Why is "Dazed" still a mechanic in the game?

[mstg]

So I run to a WQ destination on mount, and some mobs at the same level as me which I can kill in one hit, dazes me and knock me off my mount. I mean come on, if they're elites in a dungeon I can understand, but mobs on the world map? This is so unnecessary and an outdated mechanic.

[Tack980]

to be honest, I like the mechanic. Makes world pvp hilarious as a Hunter.

[prwraith]

Can't stand the mechanic. Granted I don't play anymore. But Daze was just fucking annoying.

I've been asking this question for nearly a decade now. The answer I always get is it makes the world feel dangerous and keeps you from running past everything. I don't understand why they can't just make the mobs do more damage if that is the goal. Plenty of other games do it fine without this mechanic.

Fuck daze. It wasn't an issue in WoD because you could just get the stable to remove it, but in legion it's annoying as fuck.

[Nnyco]

you can always buy the item from leatherworking, grab the dk/pala mount from orderhall, equip your silly prydaz or roll tank spec to make yourself daze immune

[Jipples]

We are talking about a community that couldn't handle hopping off their flying mounts to enjoy the game the way they wanted so they forced everyone off. I'm sure some form of "but but but muh world rp" will come out. Meanwhile the devs couldn't be happier playing off those people cause it artificially extends the life of their content and gets them dollars pumping in as long as possible as people have to spend more time running from point a to point b than what they do at point b.

Daze is only in the game because Blizzard powers their servers on the salty, salty tears of QQers.

Buy a shit-ton of that no-daze consumable if it matters that much.

[Destinas]

Considering there are ways to get around it, I have to wonder why it's in the game at all at this point as well. At this point, I feel like Blizzard just wants it around because it's always been there, while giving people who really care about it a way to get around it.

It's probably as deeply ingrained in the code as the Standard Backpack.

It's probably as deeply ingrained in the code as the Standard Backpack.

Probably this, and also was a non isue for the flying xpacs

[Schizoide]

It isn't. We know they can disable daze with a simple aura from the leatherworking item and WoD stables aura.

I agree with Syro; daze didn't annoy anyone in pre-WoD expansions because they could fly at max level anyway. And in WoD, you could just get the stables. Legion is the first expansion where it's right in your face.

And yeah, it sucks. I always go tank spec for WQs due to daze.

Stonehide leather bardings. Incredibly cheap and plentiful.

Its only 2 hours, that is nothing. 24 ok, 2 - no.

Play tank. What is this daze of which you speak?

So you can't just ride through mob infested areas like it's nothing.

unles you play tank or have prydaz

Tanks need that mechanic because getting dazed while tanking in pve can be a wipe.

Which it utterly fails at. If you get dazed with a bunch of mobs on you it's nowhere close the instant death some people seem to think, what actually happens is either a) you use movement abilities and just keep running and mount up again when you drop combat, or b) take a few seconds to AoE the mobs down, and then mount up again. Dazed is just an archaic "feature" that doesn't serve any meaningful purpose.
