I am positive. When things make sense. I have a track record of that.
The most recent one is a post by Gambunt in the Shaman forums at the moment:
In that forum I give reasons to why some things are cool and make sense. And why some don’t make sense.
I also have a track record of being correct:
- DF PTR with Preservation Evoker range. Said it would be a problem. It IS.
- 10.1.7 PTR with HPala and Aug. I said it would be a problem. It WAS.
Also, seeing the truth is not “being pessimistic”. Everything is interlinked : Reworking a spec has more implications than just “tuning”. It affects OTHER specs that have nothing to do.
For example: If they ever rework RShaman, because its the only healer that brings BL then it might affect FMages and other specs that also bring it. And THAT has to be taken into consideration as well. Something most people dont.
If that is being “pessimistic” then so be it.
That is why thematically they are in the spectrum “mitigation”. One more extreme (Pwarrior) than the other (Ppala).
But Monk sits in the mitigation spectrum because of stagger. And they dont have a shield. Druid and DH dont, but they sit on the self-heal spectrum. One more than the other.
Does not matter what gear you use. You still sit on the same spectrum line.
