And the games gets dumbed down even further...

The game isn't even being dumbed down. Stop perpetuating it.

Paladin set is meh, will be transmogged over by anyone who isn't a Draenei.

I still come around for other forums, but what finally drove me from WoW were the terrible design choices for gear. This makes me feel like I made the right decision. This is objectively aesthetically bad. Not because its cartoony. Cartoony is fine.

...It's Subjective. It's not the best set in the world mind you but to say objectively aesthetically bad is... well I dunno how I could explain this. It's also Draenei themed.

NOOO AVERT HARM NOOO

Why must you remove Avert Harm .

[Slummish]

New Pally set reminds me of setting foot into SSC.

[Mormolyce]

It just wouldn't be a WoW patch if it didn't have 20 lines of changes for every class and only one for Rogues!

On the other hand, CPs on the Rogue. I think I died and went to heaven. And it only took 10 years!

[Majestian]

Love the set, but hate when there is neck visible with a fullly-enclosed helmet.

[Zaqwert]

The new armor sets are retardedly ugly.

The "high fantasy" art style jumped the shark a long time ago. It's one thing to have exaggerated shoulders and what not, but everything is ridiculously oversized and clunky everyone looks like 1950's sci fi robots.

Welcome back Tier 4. Blizz is really trying to rock the nostalgia here.

*Retardedly ugly* I don't think you used the term correctly. They never jumped the shark. It's Draenic armor.

[endersblade]

Ugh. That armor looks like an updated version of the Justicar stuff from BC. I seriously hope they don't do this tall of them >.> Be freaking original, sheesh. I mean, it looks good and I'd enjoy it if it wasn't for the fact I've been running around in Justicar armor since transmog was introduced.

Subjectivity is a lovely thing.

And the games gets dumbed down even further...

Every expansion has introduced more mechanics and abilities.
It's odd how removing bloat and improving/streamlining mechanics is "dumbing down", especially when we're still far more "advanced" than before.
Tho, it's not like I expect people to ever put things in perspective.

Don't worry, they have a long, long way left of "dumbing down" left until we're back to steady-shot/kill command auto macros mapped to scrollwheels dominating Recount

But it is,. the removal of glyphs is just one more step down along the ladder of casualization.

And my scribe is unhappy with this change as well...
It was a good money making profession before,. now - not so much.

Removing Reforging from the game, another step.

Shall I keep going?
Hah,. they might as well make the game F2P right away, and make people pay money for gear upgrades - that way you know what you're paying for at least

You can keep defending them all day, there'll always be more people with a different opinion from your own.

[Deleted]

Strict facing requirements can be frustrating to deal with, especially in hectic Raid combat or PvP environments. In order to ease this frustration, we decided to remove or significantly loosen the facing requirements of all attacks that required the player to be behind their target.

Druid: Ravage no longer requires the Druid to be behind the target.

Heh so backstabing gameplay is now a frustration?

Combo Points for Rogues are now shared across all targets. You no longer lose your Combo Points when switching targets.

Yep, its a by by rogue for me.

Anyways, nice looking set.

[Torais]

The first armour set I have seen in years that actually looks respectable.

[Deleted]

Horde should get a version with red crystals.

[deplorable]

i did like the "oh and we also removed inquisition for retribution paladins, we're not going to go into the why or anything like that... we just removed it. we're making that point so small in this whole thing as although it'll make a huge affect to the rotation, we're not really going to mention anything about it"

Nobody liked inquisition, there's that. A simple dmg modifier to keep up is, simply put, boring like dry crackers.
