Class design, wotlk vs retail

It’s like that with every class in Retail, thanks to designing the game around being an e-sport.

NOTHING feels impactful. Nothing makes you go ‘Wow!’ In Wrath things like Lava Burst hit hard. Chaos bolt hits hard. Starfall is an absolute beast. Every class has things that are very impressive. But you can’t have things like that in Retail because “Just hitting a button and seeing huge numbers doesn’t take skill!” They’ve sucked the fun and joy out of the game with this kind of design.

It goes the same way though??? It is absolutely not fun being 1 shot by crits every 10 seconds in wrath. Actual skill expression feels WAY more rewarding than pressing 2 buttons and 1 shotting somebody. Reason why so many people like wrath combat is because its incredibly easy to achieve good results compared to retail, something like that also makes it quite boring and repetitive to most players and wotlk is perfect is clearly just rose tinted goggles.
