Is WoW really a tab target auto attack game 100% of the time?

[Orby]

WoW combat has already far removed itself from what it originally was. I miss WoW's more slower paced combat, but I seem to be one of the few thee days.

So how exactly are you supposed to hit priority adds behind the boss etc with spells like fireball ? Will force you to move and make the game shit to play. So no thanks.

I want wows combat system in more games. Not remove it from wow

"Let's make it so WoW is no longer WoW, and becomes even more of a Diablo style action RPG"

"Because that's what the world needs, more action RPGs"

But that's exactly what Blizzard has been doing since at least Legion, taking lots of elements from Diablo and crudely stitching them into WoW. Only very reluctantly did they walk back on things like skills pruning, and even then they just slapped e.g. Frostbolt on all mage specs and called it a day.

You just described guild wars 2. Go play that.

at least ff14 gives you a middle ground between NW and WoW where you see graphed attacks and can run out.

What are you on about

FF is a tab target MMO

I mean, when I want different combat, I play a different game. It's fucking ridiculous to want the game to adapt to your whims.

Honestly how combat works in the game itself is something they haven't mucked up too badly. Class balance and design may change and such, but combat is very snappy and quick.

FF, which yes is still a tab target game, feels very loose and floaty.

What's up with trying to change the core of a game?
Play something else.

Personally, I'd love it if they just made WoW into a roller coaster simulator.

Text based dating sim or no dice for me mate.



To the OP: why? I'm not saying it would be bad, Wildstar basically had it, and that part of the game was fun, but it would be a completely different type of game

You want it even slower than now?

I know perceived time speeds up for you old farts but come on..

[Jester Joe]

I'm legit confused by this.
What abilities are you using that don't require a target? There's a few aoe that don't sure, but there's also a hell of a lot that do.

Best we can do is transform women in bowls of fruits, take it or leave
