god bless you for putting chapters on your videos ❤

I like the lil overall commentary at the end, would like to see this happen on all future patch note vids!

Always appreciate you staying on the cutting edge of these and the insight you give!

Let’s be honest. Ret aura being gone is 100% Max’s fault. Just like dk AMZ getting nerfed last expac. 🤣

Saddest part of ret aura being gone is my free wings uptime in lfr Also shoutout the legendary MDI bit from that one Chinese match where they died on cooldown, someone made a joke about wings uptime, and the ret pally immediately died. I don’t remember the exact quote but that whole match is by far the funniest wow esports moment ever

Still think it would be interesting to have multiple classes share a raid buff. So you have a little more flexibility in your comp instead of being so locked down. But happy to see basically every class having one at the very least now.

It would be nice if Arcane was competitive and entirely viable in raid and dungeons, but they seem to nerf it continuously when they see it being top DPS and I don't understand why. It was so fun on beta and heading towards solidifying a spot at the warband campfire. As to the Shaman changes, I tested it out on enhance as Stormbringer and in general it feels great.

the sanlayn nerf hits blood pretty hard now the other hero talent (forgot the name) is looking much better

i love rogue changes

Alas poor ret aura, we hardly knew thee...

Greetings. Wondering. You know if anything is coming for the Evoker class? See very little patch notes on our class.

I think each class should have one raid buff max, but under represented specs from that class should bring a non-stacking, redundant version of another raid buff, so they'd give you more flexibility with your comp depending on who in your guild wants to play what. Maybe give ret Blessing of Wisdom (5% int), give feral 5% attack power, give survival hunter 5% phys damage. And then give mass grip to dps DK

You know what, you SHOULD go look at damage meters right now. Then when it actually comes out I can watch a bunch of players who re rolled to the highest damage dealers in Beta scream because it turns out you can't trust that info.

Why wont they just bring scrolls back at this point, but just don't allow them in mythic. They keep their raid tuning in place but groups have dont have players that fill every class dont feel like they are missing out.

There's no reason to bring a Frost DK to anything, that's why we need to be doing insane-O damage. FDK should just be that spec that hits extremely hard. No frills, no CC, no kiting, you just get hit hard af and cry out for a healer.

Even with ret aura gone i feel like a 2nd pally is still high on the totem pole for random boppable debuffs

the goat

Rolling back the Mongoose Fury changes was dumb. It was never a good ability, it's even worse now and it's one of the reasons it's one of the lowest played spec. Now you get Raptors Strike at level 13 and replace it at 17 with MB, that's just terrible design.

It's 100% a great idea that a comp is forced for the hardest raid content to bring every class, it is only a problem because you push the content to the absolute limit where it matters more than the rest of us dummies

Can anyone explain to me how warlock are considered to have a raid buff please? I just don't see it. Why would hs be a raid buff and not amz ?

Rogue has been awfully quiet. There’s either big changes coming or it’s gonna be poop

@3:30 to add on to the whole "look more at the playstyle not the numbers" thing, take dh as an example. Aldrachi Reaver is currently doing high single target damage, pretty much only under unholy and arcane when played well, but NO ONE is doing more to try to change that than DHs right now. Why? Because the playstyle is complete garbage. The only people i have seen make attempts to defend its current state are people that admit to not actually playing it or PvPers. We are also very aware that being high up right now means nerfs on launch, and due to how the numbers would show aren't entirely trusting that blizz would nerf aldrachi specifically instead of nerfing dh as a whole. Most DHs would seem to rather have an enjoyable playstyle with low damage (fel-scarred) than have an insufferable playstyle be good for a week before it nerfs the entire class. So yeah, "oooh me play spec doing damage" could be a huge mistake right now.

If you'd be happy if there were 0 raid buffs or scrolls, then you must think it's great to have a raid with only 1 class in it besides the tanks and healers. Because that's what happens when you remove raid buffs. You just stack the top sim DPS class. We already learned this lesson several times thru wow's history, I'm not sure why ol' Dratty has a selective memory on this. Removing Ret aura is a bad idea though. The whole reason it's there is because the tank/healer paladin (which every raid will have) makes ret paladin not desirable to invite. And Blizzard historically ensures Ret is never #1 dps, if it's ever close it gets nerfed. So, that sounds to me like Ret will be back to struggling to find invites in TWW, just like it did before they re-added Ret Aura -- Unless they decide the spec is allowed to compete with the dev favorites like mage and warlock.

retribution aura is iconic... wtf blizzard

ret paid the price again for holy's being mandatory always

I'm once again here asking for warrior utility.

Saying ele is gona be the main way of bringing shaman buff is nuts thing, resto and enhance are looking way better, people shitting on enhance because it got little changes, maybe because it has one of the most powerful and versatile kits out of all the classes in the game being consitant both in m+ and raids and didnt need much ( specially considering they havent finished)

So, are Monks in a perfect state seeing as they haven't received much changes at all the last month or so?

priest has received practically zero changes this dev cycle. i think after the shaman rework its now the least touched class in the game. doesnt feel good.

Warrior devs, plz help us. My favorite beta notes this beta cycle has been the warrior one where they "accidentally" made rally 15% and immediately returned it down to 10%. As well as the notes where they gave cool interactions to intervene only to immediately revert them. Gameplay wise, arms is not in the best place, you are rage starved in execute and the changes to the warlords talents killed both of them. Plz just give warrior anything, move the 2 point nodes around in the class tree capstone, make some of the pvp talents available in pve (battlefield commander or safeguard).

Time to get triggered by the random and not accurate text highlighting. Also, I like the Pirate missing tooth look much better.

All the Rogue hero talents need a rework. Deathstalker is the only one with a decent fantasy and a minimal amount of gameplay. Trickster and Fatebound have no fantasy and no gameplay.

Where the hell are the demon hunter changes? This is getting ridiculous at this point

I feel like ret aura should have just been a personal buff like it was before DF its a shame seeing it gone all together instead they should have reverted it back to pre df with some df addition

Why would you ever choose to bring a ret to mythic raids now ? Holy is now gonna be the only paladin specc that's brought.

it really stinks to see all of these classes get third and fourth passes when rogues havent even really had a first pass since the hero specs have been introduced.

Just as a side note i dont think its worth talking about damage tuning until we get closer to launch. Its all going to changed so frequently personally i dont think its worth listening to. I’m interested in the big changes like ret aura, shaman rework, a whole hero tree gets reworked etc

Yes bye bye aura pal yes now nerf damage of ret and it's good

*insert cope and seethe comment about whatever class is complaining the most here* Your cringy tears fuel me so please stay mad

Stay small, ret paladins.

Ret Paladin doesn't bring anything anyway. Prot was shadow nerfed the entirety of Dragonflight after Voti. making Divine Shield not Ignore any harmful effects. Where the spell text does say "ALL" therefore the balance people are objectively wrong. And this hasn't been talked about at all. Just like all WoW content creators they're biased and ignore anything that doesn't affect their main class.

Ret aura (as it function in dragonflight) was added because ret paladin was never used in raids and had low dps. We are now very likely going back to that if ret does not do good damage like is the normal situation.

If they're touching retri aura, at least re work in some fashion that allows it to be kept in the game. Paladins should have 4 auras to choose between it's deeply rooted class fantasy. Retribution aura wasn't "added in dragonflight" like the video says. It's an iconic old school part of Paladin fantasy. It came and went and came back again, and now its gone ..... again. Dumb imo, but im biased (OG ret pal main). Trying to be overy politically correct about raid buffs like they are at the exprense of a spell/aura like this is tacky.

noooo! my main spec! arcane! nerfs :(

REMOVE ALL CLASS PARTY BUFFS And Meta Bullshet Is Solved

rogues are so dead

The entire RTTWF is ruining wow, blizz now has to design and tune the new raid to be beaten within 1-2 weeks to fit into these few ppl’s budget, for what? For them to get paid and get sponsors? Why should we care?

Here is some feed back for ya. What in the god damn hell are these people smoking? pugs don’t give a sh** about “Utility.” Guilds and Organized groups do. But now, we are straight back to Dragonflight Launch with this sh**. ALL of the utility we bring, comes with Prot Paladin. But oh wait, they have Spellwarding, and we don’t. All of our Utility comes with Holy Paladins. But wait they have Aura mastery… JFC! utility radio edit that! Where is the compensation? Crusader Aura? That god damn spell should be baseline given to you at same level you get your first mount. Why in the blue hell should we have to spend a radio edit talent point on it? Oh do we get it for free for choosing Retribution Spec? Whoopty radio edit Doo! We already have to spend 3 god damn talent points on divine steed, and now DK’s can spend one talent point in one hero talent tree, and not just get to choose between 2 better horses, but the in combat one makes their burst of movement speed now 100x better than our 3 points. Touch of Light. yet again another POS talent, that is laughable that it is even in the talent tree. Two percent leech heals more than that does, and the helm enchant does more damage than it does, and the helm enchant from Amirdrassil is pathetic. YOU need to make Crusader Aura baseline and they need to bring back Pursuit of Justice into that talent node right TF now! Your not giving us a leap, or dash. Judgment of Justice is a Dollar Tree version of Long Arm of the Law. and its on clearance. So we seem to be stuck with this damn pony. Hell why is it even a steed? it should be a goblin or Gnome built motorized wheelchair for radio edit sake! But even the Pony isn’t ours any more. Give us Pursuit of Justice back, and have it stack with Crusader Aura. This is as much Horsesh** as when they put in decimating bolts into destro, and gutted Demo’s demon core return. No its not the same power wise, but its equal in its BS! Hammer of Light. It uses the same damn animation as Templar’s Verdict, and all that happens is a flash of light, and some white Blades of Justice pop up? It needs to be an Executioner’s Sentence hammer, 3x or 4x the size crashing down into the mobs at a bare minimum.
