There’s literally no reason for this to be balanced by percentages.
right but we aren’t getting likely to get a one spec only ranged class next so unless it is a 5 class spec with 2 ranged specs now which ever roles aren’t picked are behind now we have to make new classes for those.
And you need 1 out of five players to play tanks not 1 of 5 specs. You could have 30 tanks specs and not enough tanks. You could have 2 tank specs and all the tanks you need.
whos hating on casters?
Evokers are the combination of the dragon aspects’ powers. yes you can make arguments for other classes such as mages getting an arcane battle mage tank. IF you feel that strongly about it I encourage you to start a thread about it and ask blizzard for it - similar to how I am asking blizzard for an evoker tank.
that’s a lot of assumptions, I love wow and have only played wow since vanilla. Remember stated caster doesn’t mean being ranged, your aren’t breaking the wheel with that. Even then it doesn’t have to be a caster as mentioned above but it still should satisfy those who want a pure caster class.
But working around a 25 yd healer wont require balancing at all right? And again caster doesnt mean out in bfe tanking mobs. Also till this day I would still like DH to get a 3rd spec and thought blizzard should have never released them with only 2
first part is quite debatable. But as to your second part-
A) You still get healer and a caster
B) How can you say the game needs more casters and healers but not tanks? As it currently stands some one who wants to play a tank has the least amount of specs to chose from to perform that role. That means all the other specs actually have more
C) Evokers are the powers of all 5 dragon aspects which can and have been used defensively
How come you calculated these numbers based on specs but didnt count priest twice? Also as it currently stands we are getting 1 rdps and 1 healer spec 100%
Yes there is literally a reason…
Most players who play the game are distributed by 1/1/3.
Not 1/1/1. Each being a role.
Why should blizzard put effort into working at something that less than 1 out of 5 people will ever play with?
The majority of the population plays DPS, so it needs more spec diversity. They’re trying to run a business. 1 out of 5 players doesn’t deserve a spot for being 1/1/1 with other roles. It should be and always will be 1/1/3. 1 tank, 1 heal, 3 dps. That’s just common sense.
But your point still stands.
Evoker will put the balance of roles as follows:
- 6 Tanks
- 6 Healers
- 13 Melee DPS
- 12 Ranged DPS
I would say the next class put into the game should be Ranged DPS and a Tank. Keep it 2 specs.
Tinker would be a perfect fit. It makes more sense for a Tinker to be a DPS and a Tank over a healer anyways.
7 healers*
Evokers should be deleted and Blizz should go back to the drawing board. Just having them in the game is enough that I won’t touch DF.
That doesn’t mean the specs need to be laid out that way.
It’s kind of funny because if that is true then there would be no reason to worry about the previous classes which were just catching up numbers.
Yes it does:
Demon Hunters only have 2 specs (tank and dps). So it is not like this is a first with a race not having 3 specs.
Yes it is name me any other race in the game without access to all 4 roles. The only time it’s ever been a thing was Gnomes missing healers until Cata
No, it doesn’t. It’s great that you think that and all, but there’s no actual negative impact on gameplay if that ratio is off a bit either way.
You’re also totally ignoring the issue of race, and by your logic, 0/1/1 ratio for people wanting to play Drakthyr should be unacceptable.
I want shammy tanks as well in DF.
Or just let it be how we do it in Classic. We choose our own roles. This nonsense about how players wont know how to pick their roles…no not true. In Classic anyone can pick anything. But you never see a warlock picking tank or a rogue picking heals. So yea we are capable of knowing what role to pick.
Why I hate retail. So restrictive. No freedom for anything.

Yes. I’d love to make a Dracthyr with black dragon flight aesthetics, an even bulkier model hopefully, and a tank evoker specialization with abilities based off of the black flight.
Right now I’m not interested in the Dracthyr look or the current Evoker specs.

Fair enough.
If you’re forming a group in trade chat in retail, you don’t have to define roles. That hasn’t changed since retail was vanilla.
Yea you do. You dont ever remember seeing “Lf heals” or “lf tanks” or need more dps" in old chat? I am just saying that in group finder, everyone fell into their roles naturally without being forced into them. Most other MMOs allow more freedom with this stuff.
This doesn’t make sense if you’re also saying
You either needed to know what role or you didn’t. Either way, that hasn’t changed if you’re manually forming a group without using LFG, and you can’t compare LFG to vanilla because it didn’t exist.
You’re the one demanding a change, the onus is on you.
