Like I was saying earlier, why does boomkin have an ability (wrath) that literally shouldn’t be used in any circumstance. That’s not identity that lazy balance and lack of innovation. It doesn’t break the idea of classic to fix obvious flaws. Hurricane can have 1 minute Cd, and that’s totally fine to limit the aoe potential as part of identity. BUT it’s on a 1 minute cd and the utility doesn’t make up for the fact that it deals 140 dmg a tick with 400 spell power while other classes double and triple that dmg on no cd.
It would be hard to argue that retail wow/MoP (I think is when they added the eclipse thing), didn’t have wildly better classes identity for boomkin at least.
And that links back to the whole start of the post,
I think It can be classic but better and that doesn’t mean it should be retail cause that shit isn’t good.

I’d argue that the current iteration of the game isnt better or more balanced, but I think there are places where to class fantasy is better, and some places. where it’s worse.
Also for plenty of people (me included) that are subbing to play classic specifically it isn’t free. that is marketing ploy to justify doing 0 work on the game. I have no intention on playing retail, maybe when the last patch of the expansion is out and they fix a butt load of stuff, but for now/ the last 6 months my $14 is for classic.
I’m also not saying it has to be perfect, but it can/should be better… and it seems odd to me that people disagree with that. even though it is a fact that some things were originally unintentionally broken and the team is definitely capable of fixing those things now but doesn’t.
