GC refers to these classes as the pures. Everything else is hybrid.In our design, the pure dps classes (hunter, mage, warlock and rogue)
Can a priest respec to change role from healing to DPS? Yes? Hybrid.Hybrid = can respec to fulfill a different role (damage, tanking, or healing).
Can a shaman respec to change role from DPS to healing? Yes? Hybrid.
Can a warrior respec to change role from DPS to tanking? Yes? Hybrid.
That is exactly what he just said. His rule applies perfectly to that.
Rogues, mages, warlocks, and hunters are not hybrids. They can respec all they want but they will never be heals or tanks. They will always be DPS. They are PURE. Anyone else is a hybrid.
You blatantly ignore what he said and go on a rant that makes no sense. I smell troll.

Would removing the hybrid tax get more tanks an healers?

In our design, having two healing trees (priest) or half a tanking tree (druid) or three dps trees (DK) does not put these classes in different categories of hybridness. A hybrid is a hybrid.
Do you even know how to read?
He's saying that they are hybrids. He's saying that there is no difference between a hybrid with 2 healing specs, and a hybrid with 1 spec for each roll. He's saying they're both equally hybrids.
I don't normally say things this mean, but are you illiterate or just the worst troll ever?

So you managed to find an almost a year old post, understand not a word of what was written in it and manage to misspell Hybrid on every single occasion even though you could simply copy it?
I'm impressed. Not in a good way, of course.
obvious troll is obvious, but still in case I might be wrong and this is not a troll post then... erm... ok... u need to play less wow coz it obiously takes up your school time
Okay... nothing to see here, move along.
Even previously good posters can sometimes snap and decide to troll. It wouldn't be the first time it happen. I wonder how to read the fact that he's stopped responding. Realized his mistake and hiding from it, or getting bites so letting it ride out? It was pretty clearly explained several times. If he came in and was like "my bad" I'd believe he wasn't a troll. If he comes in and tries to stand by the original post, I'm betting troll.
It's sad that it's so hard to tell these days.
What GC is saying is, that there is no class that is more of a hybrid than another class. So, the Paladin can heal, dps or tank, but that dosent make the paladin more of a hybrid than the warrior because the warrior can fulfill more than one role aswell: tanking and dps. So even though the paladin has three options and the warror 2 they are both hybrids. The Mage, Hunter, Warlock and Rogue on the other hand is pure classes as they have one and only one option: DPS.
Can't BM pets tank? Don't some pets now heal? Can't you heal your pet?
Take a break from politics once in awhile, it's good for you.
In Wrath of the Lich King his post sounds rather ridiculous - a ret paladin can save a raid by using LOH or spamming some heals until a situation is taken care of and he can go back to doing damage whereas all a warrior can do is do more DPS or throw on a shield and shieldwall/shieldblock/taunt and hope someone is quick enough to get a tank back up in time for your sacrifice to mean something. Hopefully Paladins will not be as "raid utility" oriented and more DPS oriented, which fits in with the changes to them to make them more offensive and less defensive.
On the bright side, at least all other classes except 4 can now be hit more by the "hybrid" tax, so really overall it's inconsequential.

What GC forgot to mention was the 'kind of dps' that comes to the field of PVP as well. On top of that the game isnt only raiding( it is for me when it comes to classes and specs but this doesnt apply to everyone).
-If an enh shaman does equal dps to a rogue with all parameters being equal as well then why would you play a rogue?
- I would play a rogue cause 1)I dont care or want to be asked to heal, 2) I like pvp better as a rogue
3) I take into consideration also the utility and I prefer rogue, 4) I prefer rogue playstyle.
What I want to say is that the earth isnt flat. Hybrids claim that: if I hold a dps spot I am expected to justify my position in the raid and Pures say: I should do it better cause you can do others thing as well.
The key to the solution is the playstyle that suits individual players and most of all utility.
1) no they can't not in a way a real raid's main tank can tank. and not in a way that allows you to tank a heroic instance and therefore to queue for one.
2) yes they can heal but no they can't do it in a way that they may replace a raid's healer or to queue as a healer for a heroic dungeon.
3) yes you can, but you can only heal your own damn pet and neither other hunter's pet nor other healers.
to re-re-re-re-re-re-quote (sth like that) ghostcrawler:
that means, that this fucking four classes are the designated and intended fucking pure dps classes and everyone else is a fucking hybrid.In our design, the pure dps classes (hunter, mage, warlock and rogue)
and the fucking use of too much fucking fucking was fucking intended to bring out the fucking meaning of fucking GC.
