I hereby name this tech lunchbox
Huge L for blizzard. Poor veng. Has not been good in any content in years.
man, I was so excited. I am a DH main since Legion and usually play Havoc but got into Vengeance the few weeks in anticipation of a great tier. Sadly the rug pull had to come. It just can't be that a different tank than Prot Paladin or Warrior is meta. Maybe as a compensation lower the recharge time of Fiery Brand from 1 min to 45 sec ?
Blizzard time to buff Vengeance or rework the spec. either will do actually, people will never be happy with this kind of change myself included. Something I looked forward to playing around with in Mythic+ but not anymore... Rework it like you reworked Paladin.
Another cool idea that was scrapped entirely instead of finding a way to make it work.
*pulls up a chair*Hey VDH, Bear here. If you want to talk or rant about the state of your spec, we're here for you. We're good listeners and excel at posting funny pictures of bears to make you feel better. It's ok. We're here if you want to talk.
So,High-level micro intensive play style which rewarded high level, skilled play was dumbed down because it wasnβt intuitive for βnormalβ players. Iβm sorry to say, this is just gaming in general. There will literally βalwaysβ be a better way to do something. Removing nuanced gameplay because it isnβt friendly to unskilled players is idiotic. Yes, Lunchboxing acted as a soft gate to higher level content because it requires a fair amount of game knowledge and personal skill to pull off. You know what else does? ANY HIGH LEVEL content. β-Bad change. Idiotic rationale. If they applied this to something like Discipline priests, the class would be back to just spamming bubbles, because managing dps CDs and atonement is βtoo unfriendly to casual playβ.
Okay, can somebody actually explain what "lunchboxing" was? Because I have read both posts and I don't understand how the interaction changed. Before you had to strictly focus fiery brand on one target, because otherwise the spread would bug out and basically get rid of a major ability for a while. But can't you still focus fiery brand just as much on one target?I also don't understand how people can be exited about a playstyle that means if you do a misplay you effectively lock yourself out of a talent for the time being.
If they want to do changes like this Veng needs help elsewhere. With worse payoff, they need to at least make the Brands spread faster so you aren't stuck kiting or overlapping CDs at the start of a pull because you explode if you don't.No other tank needs to pop multiple defensives on pull to not die because their DR has an arbitrary ramp attached to it. Warrior/Paladin get to jump in and Demo Shout/Tyr the whole pack instantly yet DH has to arbitrarily wait 10 seconds for theirs to spread so they HAVE to Fel Dev as well on pull.
Clearly Blizzard wants only prot pala to be the meta.
