Shorter range makes no sense

But people want all sorts of things that would be bad for the game. “Flight removal nonsense.” Pathfinder stupidity. etc.

Really, when Blizzard championed removing flight, tons of people came up in support for “immersions.” Stuff like that needed to be shot down from the start.

But stuff like evoker? that’s a new design concept, that is working, let people who want to play it, enjoy it.

If I want 40 yards or melee, I can play ONE OF THE MANY OTHER CLASSES THAT CAN DO SUCH.
Same with for tanking.

“Don’t like it, play something else.”

I’m sure blizz will be offering you a position in class design any day now. Remember to aim for a high salary and stock options.

I totally get what you’re saying. You also have to remember that people have wanted to play a dragon for awhile, so when they were given… Dracthyr evokers it came as a shock. It’ll take time before people see evokers for what they are. And whether it’s good or bad, we’ll just have to see.

That’s why wow has class diversity, and not every class is the same.

You seem to be implying that all classes are perfect the way they are, yet all classes have changed dramatically since their introduction, and I expect Evoker will do the same. This is the vanilla model. Don’t expect it to stay the same, because no class ever has.

If evokers go to 40 yards, it would be a shame.

It would not be a shame for a great many people.

Pretty sure I said this the last time someone linked this. Stop comparing evoker to hunter. Devastation at its base is bottom right there with destro warlock, and hover literally doubles its uptime to be one of the highest in the game.

hey here it is

So does not moving. Imagine a boss fight where neither hunter nor evoker had to move. Are you saying you’d expect evoker to have a ton more overall damage than hunter? That’s not how it works.

Link me your chart with data and facts, and I’ll consider your post as valid. Otherwise, go complain to Preheat about his chart. I’m sure he’ll take it down if you ask him to do so. Apparently he is spreading false information, according to you.

It’s literally the same chart. Did you even read the chart or did you just look at devastation with hover and then look at hunter and go unga bunga where my mobility

You’re the one spreading false information by misrepresenting the charts data

I think it’s pretty clear that despite his ad hominem attacks on me, the reading comprehension of that guy is a third grade level, tops.

Anyone that took statistics at any point and understands the game at even the basest of levels knows how lazy and disingenuous that chart presentation was.

that’s exactly how it should work. If Blizzard balanced properly.

I’m sorry if the data presented by a high level player does not agree with you. Once again, I’d be more than happy to look at the data you present. Otherwise, go complain to Preheat for as you noted:

And as far as “misrepresenting the charts data” please take a reading class as that is all I did. I read what was presented to me. Have a good day. I’m sure you can get a Groupon discount with that other dude that could benefit from a course.

We’re better than warlocks (because chart says so.) Warlocks are good, evoker is fine.

That’s what I got by reading the chart, or how am I wrong?

The chart he is referencing is related specifically to mobility during combat, not class performance.

So, almost like, it’s kinda meaningless?

Not in the context of the forum topic.
