this class can go and do whatever you like. Except heal.
Paladin: havnt looked into it, but most likely holy dps and Retri dps exist.
Shamans: Dual wield Ele, Dual Wield Resto, Ele Tank, Resto Tank. This class has no boundaries.
Hunters: melee BM, Range BM, Range MMS (hard to find other on this), Range or melee Survival, Survival Tank (if you feel brave), Spell damage specc? o.O
Druids: Boomkin tank(with shammy buff), Boomkin Dps, Feral Tank, Feral dps, Resto healer, Balance healer.
Rogue: you can do whatever here except Healer. doesnt poison work with spell damage gear?
Mage: Go frost, cast Arcane spells. Frost healer? or fire healer? choices are yours.
Priest: Holy Dps, Shadow Dps, Disc DPS, Shadow healer (skip shadowform).
Warlock: Tank in every specc, most likely in demo or go DPS in any of the speccs.
I do miss a rune that would make health funnel able to be cast on other players. would be cool to see a healer that uses its own healthbar as resource.
Other than that, i just gave you several here without even thinking. however, most people use guides, so people will never go outside of their box.
If SoD ends. So does a lot of players. They need to keep this going similar to how OSRS is working. Adding new stuff constantly.
yea we need a sod era realm where the new changes from the next sod are added
SOD is the one and only reason for the subs being high, period. Once that comes to an end the fall off will be the biggest we've ever seen.
Six months ago we didn't even know we are getting something as excellent as SOD. I'm not willing to completely write off future content based on that alone. This literally came out of nowhere.
Could you be right? Absolutely. Could just as well go a completely different way and have devs see the lessons learned from sod create a legitimate classic plus. We simply have no idea.
thats a hard C O P E
@@Tokena14I personally know 5 people in my guild (one of them being me) who are done with their subs when SOD ends if they don’t renew it
As a classic and SoD andy it brings me no pleasure to be the one to tell you this but retail has by far the most subs/players lol
I'm pretty sure there will be a classic plus after this season. They call this an experiment... experiment for what? Retail is so different, I find it hard to believe these "experiments" are intended to be sent to the retail servers. It's not going to be for the classic servers. They already don't intend to change the classic servers. Despite potential changes in Cataclysm, they won't change it that much.. That leaves this as an experiment to see what will work when they make Classic Plus.. I don't see how it can go any other way.
The problem with blizzard is that their nerfs are very heavy handed. Once they nerf something it will be unplayable.
Yeah they always overreact and just nerf specs into the ground
I have made table top games over the decades, I do subtle nerfs and buffs. Blizzard does nerfs and buffs with a sledge hammer.
Nerf to melee hunter yet they are very playable. Nerf to priest in ph 1 yet they still to 2 in healing
That being said theyve nerfed hunters the entire of sod and yet they still one of the best even after all nerfs
This is in most games to be honest.
Give these guys a bigger budget and resources. They’re killing it and have a big opportunity to expand upon their initial winning streak. 🙌
Wolfshead = WOLF'S HEAD. The clue is there is a picture of the head of a wolf.
WOLF SHED
There's no head in the recipe!
The word trophy is also another clue (e.g., think of taxidermy)
as a new player coming from runescape straight to SOD ... im having so much fun lol... the glyphs in wrath n shit were so confusing but Runes seem to be the way to go
Iv been a warrior main for 18 years, I played gladiator stance in Warlords when it was introduced to the game. It was the meta dps spec at the time and IT SUCKED to play. It was the worst thing blizzard ever introduced to the class and there is a reason it only lasted in game for roughly a month. Anyone excited for or asking for this is wrong, didn't play then, and is not someone I would consider a warrior main. Stop ruining my class blizzard please we want fury pve and arms and prot tanking the END.
I agree, so many dead rune slots for the class, so many different utility abilities they could give us but they do this instead
L warrior main, Gladiator Stance was peak warrior pvp fun and I was sad when they took away our stances after that.
Altho I like SoD and this coming from one of them "classic andys" it gets harder and harder to decide what to main.
I mean it's great they adjust changes quite fast. Because it usually takes them months to do any changes, but they nerf too much.
At one time something if strong (maybe bit OP) and insted of carefully adjust and TEST things out, they dish out 30-50% nerfs, making a strong class almost unplayable.
And at the same time you wanna have a main, whilst also testing out other classes/specs because it's Season of Discovery, aka discover/test things, not Season of Tryhards.
Wolfshead and Catnip are nice, but doesnt change the fact feral dps runes are soooooooo bad. By far the worst runes out of any class in P3.
And still no aoe ….and way to move combo pints to diff mobs
Wolfs Head Helmet. Pls repeat: Wolfs Head Helmet. Who ever started saying Wolfshed Helmet should be send into the mines of Elwynn Forrest.
A fate worse than Shadowlands
More work?
Had a blood moon the other day and I tried deep prot warrior. I don't think you know how satisfying it is to purge a paladins seal of martyrdom and then silence him only for him to lose his weapon for another 6 seconds. Mages losing their ice armor and not being able to blink away. Revenge locking a silly melee Hunter who thought they were in good company. Of course, like any warrior, this only works if you have a pocket healer nearby.
P1 was really good. Got every char to 25 and raided bfd twice a day. But p2 was so bad, pvp become a 1 shot fest, raid was rubbish, quit just over 2 weeks in and seems like everyone I know also felt exactly the same.
and this information does contribute to the video in which way?
@@FE-tb6gvare you new to UA-cam?
Nothing like a comment section for people to share their experiences and have people completely miss the point jfc lmao@@FE-tb6gv
gnomer was way funner than bfd
It's funny that shitters quit cuz the raid got a tiny bit harder lmao. Every boss was so easy they just had 1 mechanic.
The retail Andies are too focused on the meta and damage meters. Uninstall your damage meters, play what you like and enjoy the ride.
damage meters are fine, it's parsing that is wtf stop.
@@sciencethygod dont need a dmg meter to know that shammies are garbage. 2 shots to kill someone???? unreal, how are they supposed to take down an entire 10 man by themselves. #buffshamans /s
i've developed a pavlovian response to the word "pumping" i just get these vietnam flashbacks of those raging parse andies who leave at the first sign of a minor inconvenience 🤣
The whole "parsing" community is so cringe... Its crazy, Blizz should just block the api in Sod and let those shitters go back to retail.
I would love Titan's Grip for warriors at level 60
Who else laughed every time they heard “wolf-shed”. “Hey mom, I’m headin out to the wolf shed to play with my wolf tools!”
Wolf's head, not wolf shed lmao
As a rogue main, it's nice they are adding an aoe ability, which I hope doesn't end up like shuriken toss which deals no damage to be useful, but with the new runes we have seen for phase 3, our pve rotation looks like it's gonna be very, very simple, even for classic
As another rogue main the wrist rune slot actuaaly seems interesting, atleast according the early calculations made by Simonize it seems that raw dps given by cut to the chase and carnage runes are quite neck by neck, giving us situational choise for for laid back SnD always up build or more involved build where you need to keep track SnD time, rupture time and deadly poison stacks. Having to make this choise depending each situation seems exciting, can’t wait to try them out 👏🏻
@@LarGist I was just hoping to add another button to our already simple rotation. Like, make an ability that procs after another one or something. Tracking poisons, bleeds and snd are things we have done before.
I hope it will be fun anyway and we finally get to try other weapons too and not only daggers, which seems to be the case.
@@the_Acaman fair points and I actually agree on you with mutilate/daggers outshining everything else. Maybe there is still hope for buffed saber slash hidden away from data miner gazes, that though would again make rotation simpler with carnage not requiring rupture maintenance
As a warlock main if the change from remove curse for mage go to dispelling magical effect too. I feel I lost a so valuable use of my class, who have a pet restriction 8sec cd on it and some skill to use it. Like do mages really need another utility compared to warlock?
Phase 3 Hype!
2 high pop severs...,? There "is 2" servers, 1 is super high pop (crusauder strike) the other is "lava lash" ( PvE that is already lower than CB) this is bs. Lava lash is not where people want to go, but we dont have a CHOICE... Lava is lower pop than CB (at least when all this started). Also it upsets me that u won't say what the 2nd server is.... Its lava lash, a PvE server. And lower pop.... (and if we go to a PvE we will be stuck there, and wont be allowed back to a PvP server, even if we wanted, BC we got linked into a PvE).Address the situation pls. I know u have made friends with the devs and have a discord with them. But this isn't what the "PLAYERS" want. We dont want trivial bs we want different realm transfers. Thats all we want, stop putting all this bs in front of want we want,.. More transfer options please!!! Please!!!
IMHO I cant wait for lvl 60 heroic 5mans...... imagine TBC style heroic BRD
Fix alliance!! Horde was best faction since ever... Let every one choose racials from both faction and lets see how many actualy would take one shit alliance racial... But why changing something in fav. To alliance in a seasonal exp. Would be crazy I guess for the biggest horde bias called blizzard..
They could make lake of fire a stacking debuff instead, forcing people to use the full duration is stupid. Most of the time you won't be able to do it without having to move. But having it stack, 1 stack per tick and then maybe max out at 5 stacks, could make it an interesting mechanic with a bit more setup
I can play both horde and alliance on Crusader's Strike now! Transferred my horde characters that were on CB to CS(where I play on alliance) and I can play both factions.
That's... actually pretty cool and I feel like is something they didn't think it through lol.
I have the same situation, but opposite factions. Ally on Chaos Bolt and horde on Crusader Strike. Are they really going to let us play both sides?
Druids need thrash. Some sort of feral aoe for tanking, more then swipe (3 targets only) to keep up with paladins and warlocks. Its already happening giving rogues aoe. Dont leave ferals hanging.
SOD is the best version of WOW right now. I have zero interest in Cataclysm.
Hunter speaking -
So disappointed.
We need defensives, not just focusing on buffing pets, screw them they are annoying.
Give us defensives, Hunter is a KITE class, I would accept less dmg but more survivability with DISENGAGE instead of making us a burst class like elemental shaman.
We are at a point when Warrior have charge in combat + intervene.
Rogue have shadowstep + the shadowstrike from stealth.
Mage blink is getting EVEN better, actually INSANE with the new wrist rune.
Teleports back to where you last cast Blink from and resets the cooldown on Blink.
- While Ranged hunters get rune on wrist that do 10% more dmg on traps -.-
So now explosive trap instead of doing 100 dmg will do 110 dmg, wow, what a rune.
If Mage blink is getting even better, why not make a wrist rune for hunters to have ATLEAST WOTLK VERSION of DISENGAGE, I feel like blizzard is trolling us with TNT.
Compare Rapid Killing with Deep Freeze, Mage get one of the best ability ever, while hunter gets a rune that was on TBC talent point tree that nobody was using points on it, completely useless.
Lol why are you comparing mages to hunter? Hunter will be top dps as a melee stop being a knucklehead.
@@twoshacos1box301 Raiding is not the only aspect of the game and is it stands right now hunter is just a melee class with some pet damage, it plays just like any other melee with the occasional trap used. That is not the hunter fantasy and the defining playstyle of marksman is so lack luster right now that it's not even worth playing in any game mode.
Hunters at the very least need the WOTLK version of deterrence and disengage.
Honestly sick of content creators ruining the game. Nobody does any real work to discover anything. Just watch a video telling them what to do. "Creators" make videos about all the good farms I discover on my own or ways to make gold and suddenly 5000 players are doing the same thing. All so they can "create"/ make money off it. One time, people had to put in some time and work to figure these things out.
Many people dont look things up play with them dont tell others how to play a 20 year old game
sod do not need to end. it all depend on us if we play they will put content !!! keep it up guys
Damn. The helm was one of the biggest reasons I was going tribal. I've even been farming thick wolf hide. Thanks, Blizz, for wasting my time.
Dont prep as if its classic
I’m still not 100% sold on glad stance as a warrior main. I understand it does change up some things and encourages you to wear a shield however I still would like to see a rune come to the game that really changes things up. Maybe Titan grip will come one day….
Cope
GS was fun in WoD but not sure what it will feel like in classic.
Glad stance doesn't change things up loll?
The developers are so scared to add new abilities to warriors
@@rodgoesinya9947 what I mean by change things up is they are trying to stop us from dual wield tanking and “change things up” by forcing us to wear a shield. I’ve also noticed that all non warrior mains say that glad stands is cool and will change things for the better but every warrior main I talk to just wants Titan grip or blade storm
SoD or bust for me. But they better make sure shadow priests are viable.
I’m disappointed they didn’t add gathering bonuses like they said was planned. Some good changes here though, hopefully it can bring sod population back up after a losing so many since p1.
I love your content and all the SoD info!!! BUT having said that, I've noticed in this and other videos you have said "wolf-shed" Helm and it's "wolfs-HEAD" helm 😂😅 doesn't matter or mean much but it just irks me a bit 😅😅. Just wanted to point that out. Much love amd support!!!❤
Nice video but where are the moustache?
We only care about SoD !
perma wolves for shaman
I hope they are already working or atleast planning on what comes at the end of sod ...this is their cash cow right now and hopefully they will continue with and expansion or somthing..cause at end of 60 we will prolly be as strong as tbc gear
I'm glad they're gutting fire warlock, makes me as a shadow priest look very stupid with that shadow weaving debuff that no one will actually use.
It seems great for everyone except feral druids. I'm freezing my feral druid for this phase, since they clearly don't understand ferals and/or they just hate it. It feels like playing a retail class that does 0 dps and has no quality of life improvements from retail. They need to face major issues for this class, mainly energy generation (not energy gain through complex mechanics or random procs) and combo points generators. Until they understand this, feral is going to suck badly.
I don't know why some people love the new items for the druids. It's like they're adding a permanent spell (catnip) to your already complex rotation + you have to shapeshift in phase 3. Meanwhile, there are whole classes that use a single spell and do 40% more dps. It's a joke.
Ferals are gonna pump it’s just gonna be a skill gap class, same as warriors, they gave ferals WS and couldn’t be bothered to come up with anything else to actually benefit the class
@@Jefftmartin189 It is already like that. SoD should be more casual friendly, like it has been confirmed by the devs and it is confirmed by most of the classes. I parse 99 with my feral in SoD, but it feels clunky and less fun than my sub rogue in retail. The mechanics are basically the same, except in SoD you dont have energy generation (no, energy gen from tigers fury is ridiculous) or combo point gen/finishers.
@@Jefftmartin189 What I meant is that feral lacks fundamental easy mechanics, compared to basically every other class. No energy except for those 15 seconds of berserk and our shred (48 energy = 3 ticks = 6 seconds) gives us only 1 combo point, 2 if it crits. It's the very basis that's wrong, and giving us band-aids like shapeshift or catnip aint gonna change that
@@Whathefaqs hey I hear you, I play warrior and we haven’t gotten anything that makes the class easier to play, only more stuff to play around, but I know how op I’ll be at 60 atleast, ferals don’t even get that, but I also feel that classic feral Druid was always a high skill class and I do play one, as long as they keep power shifting a key part of the class and it does good damage I think that’s a good direction for the class, but most of the non phase 1 stuff has been very lackluster for ferals
Playing Feral was really cool p1 because of wf, in phase 2 it was kinda disapointing, the Utility was still ok with Brez and inervate more so in the first clears of gnomer, but now im rerolling something else for phase 3 id rather play something else... Other classes have way more to offer imo
zero interest in cata
SOD and OSRS. This is all I need for gaming.
Glad I'm not alone, what an awesome time.
I wonder if they would make other tanks more useable beside the dps spec being just because they can hold threat. Tanks should be best at taking not an dps spec.
Just got a perma ban today, i called someone bad in pvp. I used to think ppl sayiing they got banned for X were full of shit, well be careful out there boys. ill still drop by to see ur videos just wont be participating as normal :P
Bro said wolf shed😂😂 its wolfs head bruh.
I LoL'd 😂😂
It was pretty amazing to see someone's brain work so badly LOL
Wolf sneed helm
It's spring time, Wolf shed season.
When hunters were considered OP, they didn't hesitate 1 day to nerf. When it's shamans OP for an entire phase it's "well a new phase will be out anyway..." I wonder what class the devs like to play?
ahaha man, you kinda don't now warriors at all right, don't you?...warriors can't sacrifice defense for just slight offense improvement (at least in SoD this doesn't work)... we can't survive well now, since everything is so DoT and oneshot heavy. Warriors need more defense CDs (Spell Reflet would be perfect), or just give us even more offense (Titan grip is nice). We are good only if we crit or hit heavily... otherwise it's a RIP fight.
As a warrior main I'm telling you that neither of the Warrior changes mentioned in this video will make this class better in PvP in phase 3. Meathook.. is OKAY not even good (it has 1.6 seconds cast time, range limits, and costs rage...), but all the rest.. it's just BS... retaliation available in any stance.. whooaahh what a boost.. it's 30 MINUTES CD! ! Comparing with the skills/abilities other classes are given that warrior "improvements" are nothing...
"Era of Discovery realms" mimicing OSRS - pull an oldschool blizz and copy someone else but do it better. (For context - PUBLIC VOTING SYSTEM FOR ADDITIONS TO CLASSIC)
So, with the heavy nerf to RB and being forced to use shield, will tank enh even do any dmg at all?
I'm kinda torn on those changes I must say. On one end, enh had 8 ways to play the game
wf/wf, wf/rb, wf/ft, rb/wf, rb/rb, rb/ft, rb/shield and wf (2h). And it felt sweet to have the nuance.
On the other hand, I can understand that it can be overwhelming for players and for devs to balance.
Also, this feels like a big blow to shaman survivability in pvp, losing all that health and mitigation.
Maybe Feral Spirits are not introduced as a dmg cd, but a survivability one, along with the sprint for our lacking mobility?
After all, they were nerfed after wotlk or cata, to be largely inconsequent for dps, right?
I think Mental Dexterity was something that was meant to happen. If 60-70% of your dmg sources do not benefit from gear, there's an issue. People think this rune is crazy strong primarily because enh is currently so good though. And the reason it is good is because of several huge buffs, such as SotB 20% ap, 50% extra OH dmg, big LL dmg (with FT) and SS being super buffed baseline. Before those changes, enh was at the bottom of the barrel.
Jesus Christ, brother. You’re a native speaker. What the heck is Wolf Shead?
It's a shed you keep your wolves in obviously
13:15 Oh, yes, I will be. Besides TBC, the Cata-MoP has been my most-looked-forward to part of WoW Classic. I have barely been able to wait for this day and I can't wait to re-live the glory of these next two expansions all over again.
I've got a 'Circa 2010' music playlist, a playlist of old WoW vids, and a playlist of old shows like Scrubs and How I Met Your Mother already set up for the pure blast of epic nostalgia.
It's going to be awesome.
If you guys ever get the chance to speak to the devs again I have a few Druid flavored questions. 1 - I know everyone is psyched about Lacerate and Mangle but I would be just as if not more happy with Sunfire and Mangle. PvP kitty menace LoL! The choice between the two would be BiS!! 2 - Can you make it so Druids can use Rage Potions. I know it would have to be an in form use but I don't see it being OP in any way, considering out current standing... 3 - Not druid specific but Barbershop. I'd even be happy for the version that costs gold. Can't see this being anything but a win, gold sink for us and it won't cost Blizz a cent. Bam thanks fer coming on down!
The SOD team have been farming "W's" for fun up until the last 7 days, the total debacle of Chaos Bolt and the next wave of nerfs IMO is a massive "L", I really hope this trend does not continue. Knowing Blizzards past history & form, the best maybe behind us :(
Servers like crusader strike and lone wolf aren’t mega servers anymore anymore…the populations have dropped. Just transfer over to crusader and deal with it. By allowing people to continue creating characters on chaos bolt, and continuously maintaining that server for all 15 people on it, it’s just utterly WASTED resources from the dev team that could be allocated elsewhere…all because people want “that server identity”. Nobody gives a shit that you’re on chaos bolt except for you. Just take the transfer, and enjoy being able to find guilds/groups easier. I could understand if it was like OG classic faerlina with asmon and those dudes doing huge events, and there being 10 hour queues…but it’s not. Even on my “mega server”, outside of raid times there are like 50 people per layer chillin in keg across a couple layers. During raid time, a couple hundred.
Thank you for touching on Chaos-Bolt.
We had an amazing community with tons of great names and players. Sure it could be a bit tough to find groups AFTER 1am but it was usually always possible nonetheless. Everyone knew each other or probably knew of each other at the very least. Player names and clan names very recognizable as you ran around the world / cities. Discord was always super lively Alliance, or Horde. Our community is in distraught still and we all agree there should have been alternative methods such as allowing transfers from other servers TO- Chaos-Bolt.
11:12 I have heard the whole "WoW is dyeing/dead" ever since I started playing the game back in WotLK. The only thing that's going to kill WoW is Blizzerd/Microsoft and likely not for a very long time. At the end of the day, it's still one of the best MMORPG games around.
Suggestion:
Plz give Alliance another source of Windfury. Its really hard to find a feral every raid. Maybe change a Pala aura, or even add it to the retribution Aura. On Hordeside its no big deal, but on ally its a struggle.
:D :D :D :D :D :D
Nah
Ferals are already bad dps, you give windfury to another alliance class and it kills ferals all together. They need a reason to be invited haha
There is a fix, make ferals better so players play them. Its no fun to roleplay as a totem, while you can pewpew as a lazer chicken
@@sergtrufanov5565 hahaha enjoy shaman classic feeling as walking totem
I play/ed on Chaos Bolt. You didn't cover one of the biggest problems: they opened transfers, borked them up, and then closed them, leaving guilds half-on CB and half-on CS, and many people screwed for raid lockouts as most of the engaged population fled the second the gates opened. Last I checked, we're still waiting on them opening up, my guild left and abandoned me and several others, so now on the eve of the next content update, I don't even know if I'm going to have a guild to raid with. Many of us are properly, righteously angry about how this was handled - especially considering server transfers are not at all new tech in WoW.
The community and server were/are great. It may be smaller, it may be harder to find groups at 3AM, but there were almost no bots out in the world, AH prices were reasonable, and people were recognizable and, for the most part, friendly. It genuinely felt like an old-school 2004 classic WoW server.
I'm with you brother and posted a similar comment. P3 mood ruined for thousands. And very few people are covering it.
I quit halfway through P2 because my two mains being Feral tank and prot warrior both felt absolutely terrible to play in both pvp and pve. Gladiator stance with sword and board, pummel, meathook, warbringer, etc might actually be really fun to play.
I hope they do something to help with the balance in pvp because bursty metas are TERRIBLE for gameplay because it destroys all form of strategy and people burn out on it far too fast. PvP is wow has always been a rock/paper/scissors type of deal and fights could go on for a while if both players had access to all consumes/engineering and knew the class match ups. As it stands right now, none of that exists and it's whoever can land the first 3 attacks.
Just change Mangle to tome instead of rune.
And gosh dang it I can't get over how adorable Sky is
when elemental is getting elemental blast+ Spiritwalker's Grace? if not will not be fun to play pvp vs wotlk/cata classes. lava bust+ overload is not enough. Badly needed runes are Spiritwalker's Grace+ Hex + Wind Shear
The only thing DPS Warrior needs is a real rune option for the helmet for a spec other than Arms/Gladiator (Fury won't use Wrecking Crew). Ive been tweeting to Aggrend daily about this, suggesting ideas like WW/Slam hitting with the offhand, or even something boring like flat damage increases to some of their rotational abilities.
Tank Warrior probably needs a lot more though, They get some help with the new runes, but tbh they lose out compared to Shaman/Warlock with their automatic uncrittable rune, and their massive amount of armor/health boost.
4:55 I'd be very happy to see it *IF* it didn't have a cast time on the high side of 2 seconds. Makes it almost worthless in the Classic CC-heavy and near-global meta.
I mean, seriously, Polymorph has a shorter cast time. That's kinda ridiculous.
Retail WoW had a few big dud expansions in a row. It’ll take a little bit to re-establish confidence in players who quit to return try WoW out again. I think SoD, DF and War Within announcement has done a lot of good for that. If War Within is good, if SoD remains good and leads to Classic+… WoW will be back in its prime I think.
Instead of asking for nerfs I think the community should be asking for their class to get BUFFED. Nerfs are a slippery slope, Blizz has been down and it never ends well.
First time I really watch you. You are very articulate so comfortable with such a good pattern of thinking, speaking and clearness at this young age. You deserve an amazing career. Goo job. Good luck!
I have to agree on the Lake of Fire Rune Nerf. It was way too much and will essentially kill this rune. Destruction warlocks were doing well but not at the top, there was no reason for this nerf. Especially since it's only used in PvE dungeons and raids,.. no warlock used it in PvP or in open world, this was a strictly PvE dungeon/raid rune.
What is this guy talking about when he says that the community is receiving thunderstorm well look at every single comment whether it’s an official Warcraft fucking Instagram or if it’s on UA-cam nobody is receiving that game. Well what is this? How much is this dude getting paid to fluff up this game and all that’s right, he’s part of Agram’s little crowd and their little bitcoin currency shit
population was not fine, I play in the am, toke average hour plus to find a group, played at mid day, still couldnt find a group after an hour, and at night, same; with that said, there where times that i could find groups after 3o mins. transfered to Crusader strike, got to sm, found a group within 5 minutes. found multiple, WSG and AB groups withing 15 mins. soooo, in my experience, cs was a good move to transfer
I love that you have more ways of getting gear and that youre are not forced to do pve content to get a good 2 hander feks. Atleast when you love PVP aspect of the game. In vanilla i had many runs where 2 handers did not drop and , when they dropped u might loose it to somebody else and then youre stuck with unsopppble force..
Blizzard are really kicking ass , and i dont understand all the complaining around forums and other videos ive seen. They deserve a pokal for this stuff they made for us 🤘
And you guys make awesome videos , this really suit you guys
I really hope at level 60 they create a couple new instanced pvp modes. Like 5v5 small objective based games. Take some inspiration from Overwatch game modes.
Just started SOD and have been enjoying it so far. I'm only level 20 on lone wolf horde and wild growth ally, but definitely will have at least one class to 40 by the 4th, only thing holding me back is server choice. Excited to get to raid p3 at least, i'll be healing as always so dual spec will be great for me to start before I can level up an alt
Meat Hook!? PLEASE do NOT put death grip in the game... knock backs and death grips are SOO bad for pvp...
I feel the stress of wanting to play 4-5 classes in SOD p3. Im druid main for 18 years but ive had so much fun on so many classes its been tough to put time elsewhere for any other versions of wow lol. Means their doing something right with SOD
I'm getting further detatched from SoD it's starting to just be Season of Wrath of the Lich King ft. retail. It just feel like it's far FAR off point off what classic is and not close to what classic+ would be.
Hoping Phase 3 brings out some more dedication in some circles. So far I feel like only half of the phases are actually being played in my group. Don't sleep on Cata if you get the chance. It will be out a long time and offers a lot of what everyone wants in SoD. It's not as "Retail" as everyone thinks it is.
Rested xp guides are for idiots
I'm not a fan of gladiator stance, especially if its going to be tank meta. Stance dancing and stances is a key part of vanilla warrior tanking that they unfortunately dumbed down and got rid of in later expansions. Some classes like mage are getting whole new realizations for playstyles, and other classes are simply being bumped forward a few expansions. People are playing SOD over retail or wotlk/cata for a reason. They need to be careful how far forward they take some classes.
I really feel like phase 3 has enough content to be a whole expansion.
I hope they increase BG rep though especially AB, the ZG logs offer a much better time/effort to rep reward ratio and therefore less people play AB and the problem gets worse.
Warriors getting meat hook would be cool especially if they are getting a thrown weapon with a 5sec stun and already have 3 charges, they are going to be a real menace.
Hunters getting left behind in the defensive department, every class has some sort of really good damage mitigation/ defensive and instead of the disengage every ranged hunter wanted, we get something that seems to push you toward the BM melee meta yet again..
Nerfing soul link for tank warlock is also stupid thing.I don't understand why it cames out of nowhere. The keystone talent of the defensive tree (tanking spec) for warlock being unusable as warlock tank ? God sake the devs was drunk or what ? They did so well since the start and now we got this big L.
Glad stance will NOT be good for PvP . Maybe if we had arena but in SoD every range blows up anything within seconds . None of those things listed in the post will help survive sod PvP
All these attack speed boosts for feral dps are DUMB AF, our white hits are garbage, the main problem is energy generation and lackluster finishers. That being said, the same boosts are amazing for bear.
Ty for existing, Turtle WoW and WoW Ascension (and also others privates wow servers), your gos ideas are being gasoline for SOD!
Nah no pass given to greenfield. Shamans were one shotting well over a month maybe two months ago. Tweeks to ap scaling is easy, they did it to hunters and priest very quickly. This is lazy.
Chaos bolt can transfer to CS(mega server) or Lava Lash (literally lowest pop PvE rp server). It's an illusion of choice
Can you please ask the devs about dead servers like Penance. Its borederline impossible to play with such low numbers.
Cant they jusy merge it with the pvp server and allow warmode for those that want pvp.
But retail is just a mediocre single player game at this point. Sure, I can join in random groups, but there are no "groups". Hopped on a high pop server, and I think 3 people talked total, and they were selling raid runs
I feel differently, best time I've had on wow in years was the release of wrath classic.. cata sucked and it will again. I'm playing sod right now, sod is the only reason I'm playing since wrath is over.
How are you still making a new toon before Phase 3 on a dead server? This is why I say most WoW players are on a spectrum because some of the things they push for are just plain dumb.
Cata is where my guild and I fell off of OG WoW and we're all loving SOD, unlikely there will be enough raiders for Cata.
I come here for SOD stuff lets cut this garbage retail/plunderstorm talk and focus on C+ please and thanks give mages Battlemage rune/ transform me like meta but melee dps
I've been playing mostly SoD; I do a bot dungeon or non mythic dungeon in retail and play wotlk a lil bit but SoD is so fun and phase 3 sounds awesome! ☮
this wasnt an option, it was an ultimatum on the move. By locking new character creation they doomed the server. The pop was not bad it was fine if anything they could have allowed CS to move to CB to even out the servers.
I really hate having to powershift as a feral druid, was hoping theyd do away with it somehow.... or atleast give us a mana rune to powershift more than 5 times :( gore is actually horrible
The nerf to warlock makes me super upset, but I can try and main tank I guess, otherwise Elemental Shaman seems cool, or this also gives me a reason to roll Warrior.
Hmmmm, wonder if Meathook is inspired by Roadhog from Overwatch. Me thinks so.
Im not going to lie seeing Druids get a consumable to release them for permanently using ACP is nice but as a Paladin who is also stuck with it leaves a sour taste in my mouth I hope that something similar comes for paladin going through an entire phase knowing you will not see a wep upgrade as a melee dps is just never fun
