SO!
I read these forums daily and what i mostly see is how people complain about 2 things…
- their class isnt viable (or OP)
- Other classes that are better than their classes
Now i read these and i have to think to myself “Why do you think you should be viable?”…I know i know…just hear me out!
What happened to the idea in this game (as in life) that there are classes and specs that are tailored to activities in game better than others? Why are we in this place where all classes are expected to be able to excel in every form of the game?
Resto druid are dominant in arena…because their tool set lends itself to excel in that environment, Holy priests do not…But Holy priests do well in Raid encounters where Resto Druids might not be able to keep up (theoretically)…
So what i would hear normally is “Buff resto for pve, buff holy for pvp”…but why??? Doesnt that take all the actual class intricisies out of the game? everyone can do everything?
Same on the DPS side…There are classes that lend themselves to pvp and those that dont…Where as those classes would excel in other areas of the game…
My point behind this wall of text is this…shouldn’t we rather accept the roles that classes lend themselves to and then make sure they are balanced IN THOSE SITUATIONS…rather than try and balance every class for every situation?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
