Season of Discovery Hotfixes - 23 August

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
217

Where I spend 4% of the cooldown inside of an immunity for a 5min CD? Anyone with better mobility than hunter/lock/pala without pony can outrun that.

Good RNG there, at least you get a second to play before either dying or still standing at 30-40% HP. Rogues wouldn’t allow you to CC them to begin with.

218

Do you know what my 5min CD that I have to put talents into does? You have higher burst window than a Rogue, you have better mobility than most classes now - while in plate.

How on earth can you justify this nonsense?

From the Original Vanilla developers as they clarified that they created Palas as the tutorial class that should be very easy to play - now has become retail Pala that has everything because people that play the tutorial class never grew up but instead cried their way to the top. Jesus…

219

Warriors have twice the mobility then paladins, it ain’t close, yet you keep trolling about “retpaladins” OP. Obviously a bait account.

221

What is the reasoning behind the Hunter trap launcher change?

  • AV can’t be it. We just played some rounds and nothing has changed.
  • Movement is supposed to be healthy. Well, it sucks because Sniper Training rune exists.
  • Hunters are not the strongest CC class in PvP. As long as Shamans and Warriors exist, launching Frost Traps doesn’t change anything.

The only thing this change accomplishes is making a lot of Hunter players mad because they lost a fun tool and QOL.

FUN IS NOT ALLOWED it seems. I am mad and will reroll :frowning:

I bet its because BRM event and people tossing traps everywhere so it made it hard to enter dungeons… They could of given us disengage instead of tossing frost trap, it achieves more for the hunter and is less annoying to everyone else.

I only wonder how was this a problem but shamans throwing 4 totems isnt.

Cool.

Where are the hunter defensive and mobility buffs?

225

Retail is the version you wanna play bro

226

No, I want a game that is fair.

You cant nerf hunters directly or indirectly.
And give massive utility buffs to other classes and expect the game to be fair and fun.

227

It looks like they can, and most are fine with it

228

Well ofcourse they can.
If they are fine with it, then they are incompetent devs that disrespect players.

But dont worry, my SL warlock is 52. Im already killing lvl 60 in world PVP.
I dont know what im doing really.
But its funny how my skill just went up.

And it kinda feels like retail. Absurd healing, no kiting needed, take it all in the face and never die, while my opponents rot.

229

True, but incredible boring gameplay

230

More fun than being a trap bot useless target dummy free walking honor.

I take especial pleasure in tormenting the classes that were killing me the most. Like shamans. Boomies. Rogues.

231

The fun ones are those locks who send the pet. Its enjoyable twoshotting those as the pets dont get the dmg reduce, or was that fixed ?

232

No me.
Im a hunter main with decades of experience.
I know how to control pet.

In fact, locks have a free pet res, unlike hunters so. Im in heaven. Easy life

233

start by nerfing hunter range then if you want it fair :joy:

Is there a reason why https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=227823/fine-flarecore-gloves are restricted to mages, warlocks and priests? Balance druids have super bad fire resistance gear to begin with and leatherworking does not help. Only high armor, stamina and fr while melee gets AP and crit/hit.
