Blindy. had this to say about John Romero:
My feral druid is going to be my main in the expansion, I think. Shadow priests get some cool new stuff but I'm getting tired of playing them.
Yeah, I ditched my hunter in favor of my resto shaman(easily noticable by gear in my armory profiles,) and only log on my hunter when a guild member needs something cooked or engineered up.
But honestly, the way things are going for shaman, if I continue to play when wotlk is released, I'm going back to my Hunter. Blizzard honestly doesn't understand the real issues of the class, and rather than fixing them, they just boost up the stuff we're fine with - as if we'll ignore the gaping flaws in favor of doing significantly better at what we already do. I can see why they don't know what to d. It's a hybrid class. This makes it incredibly easy to make it either overpowered, or crippled. But the problem is, it's been crippled for quite a long time, and nothing has been even attempted to try and fix things.

Paladins are being completely redone, Parce. We haven't seen everything and these changes are far from final
I'd like to believe that, really, I would, but we've a pretty clear trend in MMOs starting from EQ: the longer a game is out, the more a company begins to resent its customers.
Even if Paladins are being reworked, it doesn't bode well that they're being reworked into some attempt at viability two expansions later. Beyond that, there's a bunch of issues that don't seem to even register as issues on Blizzard's problem radar.
-No Mage talents worthwhile
-Druid healing, already overpowered, is getting stronger. Nourish alone will be comparable to a Resto/Holy healer's spells with less mana cost and it's trained.
-Rogues are still out of control. I play one, it's fun, but I can't help but feel that it's a little cheap. Now we can remove bleed debuffs and perform four cheapshots in a row as well as remove shields and weapons.
-All this and they're introducing a class that will make others obsolete.

Seals aren't being expended when Judged and that's good.
Salvation is gone, though, renamed "Hand of Salvation." What's the difference, you might ask?
Well, while Blessing of Salvation is a 30-min. buff that reduces threat by 30%, Hand of Salvation is a 30-second buff that reduces threat by 30%, as well as healing and damage by 30%!

I'm 0/10/51 right now, but only because I wanted to test out chaos bolt. When I get a chance I'm probably going to pull points out of destro and put them in... uh
...well I don't know. Affliction talents are only that great if you're going balls out affliction, and you need to spend 30 points in demo before you get to a talent that's worth taking.

10 second buff that removes 20% of the target's accumulated threat, 2% at a time for 10 seconds.
It's something you can cast on the retarded warlock in your group so he doesn't pull agro when he's at 120% and climbing.
In nexus I was nuking balls out and never pulled threat even though I was topping the damage meters. We had a pally tank earlier and later switched to a warrior.
I cannot wait to try it out :3
Same question for healing too. Can a healer just throw on heal gear and do alright even if they're non-heal spec? Dr. Gee fucked around with this message on 07-25-2008 at 05:26 PM.

Don't think this was ever answered.
Gear doesn't seem to be that big of a jump as it was from normal to BC content. Drops in Utgarde and Nexus seem to be around T4/Kara level gear. Except the dungeons are a lot easier and more fun/interesting.
Green items from quests seem to replace most blues from BC content. Depends on the stats of the item.
This doesn't seem awesome, but the new game mechanics are going to begin forcing every pure caster to pay more attention to spirit. When you factor in the new benefits from spirit, the new gear will probably end up being a big upgrade after all.
So I'd say it's affirmative that all your BC epix are junk once again.

I'd honestly be really surprised if they didn't follow the formula they used with TBC.
I mean, T3 gear was enough to keep me going until Karazhan. I suspect T6/badge gear will keep everyone going until whatever the first 10-man is in LK.
Besides, Marabob. Who needs spirit? lulz lifetap, m i rite?
I don't like the idea of the spirit changes either. I always liked the idea of Warlocks being stamina/damage based casters as opposed to the mage/priest of int/damage and spi/damage

From what I gather, T6 starts getting replaced around level 77. Drops in the Halls of Stone are about as good as Sunwell drops.

Now grants ((3*spirit) + X) mana
X = 710 at 70 for reference
We'll pretty much have to lifetap twice as much for the same returns.
At this point I am seriously considering not even coming back to WoW, despite the fun I've been having.
It's not like it's hard to find in LK.
Nevermind about the bonus health, that got changed back. Willias fucked around with this message on 08-09-2008 at 04:22 PM.
With lifetap restoring almost half as much mana as it once did, AND with the mana regen demo sac removed, there will be absolutely no way we'll be able to keep up our DPS. We'll be well into the realm of elemental shamans and druids, who, unlike warlocks, bring a whole host of other benefits to a raid.
I mean seriously, I'm a shadow priest. We really haven't gotten anything but our group mana regen utility halved. At least you're getting changes. Willias fucked around with this message on 08-09-2008 at 05:01 PM.
How much +dmg do you think we'll have to give up in order to get 300 spirit? How much +sta? +crit?
There's no two ways about it, this change represents an enormous nerf.

Well, I sorta am in the beta.
For this shit to be balanced, they would have to completely change the entire system of stat weighing on items to add a ton of spirit on every piece of warlock gear.
They'd have to do this JUST for warlocks. Why the christ would they do that? Why would they even bother making the change at all unless it was going to either buff or nerf the class? And I doubt like hell it's going to buff them.

I don't know, and I don't think you do either.
Considering that I have gear on that gives various combinations of +damage, +crit, and +sta, along with +spirit, I don't think you're going to lose much.
That's like complaining that your Nagrand quest loot sucks

That's a pretty silly thing to say. With very few exceptions, gear with ten stats will always have drastically less of each stat than comparable gear with two or three.

That's also a pretty silly thing to say. In BC there was no drastic new direction in gear between Nagrand and BT, nor was there in base WoW. Why on earth would there be in LK?
Also, you're suggesting that Blizzard is making changes to the game that that will nerf warlocks, only to totally negate those changes with post-77 gear, and that they're doing this for no real reason at all. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 08-09-2008 at 05:41 PM.
