Good to see this game can still be dumbed down. Dont think me or any of my friends will be renewing. Bring out SC2 already!

Yes, I've read these posts as well. However, since I cannot be inside the head of a "blue" to understand what they mean by "less spammy," I really cannot speculate to what it will be like until I can experience it.Originally Posted by Tang
Let me put it this way: Do you really think a healer is going to cast a heal, sit around for 2 or 3 GCDs, then cast another heal in a 25man raid setting? I just can't see this. I think mainly they are going to get away from damage auras, which funny enough has become their go-to mechanic the challenge healers in WotLK. One can use the correct heal for the situation and still be casting every GCD. If I'm casting every GCD, I'm spamming. If my regen is nerfed, encounters become DPS>Healer Mana Pool. Simple as that.
So, there are just too many variables and subjectivity to really comment on how different the play-style will be.
So with resto/balance druids for example or ele/resto shamans does that mean you can have the same gear and using your talent tree change automatically to hit now? No 2 sets of gear?
I wonder what these changes will do to the traditional tank role?
So. How is it dumbed down?Originally Posted by lawladino

Hurray, for making wow eaiser, this game should not be just as easy as, put this in there, ppl should have the ability to choose themself, not just being served gems right into their pocket like it was icecream, i love the confusing about gems and stats, makes the game more interesting and harder for those actually care.

The post I was quoting, spoke nothing of paladins, just which category shadowpriests would fall into, of the two mentioned in the blue post: DPS Caster or BOOMKIN/ELESHAMMY. My reply was given with that in mind - shadowpriests are not boomkin or ele shammy, making them caster dps. Got nothing to do with Paladins. At all.Originally Posted by Twintop
They are aware of it. Check out our Tier10 pieces. Not a single point of Spirit. We're being reworked in Cataclysm, just like the rest of the classes. Spirit will most likely mean less to us then than it does now.Originally Posted by Slaa
The theory is that DPS specs should be able to tank easier content, as no need for a specific gear set due to lack of defence.Originally Posted by fxrs
I really havn't read that deeply in to this, but outright, it would appear to be the case.Originally Posted by lcarnegie

The only thing fundamentally changing is a lessened requirement for downloading some stupid simulator program just to figure out which item is a DPS upgrade.
On no no no.Originally Posted by Chin Music
This is an OUTRAGE!
Weapon Skill needs to be back in.
Removing "complicated" stats. Now you pretty much just need to worry about 2 stats maybe 3 if you think you can handle the mental fatigue of handling 3 stats.Originally Posted by Caradinist
I hope they know what they are doing but I have my doubts. GC has been less than inspiring with his ideas.Originally Posted by Solitare-sp
Haha they think dps casters care about spirit. Give me crit over spirit any day
It's probably less work than you think it is. I'm willing to bet its a mostly automated process.Originally Posted by Jackmoves
would seem to do 99% of the hard work, assuming they know what ratios they want to use.Code:for item in database.items: sp = item.spellpower item.int += sp*.6 item.stam += sp*.4 item.spellpower = 0
Wow you think the stats we have now are that tough to manage?Originally Posted by Tycho
agreed i'm glad it's simplier. No should I roll on this item it has less arm pen and i'll go below the cap but it has more agility/attack power bullshitOriginally Posted by Tycho
Good changes, but any info on hunters using Energy?
If I understand it correctly, stamina is being leveled out, so tanks will be jemming more stam to compensate, as well as jemming more defensive stats, i.e. block, parry, dodge. Armor is being leveled out, because of said dodge, parry and block, since casters won't be gemming for it, and thus will need some form of damage mitigation increase from armor. Remember that casters will still be soloing pve content at some point, and should not have to worry about getting one shot by world mobs.Originally Posted by fiveiron1
