So i actually went back and listened to the interview again and…they are not changing anything about the spec.
Morgan mentioned that Torghast anima powers are not spec related but are generic class anima. in other words they were to lazy to put effort in what they are hyping to be the highlight of the expan and just made generic class nonsense powers.
the powers are not even unique to each class. there is a build for priest where you can mind control rats which will make them reproduce and then you can blow them up and guess what…mage has the same build just more convenient. there conjure food conjures rats that can be killed for an explosive aoe dps.
honestly these interviews are not here to communicate with the community its to sell snake oil. they show up and say stuff like 'we wanted to go back to the core feeling of classes rather then making each spec disconnected fromm its class" which just means “we are not going to put actual work into each 37 specs we would rather cut corners and only work on 12 classes”…it’s so funny to think this is coming from such company as Blizzard.
