Will the combat-class changes go live pre-expansion?

Because Blizzard does it SE should too? I don't know if i agree with that since WoW is bleeding subs super hard right now. I'd rather have a good MMORPG instead of a reskin of a failing game.

That is a ridiculously poor argument that fails to acknowledge what was even requested in the first place.

Why should expansion stuff be released before the expansion comes out? It not part of the expansion then it just a regular game update.

while i'm not for this. if they are to retool substats like do away with Accuracy completely or make Parry 100% active for mitigation of all damage types, those are not expansion stuff. those are game updates that affect everyone whether they have the expansion or not.

but i don't see why that should be a different update.

Not sure the re-vamp is just about the expansion, it will change the game itself (unless you don't have access to that new gameplay in AAR and HW ?) so it's not such a bad idea to have access to it before

WoW pre expansion patches are always fun in a messy way. More or less due to skill/talent scaling meant for the coming expansion. Some specks get to enjoy being monstrosities for a few weeks and the rest from average to being mushrooms (useless)

I support this because it spices up the few, very slow, weeks before an expansion.

Ps. Screw legendaries. What a debacle.

Relearn your Job by leveling 60-70, that's kinda the point.

About four days... considering early access starts then.

Because combat system reworks effect more than just the expansion.

I'd like it. I've already predicted that I'm going to spend the first 30 minutes, at least, fiddling with my hotbars.
