Class design interview with Sigma by AutomaticJak

[Xar226]

AutomaticJak, a priest healer in Vision and recently a member of the MDI casting team, was able to sit down with Sigma to talk a bit about design philosophy.

Note: This is an audio-only interview, so the interview is placed on top of gameplay footage.




Topics covered:
- Class balance and design philosophy
- Tank-healer relationships
- The Mythic Dungeon Invitational and related balance issues (utility, battle rez, etc)
- Healer gameplay and the place for healing CDs
- Sigma's transition from being a game blogger and theorycrafter to a member of the Blizzard team

The focus of this interview was much more on philosophy than specific solutions and it is not specific to the new expansion, but it is worth a listen for anybody who wants to try to get into the Blizz team's head about how they approach design issues.
