Could easily add it since they do have the focus system, but they'd need to rework some of the base UI. Could lead to great changes if they did though, since they could change the current healers to use it too.
The concept however isn't new, and VG's Disciple is fucking awesome. |
Ah ok, I only played VG up to level 20 or so, forgot they had a melee equivelant. Anyway the point stands, and they could easily rework the UI to have a defensive targetting system, would path the way for some interesting mechanics for current healers as well, or at least make things a little easier for them.
It's already in the lore and everything:
Runemaster - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft Quote:
Runemasters are monk-like arcane spellcaster and melee fighters who empower themselves with magical energies by inscribing runes onto their bodies. The runemaster is a free spirit, more at home in the wild than in the city.M&M 33-34 The runemaster is a mystic who sees the power of ley lines. Moreover, those who study runes understand that these are not simply symbols of power - they are the power. The runemaster seeks to become one with the land, but not in the fashion of druids. Rather, the runemaster desires to become a microcosm of the land, seeking to overlay his body with runes in the same fashion that the land itself is overlaid with patterns of ley lines.MM&M 10
Runemasters fill many roles. They are adept melee combatants. They possess runes to enhance themselves and their allies, as well as to ward certain areas and otherwise make life difficult for their opponents.DF 31
