Definitely divisive, but I love the slower paced combat in Vanilla


This is coming from someone who never played Vanilla. I play mage on live.It feels like almost a action oriented final fantasy turn based style. Especially if you download swing timer addons and what not too. Duels are more engaging because you have a couple seconds to think between each move, instead of just going balls to the wall like in retail.And this is a big one, spells feel impactful. In BfA you have rotations that you have to follow in order to achieve optimal dps. Vanilla lets you setup these awesome one shot moments with chain lightning/pyroblast and they actually do crazy damage. Makes it feel like the spells actually have weight on their own and aren’t just pieces to a recipe of a rotation.
