We get Vortex back but lose Intimidating Roar, so it's a nerf.Vortex is straight better (since it easily gives you more than 3 seconds of mob downtime) except against casters. But since casters should be interrupted anyway, I don't see the issue.11/09/2018 10:59 PMPosted by Tewa2. Feral Charge coming off the GCD doesn't mean much since it's on the same talent row as Vortex. So you can get one or the other.But it does impact Dash, no?

Guardian's problem in particular is that for a long time (dating back to the end of Legion) they've just been utterly horrible at M+ once you get into higher keys. This naturally means that unless you're a Guardian purist or playing multiple specs you're not going to suffer through that miserable experience over and above not bringing anything special to raid encounters. Thus the nosedive in representation. Warriors have a similar problem.It remains to be seen how much this is going to be addressed in 8.1. If getting Vortex back is real, that's going to be a big deal (honestly a lot bigger…

You almost never officially "stop" recruiting. Turning away a skilled player just because it might bump you up to 27/28 is a really bad idea.The only time I'd consider actually stopping is if we got to 30, but that has never happened.

This will never start to equalize until they reduce or eliminate the barriers to faction transferring.Honestly, removing the cost from going Horde -> Alliance temporarily would probably do it.Edit: And to confirm what almost every other Mythic raider that has posted in this thread has said, it's about recruitment and not racials.

That seems implausible but I don't have all the data that Blizz does.This was close to their stated reason. It was intended to give people an incentive to swap back from Horde to Alliance.But, they didn't reduce the costs of doing so. Therefore nothing actually happened.

I guess "toxic" has been redefined to "people who tell you that you are bad when you are actually bad".I thought that was "honest"?

I mean, Cyous is right. People in their earliest days in a guild are far more likely to leave than someone who has been around for several years. Having those people receive loot is a greatly increased chance for those items to be completely removed from contributing towards the raid team's progress. That's terrible.Trials and/or new members ghosting your raid team has been a thing since basically forever. The only difference now is there are no in-game tools to protect the team from these people. You basically have to dig through their history with a fine-tooth comb to have a chance at f…

09/27/2018 10:59 AMPosted by RedgeConsider this, after doing a +9 Atal Dazar I used judgement a total of 171 times. If you took the crit out of the traits equation then it would do about an 8k absorb over 8 seconds from the mob you are attacking always, at the high end this could mean around 1.36m total healing throughout that entire dungeon.I should have clarified. My comment was related to raid enocunters, specifically Mythic raid encounters. Shaving 1.5k off of a 80-100k melee swing does effectively nothing.But, as you pointed out, it would be a lot better in dungeons.

Yeah, that trait is utterly terrible. No matter how much you buff it you still have to deal with the fact that it triggers off of Judgement crits.Even if you remove the "on crit" portion, the absorption is so tiny relative to most boss swings that there's no reason to take it over most other traits.
