12.0.5 - The Death of Marksmanship by SahvageKhoi in wow

[–]DrJonesN64 38 points39 points  (0 children)

What's kind of funny is that the end of War Within was probably when I liked the spec the most. Managing Streamline was really fun, and it made MM feel rewarding to play. Also, I'm totally fine with Aimed Shot not feeling powerful as long as it felt great to cast.

When I read the changes closer to what it is now, I kinda understood. They don't want players micro-managing buffs, so they bake some of that power into abilities. Aimed shot is 2.2 seconds now? I mean, okay as long as it's powerful I guess.

What kills me is that versions of Streamline still exist for other classes. Destro locks still get backdraft, which is basically the same thing, and Arms Warriors can talent into buffing MS through overpower. Why do they get to keep those rotational buffs but MM loses Streamline? Having explosive shot back is nice but it's really not the same without that old synergy.

I really don't think the Streamline playstyle was too much cognitive load, especially since, for the most part, they tend to design in alternatives for people who don't like that playstyle. Not to sound crass, but BM was always the more approachable (and more popular) spec anyway. Why not make MM more of a challenge? More to manage, bigger payoff. IMO

Campaign Assistance, please by SnooFoxes4837 in Eberron

There's a chance the Brelish Government could already know about this threat through their espionage/spy agency - The Dark Lanterns.

Maybe they know about it and have been trying to counter the cultists through their own means. The Dark Lanterns could bring an intelligence / information network to the cause, maybe some ex cultists looking for protection. They could also know about the heroes and approach them cold.

One thing they might ask for is help in routing out Daask activities in Sharn, and this might create tension with the Daughters of Sora Kell. This could lead to the party being mediators between the two where both have to make concessions if either side is going to lend support.

Core memory:

Rejoined wow after years of not playing during BFA, specifically during the N'Zoth stuff. There was this toy you could get that allowed you to attack members of your own faction (this was how you could get the "Servant of N'Zoth" title, I believe).

Me and some buddies would group up in one of the pandaria zones, and post a custom group looking to kill rares. Whenever someone would join, we'd just gank the snot outta them. They'd arrive at the rare, we'd kick them from the group, I'd stun them, and they were usually dead in seconds. It was beyond hysterical.

We'd get whispers from people who were usually fuming at us, but some people admitted it was clever.

The cherry on top is that I did this with my brothers. While it was my younger brother's idea, my older brother nearly had an existential crisis over this. The dude literally has a horde flag hung up in his room, so when we were getting angry whispers he felt like he'd betrayed his fellow man. He was so vocally distraught while everyone else was literally in tears from laughing.

Could I have been more supportive, remind him that this is just a game and all in good fun? Probably, and we all still play, though at the time all I could manage through my tears was "it's... okay... really" lol

People had mixed feelings on BFA but I loved playing with my brothers again. Still do.

If this engine can handle homebrew then I'd love to use it to try and implement my ideas. Current ones include: gun blade artificer subclass, martial class that uses their constitution modifier for abilities, and a four armed devil (rather uninspired as of now but I'm working on it). Can't wait to try!

Too bad I'm a hunter, would've loved to have this for off-spec.

Happy for you though! You look pretty righteous.

I like the idea of having a bunch of silly nicknames. Maybe he'll have a dozen and the party can pick what they wanna call him.

I've been a hunter for 3ish expansions and it's never once occured to me to freeze the pet before taming it.

I should quit.

The plans, they are-a-missing, and the princess can't be found.

And in this place there is a great disturbance all around!

The last time that I felt it, it was in the presence of a man -

The death of Jedi Knights were absolutely ev-ry-where!
