What is your definition of a hybrid then? Because its almost ALWAYS been "a class than can perform more than one role."

Which would be perfectly fine if you were not grouping together classes that can only perform 2 roles with those that can perform 3-4.

And yes I do differentiate between the roles of melee dps and ranged dps because at this point you would have to be totally dense not to considering you raid leaders have been doing so for the past 6 years.

But yeah essentially a warrior = a spork, while a druid = Swiss army knife.

So why technically you are right the truth is you are very very wrong.

And please stop with this retarded hybrid crap. The only NON-hybrid classes in the game are rogue, mage, lock and hunter. 3 pure DPS specs for each of them. End of discussion so far as WoW is concerned.

[shise]

I like how they buffed Frost DKs for no reason
This patch is going to be awesome, hoping to get some decent progress in ToT.

They should have nerfed frost a bit imo, just because it was mandatory at the end of this patch and well... unholy play style > frost

You are wrong about the meaning of Hybrid within WoW. Just because your of the opinion that a hybrid should be able to perform any role, at any time, regardless of spec does not make you right about what Hybrid means when referring to WoW Classes. Deal with it, you moron.

WoW's definition of a hybrid isn't accurate.

Enjoy your infraction btw.

[fallschick]

WoW's definition of a hybrid is a misnomer.

Enjoy your infraction btw.

I forgot these were life patches not wow patch notes......ohh wait

[Tehstool]

The definition is ambiguous. Could mean tank , dps or healer or could mean healer/dps, etc. Just depends on your standards.

[Kalcheus]

so they dont make mainhand be transmogrified to onehand?

They should have eliminated the "mainhand" designation from almost everything as of the patch, iirc.

Regarding the race to see who has the weakest dps ... you're trying too hard.

Seriously, PvE'ers are the most selfish sort.

LOL i was going to say the same thing about pvp'rs

[Absintheminded]

Not necessarily true, everybody I knew in vanilla considered hybrids to be the classes that had to balance all stats ie shamans/pallies/druids. Since then, however, the meaning has evolved to mean simply more than one role.

[Germs]

This is missing some changes, the mana nerf to Healing Rain is not in these notes. The mana nerf to Renewing Mist is also not here.

[Shaith86]

What happened to the Engineering stuff? Come on!

[DeiVias]

Why is this even a discussion?

Pures: Mage/Rogue/Hunter/Lock

They have 3 DPS specs, they can't do anything else.

Hybrids: Every other class, they can fill multiple roles.

I don't give a crap about the dictionary definition, this is WOW, when i see warlocks running around the street with pets i'll use the dictionary definition.



Pure DPS classes (Hunter, Warlock, Mage, Rogue). According to WOWWiki

You want more proof? go look at who the hybrid tax effected back in the day, did you play then?

Blizz disagree with the dictionary definition of hybrid, sorry.

Where's pyroblast nerf?

where did these notes come from? i cant find anything on the official wow site.

The pyroblast nerf was nerfing pyroblasts direct damage by 10% it was said by GC in a forum, so it might not be on the notes yet or they reverted it.

this is exactly what all the fire mages are asking. the title of the post is "Official", i was asking where this particular set of notes came from? is it a copy paste from bnet or a compilation of posts?

edit: doesn't look like any of the changes from that post made it into the notes. nothing about renewing mist, healing rain, beast cleave, critical mass, or pyroblast in these "Official" notes. we will just have to wait and see.

Ah my bad for misunderstanding. I'm not sure tbh.
