What's this? Fanboyism trying to debunk me?
Try druid healing.
1-2-3-4 - then make sure nothing wears off.
Try doing that on any hard mode in ICC. GL
I never bothered beating ICC, so I got no idea. If it's anything like ToC - then, bam - bigger hits. I'd be on raid heals picking up the stragglers & helping the main heal. I had a weak-ass 5k hps.
Then you need healbot or some other crap for your whole party, everything's about timing or this or that bullshit - and that's it.
It makes it easier to heal try reading the description sometime.
"HealBot allows for 60 key mouse combinations to cast any beneficial spells."
Hm, I didn't know that. I only used healbot on my druid since, forever, and it did help a lot - it helped so much - that I couldn't heal a raid without it. Try being more ... intuitive. You don't think I know what healbot was? I mean, I hooked up my shazbot to wow and wallhack - zomgzor - I got nutshots & headshots all over the place. I headshotted the lich king - and botted thru the whole ICC fo all my gearz. I got leetz. Den I hooked up my leet hax0rzbot and solo'd 25m icc hardcore man.
Dude, please.
Personally, I like oldschool RPG with some complexity - I hate how they cap the enhancements.
( Surprisingly - I'm loving DDO with all its complexity. I tried to sign up for this - ages ago, nearly a year ago - but they weren't taking new customers.
The last RPG that I really loved - a lot - was Neverwinter - but there was just so far you could take it. WoW is a really dumbed down title - and they're dumbing it down even more - to make it the Call of Duty of RPGs. )
Go play a feral druid and do some good DPS, then you'll think twice about the game not being complex.
One class is complex? One class that nobody will invite you to a group with?
So - go play a boring game for another 6 months to get a 9/10 set to be a good feral. No thanks. I gave up feral for boomkin when I hit 70-ish. Ranged > Melee for getting parties on my server. We had a DK & Pally infestation.
BTW - with regenerating your spellpower the way it is in said other game, you really, REALLY need to plan your spells & attacks. Think of where you're going, prep your spells based on your destination ( You can have a fraction of your book - if you don't prep, you can't cast it. ) If you're sloppy and buttonmashing (eg: play like it's wow) - you'll never get anywhere, never beat anything, die all over the place. Even healing - ditto. Overhealing - does not exist. More thought is required, more in-depth. Far more complex. Far less mainstream. Better, imo.
Oh yeah. Another thing that really got my goat - is this.
1 spell. 50 levels. You keep the same 5-6 spells throughout the entire game. Only 2-4 spells / abilities are of any use - you're basically like a hero in WC3. That - was a pisser.
Have you seen what happened with ICC? They added a buff called "Strength of Wrynn." The last time I played - it was at 5 or 10%.
Now - they buffed it to 30% - so every noob and their grandma can play. Now, any loser can have a cakewalk through the whole thing. If you were doing 10k damage before - you're doing 13k now. Your defenses are upped 30% - then your stronger self upped by all your buffs. Insanely easy.
Wrong, it's at 15% as of now and 10% a week ago. Every month will increase by 5% from what they have done already.
But still - they're doing that. You haven't really disproved anything. The last time I played ICC - it was just getting easier and easier to the point of pathetic. If you know the dance moves, you win the fight - that was about it. That was it for about everything.
http://www.ladderdueling.com/images/Strats_Wotlk/deathbringer17081.png - Proves my point exactly. That's how all of the fights are - predictable, on timers, just dog food - every last one. If you don't dance the dance, you die. Unless you're the first person to down the thing - it's boring. Every single fight - smack like that.
I liked WoW - I played for a good while - Blizz keeps catering to people who they shouldn't cater to - then things that need fixing, they don't fix. Things that don't need fixing - they "fix".
Then someone else finds something to whine about ( qq ) - and it gets worse. Then they've got the imbalanced servers - leaving one faction completely bare as hell, with people deserting left and right now with fact change, man don't get me started on that.
It's just going downhill. It's gotten to big for its own good.
