Add 20% more armor to all bosses

When the suggestion is something that is fully dismissable, and it has been explained why, and you still try to say “well what if,” then it actually is helpful to dismiss it with nothing to add.

Attempting to flatten a curve by weakening classes at the top in a fashion that will also weaken classes at the bottom doesn’t make sense. Changing the core of the game that will be more detrimental to one class doesn’t mean it buffs other classes. Changing completely how a class plays - by which I mean turning druid into nothing but a bleedbot or turning enhancement into spellhance - ignores the idea devs put out at the start of SoD of “keeping in spirit of Classic.” (And I really don’t care if you think they’ve ignored the spirit or not; when they’ve made this statement and continue to do so, arguments have to be made with this in mind if they want to be taken seriously.)

Add.: Spellhance & spellret can’t really be done without either giving something to convert AP to spell power - which will also screw with any other class or spec wearing this gear with access to physical and spell damage in any sense, along with causing wild imbalances because lord knows they don’t meticulously tune each and every ability individually - or to create all new gear with new stat distribution for these specs, which will either be so weak that they won’t be viable for either of these, or will be so strong that they’ll invalidate any existing gear used by enhancement & retribution, not only for those specs, but any classes/specs that can utilize that gear as well. If a mail piece drops tuned for “spellhance” drops and it’s not complete garbage from the hybrid tax(meaning NOBODY rolls on it), then elemental, retribution, hunter, and DPS warrior also roll on it, because of how much stats on gear would be needed in Classic to not also be useful for more than a singular class/spec.

tl;dr on addendum: Spellhance/spellret doesn’t work in Classic without taking an axe to the system and completely reworking the core of it, or without invalidating a lot of existing options for not just enhance and ret, but any DPS that can wear mail or plate.
