@FwoiblesWoW Asked this back in SOD, but is there any progress on OCE ping in raids if group/raid leader is Oceanic? I would take open world US lag if it didn't impact instanced content. Thank you

@Zirene Necrotic runes off the dusty bags from bosses in Kara is 🔥

@Zirene @realharmen @mybpete @Austinalien Thanks for your time!

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Zirene @realharmen @mybpete @Austinalien Thanks for the confirmation, last question while I'm playing with sims - any chance frozen runes have a method of acquistion outside of Naxx for pre-raid shenanigans?

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Zirene @realharmen @mybpete @Austinalien Will it still count as +1 sanctified despite no longer being a trinket?

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Zirene @spg1337 @oElementz @wowclassicdevs 2/2 PI was managed well by WCL with the increase DPS going to the priest, but this is very complicated. Suggest to make them raid/party-wide or trigger from AoE healing with reduction to the bonus or a CD.

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Zirene @spg1337 @oElementz @wowclassicdevs 1/2 Thanks for responding. RE fairness for parsing:
The 4pc healer bonus buffs are wild and will be lopsided on specific players. They are also a generally unfun maintenance button from a healer perspective. We will see these being stacked before pulls and during fights.

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@spg1337 @Zirene @oElementz @wowclassicdevs Big concerns with:
- class balance from this system (mage, lock)
- raid composition
- loot itemisation
- power of sanctified > set bonuses that have been spec enabling
- multiple sets of gear inside/outside Naxx
- fairness of such an iconic raid for parsers

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Zirene Boomkin: With the Sanctified+Seal trinket it'll be almost all Dreamwalker and overcapped 8/6 set because it's more of a gain than a set bonus such as 2.5 4pc. Can a mechanism be introduced to upgrade gear to sanctified?

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Zirene Fair enough thanks for the response on the key chain.

I'm not saying there should be no cost for wbuff items, but perhaps a different cost. Any thoughts on changing the conditions to get the items you can share?

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@AggrendWoW @wowclassicdevs Hoping to see a lot more polish for Classic+ raiding in future. There's a sentiment that there's no point raiding on release day because there have always been significant issues that soured 'the race' since ST.

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Exadra @FwoiblesWoW @AggrendWoW Cannot agree more, we chose Oceanic servers because of better performance. Taking that away entirely is not fair.

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@FwoiblesWoW @AggrendWoW It is reasonable if we have the ability to seed an instance with Oceanic ping like how it works in AV. Is this an option?
We get the increased players and it doesn't detract from instanced gameplay for Oceania.

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@Zirene @Kexman @AggrendWoW Personally very excited for the parry haste and death shenanigans this item will bring. Putting it on Raid Bingo. Some of the items that have been mined look really fun, great job team. I remember Woosholays was a game changer for Resto in vanilla, some of these are up there

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@FwoiblesWoW Could you clarify if OCE is involved, or are we one of those inapplicable regions? A lot of players are unpleased with US latency. If so, hope there are plans to allow instances to be seeded by OCE (like AV currently is) so this won't detract from our gameplay.

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@AggrendWoW @ZombieAutopilot Juju Embers would be a nice little addition for spending those (or an equivalent).

[Sol @StyxWoW]

@wowclassicdevs @joshcorbettpods @AggrendWoW @OptimusJones Really enjoying P4 so far, feels like there is so much to do with 0.5, FR gearing, dungeons, PvP and rep farms. Wanted to say thank you for catering to different players through difficulty modes. Hope to see that continue for future raids.
