Lol @ Imp Scorch too powerful

#0 - March 14, 2009, 7 p.m.

Q u o t e:
The buff was just too potent to be something that offered benefits to the entire group. We want you to be more powerful in a group, but we are trying to rein in buffs that are so powerful that you feel like you have to cancel your run if you don't have them.

I've never had a raid canceled due to not having imp scorch. The worst of it is forcing a mage to respec for it.

However, this logic doesn't work at all. The 13% Spell damage debuff is significantly more powerful. Heroism is more powerful. Totem of Wrath is probably just as powerful. The 10% AP buff is more powerful.

This reasoning irrefutably does not work.

It could be that the CoE debuff is too powerful too. Crit however tends to have synergistic effects moreso than just +damage because it keys into a lot of class abilities that proc from crits.

If anything, we might have to chill out the "I need more utility" stuff even more. As long as players are expecting raid slots because of their amazing utility then utility is probably still too amazing. You should get raid slots because you know what the blank you are doing, not because your buff is the awesome.
