Windfury. Felt so good when you got a few procs and white damage mattered. Cant Imagine how little damage it would do today or in legion ugh

[Nixl]

[Littleraven]

I miss Symbiosis. What a dumb broken fun ability lol

[Faesroll]

Final Verdict and Empowered Divine Storm, if you dind't play a ret paladin in WoD you missed out

Final Verdict had the best animation and sound in the game

[Advent]

Stormblast, hands down. It was the most visually pleasing ability that enhancement shaman had, and now it's gone. I want it back as a cosmetic glyph, at least.

[Deleted]

Not a spell so much as an entire spec. DK Frost tanking. Miss that even more than ranged Survival.

I miss Blood DPS.
Lining up your Death Runes and then going absolutely ham with Heart Strike was super fun.

[Battlebeard]

What the hell are you smoking?

Read the thread. I mean, if you tried Rogue, you see we have 1 movement ability and when that is on CD, it's slow walking for us.

[MisterBigglez]

Read the thread. I mean, if you tried Rogue, you see we have 1 movement ability and when that is on CD, it's slow walking for us.

So forget Shadowstep. Forget grappling hook. Those are useless for getting around am I right? You have more options than most classes when it comes to mobility.

[MORGATH99]

single minded fury - SMF ill miss you till the very bitter end

[-Scarecrow-]

Deep Freeze, Turn Evil/Undead, Shattering Throw and Eyes of the Beast.

[RedwoodOutlaw]

Not a spell so much as an entire spec. DK Frost tanking. Miss that even more than ranged Survival.

Everytime I bring that up in guild they are like you are lying that never happened lol.

[vsb]

Divine Intervention indeed. And I really liked wotlk holy paladin as a whole. Was much more enjoyable than Legion holy paladin. The whole toolset was awesome. Also I liked unholy DK tanking, was awesome too, worse than other specs but I really enjoyed it anyway.

[RobertoCarlos]

Basically every spell removed from rogue. I dont want to list them all it will just make me upset

but ill just say the old coldblood or preparation

[hermansen]

Divine Intervention
Old Paladin Auras
Seals
Judgement debuffs
The much more diverse cast of buffs (all classes)

The pruning really has made this game more shallow

Blizz please bring some form of RPG back to the game

[Marrilaife]

Clash and chi explosion on brewmaster.
Water breathing on shaman. Also totems that buffed other people instead this "totemic circle" joke of a talent they have now.
Fear ward on priest.

The glyphed faerie fire on bear druid for ranged interrupt, and the glyphed heroic throw (gag order) on warrior for the same purpose, and glyphed shield slam for purge. Oh how I'd wish to have those in mythic+ now.

Infernal as a perma pet for warlock.

Gust of wind on shaman. Great for skipping cliffs without a glider.

Cascade on shadow priest.

[Pachycrocuta]

My auras, seals, holy wrath, exorcism, sacred shield, my execute spell, my artifact ability (truthguard), blessings, that AoE taunt paladins used to have that you use on a party member and up to 3 creatures would get taunted. Just about everything protection paladins used to have back in Wrath. I do like Hand/Light of the Protector, but I have lost far more than I have gained.

[Irian]

It's a close tie between Eyes of the Beast and Symbiosis.

I miss having spells that weren't strictly rotational or for raiding, and were nichey and served a more situational use. This game feels so stale without the RPG elements like those. There are so many more spells I want to list, but I didn't want it to be a huge page long thing.

[MrKnubbles]

I liked stunning mobs around me with Holy Wrath and executing low hp runners with Hammer of Wrath. As Protection, I have very few damaging abilities anymore. :/

[ablib]

I miss mark of the wild.

This. Blizzard said that the removal of buffs was wrong -- that it felt good to buff up the raid before a pull.

So they bring buffs back.

Leaves out one of the most iconic buffs in the game.

The fail, that they do, sometimes is astonishing.
