I missed TBC class simplicity

[Tokas]

Have anyone else?
Remember when your rotation was 4 maybe 5 spells at max?
I feel boss fights were a tad easier as well, now both aspects got harder.
I always figured we'd get harder and harder boss fights and not so much rotation complexity.
Not sure if it's just me growing out of those piano mash games, or having 12 skills rotation is just annoying in general.
Granted I'm no serious raider, nor PvP beast, just your average Joe enjoying WoW from time to time.

maybe at first but it got boring real quickly.

[Cuppy]

I totally remember that. Man those really were the days!
Going to practice my frost DK now, darn rotations so long.

[Niwes]

ehrm, wait, what ... ???

Yeah, it took me forever just to get to level 50 on my DK back in TBC.

These threads of course.

Wha...? Isn't everyone moaning about how classes got pruned and are too simple and easy now? :O

[Relapses]

But I swear my Destro Warlock from SWP with just Shadowbolt spam would totally get upvoted and loved here today. It would be called a masterpiece of class design. Especially since I could also top meters with it.

As long as you don't mention the effects of nostalgia, you'll be fine. For some reason people seem to hate being told they're nostalgic after describing it word-for-word.

I remember people making fun of Kitty rotations for Cata launch:


Now I think most classes are like this

I miss WotLK Retribution paladin, insanely powerful AoE/Cleave, immense amount of tools to fuck someone's life up in PvP and ability to solo shit easily.

Sure it can be said that Ret in Wrath was literally smash your head on keyboard or spam the infamous "/castrandom" macro, but it was still a great spec.

To date, WotLK Retribution was the easiest spec in this game I ever played. I enjoyed WotLK content but I certainly don't remember that spec fondly. To each their own, though, I guess.

yeah and those same people the ones struggling to clear heroic mode every week. "haha oh wow this game so easy everything is easy hey look at my item levelllllll" proceed to tunnel every boss with their eyes stuck on the meters.

the reality is nearly every class has more active rotations than ever before.

The pre sunwell ele shaman single target rotation of lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt and repeat was really intense. I don't know how anyone survived back then with rotations like that.

Lightning bolt.

Well, you must love Legion then, because we're movin' back that way.

Chain Lightning was a DPS increase if you had the mana to sustain it.

Beat me to it.

Once they changed how pots worked mid to late tbc (i think) never had the mana to sustain it on long boss fights x(

[Raxz]

I personally don't mind more complicated bosses but less complicated characters (I'm pretty sure there's a very specific reason our raid leader plays BM hunter) but that only makes sense from a PvE perspective. I understand that PvP is kind of gutted right now.

[Lightbull]

Simplicity is great.

Spamming one button over and over is not.
