I still like playing this game overall, but it is kind of annoying to see them keep saying things like:

We want you to use THIS weapon, not THAT weapon.

I guess if everyone has their niche then many different players aren't falling over themselves for the same few drops, while other drops are rendered useless. However, it just seems to sap some of the uniqueness/creativity out of the populous by so closely guiding all of our choices.

Why not just make every weapon and/or piece of gear usable by only one specific class/spec so we don't have any choice in the matter at all?!

EDIT: Typo.

Wow maybe it is because of the teeny tiny sample size in BM and MM, but hunters seem to fall into 2 groups. (DPS-wise, ignoring utility)


1) Survival

2) Dead weight



Yep and instead of buffing MM and BM to be on par with SV they are nerfing SV to be on par with BM and MM, Blizzard Dev's must spend their days wallowing in stupid because it has soaked in to every pour.

Mine is back sitting on her shelf again collecting dust... she's getting used to that spot.



Mine too. My friends are flabbergasted, I used to love that toon. Leveling up a DK now, the Evil Buddha Princess of Slice and Dice is semi retired.

They did it with healing with Pali's. Hell, they even stated, Pali's are being too mana efficient, so we want to bring them down to the level of priests, druids, and shamans.

By their own omissions... they wanna piss of healers.

That's probably true, but instead of forcing 2H why not just pull back dw damage for unholy? As I said, I liked the choice.

*edit* Thought about that for a second and realized that that is probably what they're going to do. So let me rephrase that and say I hope they don't nerf dw damage for unholy enough that it's pointless to do it.



No, they have said it before- DW = Frost, 2H = Unholy. They INTEND for unholy DW to trail behind 2H unholy. If you want to be competitive AND dual wield- you need to be frost spec.



Intend yes, but right now that's not how it is.

They also intended every class to use a lot of mastery. They will continue to nerf and buff until they get their way. What a bunch of tard developers.

Sad to see Sub Rogue so far down. Personally, I even had a blast with it in classic- but let's forget about classic.

I've not the slightest clue what Blizz is up to, despite all those blue posts about this and that.
