And I think that’s the biggest source of frustration for those who share the same “what?” perspective – we are almost always stuck guessing what in the world of warcraft blizzard is even doing. The lack of anything besides names is creating anxiety and anticipation for how will we be disappointed this time and a lot of the speculative criticism is conditioned from a place of fear.
But none of that has anything to do with why Shado-Pan shouldn’t be a set of hero talents. And if anything, the case is then made for why Sentinel shouldn’t be hero talents for Hunter too. The example of Druid builds out abilities already inside the class kit, such as treants and/or moonbears. And if we look at Monk, since Mists of Pandaria when Monk was introduced, there is nothing inside of the class already pointing to anything related to the Shado-Pan except for “well, they were there too”.
