Cata was going to bring the Path of the Titans, but then it initially got scrapped.
Then we enter MoP, when blizzard decided "All this shit needs to get the fuck out". Lost a lot of cool talent shit with this - Extra affects on AoE, DoTs being a bit more then just damage, ect. Not to mention the stupid ability pruning - Yea, sure, things like Mangle and Shred were kinda redundant, but things like Eye of the Beast, Sentry Totem? WoD was a little bit better with the "perks" that buffed up abilities - A few were retarded, but most were nice.
Then we got Legion, an absolutely HUGE power gain across the board for everyone. Sure, we lost Glyphs, which really sucks. But, hey, next expansion, we are going to lose even more without any guaranteed gain. Hati with BM? Thats going to be gone. Balance druid's moon cycles, which makes the rotation nice? Gone. Disc with Lights Wrath? Gone.
Not to mention the traits. Sure, a large number of them, such as "Ability deals X% more damage, or has Y% more crit" can just be baked into the numbers. But others? Resto's "Tranq can be used while moving" - Thats going to be gone. Fire's Cauterizing Heal - Thats gone. Blood getting a shit-ton of leech - Gone.
It really fucking sucks - They give us toys to play with and then take them away every. single. expansion. I'm honestly not sure if I will be buying the next one, depending on what blizzard does with this player power. If you lose it upon hitting 111, then yea, im done.
This doesn't even cover legendary buff. Can you imagine going into 8.0 as Havoc, with shit-all fury generation? I, personally, do NOT look forward to not having a huge radius on Thrash, or not being able to stack up multiple PS charges as feral.
