Anyone else wondered about how it takes one whole expansion to get a combat routine right? Meaning when it finally heals/dps perfect, the expansion is over...
I find Millz' Shadow Priest Routine pretty good and it was before 6.1 hit. No idea what you're talking about.
Nothing much to elaborate on. He's saying that errors plague combat routines throughout each WoW expansion and that the routines cannot reach each classes true potential. When the developers finally get everything right, the expansion is over and new combat routines are required.
Actually, some elaboration would be welcome, particularly for those of us that care to make our routines better. These things obviously take a great amount of time and energy to perfect, which in of itself is subjective to each and every user. Snow
maybe it has to do with the amount of time a developer has to put in work on a new routine. they get around 4 weeks of prepatch before an expansion. then the expansion itself has more class changes. then you have hotfixes and patches every two weeks for the next 2 months. then you have new class changes every couple months to balance pvp. on and on like that for a year. then the last raid of the expansion drops and you have 4 to 6 months of nothing but tweaking the CR. and finally the routine works the best its going to work for the last 6 months of the expansion.
