You don’t have to tank. You can play your character whichever way you like. Other players having the option to play in a different way isn’t bad in my opinion.
We just need to buff resto shamans dmg so there will be all 4 shamy specs in the top 10 dmg across all roles and specs. We have never been closer to a bigger domination from a single class since WOTLK launch and DKs. SOD hype, SOD hype!
People derive pleasure from the realization that they are doing something unique and valuable that others cannot
The rogue’s ability to tank, for example, is an attack not on rogue players, but on other tanks
… like dps?
Yes like doing much more DPS than most other people can
That’s the unique privilege of warriors and rogues. Which is obviously now non-existent
In your opinion perhaps, but there are people playing all the other classes that would probably beg to differ. Sorry the class you rolled because you thought it’d be top dps for all eternity like on era isn’t top dps for a few weeks though, must be rough.
OK I do not want to start a discussion. The class fantasy is already kida ruined in SoD so I guess there’s no point in defending the remainder of it. I just hope at least that you grasped the concept and why people like it
I understand what you’re saying. But I don’t think an era balance set in stone with warriors, rogues and to a lesser extent mages being the only viable options for DPS - while all other classes are terrible but have a couple of more buttons to press - would be particularly interesting for anyone but those playing warrior, rogue and mage.
Most people were excited to play SoD for something new, something that doesn’t exist on era servers. But if you want the era server experience, go play on an era server.
This is fair but we need to be careful not to wander too far from what classic is
Why?
Imagine a pala calling for roguenerfs😂
Just learn to pvp.
How does this have anything to do with his forum char being a pala? Mutilate is too strong, even compared to other rogue fillers like Saber slash, Backstab, Hemorrhage etc
If you play a resto shaman atm(crazy I know…) the only perk you have is that you don’t struggle much with mana due to Shamanistic Rage + Water Shield. If you hit Shamanistic Rage that hard resto will be a meme spec for sure.
I don’t get people sometimes… if you want less Enhancement Shamans, maybe see about making the other specs more attractive, not less.
Resto Shaman right now is the weakest healer (output wise at least) by a significant margin, take away their mana regen and you will only end up with more enhancement and elemental Shamans,
That is a matter of opinion, and where exactly does one draw the line? Do you just give ret paladins an actual button to press once in a while, or do you go so far as to make them a viable dps spec?
The glaring issue with vanilla is that most classes and specs just are not fun to play. They either spam 1 button the entire raid, do poor dps, or both. The most obvious exception to this is of course the warrior, which many would agree is not only the most fun class but by quite some margin the best.
That is what classic for the most part is, plenty of useless specs, with boring gameplay and poor performance, with just a couple good and fun options, the former mostly being there to make the latter better. So is it such a bad thing that we’re straying from this format? I wouldn’t say so.
The line is very obscure but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I could turn WoW into DotA with small changes gradually.
Be careful with changes
If you want a stuck in time #nochanges version of WoW where warriors and rogues are always on top there’s era. The entire point of SoD servers is changes. You’re just disappointed those changes - for a few weeks - had a negative impact on your dps ranking.
I have never said I want #nochanges. I said be careful with changes
To each their own, but I’m fairly certain the new class experiences in SoD appeal to more people than minor adjustments while sticking to the era hierarchy would.
In what part of the game is Mutilate OP?
In Gnomeregan where mutilate-rogues are ranked as the 11. best dps spec?
In the castermeta PVP event in STV?
In Arathi Basin?
In WSG?
In leveling?
In dungeongroups?
Farming?
Killing highlevel mobs?
Aoe?
My opinion is they are pretty much one of the worst classes for all of the above. So i find it fascinating that ppl like this toon calling them to nerf their only viable dps ability. Might aswell just remove rogues from the game at that point.
If rogues are so OP, why wont anyone invite them to raids, STV event, premades for BG’s, heck it was hard finding dungeongroups whole leveling…?!?

The Mutilate rune, not the spec
That simply isn’t true, as rogue is in Gnomer the fifth most logged class on WCL, with over half a million parses. The number one spot going to fire mages with about 650k parses, followed by warriors at 620k, warlocks at 550k and melee hunters slightly lower.
