Malefic rapture is a sad button to press, blizzard needs to remake its animation

[FamousHotdogs]

Re-roll Mage? So you mean every expansion. got it.

[-Miasimon]

Not sure why I check these kinds of videos, ngl. Never have any intention to change my main from Affliction Lock because the fantasy is just top tier for me.

[stephengeist]

I love how everyone is just absolutely unleashing hell on the dummies lmao

[benjaminself]

Honestly, I’m just glad they removed some of the button bloat from holy pally. Spot healing feels beefier now as well.

[Khadharphak]

I fucking hate all the BM changes honestly, lost a lot of options with forcing things that used to be on the general tree into the spec tree and nerfing a lot of other options, along with a lot of options being spread out across other talents meaning you have to spend more points get back less than what you had before... Not to mention the loss of stampede as well, leaves general capstones feeling pretty shit. And what's with the obsession with trap talents, there's like 8 trap related talents in the general tree, I don't use traps as a BM, I don't need them, stop trying to shoehorn me into the obnoxious fuckers.

[technosauruswrex]

Bellular please, the A-10 Warthog goes not *brap* that's something else.

[Sgtstarfish]

For anyone who sees these guides as the Bible, unless you’re in the top 0.1% everything is viable. Play what you have FUN playing.

[kaddiloc]

I'm convinced Bell just likes showing us his ears and lifting his eyes brows.

[reapercussions]

Destruction section felt way off you run rain of fire in single target to get shards for a talent that gives you mastery on shards spent even in a chaos bolt build it does less damage then incinerate its a worse spender then rapture from everything I’ve done on beta

[iBraydenn]

Aflic Lock and Boomy will still be really strong despite not being "as cool"

[Charlezworth]

being an arcane mage since bfa pays off!!

[georgeg]

The training dummies need to be instanced. Didn't know what the hell was going on with all the light shows.

[tommyseptic]

I hate nitpicking typically but i just really wish that for elemental you didnt have to turn into that humanoid form out of nowhere. its the only thing keeping me from maining the class because it just looks weird and ruins the fantasy for me

[VNNI]

Affli one of the losers? That's not what Icy-Veins predicts

[actuallyroot]

Put some chapters in here guys, c’mon

[Meuduso]

The main one I'm disappointed in is Shadow Priest. God I wish they had given us a Hero Talent Tree that brought back the Legion insanity minigame proper, it was so fun to try to push it to the very fullest. God, I'd love for that to return, bonus if with the option to die at the end of it again in favor of staying in Void form for a bit longer lol

[teej]

Balance druid reduced to insults. UNACCEPTABLE!!!

[HalCogan]

I discovered my little Frost Mage Gnome partway through Shadowlands and have used her ever since to great effect. I don't know if I could go back to my Warrior or Hunter any time soon.
