this isnt looking good for my BM hunter.
The renaming of Saber Slash and Run Through are pretty weird- this is such a nautical expansion, I figured they'd lean into the pirate stuff. Instead, Outlaw is sort of creeping back toward Combat.
Yoooooooo!Blizzard actually listened to some feedback! Disc priests finally get Holy Nova and Soothing Mist for Mistweaver is going back to a castable spell!
Mistweaver back to WoD gameplay huh...
Rip mistweaver
AoE on Disc and an easy way to multidot on Shadow not tied to void eruption/insanity? Gimme gimme.
so theyre gutting outlaws flavor as well as its gameplay? what in the world is going on with blizzard and rogues?
YES We're getting our soothing mist back to PvE. It was such a huge part of the feel of playing MW. I'm really really glad they bringing back that playstyle!
Hm, what's up with removing all the Legion follower data? Are class hall missions going obsolete in BfA? I guess it makes sense - they're going to disable gold missions anyway, and other than that there won't be any reason to come back to these missions at all.I hope this also means monks can finally go back to Peak of Serenity with Zen Pilgrimage. I liked that place much more than Wandering Isle.
I literally just read the patch notes for Outlaw and thought the same thing. So sabers and running people through with rapiers was too 'class-fantasy' so INSTEAD we can change the names of the moves to names of previous moves but NOT be the same moves, so it is still the same, right? ...This is probably the laziest thing I have seen as far as my class has gone since they removed Combat. Dispatch is well known to be an execute-type move, but now its just a combo point spender that does EXACTLY the same amount of % damage as Run Through. Okay. Hm.
ARE THEY REMOVING EFFUSE AND ADDING SOOTHING MIST BACK?Is this really happening? That would be the best change they could make to Monks.
They're stripping everything from Followers, Ships and Champions. Is that going to affect alts or be something that happens at certain thresholds while leveling?
Hmm I'm not completely on board with the Outlaw changes but at the same time the name of the spec says it all... Outlaw doesn't mean pirate but more of a Street thief/gangster type, which fits with the gun abilities so it's not all bad for class fantasy either. But the biggest news is that they took notice of MW feedback! So glad to see soothing mist back as a spell! And the uplift mechanic back and baked into a better version with Vivify! This is just great news! Also can someone explain me the change on the legendary cape? I can't seem to see any...
