11.0 needs to undo DF class design

For me the problem is I don’t really feel like I’m getting any choices.

I mean Blizzard just decided to make frost’s new set bonus require Glacial Spike, which is a particular talent in the bottom row. You literally can’t play frostbolt build anymore, they’re just gone. If you do, your set bonus will do absolutely nothing at all.

That’s extreme of course, but honestly it’s all because they’ve made the talents not cost enough points so we can pick up such a large portion of the tree, and it’s almost all cooldowns, and therefore they have a completely independent resource mechanic from one another, making 2 guaranteed better than 1 regardless of the situation.

Resources are dumbed down and we have too many cooldowns due to getting an absolutely excessive amount of talents. They all cost 1 or 2 points - we’re getting twice as much stuff as we did with the old trees. It’s like if were playing with the WotLK trees but the level cap was 110 and the trees were twice the size. This thing is taking up the whole bloody screen.

I just wanted talent trees… I didn’t want this amount of stuff all at once…

i love wow don’t get me wrong on this but i rather have only 6 buttons who are really meaningful then what we have now a ton off buttons and not one that have an impact when used.

DF talents are probably the best iteration of talents ever, maybe on par with Cata, could do with some numbers tweaking to make the different branches more appealing, and removing very very core abilities from the trees to have them be more customizing rather than ticking a checklist of buttons.

No borrowed power, everything is tied to your class. But they REALLY REALLY need to decouple core abilities that have a near 100% pickrate from the trees, especially when they require a specific branch, since that locks players into one specific playstyle because of one button

Easily the stupidest thing I’ve ever read in millions and millions of topics and answers.
Wow.
Oh well, IQ isn’t a requirement in the forum.

Just because you get insulted that I think a certain type of content is detrimental to the game, is YOUR problem, honestly.

There was no need for insults. :person_shrugging:t4:
Not that I feel insulted though. Because I know what my IQ is. :blush:

Haha, seems to me like you did.
I just stated something that should be said; because we should always put ignorants in their place.

How so? Because I pointed out you were being rude by being insulting?
:thinking:

No, you take someone disliking ‘something’ as personal. Which is very weird.
But… Let’s go with your standpoint:

Go away. You’re being rude and that’s not how decent people act. Go learn how to be a better human being.

I’ve just put you in your place. I hope you use it for your own betterment.

I would like to congratulate you! Well done.
This is the first post i have seen that i 100% disagree with. That is an achievement in and of itself!!!

Dragonflight is a great expansion in my opinion. It’s very newcomer-friendly and a ton of fun to explore and adventure

I like the talents we have now i just wish they would add eternal flame back to holy paladin

Undoing one expansion of class design isn’t enough for druid…

Classes in DF are fine, there’s no need to revert or change anything.

I personally would like feral and guardian back under 1 tree to make life abit easier.

Wouldn’t mind. Maybe then they would have a bit more time to focus on that car crash that is balance druid right now.

Whilst I’m not a fan of talent trees in general, I don’t really see the huge difference (apart from losing utility via making me choose) with the previous system where I chose on a smaller scale and had all the other abilities thrown at me as I levelled/hit max level system.

I really enjoyed the rework they did of Paladin and it made my character much more fun to play. It is now a smoother experience than before.

The trees are likely to see changes every expansion to keep things interesting and make people want to continue playing.

Balance is very weird to play rn ngl.

Ok!

Errr I don’t think so :slight_smile:

No. 11.0 needs to improve DF design and take best bits from previous expansions and create something completely new. Also damage and healing numbers needs to go back to 4 digits max.

And devs needs to actualyl play their crap and focus on gameplay and combat instead of that Mythic CRAP.

It has been for a while and at this point, you must either be masochistic or a passionate group killer if you go for balance in M+. The hate you get for just playing the class is infinite.

I admittedly have not experienced this but I do mostly solo stuff lately.

No thanks more of the same dragonflight has set the standard now for new expansions all they have to do is improve on the model they have now and it is perfection
