Funny, most people think the same thing about warns. :hug:

I don't like the idea of it being the shift key, as I use that to talk on vent. But the idea itself definitely has merit. I'd like to see something where like right click could be used or something for the "megacrits" myself. Dunno if that'd be doable, as the right click menu'd have to be disabled, but still seems like it'd be more enjoyable. :)

I am trying to save everyone a lot of heartache.  I just played my first cata and ppl loved the opportunity to run back to town, shrine, and get back into the cata ASAP.  Now here is where I see a huge potential problem.  UA has a large amount of casters and we like to hit <CTRL> to megacrit.  Now when you run back into town, ppl are trying to throw the shrines in FAST.  These casters are used to holding in this <CTRL>.  If they accidently hit this <CTRL> they have been accustomed to hitting for the past few hours in the cata they will Quick Gear Switch as they are about to shrine.  Basically, unless the megacrit button is changed to something like maybe <Shitf> or <Alt>, then I forsee a lot of poor souls shrining their gear.

Just trying to help prevent some mistakes that I predict are about to quickly spike.  (I prefer Shift Personally with the key placement on keyboard)


Thoughts?


i shrined my lvl 10 60ee 21 intel charm because of this...

i thought this would be an issue... guess what... there is no need to actually have switch gear with this update... I tested it out personally.

You are now set to follow simple rules.

1. Pure melee (no need switch)
2. Pure Caster (no need switch)
3. Hybrid Healer (no need switch)
4. Hybrid Caster (no need switch)

you do not need to have switch gear at all...
you do not need to have level up gear either, just have them in vault or just xfer them as you get up levels.

pure and simple update, the only loss here is the fact that you can not go solo anymore... no arena meaning that profs are not good
also... if you die in SC... who the fuck cares, profs = shit now... so no real need to get more profs

on an off note... if you die, guess what, you can NOT get those prof points back as fast, you will just lose it and lose it over again... do NOT die... cause you will not get any prof points back as fast as you lose them


END OF DISCUSSION...  you heard right.


you don't get stok3d's point, Sir ;)

its not about needing switch or not ^^ if you use the botton for splash in catas.. and simply use the botton again by mistake when you are in town.. you will switch shrines with your gear.. and if you dont recognize that because you want to be fast to help your allies.. you could simply shrine the part of your gear that is exchanged with the shrineable item now.. i didnt shrine any of my items so far but 100% understanding this point here. yes from me

"Caster Fad"?

I've been a caster since season 2, and enjoyed every moment of it, thank you very much.

When you can say you've done multiple 1-71 climbs on headhunter casting-only, then you can talk to me about "fads".

Sorry, I really had nothing more to add to the topic at hand, merely wishing to point out how ignorant this "fad" comment is. :)

Don't really care. It seems all you ever worry about nick is people unable to correctly play a video game and make stupid mistakes.
