Does WoW need a modern engine?

[FelPlague]

Yea , you can run around spamming what ever in open world and be just fine . But that definetly doesn't work in high level fractals or raids , nor PvP. There are optimal rotations , DPS meters and gear sets. Even optimal group set ups to make sure boon distribution is maximised.

idk the 8 spells i had as necro where
1 auto attack
2 single target damage
3 aoe
4 aoe drain life

5 auto attack during transform
6 single target during transform
7 aoe during transform
8 aoe drain life during transform

then 4 summon mion spells


and yeah i was doing fine dps just auto attacking then using my abilities on cooldown

Absolutely not.

Reasons for an engine update - graphical overhaul, and performance.

As for a graphical overhaul, that isn't necessary.
As for performance, I think there is a good argument to be made there as to the benefits for players.
Especially those on the lower-end.

If you want to simply increase graphical "prettiness, then you should consider at what cost that comes.
If that actually raises the requirements, then that is only a good thing for a minority while performance improvements offer a non-subjective improvement for anyone who experiences them.

Well there's a lot of possibilities for different builds but only a few are considered optimal. With HoT they introduced elite specialisations , which are mostly a must need (for optimal play , you can mess around with what ever you want in non high-end content ). All the great ones are listed on meta battle . Also I noticed you didn't have a 2nd weapon picked , and weapon swap is a huge part of the game. It basically swaps your skills 1-5 as they are weapon specific. It also triggers certain sigils on weapons. Different weapons also have different combo fields and combo finishers (use finisher in a field for an extra effect ).

Wish it relied more on GPU over CPU

i used dagger and focus as second but i forgot cause i resrhed and it reset eveything

They might as well just make a new game at that point. Something tells me that moving world of warcraft onto a new engine would be a massive waste of resources for a game that's in decline.

So I'll go with a no.

They can keep the look if they want but the games performance sucks for how it looks
