The Mald Walker put it up quicker
I think you’re referring to Benedictus and Anathema for priests as changeable weapon? 🤔
Dont blame dks, we slow and always kept knocked down compared to all, we get a minor glimpse of something then get smoothed back into the grnd. Lol
If they'd let SV's Arcane Shot benefit from Raptor Strike effects and cost the same as RS, plus give us Multishot and let it work like Carve, they could be ranged. (With a couple other tiny tweaks)This would allow people decide if they'd prefer rdps or mdps. You know adapt, synonym for survive. That'd give SV a unique flavor too. And then they could have Sylv Bow
10 commercial breaks? Unwatchable on mobile man. Don't like this.
That trinket you mentioned is Queensguard's Vigil, I was using it on my bear for awhile. And yeah it procs a fair amount when things are hitting you, it would work good for farming legacy content. You can get it from various things in Ardenweald, sometimes WQ's. https://www.wowhead.com/item=181458/queensguards-vigil
Not sure why you thought Preach was going to be full negative. I have found he is pretty professional in most his interviews.
I think sims tend to show that Ion is correct, but I think pull size and enemy spread really make a difference.
Looking at your damage meters is usually a snapshot and hard to see. Overall at the end of a key or boss is usually within 1-2k in my experience as gear is acquired.
Account-wide sanctums would be awesome (like, for each covenant).
I can’t take Mike seriously with those hair plugs.
Lol I see that tiny face LOL
Blizzard: "We want to curb the behavior of players pulling giant packs and mowing them down."
Also Blizzard: "Here's a timer you can only beat by pulling giant packs and mowing them down."
I still don't get why Ion is so considered about people changing their Soul Binds whenever they want.
I also don't understand why they didn't go back to more of an original 51 point Talent Tree – that would have been super popular and super easy.
I think the ilvl scaling curve he was talking about was more to do with PvP and people being one-shot. He mentioned shortly after he said that he'll have to talk more with Venruki to get the context, and he's a PvP only player for the most part. I think the context was around alts that aren't geared and trying to climb the ladder (while they're getting geared) playing against people that are 15-20 ilvls more than you.
blizz doesnt want people to play survival, just like in wod where they didnt want people to play demonology.
Excellent talk!!
In Vanilla hunters have Rhok’delar and Lohk’delar. For a good amount of time you could transform one into the other. It magically repaired any damage to the weapon when you did this. But they eventually split it into 2 weapons. This was kinda nice having the 2 weapons and both equipped. Still have mine and the Quiver
I have account wide unsub so I'm good now. 😆
35:18 Seriously Ion needs to say that at the start and end of every damn interview because people really be bitching about stuff and calling for changes without giving a damn about other players.
Time walking mechanic for mage tower!
best thing about this video is the time line and i can skip to what i want to hear and skip all the needless chater .
Huh? You can literally just do a 14 a week, then log off, and get max mythic ilvl. Especially by now. That doesnt take skill.
Your missing the big picture here. Ion agreed with alot of issues, but had ZERO actual fixes on the horizon. Most of the suggestions you just proposed are not anything he said they actually have upcoming. Actions speak louder then words. Fixing these things a year from now doesnt help.
Thanx The Bob'Walker.
I’m: doing something else on my phone while your video keeps going
You: randomly singing at the end of the video
🤣😂
In FFXIV you can level every class on 1 character, and even they don't just GIVE you gear for your alts, for having gear on your 'main'. Stop being lazy and get the gear. Stop whining about "catch up mechanics".
Wow is ALL about repetitive game play; World Quests, Mythic + Dungeons, Raids, PvP. You play Wow, you are accustomed to doing the same things over and over and over .etc… Having to redo a Covenant Campaign on an alt is just par for the coarse.
give us wearbares bring back the sound effect of shield of righteousness
I think the item you mean is Benadiction the healing Priest staff in classic that can convert into a damage staff called Anathima for Shadow priests.
@ Epic vanilla "2 mode" weapons: In vanilla there was Benediction /Anathema for Heal /Shadow Priests, which was quite awesome, and there was also Shadowstrike /Thunderstrike for all polearm wielders, which was just generally an all around POS, regardless of which "mode" was active…. And hunters had Rhok’delar /Lohk’delar as well, which was IIRC decent, at least until it became 2 separate weapons 😉
Soul the priest staff changed in classic
17:26 "Someone who has an item level of 225, or 230…"
CLEARLY HAS FRIENDS. ftfy
@Soul: I think we can all agree, by now, that this game's longevity and replayability have always been mostly guaranteed by re-rolling. Fact is, time commitment is key and people simply can't (or won't) spend hours upon hours in obnoxious chores to prepare the Nth toon. All in all, letting players feel that any extra minute they spend in game is worth something, through account wide progress, is THE way to go.
16:15 – I disagree with your observation about ilvl reflecting skill. Thanks to the idiotic PVP gear implementation, any chucklehead that can stand doing yolo rbgs was able to get to 220+ within the first couple months, easily outgearing both m+ and heroic raid. I have people in my guild at 225+ that grey or green parse because they just aren't that good, but can get carried in PVP. (I can't stand PVP personally, and mostly rely on m+, which Blizz took a piss on…)
Mike was saying he saw the item level power gain from people he raids with
Preach killed AMZ nice 🙂
You end of vid bumper was awesome need more.
