Help me change Arcane Torrent for the better!

[Donteventrii]

Taken from my post in the general forums:

Arcane Torrent's secondary benefit of a small resource gain is helpful to Hunter, Rogue, Warrior, Monk, Death Knight, Paladin granting Focus/Energy/Rage/Chi/Runic Power/Holy Power respectively. Those all directly correlate to enhanced or faster damage/healing.

However, Priest, Warlock & Mage only get Mana, a resource that is often too plentiful to be helpful. Instead, why not grant a spec relevant damage/healing resource?

Shadow Orb, Heating Up!, Finger's of Frost, Arcane Charge, Burning Ember, Demonic Fury, Soul Shard could all gain a charge from Arcane Torrent to bring it in line with other classes resource benefit.

If you agree with this change, please bump Arcane Torrent for Priest, Warlock, & Mage - Forums - World of Warcraft

It would probably be better if they removed the resource gain from Arcane Torrent to even things out, and added something else to it that benefits everyone. I'm pretty sure the primary reason people roll BE is to get the silence, not the resource regen. I don't know what it should be replaced with, but I don't think it would be too difficult to come up with something better.

 

[Donteventrii]

Sure, that's another option. Just help me get some eyes on the issue and suggest that there if you would

 

[willix]

Should we get together over voip and come up with some more solutions to the issue? Maybe record it and submit the conversation to Blizzard? While we're at it we can come up with better racials across the board.

 

[Donteventrii]

Your cat wouldn't even listen to that.

However my forum post has received a few agreeing replies. More bumps, more exposure.

 

[willix]

Are you saying you don't want to sit down and converse Wow stuff with me? We can even make it a podcast, I'll run it by Yoube and see if he's willing to publish it on BiSnation.

Belf has higher base int for those caster classes, and racials have never been equally useful to all specs across the board anyways. i.e. smeld for stealth classes, stoneform for tanks, and gift of the naru is completely useless to any healer, and most offhealers.

That is quite a nice idea!

The only thing that caught my attention and i was like was Burning Ember...

You cant just press arcane torrent and sit with burning ember x2 in there.

That would make blood elf destruction warlocks the most OP lock race.

 

[Donteventrii]

just click like if you are a belf priest/lock/mage

 

[danny glover]

it's already the most op pvp racial in the game. the regen is just the icing on the cake.

nah, no buff needed here sorry.

 

[Donteventrii]

once you go belf you don't go back

 

[Donteventrii]

went belf went back

Too much wit in one post for us mere mortals.
