And slowly, one by one. Ret Paladins realized... that they were left behind.

I hope this means it'll be released soon. We're badly in need of some new content.

Bad move that Frost Mage gets love the same day while certain other specs are still on idle.

[Trumpcat]

Frost Mage AOE is made strong through borrowed powers, which they also point in their posts, but they nerf the core spec. Now you are further narrowed down into using that specific configuration of borrowed powers as without it the spec is even weaker. (For example different conduits/soulbind/legendary/covenant). I just don't get those design decisions.

They are either creating more work for themselves for balancing in 10.0 or the expansion already has a set of redesigns and it doesn't matter what they do with classes now.

[Alanar]

And when next expansion comes in stuff gets buffed again, because we lost borrow power.

The cycle is getting pretty tiresome with the whole borrowed power nonsense.
