Warcraft Radio's Shadowlands 9.1 Interview - Class Stacking, Story-Based World Changes, Valor Points Tuning

posted 2 days ago by Squishei

Warcraft RadioClass Stacking and Encounter DesignWe always try to design our encounters so that certain classes that have different strengths and weaknesses can really shine. We want to have that opportunity to feel like a hero on this fight or on the next fight and when we're talking about people who are working at , they will find any little thing that can do to optimize the best they can. So when we see things like that, we're like yeah, they're strong on this fight by a little bit so of course we're going to see more of them. And we always do try, towards the back end of the raids to make sure that we're testing enough of those elements of combat and class design that you might try to stack early on but then maybe you're going to hit a roadbump in the fight where you have to take a step back and look at what your composition is again and switch it around and eventually turns into a much more balanced composition. Story Based World ChangesWithout getting specific, I can say that when you complete the Sanctum of Domination raid, you will see a big visible difference in the Shadowlands.Valor Points Tuning and CapsFor Valor in particular, I think there will actually be an update next week. The tuning numbers that we have been putting in there, we're continuing to iterate on, although Valor in particular has a little bit lower of a cap that some of these other currencies do, so it won't be possible to stockpile months and months and months of it.

AMZ is the biggest aggressor here though.Comment by Weryx"For Valor in particular, I think there will actually be an update next week.

Why not? Just reset it with every season o.oComment by DarkgideonThe class stack answer was really bad because that is not the reason that DKs were brought, AMZ + their insanely strong ST and burst AoE which is what most fights consisted off.

They need to start expanding classes kits, it's absurd that Warrior got buffs equaling upwards of 25% since December and are still low end while having the worst tank spec in the game that's gotten literally no attention.Comment by clozzerThe class stack answer was really bad because that is not the reason that DKs were brought, AMZ + their insanely strong ST and burst AoE which is what most fights consisted off.

quid of nobrainess ?
mm+ ? = ranged.
raid ?= ranged.
Rbg = ranged share the spot with melee. ranged have Always deal tons of damage.

ez game design with big dammage revolve around ranged and almost always has been.

i can swear that some class with soulbind and #$%^s are defintely more OP than DK since a long long time. dk uh have eaten a big 20% mastery nerf, still waiting big nerf on ranged. wait its never gonna happen.

don't cry every time you see "dk something" we already are so few....Comment by mythicowThey don't want you to stockpile "months and months"... so they put the cap at 2 weeks LOL. Making it quite possible that you'll start upgrading a weapon which costs more than the total cap, to avoid the cap, only for that piece to drop from the vault in the meantime before you finish upgrading it, making all that valor wasted. Utterly boneheaded design to solve some made up issue they create in their heads that's not actually an issue. Who fckin cares if you save up months worth? People can do that in conquest and it's a problem how? Just reset every season like conquest.. Typical blizzard.Comment by voidoxWithout getting specific, I can say that when you complete the Sanctum of Domination raid, you will see a big visible difference in the Shadowlands
