With this week's "Topic of the Week", the Vault would like to know "Since its introduction the topic of buff shears has been addressed on all fronts as mixed reviews, from a class ability to item charges to full cast spells, these changes have made the game a different perspective and has added some changes to how you have to play when facing these challenges. The question the vault would like to know is, how has this effected you? What do you feel has improved or has taken away from your experience in playing the game? Do you feel this is something that should be changed at all, or perhaps a great ability to add to the ways to combat on the battlefield? Thanks for your time giving your thoughts on this! Have a great week all!

Thank you for sharing!

good addition, need more classes with specable buff sheers.

Shears are terrible and always have been. They mainly do 3 things: make it even easier/faster for organized groups to slaughter the less organized, make it even less possible for druids, clerics, and shaman to spec for anything other than buffs and ensure that those classes spend more time doing what is least fun -- rebuffing their group, and make the buff system even more annoying than it already is by giving various classes a way to strip buffs from targets that they aren't actually going to kill. It would be much better if the shears were changed into regular debuffs.

Yea, I hate buff shears, and agree a debuff would be more reasonable.

I despise shears. They make sense in 8vs8 fights, but in general they hurt some players way more than others. Im also very hesitant to play classes/specs with shears, so it's not just because Im on the receiving end that I dislike them.

I can somewhat understand using shears to boost certain classes, but using shears to make an ML10 item more desirable is just silly.

I think shears are part of a general problem with the buffing system. One of the reasons I loved playing a cave shaman was the ability (as a soloer) to buff myself in the field and zone whereever I wanted to without worrying about buffs. I wish all classes had that kind of freedom (to a degree). Shears have the exact opposite effect.
