2 Dragonslayer Buffs

Post by Mistermadigan » Wed Sep 04, 2024 9:07 am

It always bothered me that Onyxia and Nefarian's heads give the same buff. With World Buffs no longer being allowed in raids, I think there is space to have distinct buffs for each of the heads - just to help out the folks hanging about by the gates.

Onyxia's Head can still give "Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer"
"Increases critical chance of spells by 10%, melee and ranges by 5% and grants 140 attack power. 120 minute duration"

but Nefarian is a tricky and dastardly sort of dude, much different than his sister. Defeating him should grant a unique bonus.

I propose that turning in Nefarian's head should grant - "Bolstering Shout of the Dragonslayer"
"Increases all stats by 20, +20 to all resistances, and +5% dodge chance. 120 minute duration"

I know it's basically just Mark of the Wild swapping armor for dodge, but I always felt it kinda dumb standing around in a city and one head drops after the other and it just resets the timer on the same buff. But that's my take on it.

That sounds abit weak. The dragonslayer buff is alot stronger than this. People wouldn't like that change. I think it's fine as it is. They're both dragons so the same buff is fine.

Although I do think 'Warchiefs Blessing' should be named to Warchief's Battlecry and alliance should be changed to 'King's Blessing' although that might sound too similar to blessing of kings.

World buffs in general (+chronoboon) probably need some kind of looking at in general now that balance in regards to raids isn't a concern.

You know - you're right that it seems a bit weak.

Also, the Hakkar buff gives 15% to Stats so we already have a world buff for that.

Maybe:
"Increase Casting and Attack Speed by 5%, all resistances +30 and +5% Dodge"

That seems like a better buff.

Wbuffs seem fine as is, all are incredibly powerful for leveling already and thats really all they are good for.

I do agree id like to see a rework with chronoboon now though, maybe make it a permanent item now that its not a raid consume, help people farm and such.
