What’s the point of patching this? Seriously, all the problems in this game and blizzard patches a pull method in SM?

pretty sure eye of killrogg was never intended to have whole instance pull mechanics
What did they do exactly?
And mages were meant to be able to aoe grind duzens of mobs at a time? Solo ZF? lol
@Sneakyfists, the agro doesnt transfer to caster after eye dies, the mobs reset.
Agree with OP on this, Classic is fun because of the broken weird mechanics… stop patching stuff like this, it takes fun out of the game until we have a retail like version of classic wow.

I just don’t understand the point of patching something like that, literally makes no sense. Maybe to make people pick other classes to for SM dungeons?
Not really because instead of a warlock theyre just going to add another mage and body pull. There’s literally no point to patching this besides tilting warlocks below 42
These “developers” have no clue what vanilla used to be like. On top of that, they are clumsy, ignore bugs and change the game according to the feelings and opinions of random individuals. Whatever this is, it is not what was promised.

Agree with Youno here.
Feels like blizz are patching things THEY seem to think is an issue. I have not seen one forum complaining about Eye of Kil’rog, it was doing no damage at all to the game it pretty much just added a useful fun mechanic.
Unfortunately, this will remove warlocks from spell cleave groups opening up another spot for… a mage… meaning dungeon levelling AoE groups will consist of 4 mages and a healer yet some players wonder why there are so many mages.

too bad its 1.12 eh?
oldschool blizzard made it so, that once a mob resisted, it would be out of the blizzard for the whole duration
thus, this wasnt possible until much later in classic (i think it was patched in 1.5 or so, that each blizzard tic would have his own chance of resisting)

i made one, because its 100% abuse of its mechanic
and no classic isnt fun because of the amount of mechanics u can abuse, its fun because u have so many mechanics and skills in general instead of being dumped down to a single spec and professions being useless as hell

Is there a bluepost about this? It could have been unintentionally patched in the same process that fixed another issue.
wtf, you could pull in vanilla! I wiped my guild once in AQ right before twins emp

doesnt change the fact, that the ability itself is meant to be a scouting ability, or do you want to argue otherwise ?
Again, was blizzard intended to be used to kill 20 mobs at a time? No, players figure out ways to use skills in different ways. That’s the whole point of a class. Eye of Killrogg pulls wouldnt even be a thing if mages werent such a broken class in the first place, but here you are, a mage, complaining about it. The irony.
You know what patching the eye did? Now instead of warlocks forming groups for SM, you have level 60’s boosting people for 1 or 2 gold. Good job, that made the game alot better. Im over the SM level range now so i dont really give a crap. But this was the dumbest “bug” fix i’ve ever seen a developer waste time on.

It was being used in an unexpected way to gain an advantage - and there are some very valuable BoE drops to farm in SM
If it’s such an insignificant bug why complain about the fix?
Worthless argument for the sake of complaining
Blizzard, first of all is a AOE ability and it does damage, slows if specced into improved Blizzard.
Your arguement is flawed.
that server sounds toxic af if you will only get invited to most groups as a warlock pre60 just for the aoe pulls with eye of kilrogg. horrible mins max server with no fun lol gg gehennas
Yeah because you cant do the exact same thing with body pulls.
You can - just not the whole instance
You are only complaining because it stops an easy high level farm
Think about it - it’s no big issue in the bigger scheme of things - I’m surprised you would let something so trivial upset you
Edit - as an aside - why did you post this identical thread on the general forum 2 days after you got the same feedback on the Class forum?
So there aren’t mages body pulling armory and cath in 1 pull (armory) or 2 (cath) and selling the runs for gold all day? Ok.
I WAS complaining because there are tons of things wrong with the game, and blizzard thought fixing a pulling method in SM, that literally only is used in SM, was worth taking the time to patch, while people can mass afk report in AV and get others kicked out of the game.
I don’t really care either way, im past the SM level range now. And i didnt post an identical thread 2 days after, you can literally check the dates of the OP’s and see theyre the same day
Yeah. Those frostmages really use SO MANY spells in Molten Core.
Let’s see.
They conjure water and cast Arcane Brilliance.
Then they cast a frostbolt.
Into another frostbolt.
Then they cast a frostbolt.
Guess what’s next? A frostbolt.
Followed by a frostbolt.
SO
MANY
SPELLS!
