Personally I think they need to drop the borrowed power if anything just because of the balancing and how bad it is, and how very much worse it will become.
Three of the top DPS in S1, all at the bottom with all 3 hunter specs.
How can you go that far in one direction, it’s insane.
When did they actually balance the game before 
When has it ever been this bad?
I don’t understand how they can not balance reasonably. To have specs go from top to bottom is a big rounding error LMAO.
What % deltas are you measuring and comparing to for this comment?
There are 24 dps specs.
What % delta would you find acceptable and how would you measure it?
No they cannot. Its whats popular each expansion or x.1, x.2, x.3. Jumping classes. No faith in these game devs.
Maybe the last 17 years of this game. I cannot remember a time some DPS specs went from top to bottom like this.
5% difference between top and bottom dps.
In what scenario?
How are you measuring it?
Mythic+, Raids and PvP.
Which boss?
What damage profile?
What phase?
How do mechanics interact?
Kill time?
Number of targets?
Execute priority?
Burst aoe?
Spread council cleave?
Burst single target?
Every boss, every damage profile, every phase, everywhere.
5%.
Sure, make 1 dps class with 1 spec.
Because unless every single ability is the same that isn’t going to happen.
No, everyone deserves a chance to perform at a reasonable level. They need to up their game to give everyone on every spec a chance to perform.
We know what people are like, in 9.0 it was “Oh you play feral instead of balance, sorry we don’t want you”, now in 9.1 it’s the other way around. I’ve seen countless videos of people being kicked from groups because of the spec they play no matter how good their IO score was or how high their DPS is on logs, people refuse to take others because they are not playing FOTM specs no matter how good they are.
We have a feral druid in our guild, simply refused to budge and kept playing feral in 9.0, beat out a ton of balance druids because some players were playing FOTM and not being very good at it, those same bad balance druids were being picked over the much better feral druids simply because of spec being played.
Giving everyone a chance to shine means you end up getting players jumping around specs and classes and not really knowing how to play, that also affects the logs and the DPS numbers and means Blizzard are balancing not on what is possible, but what players can do with limited knowledge and experience.
First things first, players need to stop jumping ship because the best players in the game can do better at arcane than the majority can do at fire, or whatever specs are shining and whatever specs people play.
It will happen. They’re a billion dollar company making record profits. Hire more people and get it done.
It would absolutely kill any semblance of class uniqueness and logic on what a class would function.
To chase a balance fairy that has as much to do with individual encounter design than classes, in a game where you can clear 95% of the content as any spec.
Thank god they don’t go that route.
Enjoy the unbalanced mess then.
