Glyph of traditional windfury

It’s awesome to see whats gonna happen with ascendance models, and the ability to keep your older form through a glyph.

I checked out the new animation of windfury on the PTR, and my god is it bad. Windury from 2004-2006 in vanilla had an amazing animation/effect. In tbc it was reworked and the new animcation was also great. In Legion (i think), the animation was reworked into one of the worst i’ve ever seen.

I got very excited when i read that WF is finally getting a new animation. But this is just a joke. Please just put the original vanilla or tbc WF animation in a glyph. Or make a modern tornado animation for WF like it deserves.

I find the 11.0.5 significant upgrade since it will give a sound effect+the animation, and it gives u the “wind fury” vibes.
The old days animation rocks but the dmg is mediocre for many expansions now, so for me atleast it wouldnt give the same “chills” being almost in a perma tornado for what?.

feel like the tornado would be more subtle than the current 3strike combo with sound tho.

But thats why i ask for glyph too. More options can never be bad. Players deserve more ability customization like in POE. it’s never bad letting the player chose what they prefer.

Reminder that current Gust of wind animation is old Windfury animation.
It’s low res and outdated, is it really what you want ?

No I would prefer a new tornado animation, with better graphics. But the old WF animation is better than the current one and the upcoming one too ngl

Sorry but this is a retail forum, on a retail matter. You can express your opinion on the topic, but you can’t tell me what game to play.

Oh, so you don’t want traditional windfury ?
I think that what you think of Windfury clashes with current Enhance gameplay.
Back in Vanilla Windfury was a huge part of your damage breakdown, and it made sense to have it big and visually impactful.
Problem is that in retail, Windfury isn’t as potent as it used to, and having a big animation for a minor buff becomes problematic and out of place.

I agree that windfury is more minor than it is on classic. But considering what u are saying is true, the new animation coming in 11.0.5 will be very annoying considering it has a sound effect triple hit combo that will just overpower the acoustic experience.

I wouldnt mind the old wf animation, it doesnt make a sound and it looks good (to me). I don’t expect them to change the animation they plan to bring next patch, which makes me want traditional wf as i mention above.
