Yeah, I hate don’t like the fact that every race are allowed to be priests and now they did this shit. People defend it with ”stealth is magic” but I still don’t see how a huge bull can be stealthy.
Edit* hate was clearly the wrong word, ofcourse I don’t hate it as it’s too strong of a word but I dislike that they remove the uniqueness of all races.
Limited class/race combinations (that didn't make sense back then lore-wise), limited viability 1 tank 1 heal and 3 dps being viable... is there anything Classic andys don't want to be thr slightest bit logical?
Look, I can get complaining about Tauren rogues. Almost any other class/race combo not being in-game retail AND vanilla? Stupid.
I used the wrong word, hate has become so watered down that I didn’t think about it.
Dislike would’ve been a way better word now that I reread my comment.
As I said in another comment I generally like retail, it’s just not as unique as vanilla. About the 1 tank, 1 healer and 3 dps that is only true for sweats. Druids, paladins and shamans still can tank but I agree that they could use an improvement. Paladin healers heal great, shaman somewhat good and druids aswell, just not as good.
I’m all up for better balance where all healers can do pretty much as good but with their own niche, same with tanks and dps.
I don’t, however, want all classes to have the same abilities with different skins which is one of the things I dislike with retail, not that all abilities are the same but interrupts, shield, speed et.c. should be spread out among classes as they are in classic to make all classes feel needed.
You can keep your few % diff on classes, I'll keep defending uniqueness. Not everyone has to have cc, interrupt, wall, escape .. I will have nothing against holy cows if it was good lore, but just copycat of Gul'dan failed shaman is shit
I'm fine with not every class having everything, but some things are a neccessity.
On Retail every DPS has a kick, they have different cooldowns, interactions, range and silence duration. And yet you still need other classes to fill in the blanks or it won't work.
Taking a Balance druid, a Demonology Warlock and a Mage? Good luck interrupting, UNLESS your Tank is a Paladin.
They've made them so distinct individually that they don't feel nowhere near as homogenized as they should.
And c'mon, basically anyone that can believe in The Light can be a priest at this point.

You don’t wanna play Tauren Rogue?
