i expected us to have to deal with this garbage for another expansion.. thank goodness. There are still some that feel very weird to have on GCD. Frenzied regen for guardian and dark transformation for unholy. Thanks for these changes though.

What? Old way GCD was, was nowhere near FFXIV. All defensives and CDs were off cooldown, that's pretty much it. Makes reactive gameplay feel better and offensive cooldowns don't feel like a deadweight gcd.
The only defensive thing that was always on the GCD was deathstrike.
Good.
Now revert the entire, retarded CGD change and MAYBE, I will be able to enjoy my class again...
I see this a lot and it always bothers me. "Nobody asked for the GCD change," is plainly obvious. But what people did ask for is less reliance on "one-shot macros" in PvP, easier-to-tune classes and rotations which were less reliant on raw input and more reliant on actual skill. The GCD change is obviously very unpopular on this forum but I think a lot of people present this argument that Blizzard added it just to fuck with their players while simultaneously ignoring the very practical reasons they decided to use this approach. I will agree that I think the end-result was less-than-satisfactory but it's incredibly disingenuous to say that it was implemented for the sole purpose of being disruptive to players.
If you read the rest of my post you'll realise that I didn't say they did it with bad intentions. It was simply a dysfunctional solution to a problem that didn't exist for high end players. The big issue with GCD changes always was that it was glaringly obvious that they simply wouldn't accomplish Blizzard's stated goal and people pointed that out from the start.
Then again, Blizzard repeatedly worded things in the worst possible ways. Many here probably won't remember this but they literally justified big demo nerfs back in WoD with "we'd rather you not play Demonology" (in hindsight probably to soften the blow that demo would lose meta to DH).

This is a good change.
Legion was one of the best, what are you smoking?
Also WoD had a strong start (and a good leveling experience), it was the post launch content that fell off a cliff.
For that matter, BFA had a strong start, but it also fell off a cliff, especially story-wise. I quit in early 8.1 and only recently came back to finish some things up.
For me, MoP, Wrath and Legion are all roughly tied for best expansion, but for different reasons. Vanilla is mostly good memories.
A lot of this is subjective though. I can admit TBC is a solid expansion but I hated it lol
Sadly, nothing in these dry ass corona times...
Legion made me quit wow for the first time (played since early BC...)
True on the subjective part, I had by far the most fun in cataclysm(but that was more about the guild and friends I was playing with at the time) but it's a split decision between MoP and wrath for my favorite expansion. Probably mop, the raids and class rotations were just sublime in every aspect, for me.
Not what they stated though. I mean, we all guessed as much back then because especially in PvP these changes gave slower, less knowlegeable players a lot more time to react. But even if this was their goal I'd argue that it's still a very questionable decision that overall does more harm than good.
this B team of diablo devs man....
they keep reversing longtime hard thought decisions, from the founders that led to the highest peaks, and then realize it was bad to cancel it and change it back
we're just an ant farm to the new B team that has done legion/bfa/shadowlands
Boy.... Wtf?!?! Trueshot aura is not off gcd?!?! What the bawk?
Good and fantastic change to start healing the self inflicted gunshot wound that was the GCD change in BFA.
Now just need WW to get SEF and/or energizing elixir off the GCD and it may flow well again.
So you're aware that you're equating those who either like or are indifferent to the GCD changes in BFA, to those who are mentally deranged or suicidal?
That'll be a "yikes" from me.

Yea, right. Not going to waste my time since you obviously are not here for a discussion. Moving on.

Soooo... no shaman on the Alliance or paladins on the Horde?
No blood elves?
No draenei?
No worgen?
No Mage Tower?
No 10/25 raids?
No LFR?
Etc, etc....

Just because one-shots existed since the game's inception doesn't mean that Blizzard shouldn't eventually try to fix it, or diminish the problem. And also: saying that the problem existed since the game's launch doesn't mean the problem stayed "the same" or didn't get worse as the game's life went on, too.
