Hybrid Tax in classic, should it stay that way in classic+

Ya we can talk about boomkins.

Edit:

Shortened up.

If Blizzard buffs Boomkin damage → suddenly they’re unkillable gods who heal through everything and still dish out pressure.

If they don’t → they remain mana-starved half-casters stuck chugging drinks behind a pillar while others carry the fight.

And that’s the catch — healers heal better, DPS deal more damage, and even DPS bring better control. So… where does Balance Druid fit?

Boomkins (and hybrids in general) could shine in PvP if their support role was intentional, engaging, and respected — not just a fallback when their damage gets nerfed.
Until then, they’ll always feel like they’re one form swap away from being irrelevant.
