I think they should add a spot for as many as there are classes. I have 8 characters that I like to play on, and there certainly isn't 8 slots. But, baby steps, I suppose. Maybe they will add more slots as time progresses.

[@Leeoww]

I think character select screen rewards should not be locked behind something too hard, should be the reward for like story chapters or the new raid story mode! My two cents.

[@erichall090909]

I don’t think having a couple being rewards from difficult stuff is a bad idea as long as thier are plenty of easy ones to get

The sustain nerfs feel needed. A good tank shouldn't go down easily, but a tank also shouldn't be 1st or 2nd DPS, top healing, and never seem to struggle. Obvious exception for out gearing content.

The biggest problem i will see is that players will hit need on every gear item to get their Transmog that they don't need on their main character . That will take forever to get gear that is needed , especially in LFR . I believe Blizzard needs to bring back personal loot .

[@StanislavTsanev]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Besides that I really hate the current loot system. The personal loot system was way better.

[@emptyforrest]

people are already doing that

[@CodeMerk]

​@@emptyforrestIndeed, this happens non-stop with pugs as it is, so no change will be noticed. Just the nature of the beast. I personally prefer a loot system where everyone gets a random loot drop, with the possibility for trading, only if the player already has said transmog as well, but some people really despise the idea for some reason. Ah, well.

Oh god. Anytime there's a shift in "how healing feels" it fucks things. Healing should be more fluid, I hate how whack-a-mole it is these days. There's no nuance in conserving mana, it's all just idiots standing in things and healers being forced to deal with it.

[@rhysbyt]

Higher health pools should make it feel less whack-a-mole. People standing in things has always, and will always continue to be, an issue regardless of how healing is designed.

[@TECHNICIAN-13]

One of the easiest ways to make gold is selling ore or herbs on the AH at the start of the expansion.

[@NicholasLi10]

In prepatch everything will change

[@yeye1600]

Using Felblade to pick up soul fragments is stupid. Why? Awkward cooldown, Felblade is also a mini defensive now, making it even weirder to press for anything but that. Why couldn't they just make blade dance retrieve fragments, it's literally a motiom of dashing around, and doesnt feel awlward to press since you can always use it.

[@elfagottist]

I always wonder why when they’re rolling out big changes to UI and such, why don’t they roll one thing out a week so if something’s wrong with it, they can focus on fixing it instead of figuring out which thing is having the most issues and constantly having to fix everything at once

[@camsmyth101]

[@Dewbah22]

[@tigerfist1126]

I want to say somethings here since Blizzard like to locks up this conversation in forum about Early Access . What Blizzard is doing wrong for as Early Access is to let players get ahead of everyone else for 4 days . Which is hitting level cap , doing most of the quests , doing or getting ready to do H Dungeons , getting ahead in professions , and more .... This is truly unfair to rest of the players who didn't buy the $90 expansion.

[@butterflysrage]

I have a world quest question that I've not been able to find an answer to, maybe one of you beta folks can help a player out :) Are there any elite subzones/world quest areas? I'm talking like the Black Oathstone area in Waking Shores, Zaqali Caldera in Zaralek Cavern, etc...

[@gleem111]

Look, I am aware of what Blizzard said that you were reading from when you said that single target heals were being buffed. They did not. They raised health pools again without any adjustment to single target heals of healers. Aside from the light sprinkle of Rdruid buffs, the only thing in the patch notes were healer nerfs, including holy getting absolutely gutted. If you ask any hpal they'll tell you that Herald of the Sun was absolutely bonkers OP for a hero talent tree. The problem is, while Herald was doing 90% of their healing, that was still barely keeping them competitive at healing. Gutting Herald just leaves Hpal in a shattered state, and at least so far, they've done nothing to compensate. So, yes, sure, Blizzard has said that they're putting more emphasis on single target healing, but they literally have not done that at all.

[@FeralKobold]

Yeah this is just how it goes, same thing happened before. Inflate HP, but keep damage profiles the same so people are still spiked for 80-90% of their HP. It means less than nothing. Meanwhile no buffs so now healing just feels weaker and worse and the problem we've been complaining about with personal defensives being too common and too strong is even more amplified further reducing healer agency. Healing is going to be very rough S1.

[@KiloCee]

While they still have time for tuning, it seems that only the meta healer will be worthy of selection and even then it'll be a daunting task to heal. I imagine S1 will find itself very short of healers who are brave enough to continuously wade through the toxic pool of mouth piece M+'ers. Leaving only those die hards, dead-set on tunneling through solid diorite. Slow starts and hotfixes will be abound week one.

[@coryaustin7379]

They really seem to fucking hate healers lately.

[@erichall090909]

It’s always been the same issue the damage profile in raid and dungeons. They never address that and try to patch the issue with health changes it doesn’t fix it

[@gleem111]

It's so dumb. Healing in raids is too powerful because of the sheer insanity of AoE CDs. They keep raising health pools to nerf raid healing. But that's seriously not how to fix the issue. It just exaserbates the M+ problem instead, which is that a single healer just does not have enough CDs to keep a party alive (the only thing propping up M+ now is the sheer overwhelming nature of everyone's defensives, DR, and self-healing). You don't need a healer in M+ because they do so little tangible healing as it is that they're replaceable. Blizzard needs to 1 cut defensives across the board, 2 reduce healer CD potency, 3 buff healer sustain healing (especially single target sustain). THIS will fix the issue. It's what all the top healers are saying. It's what many other healers independently concluded on their own too. But Blizz will not back down. I don't know if they're afraid of the backlash or what. But instead they just leave everything in an absolutely broken state. Some of the single target sustain heals legit need to be buffed 3x or 4x their current potency to even make a measured difference in keys.

[@Omgitssynd]

Is crests gonna be accountwide? And flightstones

[@erichall090909]

Highly doubt it. I’m all for alt friendliness and would like the option to send them to Alts after a while in each season but I don’t think them being account wide from the start would be good

[@phunkym8]

i dont get why damage buffs in the form of secondaries arent mixed like with argus. half of the specs couldnt care less about 20% crit

Are ALL gear rewards Warband viable? If not, how has me having to run all my alts to get decent gear changed? yay Warbands!!

[@gleem111]

Doing certain content has a chance to give you equal ilvl warband gear, but that only seems to apply to outdoor stuff. With raids and M+ you get warband gear 1 track lower, so doing mythic raids the best warband gear you'll see is heroic. I honestly feel like it's a waste. Either I'm playing an alt, at which point it's doing the same content my main is, or I'm not playing it, so it doesn't need gear to begin with.

[@yeye1600]

​@@gleem111what are you talking about? Skipping a big part of gearing being able to get decent gear will help no matter what. Unless all you do is lfr at max lvl, then it doesnt matter either way

[@baggaween4893]

Bc that’s logical to have people do lol you are just complaining

[@gleem111]

@@yeye1600 Typically once season 2 hits it takes me roughly 5 hours or less to go from just hitting max level to being geared enough to do heroic raids/equivalent keys. Warband gear will do little beyond that point, and the speedup of warband gear to get to that point is minimal. I really don't know exactly what "big skip" you're talking about.

They are removing the pvp tab in the weekly vault but are buffing the amount of honor/conquest you get in matches. The idea is that players won’t feel conflicted on whether to pick between a pve or pvp item.

Sounds good to me. Healers might finally get some long overdue love again in groups. But solo players will hate these nerfs unless health pools are big enough so they can eat/drink between fights to heal up, just like in the old days. 😊
