Proposal: Implementing Ability Cooldown Reset After Boss Kill/Wipe in TBC Raids
Proposal: Implementing Ability Cooldown Reset After Boss Kill/Wipe in TBC Raids
Core Proposal:
Introduce an automatic ability cooldown (CD) reset with the following conditions:
After killing a boss – Immediate full CD reset for all raid members.
After a wipe:
Combat must have lasted ?30 seconds (prevents abuse on early wipes).
Proven Success in WOTLK Classic:
This exact system was implemented in Wrath of the Lich King Classic and became:
? Beloved by hardcore raiders – Faster progression, more attempts per night.
? Praised by casual players – Reduced frustration, fairer for learning groups.
? Universally praised as one of the best QoL changes in classic WoW.
Implementation Rules:
? Global unlock:
Enabled for all players simultaneously after the first weekly reset following raid release.
Disabled during the first week to maintain progression integrity.
? No exploitable loopholes:
30-second minimum combat ensures meaningful attempts.
Why This Improves TBC Raiding:
For Hardcore Raiders:
? Faster progression – More pulls/hour, less downtime.
? Clean testing – Experiment with comps/tactics without CD penalties.
? Fairness – No more "CD tax" for early mistakes.
For Casual/Guild Groups:
?? Reduced frustration – New players won’t dread wiping.
?? Better learning – More reps on hard phases = faster skill growth.
?? Respects time – Less waiting, more playing.
For the Server Health:
? Retains players – Improves raid experience without reducing difficulty.
? Proven stability – Already works flawlessly in WOTLK Classic.
? Zero downsides – No balance impact, purely QoL.
Technical Notes:
Server performance neutral (triggers only on kill/wipe).
Compatible with all classes/specs.
