This is why I play Guardian Druid. I had to retake 4th year math again in 5th year, WoW DPS is just way too much for me.

The math is the least of that spell’s problems. xD

I encourage you to come up with some more. Let’s have some fun

You are not a true wizard (Arcane mage) unless you have spent years studying the intricacies of magic (the rotation).

Are any of these talents mutually exclusive? My Excel sheet needs to know.

Of course not, and each of them only costs 1 talent point.

They’ll be giving you a job offer soon at this rate.

Insert a couple of typo’s and a grammar mistake and you’ve nailed it.

All these echoes made my head hurt…

The only echoes I wish to hear from this moment on are those of my masters’, in the Deep Dark Beyond.

Glory to N’Zoth! Drink deep of his voice. :octopus:

By the way, this was a good one, Ishayo. I legit chuckled a little, all these spells are so complicate now.

It’s not a true modern WoW ability if it’s not a Monk mechanic given to a brand new class.

Well I neglected to mention how large an area would be hit by Echoing echoes, how long the spell’s cast time is, and I described a louder volume as a “higher volume”. I also made sure to give the proc an exclamation point at the end of its name, leading to confusing grammar.

So when do I get the job?

11

Blizz sent out the offer on Tuesday.

Unfortunately you were made redundant the next day.

It better be Stayin’ Alive by the Beegees.

Just imagine Aliiiiiiive echoing in the dungeon hallways. For everyone in the group obviously. It’ll be glorious!

But yeah, that did my head in. Just like some of the current rotations :smile:

Seems like a good cleave dps potential

Can’t add Pokemons, Nintendo will sue.

On point!

But don’t forget that with the next patch echoes won’t be the best talent choice unless you have the two set bonus which adds 5.1 Dolby digital but once you get X haste you’ll want to cast echoes only on Tuesdays

Yes. Love the part where set bonuses require an otherwise optional talent.

And of course that will be added in hotfix 1 of the .5 patch.

Seriously though, I’m sick of this. Why can’t my spells just be simple and fun and reasonable in number? Why is my rotation 15 spells, why does every talent cost 1-2 points so I have 50 of them, why all the procs and visual vomit. Sick of it. The game is stressful. I can’t play it when mildly tired. So exhausted.

Perhaps you could elaborate on what the actual issues are?

Is it that you have to pick one (or low number) from all those talents?
Is it that you need to pick all of those talents to make this echoy thing be good?
Is it that it’s too convoluted to know whether or not any of these talents are worth taking?

I don’t play mage and don’t know what issue you’re having here.

18

I mean besides the fact that it’s meaninglessly complicated and generally annoying?

It blows your speakers and lags your GPU and then crashes the server.

The fact you can’t tell shows the problem with the current state of things. This reads like anything else in the game atm but it’s completely broken.
