The change to Survival hunter from ranged to melee; the move of Metamorphosis from Warlock to Demon Hunter. Big changes. Many people were mad, but it was a bold move.
Do you think they can do moves like that still? Can they revamp and overhaul a spec? Or will it be rearranging the deck chairs forever?
Indeed I was…
They always can, the question is will it be something people want changed or something stupid like the 2 you mentioned.
Because im sure Brewmasters would be delighted to get an overhaul from the ground up.
Heck, despite my personal gripes with the idea Aug Evokers need an identity not that they have been absolutely destroyed when it comes to playstyle.
But knowing blizzard they wil do something stupid like trying to shoe horn in a demon hunter healing spec, or changing disc to pure dps, something dumb.
I say they should change the spec to remove all alcohol from it. From now on, Brewmasters only brew tea 
I think EVERY class is due for an actual revamp. They’ve just been making minor adjustments to Legion design for the last decade.
Contrary to WoWhead’s opinion - shuffling talent positions doesn’t constitute a rework or revamp when we still have the same basic rotations
Yes they can, and they NEED to.
Survival Hunter needs to lose Wildfire Bomb. It makes no sense to spam grenades at the target that you and your pet are battling in melee combat.
Explosive Shot needs to go right along with it. Hunters are supposed to be nature-based marksmen, beast masters, and survivalists, not 80’s action heroes.
Prune the explosions from Hunters for more nature-oriented abilities and give the explosions to a newly-created Tinker class where they would make sense.
I could pretend it’s tea or a bottle of pain meds!
Just need a good excuse for why it doesn’t douse them after I set them on fire… As a warlock, you got any tips?
i think its a simple matter of not having devs who play the class they design lol
warrior class tree is hot dump and its pretty clear they balance via spreadsheets. meanwhile hunter has gotten the most attention its gotten in years and its pretty clear that whoever’s cooking for hunter actually plays the game and understands the specs. the guy who reworked ret in 10.1 clearly played it beforehand and thought “man this sucks, how can i make it suck less?” and built something that was lauded and extremely well-received.
other classes and specs languish because of the lack of developer attention. rogue has been in a precarious spot since the expac launched, warrior dev is out to lunch, ive heard conflicting things about mage (but they always complain because they know the squeaky wheel gets the oil), monk has been stagnant, dk is stagnant
Thats not a bad way to think about it, but does that mean a good tier set isna revamp?
Im always shocked rogue doesnt have a fun, non-complex spec that people can enjoy. It’s too focused on pvp.
The PvP specs are actually a lot easier rotations than the PvE ones… it’s actually dramatically easier
