with a few exceptions, every class literally feels the same/ but different colored spell icons.
None of the classes feel the same to me…
In the current gaming scene none. Players want every class to have equal tools and be able to have equal opportunities regardless of challenge. This means homogenization.
As long as classes/specs cannot “specialize” in something, class identity will only remain in visual effects.
ye no idea what you mean i actually feel class identity is very diverse atm every class feels more unique than it ever has.
I have to learn like every class and spec that i try. It is not like i can go in blindly and figure it out so no idea where you are getting that thought from
If they were all the same, then I wouldn’t have trouble playing other classes.
If they were all the same, people wouldn’t get benched in raids or declined in M+ because the combination isn’t optimal.
They’re not the same but Legion class halls gave us huge class identity and imo we need -that- sort of different back.
Once you do this, the other player base comes screaming we need more homogenization.
Once that is done, you come again.
Over and over till the end of WoW.
yeah i dont see an issue
healers and tanks could do with an update, but thats it
I’ve lost the druid fantasy when dynamic flight came in with its 5 seconds cast time.
For example?
Yep, all dps specs are the same => build, spend.
All tanks are the same (on base) either self heal or absorb. Monk stagger is the only unique mechanic.
idk I feel like legion more then anything broke fantasy
You weren’t a tauren sunwalker or a blood elf blood knight or a draenei vindicator, everyone was just a paladin
You weren’t a orcish arcweaver or a troll arcanital or a elven magister, everyone was just a mage
etc etc
using mostly horde races cause I’m familiar enough with their class lore to use them as an example
DPS classes may feel the same if You only use Single Button Assistant. Outside of that, they seem pretty varied to me, both in how it feels to play them, and how difficult I find the content.
Every class should have a unique coloured ElementalBALL, Frost, shadow etc. To be unique and it should be 80% of their rotation
Jokes aside, what 2 classes do you think feel the same?
Have you tried playing the tanks?
They have all near identical rotation, be it DPS abilities or defensive CDs, but with different skin and slightly different timers. One tank here, or there, might have a wildcard but you can hotkey them all the same and play them the same back to back (same does not = optimal).
The healers vary mostly, but in the end, (almost) play out the same.
I can’t speak for DPS, since I don’t touch that role, but I reckon they’re in the same route.
Except interrupts and stuns they don’t feel the same to me
Isn’t that the magic of selling a fantasy tho? ![]()
Aka “feel”.
Any example of which healer play the same?
^^ This ![]()
A truly dumbed down example:
Fister MW & Disc = smack/bolt → HEALS! ![]()
Shaman & Druid = preload HOTs to offload heals,
The two Holies = spam your heart out with ST heals and pretend your AoE is good (pls don’t hurt me!).
No one likes caster monks, they can stay sad in their corner (no I’m not serious)!
Edit: I forgot evokers but so did most everyone else, so… ![]()
Again; truly dumbed down to the basic core.
