[WoW] 4.0 - Cataclysm - Page 8

I don't know about you guys, but I hope to god the next class isn't melee (any talent variety). There's entirely too much of it already.

*edit* Actually I'll qualify that statement with this: There's only too much of it because of the way encounter design inevitably has to punish one subtype of dps in some way or another. Typically melee are the ones who cannot be over-stacked. I can't think of any cases where zero melee aside from tanks would be an impossibility for Ulduar encounters, whereas all dps being melee simply breaks several of them. Mimiron's head isn't attackable, 50% of your raid gets gibbed immediately by Thorim's CL, Steelbreaker last becomes extremely punishing due to targetted AE, Kologarn eyebeams give you issues (granted this is very minor since your healers are still standing at range), General flat out can't be done in 25m without using 7-8 healers, or 1-3 melee standing around at range doing nothing at all, and Yogg crusher tentacles become a very complicated mess.

If they just did a fucking Necro class where the majority of its dps centered around summing swarm pets, or gave us a Shadow hunter, I'd rub myself raw.

Pet Class? seriously? after how much they are terrible at doing those now?

Not trying to sound like a fanboy here but how are they terrible at making pet classes? What's so bad about the ones we have now?

People arguing "how wrong it would be lore wise in wow" is about the stupidest argument anybody can make now. WoW shit on it's own lore a long ass time ago with Blood Elves and Draeni. Personally it's tarded there's even two factions anymore. It's should just be one big circle jerk now with no horde or alliance, but of course they have their gay ass pvp system so it'll never happen.

Here is the marketing for the new expansion:

That's one thing I miss about EQ. No faction. Any race can be guilded with one another. I'm surprised they haven't made a faction free server yet.

The next class addition needs to be Healing centered imo. With the advent of DK's tanks are rarely in short supply anymore. It seems they can never make a holy paladin "fun". A healing / ranged dps class i think would be the best bet for the game.

Next class should be Bloodmageish IE from EQ2. You do damage to heal. More so than a shadow priest. You would be healer based. But also do damage to do the healing. Would go great with DKs being tanks.

Bloodmage plz!

Blizzard could go crazy and actually make a 100% support class, CC + healing + debuffs + temp items and the like. Make them a pet class for soloing/small groups but have it powered by their support capability.

But if I can't offspec for DPSESESES how will I be able to show everyone else how awesome I am?!

Mentality that would kill any attempt at it.

They've just spent 4 years making sure everyone can do MAD DEEEPS

don't think they're about to do that, and it goes against their 'everyone can solo' philosophy

Keep up that EQ-era wishful thinking though
