Ok, this is probably the only post Korrigan makes that I will agree with, and I'm dumbfounded that I'm agreeing with it all.

But the simple fact is, he's probably right.

The whole idea of dumbing down talent trees to account for diversification in the Path of Titans makes total sense. Why else would Blizz pull a SWG NGE move on the talent trees other than to make up for it with Path of Titans, which was then scrapped?

And I can't help but think that the removal of Path of Titans also affected not just the talent trees, but the entire game, and is the reason the game was harder than it should have been for so long. Without the Path of Titans advancements, tanks took too much damage, healers ran out of mana, and dps were scratching their heads wondering why they couldn't beat the tank. So over the past 10 months Blizzard has been trying to adjust to account for that instead of actually doing what they should have done in the first place, which was put the Path of Titans back in.

I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Jeff Kaplan. I wonder how much he's loving this.

Well having an expansion in WOTLK that was widely loved by the largest player spectrum of players and totally doing a 180 on the design will cause anything to decline.


I think the prime example is that WOTLK made a person like me into a raider. I have zero patience or desire to spend my time raiding, yet I raided thru all of the raids in wrath.


Yet when Cat came out, I made it thru 2 or 3 heroic dungeons and pretty much quit playing. That of course is after they gutted the class i played and turned him into a holy rogue.
