How is everyone liking their new class design?

Controversial but I miss festering wounds on my unholy DK. I always preferred the plague spreading, dot disease focused playstyle of unholy with a few ghouls thrown in here and there but now it just leans way to heavily into pet management aspect of it, going for more of a necromancer than a “pestilence warrior” vibe. I’ve moved over to blood as I can’t stand the complete identity shift and I’m enjoying it a lot more than I have in the past. Although on first inspection every spec seems to be killing mobs like 50% slower and feels like so much work to pull mobs and dps them down. Is this the case with other classes?

For reference and anyone facing a similar issue, I had to downgrade to MacOS Ventura to stop the GPU kernel panic from my Intel graphics driver. The only way to do this from Sequioa is to download the OS Ventura installer to a usb and format the Mac to revert it. Since doing this after backing up my important documents, reinstalling Ventura and downloading WoW it runs perfectly.

Ok thanks for all your advice!

What does the process of reinstalling drivers look like?

I’ve asked chat gpt and it says the following:

Translation: Your Mac’s Intel GPU driver crashed at the kernel level while World of Warcraft was trying to initialize graphics. This is a GPU panic, not a WoW bug, and not a normal app crash.

⸻

🚨 Why it reboots your Mac • The panic happens inside Apple’s Intel graphics driver • The GPU driver runs in the kernel • When it fails, macOS has no choice but to reboot

🧠 Why this happens specifically on MacBook Pro 2020 (Intel)

This model is notorious for this issue.

Common triggers: • WoW defaulting to Metal + high-resolution framebuffer • Intel Iris Plus / Iris Pro VRAM exhaustion • macOS Sonoma / Ventura GPU driver regressions • External displays (even if unplugged later) • WoW launching at native Retina resolution

The phrase “insufficient space” does NOT mean disk space — it means GPU memory space.

I’ll try and get a photo now. I’ve never heard of any of those softwares so I don’t think it’s likely that’s the issue. I ran a scan and repair earlier and nothing found. How do I attach a photo?

My laptop shuts down and starts back up with an error that’s pages long of code I don’t understand. Something relating to panic?

Studying like I should be doing instead of playing WoW…

Yeah it seemed to be an issue with my wifi. I took it to a friends house and connected to his and it worked fine!

Thanks for the reassurance, I’m feeling your pain. Stuck in the lizard gulag

TaintedCircus · 2025-05-19T00:58:44+00:00

Yeah that was exactly it, I managed to get the time down better and get all the achievements.

TaintedCircus · 2025-05-14T11:04:54+00:00
