Soultwining Crescent and Death-Bound Shard Will Grant Conduits Based on Spec Instead of Class

Why on earth aren’t conduit upgrades Loot Spec Specific? I’m sitting here on a Feral druid getting conduit upgrades from Soultwining Crescent and other items for Guardian, Boomy, Resto and i will never get any use out of them, meanwhile my feral conduits are low ilvl.

Comment by RaithanHas anyone else been running at least 2 adamant vault runs per week since they opened and not got a Death-Bound shard yet? I hope this will fix that or perhaps my toon is cursed.Comment by Ced42Why do we have to wait until hall of fame closes before we get sensible QoL changes. Literally was on twitter saying wondering what we would get cause horde HoF was going to close, and how would it be like account-wide essences when horde closed for 8.3.

And then this happens. What an absolute garbage company. Don’t know why the copium inhalers are thinking it is okay for games to waste people’s time when stuff like this is possible.How much did you spend on that copium chamber? Is it included in your activision-blizzard stock options?Comment by TaekwonbowYaaay and only a few days after I spent 60k relic knowledge on conduit upgrades :(Comment by NyarlotothepMonths late. Blizz needs to stop actively ignoring fans and their feedback.Comment by Apcotwow! the new blizzard boss is a new hope.
ion can go home!Comment by Kepheooh my god yes, thank youComment by michelbI feel like this is an opportune time to get Blizz to change a lot of stuff just to improve their image. The way this worked was silly to start with, and there's plenty of these things left in the game.Comment by SoLoR1Dont give them pat on the back for someone it should be there from start of the expansion...Comment by Mariilynthanks for this lovely change, but dont you think which it was a bit late tho ? cos some ppl had already wasted their Conduit upgrades...! but at least its better than nothing, i mean we all get used to that this is blizzard...!Comment by FrawtariusI do pretty regularly play a few alts, but I only have one character that is properly being min-maxed. Guess what?

The BIS Covenant ability conduit was literally the very last conduit that I upgraded up from 200. I picked up and upgraded every single one of my conduits, including for two specs of the class I never play, to 213 (or 226, or some even higher, as this happened around the time 9.1 came out). Right now, I'm sitting on only two conduits left at 213 still...one of which is the BIS Covenant ability.

I know this might not be that super relevant, but at least this absolutely cursed conduit upgrade RNG (which genuinely seems like it's weighted to not give an upgrade to the Covenant ability conduit) will be a bit softened by this change. Oh, and also yeah, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE FEEDBACK PEOPLE GAVE ABOUT THIS A YEAR AGO DURING THE SHADOWLANDS PTR. Hopefully all the controversy Blizzard is facing will give the WoW team a major kick in the ass, and motivate them to actually start listening to player feedback...y'know, when it's given, not a year down the line. One can hope.Comment by Cien2803This is beyond the absurd level. They discover this now? There's no way anyone's playing the game out there.Comment by JuniperDPSQuestion I hope they can answer before Tuesday reset. If we have 226 conduits that are our offspec, and 239 of our current spec, will the items still choose offspec conduits to upgrade since they will be the lowest? Or will it only upgrade conduits of your current spec still?Comment by brianspenceniWas the question about whether all 'lowest level conduits' get levelled before you max out your main spec to 252 ever answered? Its incredibly relevant and i think people don't even realise.

Eg if some of my offspec conduits are 226 but all my main spec are 239, do the main spec go to 252 BEFORE OR AFTER the offspecs go to 239...If it still prioritise the offspecs to 239, well this change isn't going to be anywhere near as relevant until you have every single main and offspec conduit levelled to 239 so you can finally max out your main spec 252sComment by eXpr3syeah im glad to se them changing this, after everyone has spent literaly al tens of thousends of research on conduits for nothing that they play,..... gj blizzard late and screwing everyone over, as always... weeks appon weeks of farming to get nothing u use now to se that u will get whjat u use, but cant afford it becaus u alrdy spent everything that took several weeeeeeks to famrm, thx but only to late, as always... why do they always make us beta test the "finnnished" game befor they fix things everyone know could haev been there since the launch of the expansion,,...,., why cant they just make the game work great, to begine with?Comment by eXpr3sI do pretty regularly play a few alts, but I only have one character that is properly being min-maxed.

Will the shards continue to upgrade our spec conduits to 252 first or they will first upgrade off-spec conduits to 239 before starting to upgrade our spec conduits again?Comment by TigerusCan we also get a soulbind tree specific to spec?Comment by Osborne1992Nice... Glad I've bought and used like 10 of the things already before they bothered to make this change (something that probably should have been done in 9.0, mind)

How about we get more ways to get higher ilvl conduits..? Like, a 239 from doing +15s... or a guaranteed 252 conduit for doing a +15 from the vault. As it stands you either have to raid to get a specific conduit, or do that awful tower/rep grind for a random conduit.Comment by ParadoxcandyAll my conduits are over 226 now anyway but.. yayComment by alex9357wait but what about covenant specific conduit?
