Comic #786: Secret Weapon (Patreon)

In hindsight I should have used Elaine and Elling Trias from #768 instead of the Wellers from #767 for this comic. The Wellers don't sell weapons, but the Trias' do. Oh well. How about we just say that after #769 the Trias shop was burned down by the repair coalition and they have since cornered the weapon sales market.

This comic is poking fun at the recent developer update about patch 9.1.5. The joke being that content is purposefully nerfed in order to create "new content" in a future patch by removing the nerf.

This premise in this comic is actually a much better parallel for the Maw. I didn't want to reference the Maw directly, because it didn't feel current enough. For those unaware, the Maw is a zone they created where you could initially not mount, but could unlock it in the future. The joke being that you could always mount in the game, so unlocking mounting is effectively removing a nerf.

I also put a joke in there about transmog recoloring, which has been pretty prevalent in the recent patch.
