If you think hybrid tax still exists, look no further than shamans, broken in all forms of content

No. Only you think this.

no , plenty of people think this.

youre arguing for era balancing and theyve went away from that clearly with the design of sod.

its not like how it was and like it or not thats how it is.

Play the good spec or play the worse spec. It’s up to you. We took Ret, Boomkin and Shadow to raid in Classic.

Hybrids are multirole

no not that kind of multirole, only the multirole that includes healing.
Please ignore the DPS with a whole bunch of damage mitigation options due to tanking, those aren’t real hybrids.

No. Only you do.

again youre arguing for era design balancing and theyve moved away from this clearly with the design of sod.

its intentional.

exactly.

Literally the only class that can’t hybrid in some way, is hunter. And in some fights their pet can tank.

Hybrid is being able to fill a role that isn’t dps.
Those options are tank and healer.

The “worse” spec was literally unplayable because Classic balance was absolutely trash.

Boomkins couldn’t even finish boss fights.
Elementals had to bring dozens of consumes to last the fight, and that only happens if everyone has enough DPS to shorten the fight.
Enhance couldn’t keep up with the tank in damage…

There’s a reason Raids in classic were made up of warriors, rogues, and mages… with enough token classes to fulfill the buffs. (As healers…)

Classic class balance is utter garbage.

That’s why SoM died, that’s why Era is a bunch of warriors and rogues in LFG wondering where all the healers went.

Literally every class can DPS. You’re being ridiculous.

Buddy.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I refuse to believe you’re that stupid, so you’re just being disingenuous.

Wanna show me their logs?

No. All classes can DPS. Saying all classes that can do anything other than DPS are “hybrid” is inaccurate.

If Warriors are hybrid, where is the hybrid tax? Seems the devs who implemented the hybrid tax on 3 role classes don’t agree with you.

“Warriors were stupidly OP at endgame so clearly the Devs had the right idea with warriors.”

They didn’t FINISH the classes…and they freely admit it.
Why do you think Enhancement shaman in TBC looks LITERALLY NOTHING like Enhancement shaman in Vanilla?

I don’t know why you’d ask for something so easy as a gotcha. Hahahah

Here’s Naxx for good measure

Need any more easily searchable info?

sock puppet account telling me to get good will never get old

They finished taxing the hybrids. Still clearly indicates which classes are hybrid and which aren’t, and that your personal definition is inaccurate.

i get it . warriors have gotten special treatment all of classic era and were on top of both tanking and dps the whole way through.

doesnt make them any less of a hybrid.

also if hybrid tax means a dps nerf to everyone but warriors (cause they are special) you can see why priests had crap damage too.

i dont see where hunters were hybrids in era either cause their damage was complete crap too.

You can’t be less hybrid than “not a hybrid”, so for once you’re right!

Proceeds to argue (poorly) xd
