How are we feeling? Despite it’s blatant pvp flaws it’s been the best vanilla experience especially for an enhancement shaman enjoyer.
I agree, it’s on the right track. Only sad part is that they clearly have no vision to take this where it needs to be
The best version of Vanilla to date.
Ive been enjoying some parts of the game for sure
Whenever they release a version with Tank Shaman, I’m in.
SoD is great, ngl.
there are some blatant pvp balance issues, but the pve game is stellar, albeit a bit too easy-leaning.
i’d like some more challenging engagements, and i was hoping AQ would deliver on that cope, but i tried it twice on PTR now, and it seems to be literally just vanilla AQ with some affixes thrown in that only serve as minor annoyances.
for example, there’s a debuff that spawns poison pools under everyone, so you constantly have to move, but that’s hardly a problem with all these instant cast spells.
i won’t be able to go back to vanilla after having played SoD and i’m pretty sure fresh will die in like 2 weeks, if its not already dead, because i have a feeling basically everyone save for the classic-est of andies feel the same way.
rose tint will wear off soon.

I agree with you, SOD met my expectations.
Phase1: 10/10 vanilla reminded me of the times and beauty of this game. perfect improvements in the form of runes, BFD as a raid and warsongs. In my opinion, it was a blunder that blizzard did a great job of.
Phase 2: 9/10 continuity, the new raid was great and I also gradually fixed the error in the population size in PVP, I missed 1 boss content.
Phase3 2/10 total failure, unplayable easy content. no new elements in pvp or pve. This phase is why the whole community ended. This phase did not bring anything new and 90% of the population on all servers ended…
Phase4 7/10 nice comeback and try and revive after dead phase3. Great ideas with upgrading items. Many new things.
Phase5 8/10 first attempts at affix and HC content, new combinations of sets. I really like this Patch. But there is a lack of a community that would play it, also unbalance in pvp and pve… warrior is again the preferred class and it is not worth playing anything else
I did enjoy SoD, but classic is the superior game. SoD is not really a classic version of the game if you ask me. It is way too linear.
I would say SOD is unbalanced retail with classic content
Weird version of vanilla that went downhill after phase 2. Not for me.
