You’re all gonna laugh, but apparently this is true:
They wanted a lancer/dragoon type spec in the game, basically this is a ‘job’ from FF14. They couldn’t fit in a whole new class while still bringing in DH, so went with survival, as hunters were known to use polearms. That is it, only that was the reason for RSV to be dumped in favour of melee.
If you have not been paying attention over the last few years, you would have failed to notice that blizz has been taking heavily out of the FF14 textbook lately. To provide a bit of ‘refreshment’ to wow.
Just thought I would share that, as my sister’s (who lives in the US) boyfriend worked at blizz, shared the juice with me.
This seems like reliable information that i have no problem believing from your source or you! You said it/someone said it, therefor it must be true. Now lets all send mass mail of hate to blizzard!
