[Prot] WoD/Legion Alpha Discussion

[Blythe90]

A moment of silence for Seraphim and SoT, as well as the fifteen minutes this guy just wasted.

It's a prot discussion thread, man. We're discussing things about prot. Specifically the current changes. It would be incredibly foolish to create a new thread for every little topic.

Yeah because first and last post on the front page of a subforum should have a 14 hour difference. Makes sense to make everyone read through a bunch of pointless posts to get people's opinions on changes.

Might reroll Warrior. Get a 4 button rotation, ridiculous damage, and one the most reliable AMs in the game.

Well. guess im running Holy Shield and SoR for my raid tonight... screw trying to run ES.. I honestly don't think its gonna be fun trying to change seals every X seconds

The change is happening right now. As in, whilst we type this. It's within the past 30 minutes, we were talking anyway. Makes perfect sense to just continue.

You'll notice the last few pages have all been "FUCK FUCK FUCK" anyway with remarkable consistency so you won't have missed anything.

It's not. It's everything that was wrong with Vanilla design; just pointless busy work rather than engaging and interesting decisions.

Seraphim nerf is live on my EU realm

I may have missed it. Is SoR still up in the air? Meaning, is that our current go-to until the nerf?

Yes. It does approximately 5x the damage of SoT discounting Censure. SoI is still worthless in meaningful content.

The real and depressing irony is that Resolve scaling is so poor that SoI literally gets worse the harder content is, rather than the opposite. SoI has a somewhat meaningful impact on what my healers need to accomplish on Normal Butcher where he tickles me for sub-50k per melee attack.

On Mar'gok, where I'll get casually melee'd for 250k? Yeah, no. You literally can't tell whether I'm in SoI or not at all. It's just a worthless Seal atm.

The nerf is here. It's already got us bent over the table and some of us aren't realising what's about to happen to us.

SoR for pathetic damage and SoI for pathetic healing. You choose. You can have Pile of Shite A or Pile of Shite B. Alternatively you can continue with Truth and scream MORE DOTS down mumble. The latter may well be useful.

Blizzard drinking dat "tanks should be tanks!!!" kool-aid.

MAKE THREAT GAMEPLAY AGAIN THEN. Otherwise, don't act fucking surprised when bored as shit tanks resort to playing the DPS game.

I'll take Shite Sandwich for 100 Alex.

My name is actually Alex.

This just got a bit weird.

It seems to be the order of the day for this expansion though. Sadly.

I'd go test if it's live on my realm, but my freshly formatted computer is still downloading Stormshield.

Can we stop using this thread and make new threads for specific discussions?

It's really annoying having to comb through all these pages of posts for information, it's not what forums should be like.

Are you the forum police here to tell us how a forum 'should' work?

It's wrong that forum regs have a discussion about a major change that just happened? You're nothing to this forum, so your opinion on how it should be run means jack shit.

[Saybel]

Time to go try and big dick in LFR and see if I get dissapointed

Will update post with eventual dissapointment

Spiritual Attunement as our source of mana return!

Hmm, this sounds probably a little too rude. Like I understand the slightly snarky remarks but that one might be a tad too aggressive...

I mean, walk into a thread with 20 posts total and start demanding people do things your way like you're Putin and you've got nukes backing you up and somebody is going to call you on being a Major League Dumbass sooner or later.
