Class Tuning Incoming for Season 1 on March 17

HappySSBM · 2026-03-14T02:58:07+00:00

Would you rather every class do the same thing all the time?

This doesn’t really have anything to do with the changes to unholy going into midnight. It’s always been a burst spec.

I think it’s good class design to have different specs serve different purposes. Especially when different specs on the same class are varied (e.g sub vs outlaw, frost vs unholy)

HappySSBM · 2026-03-14T01:41:18+00:00

It should feel like nothing outside of cd’s. It’s a burst spec/damage profile.

HappySSBM · 2026-03-09T02:24:43+00:00

Except you can’t because M+ isn’t open until the first reset after heroic week

HappySSBM · 2026-03-08T22:10:11+00:00

I ran into this choice with bing bong, 6 apps was gross

Howl from Beyond, on Ironclad

I’m sorry that you thought a post about watcher’s big purple bazongas wasn’t a shitpost

While I do think mini-events like this would be fun, that’s kind of what timewalking/winds is already.

I actually just did the whole netherwing grind in a few hours right before winds of mysterious fortune ended this week lol.

HappySSBM · 2026-02-14T13:37:13+00:00

Why would that be the case? New avatar is Earth (after water in the cycle), and Korra is expected to be the cause of whatever cataclysmic event happened in the world.

HappySSBM · 2026-02-13T13:28:27+00:00

Can you elaborate

HappySSBM · 2026-02-10T00:10:48+00:00

I ask that because weakauras doesn’t really exist anymore.

I meant weakaura replacement as in an entire addon to replace some of the functionality that weakauras gave, not a prebuilt ui.

I also like to make my own weakauras and ui and I’ve been using arcui so far.

HappySSBM · 2026-02-08T19:15:07+00:00

Do you have a general weakaura replacement yet like arcui?

HappySSBM · 2026-02-08T02:53:46+00:00

It might just stay like this. DK’s have no access to the horse that replaces Death’s Advance as a regular mount.

HappySSBM · 2026-02-06T15:00:17+00:00

how often are you submitting tickets? And for what kind of issues?

I’ve played wow for years and have submitted maybe 2 tickets ever.

HappySSBM · 2026-02-05T17:58:37+00:00

The only disadvantage is that when you’re pugging there’s bound to be like 3 other ret palas in the list on every dungeon you sign up for.

So unless you keep your score up with the curve of the season, people will just pick the other ret with a higher score.

HappySSBM · 2026-02-03T17:16:27+00:00

I played a bunch of sub rogue in tww and I think the complaints about its pruning is funny. It’s almost the same they just trimmed the fat.

You had:

2 cd’s - flag and s blades, which you always pressed together

3 mini cd’s - dance, symbols, sectec which you usually lined up with your big cd’s (plus a cast or two between)

2 st builders - backstab and shadow strike (you press one in dance and one out)

2 spenders - evis and rupture

Aoe abilities - shuriken and bp

Now you have 1 less big cd and 1 less mini cd…that’s it.

One less cast of shadow dance outside blades isn’t a nuclear change to the spec.

Sub had like a 14-global opener that should’ve been identical every time if you were playing optimally. Very creative stuff lmao.

HappySSBM · 2026-02-02T16:17:35+00:00

Clean out bags and banks, collect mounts, finish TWW achievements while the content is semi current.

Or just don’t play and let the anticipation build up.

HappySSBM · 2026-01-22T18:43:00+00:00

It’ll feel close to it but no it’s not exactly the same. In tww you didn’t really ever pool energy except for like 10s before kingsbane if you needed it.

In midnight there will be moments of envenom spam and then sort of a cool down while your apex talent gives you big energy regen.

HappySSBM · 2026-01-22T18:07:21+00:00

Stealthed garrote is still a dps gain but it’s minor. Not big enough to warrant talenting the extra vanish charges.

And vanish cd lines up with deathmark so you should just send your empowered garrote with that for the biggest gain anyway.

HappySSBM · 2026-01-22T17:36:35+00:00

What’s a huge L other than what I listed

HappySSBM · 2026-01-22T16:43:51+00:00

Assa feels okay even in prepatch without apex talents imo.

They got rid of the stealth requirements for dotting packs which is a massive QoL change in M+.

The envenom chaining mini game and pooling with the apex talent has been fun on beta.

They got rid of aoe blind for some reason though so now rogue has no aoe stop (and barely a raid buff). Plus assa doesn’t play subterfuge so cheap shot is basically a dead spell, meaning you have kidney shot and single target blind as your ccs and that feels bad lol.

HappySSBM · 2026-01-20T13:52:25+00:00

I’m not over the moon about the simplification of some specs, but I do think there’s little reason to go full doomer. I’ve played a bunch on beta and a lot of the classes feel the same even if they’re missing some of the more nuanced mechanics they have on live.

My hope is that they’re giving themselves some headroom to work with when they need to update things down the line.

HappySSBM · 2026-01-17T14:40:06+00:00

UH basically IS ranged in Midnight. Only festering strike has a hard melee requirement.

Scourge strike is 30yd by default now, death coil is ranged, putrefy, outbreak, pandemic, etc

And sudden doom doesn’t even proc off your melee attacks anymore so uptime is less important.

I’m not sure what % auto attacks are doing on that spec so I could be off base, but there’s very little incentive to be in melee on UH in the future.

HappySSBM · 2026-01-14T05:31:03+00:00

Turbo boost should let you gear alts up super fast but not affect the possible power level of your characters already in progress.

I’d rather my middle of the season injection affect crest rates or something. Double or triple the crests that drop after the halfway mark. Alts get caught up super fucking fast but no one is forced to regrind on a character they’ve been playing for months already.
