The beauty of vanilla classes.

Stopped reading there because whatever you have to say next is worthless. I have played every aspect of this game and love it all, I do not give a flying !@#$ about what I do endgame. I’ll choose the funnest class I can think of and that will be that.

Keep this mindset in retail if you want to have fun, or don’t idc

sorry i'm not a dirty casual pleb like you who doesn't raid.


Lol “sorry I’m not an adult yet with responsibilities”

It’s okay I forgive you

do you want to be terrible? druid
I lol’d.
I disagree in retail and pretty much since BC you can pick a class because of the class not because of what role(s) it can or cannot play. On the other hand with fore knowledge of how balance actually worked in vanilla you picked a role you wanted to play then picked a class based on that.

Can’t beat that old school class distinction.

Everyone brought something unique to the table.

And after years of homogenized classes, I can’t wait for the old hybrid play style again.

You can heal in retail, nothing's going to change about being a hybrid in that regard in classic.....

Played a shaman and a Druid in vanilla.

I healed occasionally, but not often. Still had a blast.

I can go through every class in retail and find something unique to that class.

And to my point at the end of the day the game has always been based around three roles. There has to be over lap and there always was.

That will have almost no impact in how you actually play the game, besides rotation. Woooowwww

So what? In a game where even in vanilla you had 8 classes with 3 specs each crammed into 3 roles there was a ton of overlap.

Do you really think that a dps or tank cares in the least what exact class is healing them? Does a healer or tank care what the make up the DPS is beyond maybe needing to meet CC requirements?

So what? Thats the whole point of my post Einstein... If you like the game like that then so be it, but most of people who enjoy/want vanilla don't and that what I made this post for was because classes were actually unique.

Seriously do you know how dumb you sound right now?

Me: Classes in vanilla are beautiful because of how unique they all are.

You: Retail classes are just as unique I can list off why

Me: No they aren't

You: Pfft so what?

THATS THE POINT YOU GENIUS

What are you even trying to say here? I am super confused. Are you suggesting that classes aren't unique in vanilla because they have to share the same role? Lol

That is exactly what I'm saying, since you didn't want to quote my whole post.

At the end of the day once minimum requirements for a role are met all that differentiates people in that role is what graphics they have, the same was just as true in vanilla as it is in retail. That more classes can fill more roles now doesn't particularly matter.

When it gets to the point where they are all the same and you can have 40 paladins in the raid then yes, yes people do care. Thats kinda... the whole point of wanting vanilla back? So it goes back to how it was? So yeah I would say people care. Of course you don't care because you are a retail fanboy and you prefer that style.

Honestly idk why you still post here.

the difference is that in retail all the classes feel the same. where as in classic they each had actual IDENTITY. this thing called HOMOGENIZATION that happened because PEOPLE LIKE YOU wanted balance so badly destroyed it.

yes, but the thing is, i can find some other class does that same thing in a different way in retail.

in vanilla that wasn't the case in the slightest. in vanilla classes had truly unique utility and diversity.

I'm just not going to lie about what vanilla actually was.

And sorry but it was just as role based as retail, there are just more options for those roles in retail. I get that people only want warriors to tank and only want to see rogues/mages/warlocks/hunters dpsing and only want hybrids to heal.

I never said anything about what you are saying about vanilla, you are lying about how retail is right now.

When you say stuff like

Thats when you start getting put into the dumb dumb category. This is so obviously wrong no one should have to explain this to you, yet it seems someone does.

Yeah but no they didn't. Outside of a few CC abilities dps were interchangeable, healers were completely interchangeable but I guess sure warriors were the only real tanks.
