What types of crests will be aquired in Delves? Ion said that the highest Delve difficulties will trop Heroic level gear so it should be the same level of crests.
Making crests harder to get is such a bad move. They changed the system to be easier and now slowly reverting it to the old system again
One massive class change for warrior I wish to see it the removal of the useless ability called Slam from the game.
As a casual player who has time to only main on class (shaman in my case), I desperately wish there would be a rework for shaman before the end of beta

Don't think making crests harder to obtain is a good idea, once you get to +8 and above you cut out a significant portion of the player base capable of doing that difficulty.

Chapters have been added at this point. I've noticed many times that chapters don't get added until later. Not sure if that's YT just being a bit slow or creators forgetting and then going back.
Me: I like that some of the melee ranges feel various. It's nice to have a little diversity in melee positioning. Blizzard: We want all melee to stand in the same place.
and it will change as it gets closer to launch so i wouldnt put to much into this
I sure wish they would just let things stay in place for awhile. They don't have to destroy the class every weak.
I personally think ret is in a good position in its current state and really hope the reworks dont mess up the overall feel.
Would like Death Knight Death Coil to be one shotter, as in use ase all Runic Power with one hit. The melee attacks are smaller ones. All classes and specs should have one similar spell that uses the power, or rage, or mana at one big hit.

Man... they nerfed lava surge to 15% back in the day. Lightning bolt and chain lightning are so underpowered outside cooldowns. Earthquake and earth shock feel useless - but elemental blast feels awful to use. Crit doesn't scale with lava burst. I love the mastery but it often ignored (except this lava burst season). Also, the core of the class has not been changed since vanilla - [same with resto]. Also also, blizzard treats us like a neglected stepson. Also also also, playing cata classic made me realize how much better the animations feel. They feel CHUNKY, not like a little static shock that is lightning bolt on retail . What do you think?@@Akihito_Kanbara
It was kind of annoying having to do M0 to get drake crests. I assume +2 and +3 will drop “runed” crests, and it’s just an oversight that it seemingly says nothing will drop from +2/+3.
Well so much for the fun with alts like in dragonflight this xpac looks like a huge step back wtg blizzard...
Skelemage is back without the skin :)
*Making crests harder to obtain it going to put off a portion of casual players or those with limited time they can spend per day bothering with the xpac.* Vintage Blizzard 😂😂

So I hope blizzard leaves it the way it is , its hard enough for most people now
Army reduced to 3 min is not a massive change, that is the normal coldown of the ability if you play the class , now its 3 min base coldown and the cdr componet of it its gone...

Truly a return to old blizzard with the trinket changes, instead of addressing the reason for the demand on dps trinkets they just nerf them for non dps specs. I swear balancing around M+ has been the worst thing blizzard has done for the game in a long time, and they don't even get it right which is the problem. Blizzard hyper fixates on healing output for healers and then thinks that is fine but then ignores the fact that this entire xpack disc and holy priest both have needed to use tank trinkets and many other healing specs require dps trinkets to keep up with the damage checks needed. This will be the second season where im opting for fyrakks rage heart and a stat stick over any healer trinkets (outside of ward in like one dungeon) and this will still continue into the next xpack because healer trinkets almost always are horrible hybrid damage and healing ones or just objectively worse then defensive options of a tank trinket or offenses of a dps trinket. The bullion system should literally just be a mainstay for every season just cap it 2 items and you get them week 4 and 6 of the season. "They stop needing those trinkets in a tanking or healing environment" Yes because healer trinkets are terrible or insanely niche and tanks at the start of dragonflight where complaining so much about not feeling "tanky" that blizzard made almost every tank unkillable, which btw is why every single dungeon has a million random aoe blasts that nuke the parties hp because tanks literally don't need healing until world first lvl keys or progression raiding. Yes keeping them in dedicated lanes would be good, if blizzard didn't make one of the most popular modes in the game entirely around going fast which forces tanks and healers into needing to do damage. Nobody is going to opt for a trinket that provides 1% of your healing over something that can provide you 20-30% increase in your overall damage done inside a key the only people who will likely don't realize that healers and tanks are vastly overtuned that the only way people should be dyeing is lack of defensive usage or oneshots through defensives.

Heroic raid (at least the later half) should drop aspect crests then.... all heroic raid gear requires them to upgrade. Nobody without is downing mythic bosses before their hero gear is close to max lol shit some people are still struggling with their final boss on heroic with maxed hero gear lol they taking myth gear out of vault drops from M+?
If I'm a healer that is expected to also do damage then the trinkets are ummmm. ??
I'm really thinking of switching from DH to Hunter but damn Hunter is one of the few classes even more neglected! It just really blows my mind why some classes get so much work and others so little, it's not good for the game!

They said they didn't want the Emblem system, yet this is exactly the same but with harder names to remember. "Let's confuse them" - Blizzard
I mean these can't be classified as buffs or nerfs honestly. There's a lot changing and you don't really have a baseline to compare to be calling them buffs or nerfs.
What this is all old news
Bleh, I like DPS trinkets on my tank and Healer trinkets on my ranged dps. And no DK or Druid on the new race? Guess I'll level one and never use it, lol.
Seems like the classes are reworked, so just start any class because they're all new again. Worse than when we started Legion. Or, am I overthinking.
Tanks: highest mobility in the game. Highest defense in the game. Highest healing in the game. Strongest DPS trinkets in the game. Also tanks: omggggg stop taking everything awayy from usssss 😭😭😭😭
So glad for the trinket change. It really grinds my gears that so many tanks or healers were using Beacon and taking it from dps. It's an unarguable fact that a tank with beacon tanks worse than one using a tank trinket, so why did we let assholes keep doing it? It should be a kickable offense to purposely use trinkets that make you worse at your role. it's fine in meme quick runs you don't need to work at, but often I saw idiots doing it during progression for actually no good reason other than to feel like a big man with one big number every 3 minutes...
well Tauren paladin makes 0 sense and we got it , so why not nelf pala which would be exactly the same as having tauren pala. I dont mind them scrapping any " have to make sense " and give all races all classes.
I just will just be around to check the changes in the first season to see if they did the same mistake they did with DF, which was massive reworks on failed attempts, really bad talents trees which still seem bad (current ones and to a lesser extend TWW) which should never be on live otherwise why would you be paying to basically beta test in the live version because DF was rushed af and it seems TWW is getting rush as as well. See ya in S3 i guess, not falling for the same stupid trap again.
I loved going for higher dps as tank and dmg items as a minigame. And I could play dd specc more easily. I do not like this change. It minimizes player choice. Do more dps trinkets and not tank trinkets that no one wants.

Don't care what the Hunter changes are if they get rid of that awful Gear appearance
I don't get the crest change. Nothing is stopping raiders from also running Mythics, so why does it matter how the upgrades are obtained? There is no exclusivity preventing them from going the "easy route" to improve their gear while making the Mythic raid easier between lockouts. Sounds like a change that only benefits a small percentage of the player base, and a return to the age of elitism. In simpler words; a dumb change.
Blizzard way of thinking, "oh it ain't broke, let's utterly destroy it and piss off as many players as possible while we're at it". They won't be happy until they kill the game and run everyone off.
the trinket change is bad nobody wants the tank/healer ones because you outscale the need for them.

The current talent tree is kinda stupid, you are forced to take the first ones to get to the middle, so how is it really a talent tree then ???... I liked how it was in Shadowlands that we dragged the spells in order of my choosing to make the talent tree, but did not like that we had to loot them as randoms, NEY for rng ! Have them spells all listed, and i wil drag or activate the ones i like to use, depending if i do; pvp/pve/questing/warmode. For arena it might wana take strong single target and survival spells.
Please let them be not shut decisions
Beta? More like Alpha, some of the bugs are just unbelieveable, the Warbands bank for example was most definately not tested at all before they put that in the "Beta".
Why can’t they buff the first mage more it’s the weakest mage even fully geared smh
I think aspect and mythic vault should only be for 10+
I feel great about the trinket change..they need to keep it..DPS can finally get our trinkets we need. Instead of tanks stealing our trinkets..
Oh noe, not mandatory flying in raids ??? That just creates more toxic players to make these special routes, and if you dont know the route you be kicked out or cant simply find the route and cant join. Tanks skipp patrols is the issue.
How come you didn't say anything about demon hunters? Maybe no change but, you went in to hunters and they didn't get changes.. not even a mention for dh? Guess not a real favorite class? Just a noticeable omission..
Don't forget that new hc dungeons are the same as M0 before. People are used to reaching max level, instantly queueing for hc dungeons like in old expansions and gearing. Many super casual players would find themselves getting smashed by sudden M0 difficulty especially with their low ilvl. Imagine queueing for hc in the first week and being unable to clear the dungeon because 3/5 people are insanely casual and can't do it. This way is way better, it's literally the same as M0 before.

so bastion of light gets a really hard nerf as 5 double holy power vs 4 extra gcd is trash compared to 9 free holy power uses with no added gcd. light of the titans also seems like a massive nerf. and trhe wake of ashes camera thing is bulllshit. its making it less playable... when will blizz stop this crippling. it's why the whole evore is inplayable too some mechanics i cannot controll because of the way i plau (mainly mouse). make it a fucking OPTION why are people in life allergic to ffing options. Not everyone like this camera based shit. There seems to be a whole lot of nerfing in timers which with shit like a gcd is terrible we need longer durations not shorter. And the melee range just need to be hight by default then as frankly life as a melee with all the garbage on the ground is hard enough as it is. either that or dps needs a MASSIVE buff for all the time we cant do jack shit because we are forced out of range. this expansion liiks like a no buy so i can play other games for a few years. they seem to make a shitty expansion every 3rd or so.
