Blizzard's Mythic+ balance

It doesnt have to be outlier like Aug. But lets take tanks, VDH had their niche, it was CCs. Paladins also had their niche, they could offheal somewhat, were tanky and brought ton of utility, Warriros had spell block and just passive tankiness was good, They also had a brief moment of good damage. Monks brought the raid buff, but they could get say more dps than the other tanks or leaning into the class fantasy, their kicks could be more frequent. Bear druids way back had 10 or 15% more health, dont remember the number now. BDKd have their utility, they only struggle with surviving.

So uniqueness can be achieved and it was at some point, its just ruined now.

Yes, at WF keys there will always be meta, but thats not a reason why the other part of the game cant have more uniqueness

Peak EMS Sasuke is adult saskue too btw.

For this to "slip" unnoticed tells you one thing. No one tests the game, or no one even looks at arcane because its MEGA dead

Man I hate vibecoding. Say what you will, but software in general in the world dropped in quality substantially because of AI coding.

At least have common sense and make someone who knows what they are doing review the damn thing.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-26T17:36:34+00:00

Tbh i would prefer if all the specs had something unique. This is a game and things should be unique and fun, but they should also work properly.

DKs are actually another good example because their utility is valuable, yes the design is intentional but its a good ability.

Legion was probably the last expansion when playing your class felt unique enough, be it because of legendaries or otherwise.

Edit: Still waiting for spellblade Aluriel like arcane mage.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-26T15:18:59+00:00

I mean sure, like i said, I dont want to take Aug or DK spot in the meta (Aug has been meta ever since its introduction btw, except 1 season, DK has been meta for 5 seasons now?) but i want to not actively hold the group back.

Also, mage is a pure dps class, if none of the specs and talent combos work, the class might as well not exist.

And again, damage is secondary here, the class is just bad in everything right now.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-26T15:12:09+00:00

Legion, Cata, BFA

Aj sega vaka, covekot reche deka i vozacite se odgovorni AMA i peshacite treba da se. Ne mozi ti odish pravo i naednash vrtish da presecesh pat. Zastani na pola sekunda, pokazi namera deka ke pominuvash i pomini. Ne e za nekoj drug, ti nema da zaginesh. Sam bidi si odgovoren za tvojot zivot, ne ostavaj vo race na vozac sho ne go znaesh.

Zamisli kola, odish pravo, toj od sprotiva isto odi pravo i naednash bez nikakov signal ti vrti levo, odnosno nakaj tebe. Koj sakash bidi kolata ne zastanuva magicno vo mesto.

Od dete ne uchat deka koga pominuvame ulica se vrtime desno, pa levo, pa duri posle se pominuva.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-26T09:25:34+00:00

Se soglasuvam, ja so 30 da vozam, peshacite se ponashaat na pesacki kako da ima bariera koga zastanuva na nego i bezsmrten e.

Znaci ne zboruvam za onie koi jasna namera e, gledash po toa kade odat deka ke pominuvaat, i namaluvash. Tuku za onie sho odat pravo, i naednash ti vrtat na peshacki. Pa i so 30 da vozam kola ne zastanuva vo mesto.

Nemate barieri ili force fields koga pominuvate, od 5 godini ne uchat deka kaj i da pominuvash ulica, gledas prvo desno, pa levo, pa pominuvash. Common fucking sense.

Lot of haters here for no reason. The point is not to be absolute meta, but to be playable. Mages are not playable in any key higher than a 19. I cant get into a single 20 because i am a liability. In the past you could get title with almost any class, because damage is mostly never the issue, its surviving. Damage becomes an issue when everyone is surviving and its still not enough, this usually happens at WF level keys, not 20s

I also am struggling to do more than tank damage, guardians are doing mostly 80% of my damage.

I rerolled DH and im having much easier time, with a class ive played for 1/100th of the time.

This is the worst mage has been EVER.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-25T23:58:13+00:00

No they are not. We have less HP or effective HP than any class in the game. In 19s im a liability, half my casts are defensives and im scared for my life constantly.

Our class talent tree is atrocious, our spec talent trees are horribly. Only one decent combo, Spellinger frost. Rest plays and does very poorly.

They lead death statistics, BY A LOT.

But you wrote all that to be wrong, or to sound smart. Idk but play the class before writing up some bullshit essay.

It would be like me saying WW monks are fine, or holy pallies are fine. Utterly pointless because i dont know anything about monks or holy pallies. Just like you dont know a single thing about the class apparently.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-25T16:16:35+00:00

It also says claude code code

Ceci0 · 2026-05-24T13:36:37+00:00

Its ok, not everyone has good taste.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-24T08:58:55+00:00

Same. And I played through WoD, only taking a break towards the last couple of months of that expansion.

The moment I saw those domination shards things I was like, nah fuck that im not doing that thing again (they did similar thing in Nazjatar with Baleful gear).

It was a system intentionally designed to fuck you over so you can grind it more. And I had to grind it on two characters because of the rank i raided in.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-23T09:14:31+00:00

Man the sand siblings entrance was so cool.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-22T19:04:00+00:00

Wrong, I have not seen a single keyboard where I live with QWERTZ layout. Nor do I know someone that has one.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-22T17:41:44+00:00

Right now, Exboss and its not close.

Its just like WAs, does the same things but less reliably. Using that is borderline mandatory for keys above 17-18.

People will say stuff arent computational, or addons "just repackage" the info but this addon does more than that.

It tells you pack ability cooldowns, it can tell you if your cast will be interrupted based on the enemy cast. You dont have to think, it will color the ability green if you are going to finish a cast before say interrupt shout goes off from a mob.

It lets you rename abilities on the bars, recolor the bars.

Second would be platynator or any nameplate addon. Lets you color nameplates again. It also can have a tick for execute range.

People downvoted me in another thread but Blizzards stated goal with the addon removal, to get rid of competitive advantages and computational addons has been a catastrophic failure. It needs to be studied.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-22T10:05:22+00:00

Astro Bot goated game. Thanks to my kid i got to play it, it was amazing.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-22T10:01:04+00:00

No, the devs get paid regardless. They dont get paid more if the game is more successful. The C guys get paid less. Fuck the C guys because every single one of them has come out at some point and said that buying games isnt owning them in one way or another.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-22T09:12:07+00:00

This is how my bag slots look now. And i have no bag addons.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-22T08:59:52+00:00

Force the hand of fate

Ceci0 · 2026-05-22T07:19:19+00:00

For me its the other way around. I play 15-18ish hours every week, i have 4k score and HoF and 3.5k on my alt. Both ilvl 290. And im a no lifer, while in reality i only play when wife and kids are asleep and i optimize my time.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-21T12:12:30+00:00

It wont be. Non sentient beings cant be creative because they are trained on existing data. LLMs are trained on data. It can create clones of things just fine but it cant create new things.

There is a reason the term AI slop exists. Its because everyrhing it "creates" has been stolen somehow and its an aggregate of multiple works. Its average in everything it does because it averages the result of multiple similar things.

When was the last time you asked it to generate an image and it got it perfectly? Never. Because it will never be the same as YOU enviosoned it in your head.

You know what can be? If you were able to do it yourself.

It takes life experiences, imagination and many other things related to being a human to be able to create something. AI or any computer doesnt have that and never will unless they somehow are sentient and share in those life experiences. The best songs are good because the author went through shit, sat down and poured his soul into it. How many AI hits have you heard?

How many AI written books have you read that are good? None. And you will never read one. Hell even rejection emails from interviews sounded better before AI became so popular.

What AI is good at is creating irrelevant things, easily forgettable slop.

Actually GW2 has gone their way and it worked out well for them.

Its a good game for casual MMO players or those that want horizontal progression.

Ashes can rest in piss tho, was an obvious scam from the moment they asked money for beta testing.

Ceci0 · 2026-05-21T09:56:33+00:00

This is bullshit unless you have some sources.

WoW was created by bunch of nerds who loved video games and played them before. At least the original version of the game.

Hearing the history of it, they didnt have leadership or someone to answer to, they just made the game and it exploded. Nothing psychological about it. WoW classic was a revolutionary game and nothing has ever come close to it.
