Those druid forms are very old. They clearly need more customization options soon.

I wonder if shaman would get any traction if the pros decided to just say screw it and run a full shaman team minus tank in the mdi or triple shaman in the awc just everybody rolling a shaman on live streaming in front of thousands of people so they can truly see how thrown to the wayside itâs been?
sighs Donât give Blizzard any more credit than theyâve ever earned. Facts: 1) Blizzard suffers from some sort of mental instigated design flaw syndrome for which they muck things up before they fixed it and then declare JOB DONE as part of the expansion; 2) Blizzard does in fact, by action, pick winner and loser classes/specs. If they truly cared about the PLAYER EXPERIENCE, theyâd balance specs all the time; 3) Bobby is gone, this ainât his world anymore, so what gives Blizzard?

The thing is that they would post something like âHey weâre working on it guys donât worryâ and weâd all rightfully go âwhat are you working on specificallyâ. Weâd either get met with silence and then weâd put our heads through our monitors.
The issue is I imagine weâre getting silence for now because theyâre trying to get the Hero Talents to work properly given a lot of bugs, stuff not implemented, and weird interactions with some talents.
The thing I am dooming about is the Enhance tier set as it is now. Right now itâs unbelievably busted to the point that itâs overcompensating for weaknesses and issues with the spec tree and hero talents. Without the talent set, it makes no sense to play the standard single-target Elementalist Build with Stormbringer but with the tier set it probably is the best single-target damage. Theyâre gonna nerf the tier set for sure but Iâm hoping they donât do some knee-jerk direct nerfs.
Youâre wrong about this. No communication is always worse than lackluster communication.

Fair. I suppose Iâm speaking about my perspective because I would personally be more irate seeing a lackluster response when itâs clear from my perspective that they are currently just trying to fix bugs with the hero talents at this time and the class/spec tree changes are going to come late with little time to iterate on them due to them dragging their feet. If if the changes are steller, you still need to iterate on them which was a big issue with enhance going into DF. If they had more to time iterate back then, we probably would have started DF with the MSW generation issues fixed for Elementalist and Storm would have likely been the version we had in Season 2 with the rest of the expac to refine the both of them. Instead, they ended up fixing up one build at a time each patch while neglecting the other.
The realistic expectation, as much as I know I will be throwing metaphorical things at the wall for this as well, is that quite literally anything given at this point wonât be enough. Unless thereâs a massive amount of changes coming in todays build, with iterations coming each subsequent week while we still have some time left for design iteration, anything they say or do is just going to cause more uproar.
The tuning is starting to matter at this point in beta but any kind of meta build is far from realized.
While people are finding success blending certain builds and hero talents, itâs still a broken (storm) or inefficient (spec tree in general) system holding up the absolutely horrendous and lackluster hero talents. Tuning can be the difference between any of the 4+ build/hero talent combinations being passable or absolute hell.
I agree with this so much so I wanted to give some examples on this.
Survival Hunter and Demonology Warlock are some good examples of this.
The choice in which classes/specs have access to legendary items or special items is a good example of them picking and choosing which class/specs to elevate.
And in the past they deliberately mega nerfed Demonology Warlock to suppress players wanting to play that spec.
