Ion intervew

How? Are the 5 targets in a group of 30 mobs randomly hit? So 3 AOE spells from 3 different casters could hit the same target 3 times and nuke it down. Which results in less amount of targets and higher chances of hitting it 3 times.

seems so chief if your cap is 5 targets

if speed of killing 1 group of 15 and 3 groups of 5 is the same why do 1st option ( tank and heal have to deal with 3x more pressure for 0 benefit )

How do you know it’s the same speed? Have you seen the new cap in action? Let’s wait and see.

Of course not, you asked theoretical question and got answer with basic common sense in mind which exlains why your idea of maths is wrong

Some spells wont have cap like consecration, or have 8 cap like hunters Volley, so there is bound to be some options for high skill groups to take more for some classes or chainpull smth but its not the general rule

what you do then is tell blizzard that your realm is dead and that they need to merge them, this is what you should ask for, not a system that restrics what we can do. I’d give you my full support, there is no excuse for how bad some realms are right now in terms of population and they should merge them.

So Ion’s answers were good AND bad tbh

. Titanforging removed and no replacement is GREAT, best thing to come out of this. Finally deterministic gearing is back AS LONG AS they don’t make sockets RNG.

.NO master loot is rubbish! Why does it matter if guild groups can make master loot groups. IT’S THEIR GUILD. I would like group loot and round robin back too.

.Pathfinder not addressed. I would like to see flying go back to TBC system where you have to unlock slow flying and then fast flying and they cost a sht ton of gold like 500k or something for slow and 1 mil for fast. The only issue with this is then it would be pay 2 win because of the shtty wow token. So alternatively, they could create a currency for shadowlands that can be earned through anything just like gold (killing bosses, vendoring items…) and that could be used to buy flying.

.AoE cap is only for certain classes/abilities and to create powerful nieces. I like this now we understand. At first, I hated this news that aoe cap was 5-8 but it turns out that was misleading. They aren’t aoe capping the whole game, it’s just certain abilities like in vanilla. Warriors gonna be 2-5 target cleave gods again whereas frost mages still gonna be 50 mob pack destroyers.

.Still 4 difficulties (not spoken about). I would like normal mode removed from raids and rename heroic to normal and rename mythic to heroic. (And ofc remove LFR in an ideal world but it will never happen so I don’t bother considering it)

.GCD happy as is. BAD. Ion’s deathstrike example is irrelevant imo, the issue comes from popping multiple cooldowns. I know as a fury warrior popping reck feels so clunky and slow.

.They want covenant choice to effect player power. I agreed with his answer personally because it is an RPG at the end of the day, min max should not always be taken into account and unless they are going to reskin all 4 abilities to match every covenant’s aesthetic then I don’t think they should do it because it will look rediculous and the argument in the first place is that ‘‘I shouldn’t be bound to a convenant for power because I don’t like its’ aesthetic’’ which doesn’t make sense if ur willing to have, let’s say a night fae ability, as necrolord. It will ruin the aesthetic either way.

Also, should the devs remove classes and racials too because they create inbalance? Frost dk worse then fury this patch, guess we should just give frost spec to warriors to make it balanced. Ion’s argument is that convenants will be a package of bonuses, so it will be impossible to determine which one is the best at all times. Possibly what might happen is mythic guilds might select certain members to certain covenants so that they have that utility for the raid, so like mayb make one of ur dks go necrolord for the spam grip and then make the other go night fae or something.

Master looter solution is easy - give master looter to pure guild runs, all other runs get personal loot. And if your pure guild run gets a person from outside the guild, the loot system immediately changes to personal loot. That’s all. Master looter is for guilds and guilds should be free to run themselves as they want.

because you don’t have to join their guild if you don’t like it. Agreed. It’s this snowflake mentality people think the world has to bend around them.

There is no restriction if the (dumb) trade restriction is removed.

Was on point for the example he received tho. The host asked for the prot pal self heal to be removed from the GCD, so Ion replied with the BDK equivalent. Makes sense imo.

As for the GCD changes… Tbh I would be fine if I had only one CD, but gotta admit that having to waste 4 GCDs on getting enrage, siegebreaker or whatever is the name of the +10% dmg increase talent , reck and lastly BotE just feels bad. Or whatever is the right order for the fury burst rotation, barely played mine after reaching max level.
