Sometimes the mechanic is necessary so that a damage rotation requires some ramp-up instead of just being at 100% from the first swing. So we can't get rid of every single case. The idols (and all similar pieces) are i...]]> DPS Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:33:19 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767557794-just-get-rid-of-dodge-and-parry-altogether.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767557794-just-get-rid-of-dodge-and-parry-altogether.html Ghostcrawler : I think the way you end up with conclusions like this is by following a chain of logic such as: 1) I am a tank. It is my job to survive (among other things). 2) It makes it easier to survive if I avoid spike damage and otherwise make it easier on my healers. 3) I can avoid spike damage by emphasizing health and armor over avoidance. 4) Therefor...]]> Tank Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:20:03 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710551636-question-about-1v1-balance.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710551636-question-about-1v1-balance.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: Right now, healers are lot less fragile than just about any other class in the game. Druids and paladins both operate with out any regard for mana at all, at present. They basically have unlimited healing resources which creates unlimited health. Pull data on how many healers have healed 400k+ damage in single arena games and you will start ...]]> DPS Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:32:02 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710551636-question-about-1v1-balance.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710551636-question-about-1v1-balance.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: They don't run out of mana. I think this is a case of people jumping into a thread from Bluetrackers. To reiterate: 1) I said at some point "All things being equal, a dps should be able to kill a healer." 2) OP wondered what the context was for that statement. 3) I said the context was probably (because I don't remember) mana: meaning t...]]> DPS Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:27:38 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710551636-question-about-1v1-balance.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710551636-question-about-1v1-balance.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: GC, doesn't that kind of thinking neglect the fact that the vast majority of arena teams and comps are based on how individuals can peel or cc members of the other team? arena matches should never be 3v1 at any point because out of all the specs in arena, there's always going to be at least 1 form of cc available to hold up at least one opp...]]> DPS Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:10:21 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710462050-dev-team-pls-consider-combat-log-change-cata.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710462050-dev-team-pls-consider-combat-log-change-cata.html Ghostcrawler : Mods would be able to get around it. As long as players can see how much they healed for, they'll be able to record total healing done. Ultimately, it's just information and the problem is not in the information itself as in how players interpret that information. I think the real answer is just to keep telling players they are being short-sighted...]]> Heal Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:12:43 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710460920-mastery-for-tanks.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710460920-mastery-for-tanks.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: You guys are pretty much forcing tanks to gem for stam by reducing the amount of stam on gear and expecting us to make it up with stam gems. The part that worries me is the boring factor; gems are supposed to be something that gives players options and forcing us to gem for stam by design doesn't really give us an option.

If they are able to damage you while healing themselves though, they will likely win. It comes down to this: If a healer can't beat a dps one on one, then...]]> DPS Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:38:02 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710231601-what-s-wrong-with-an-active-mana-regen-model.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710231601-what-s-wrong-with-an-active-mana-regen-model.html Ghostcrawler : I'm not sure we'd ever do a "deal damage to heal" model. It might work for new classes, but feels like a big change to existing classes that players know and love. Having choices to get mana back is good. Standing around to regen mana is bad. However, we still ultimately need a way that healers who are playing badly, trying to keep alive an under...]]> Heal Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:52:32 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710461469-gc-how-do-you-do-it.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23710461469-gc-how-do-you-do-it.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: Ever used capillary electrophoresis?
