Class Feedback

[redikolous]

I didn't see this posted, so I decided to post it here.

Blizzard seeks player feedback.

The link above goes to WoWInsider, which has links to each of the class threads as well as links to the European threads.

I wish there was a ticky box for "I like clicking ticky boxes."

[ghosts]

Crap I forgot to italicize the proper things.

YES PLEASE to the shaman AOE. Especially for enh. Coming from my main, who's a demo lock with insane AOE, to my enh shaman alt I feel like I'm sitting there twiddling my thumbs in AOE situations, or else frantically tabbing through all the mobs to get Flame Shock up for Fire Nova.

This has happened to me. I was in ZA as enh, and we were on the dragonhawk boss. After, the mage was like, I hate when shammies don't use their aoe! And was like, I don't have any.

He was like, yeah you do! Fire Nova, Chain Lightning, Earthquake...

The sad thing was, I had been using Fire Nova and Chain Lightning, and he was utterly serious.

Using my mage for this

PvE

If PvE, what type of PvE? [Heroics/Raids/Other]
Leveling, Heroics, past-Raiding.

What are your biggest quality-of-life issues?
This is more-so universal rather than just one class. In BC, Shadow Priests were the only class to provide "Replenishment", then that was given to other classes. Resurrecting can be done by anyone and their mom if they are in a large enough guild: where is the variety? Why must everyone have what everyone else has? It is, I feel, what makes classes differentiate and feel truly special.

What makes playing your class more fun?
Honestly? Melting faces, and Shadowform.

What makes playing your class less fun?My new "rotation" that is primarily based off of RNG. It is no fun starting a boss and waiting for a Shadow Orb to pop, only to have bad luck by it showing up twenty seconds after all of the other DPS classes have used their cooldowns/ramped up their own DPS

Times I've used Mind Spike:

- Sons of Flame on Ragnaros when asked to DPS.
- Other required burst DPS on low-health adds.
- Disc PVP. Don't get me started on Holy Walk. Srsly.
- JC Elemental Goo Daily.

... That's it.

I use Mind Spike while doing my MF dailies. MS x3, uber instant MB, and if that doesn't kill it, SW:Death. And it's generally waaaaay cheaper to do than dotting everything up.

Also, it's really useful on Majordomo Staghelm when he does a leap that's on the other side of the room and you're suddenly out of range - throw a MS on the cats and when he comes back you've either got a fast or instant cast MB.

Oh and on Omnotron - very good for dropping dots off any of the boss guys so nothing ticks their shields.

It's a limited use spell, absolutely - but if you're not really using it ever, you're not trying to find the right uses for it IMO. (No offense, just my personal opinion! D:)

[centuryeyes]

Oh, so.. it is good for Trash? Even in raids? Pretty much - just - trash. No offense, but I am all set. Mind Spike was intended for something better, and we ended up with a "kill trash with something else" spell.

Oh gee, Blizz...

[ilesere]

I put the second one. I clicked it because it's true. Whenever there is feedback stuff like this the players who actually THINK about their answers are overrun by fools who want their favorite class to be the best and so it makes everyone look stupid. Why would devs pay attention to a bunch of short-sighted selfish idiots?

These things never work. I should have clicked that box too.

/cynical

[redikolous]

I'm somewhat cynical because the shaman one was overrun with people who never use Stoneclaw...in PVP. Not to mention if you're enhancement there's nothing to put in one of the glyph slots except Stoneclaw.

I'm hoping that the devs look at other community resources like popular, researched blogs, because they usually have posts like this, and they do more content so they have specific advice on what needs to be fixed to bring specs in line with other specs in the role.
