Just looked it up. The gay stuff Kalec and the dragon in azsuna have you running around doing M+ and shit. Would explain why I never did it.
Yeah I started it on each character and decided against it. I'd do it for Lazer bear if I were a druid though.

Polygon Interview with WoW Devs
Polygon
sat down with the WoW Devs.

  • Void elves will have a short-range teleport as a racial.
  • The team is thinking about bringing the faction conflict into dungeons and raids.
  • BfA is also about the world dying beneath our feet.
  • Progression of the Heart of Azeroth is not spec specific like the artifact weapons.

So they say that want to look at to nerf Goblin jump and BE Silence, then add a teleport to another race

OKAY then

Part of me wishes they never changed classic zones with Cata and just added flying and new zones. Would love to level up in classic zones with the new level agnostic approach (up to 60).

It should be a teleport in a random direction like that old bard song in EQ.

This is the stuff that I hate about blizzard. Rocket jumps already on a 5 minute cd I think and it doesn't trivilize content. Hell even on kj it just allowed peple to make a mistake....

The be silence I have a feeling is being looked at bc they're trying to nerf all the aoe stuns as well. I think it's all tied into trying to make competitive m plus runs...

blink is way more powerful than rocket jump or BE silence (in a raid).

You could cheese so many mechanics with blink. In NH Trilliax beam, elisande circles, in tomb mistress tornados, sisters lunar thing, KJ knockback. in all of those goblin boots only made the KJ Knockback trivial, if you look most guilds who bring shadowpriests or DK's on their KJ kills are still swapping to goblins since the fight is a shit show of poorly designed mechanics.

BE silence is an entirely different beast in M+, the people pushing 22+ keys are all race swapping to BE just to have access to 5 additional silences.

Nah its not that it allows people to make a mistake, it allows people to ignore the knockback competely if you trigger the rocket jump right after the orb hits you dont move at all. there are some nasty overlaps that turn into bursting dreadflame, and focused dreadflames right after orbs. if you have a raid of goblins literally nobody moves during those orbs and it eliminates having to spread for mechanics.

Noodle I've asked that question alot... especially when people roll stupid teddu bears... I mean tauren.

Sum I don't know how often the knockback goes out on mythic but I'm assuming more then once in 5 minutes? So it doesn't triviliye it so much as give you a 1 off pass? I think the truest thing said was some of the balancing in tomb was way fucking off and they should be looking at that instead of nerfing inability that's once every 5 minutes already

BE silence for paladin paladin for an example, you're simply at a disadvantage if you're not a BE on horde (granted not a large one) because you get mana back from it. 3% mana isn't a ginormous amount but when you have 6 minute fights, that's 12% of your mana pool for free and it can make a pretty significant difference on longer fights it's essentially a free mana pot.

That's not counting the silences in high m+ play and pvp.. I'm fine with that skill being nerfed a bit. I'm also fine with it not being touched, I really don't care I'm not rolling a twink elf

yea it goes out quite a bit, but you prioritize it for a few specific knockbacks. the 2nd tank add in phase 2 is the one we usually use movement abilities (blink, goblin boots, disengage) because right after you all get pulled into the tank dispell a bursting dreadflame goes off and it can 1 shot people on mythic. if you use it there usually you'll have it up by the end of the fight to cheese an obelisk knockback as well (the fight generally takes ~11-12minutes for most guilds) we lust on the pull and had our lust up when he was at 15% for time reference.

yea i agree, some of the fights are just not done well in tomb. ive raided from vanilla through icc in wotlk, and then casual until late wod and the worst bosses ive ever dealt with are mistress and KJ (both equally terrible, and for different reasons)
