Raid Balancing = Class Balancing

You seem to be missing the point of raiding in SoM, it’s not to have a fully geared toon at the end of a year. It’ll be too see who can down Naxx before it’s over. Yes classes will be stacked but that’s the whole point of a race.

not completing any tier set by the end sounds pointless. What’s the point of having things in game, if you’re not able to get them even if you show up and perform.

It’s seasonal, we don’t even know if we’ll be able to keep the characters at the end of the season. And if we do then you can continue gearing them later.

ah see, you give away your bias right away
raids are just ONE context, not THE context
you are incredibly raid-centric, and this is the mentality that has given way to… you guessed it: retail. so hop on over there buddy

As do you…you played the game for 2 weeks, so your opinion is of none-effect.

You think you’re sitting pretty right now, but I can already tell that you’ll quit before phase 2.

I’m actually really happy they just came out and said it this time, instead of ignoring the desire completely. Too many issues/desires on these forums never receive an answer for whatever reason, so they get dredged up every other day.

Wish they’d post something similar about not doing dual spec. Would clear up a lot of space on the forums.

Toons can be transferred to Classic Era. So yeah, you can keep working for gear.

I’ve got 3rd and 4th alts on Classic Era that will be better geared than most raiders coming out of SoM.

Same alteast they answerd the question. Even if I feel it was not the right choice but they did tell us instead of ingoring the player base.

Exactly, totally agree.

The game is starting with 1.10 dungeon itemization no one will be wanting for gear at 60. My own problem is I think SoM might be too soon to play resto druid again I am trying to psyche myself up for one of the other classes.

yeah this is a hard pass for me. really bummed cuz i was looking forward to a fresh run at vanilla content since they botched TBC.

What is this ridiculous [Official] nonsense in the title? People really do like to discredit anything they have to say.

I agree that no WBs and harder mechanics that are tougher on melee is affecting the balance of classes, which is good, but its not enough for Ret and specs that oom in seconds.

If they won’t balance classes this season, I seriously hope they at least address mana costs for specs that oom in 15 seconds. Shadow priests oom before the first two colossus mobs in MC are dead in the very first pull.

originally it was [official] memes aren’t getting buffed.

That’s not necessarily true. I don’t know how fast or slow the bosses die in PTR, but there was a reason why not all T1 mage gear was bad - at patch. They had a lot of +int. We did such little damage, we would oom without it.

As long as that dumb spec arcane power and stack green of frozen wrath gear thing goes away.

Cya! Btw, your meme spec won’t be buffed in Season two, either. =D

You should just leave, entirely. That’ll show em!

They’ll be forced to make changes anyway when flask spam or quit becomes the meta

SoM is really looking 1/2 baked. I can’t see it making it to Phase 3 with the population it starts with, or even see a healthy player base by Phase 5.
