Vision for classes in sod

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

So I think the biggest flaw with sod is an inconsistency in “love” to the different specs and classes.

I started off as priest and healing is a straight rip from wotlk and shadow is subzero tier. Not a fun class in sod and not a class with a clear vision for how the runes were going to give the class sometime special.

I just started rogue and it’s abundantly clear how much thought was put into the runes to create a new experience. Specifically quick draw ranged kidney and saber. These alters the class in a way that still feels like a rogue but has something fresh.

I think the community should be open and vocal about the direction of the classes so that in the long run, most classes feel as successful as the pirate rogue

Hunter has no vision. Even the class fantasy described in the presentation “Dual wielding lone wolf melee hunter” is a meme spec, it’s awful. All we can do right now is run BM with a scorpid and draw the ire of every player in PvP. Is that what Blizzard envisioned for the hunter class?

We had something fun in explosive shot and chimera shot, but they nerfed them down to near uselessness. The other runes we have outside of BM are abominations. If people are wondering why they see so many BM hunters, it’s because everything else sucks and has no synergy.
