For casters it makes no sense to enter dungeons beyond experience grind and quest, just one or two stat stick items for healer-mages and the rest is melee weapons and chain mail gear in Scarlet Monastery.
I don’t know what most people think SoD shoud be, but I came back to finally play functional caster class in classic before AQ40 gear.
if experimental means adding some spell damage to a world buff and calling it a day, meanwhile warriors and Rouges do double the damage compared to certain caster specs than im not interested in further paying a subscription just to play an alpha state rework version of wow classic.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed certain aspects of the game, but level 25 was very lacking for obvious reasons, plus Blizzard stuck with balancing each hunter pet individually, reworking the PvP event, and taking a very lazy approach for anything else.
25 is lacking because it’s 1/3 of the journey to 60, what were you expecting? Adding SM gear only for it to get immediately replaced by Gnomeregan gear is a waste of resources and time. Again, this mindset “if a caster isn’t #1 on the DPS meter, it’s terrible and shouldn’t be played.” is just being ignorant
no, it is a fair point as most loot until lvl50 was not designed with +SpDmg . Hence, casters will never be on the level of physical dmg simply by original design
Considering the diff between casters and melee, they should just say 1 intel = 1sp and call it a day.
If necessary, nerf outliners later on.
Edit: and we need to remember all of this is happening before said melees run around with double saders chants. This will only get worse.
Who cares about casters when you have phase 2 warriors geared from SM?
The only caster you need is a priest.
It’s going to be ridiculous.
On the other hand, a group of 5 mages is going to be absolutelly disintegrating anything without even needing a tank.
So we can all expect some hunter nerfs to balance things out.
Oof, you shoulda rolled a warrior, mate.
First of all your opinion is not logical, fact based or on any historical data tapped.
SoD is more sofar than pure classic ever was. The content actually gets capped out alot more missing less and not just speeding levels then a gear flex. I been there at the start, this is beter. Not that that was bad this is just more full.
You spoke about a playable caster pre AQ40? Please explain more so I can understand. Wow is much about how you play and freedom to do it. Example if you DIE in PvP the whole time the problem is not PvP but you. Get good bro or play somthing else.
We had expansion after expansion of blizzars bending the knee to posts like you just dropped that RUINED the core more and more.
Be good Pew pew
And casters starts to pick up past lvl 30, when some get their increased crit damage as well some nice x% more damage talents, new utility spells etc.
Sure, melee will always be a bit a head because melee power comes from their weapons while casters is more the overall gear.
Besides, we will most likely see some quest gear from Gnomeregan probably be SP oriented.
