What are your thoughts on the expansion and how it will change this bracket?
What sounds good? What sounds bad? Do blizzard really care? Anyone done a bit of research on it?
From what I can see at the moment (obviously subject to change during development):
Talent trees - some classes missing vital endgame abilities but possibly get some others from multiple specs. The 60 bracket decreased in activity considerably when the talents were restructured.
Low level "PvP balancing" - does this mean damage nerfs? Or resilience buffs?
Possible classes coming back - possible specs coming back, stat restructures (again) resilience becoming viable for DPS classes? Warlocks, Warriors
Tanks viable? - I'm not an avid PvE player but could missing vital tanking abilities mess things up, same for healers?
Looking at my 70 rogue.....
Not going to lie, I am going to miss Shadow Dance a lot, not only for the mad DPS and lethal ambushes but also the survivability and crowd control. But then without Shadow Dance, is Muti more viable, or even Combat?
On the other hand this means I might have to spec/gear my rogue with more survivability in mind, which interests me. Looking at the Talent Calc on blizzard's site for MoP, I can get things like Combat Readiness at 70, as well as Fan of Knives. Whilst there's some cool new passive talents like delayed stealth breakage and abilities not costing any energy during stealth you have to make some trade offs like Shadowstep or Preparation (!!!)
I'd like to see some interesting items becoming a little bit OP again due to mechanics instead of statics stats, like the haste proc from Warglaives or the healing mechanic from the Karabor Mace from illidan.
I hope warriors make a come back in some form. The latests news of vengeance being removed from PvP has pretty much extinguished any prot hope. I've seen many great players reroll or level up which is a shame.
If anything I think most classes should be nerfed down instead of poor classes being buffed. The damage in this bracket is ridiculous. I think less damage will see a bigger range of skill cap.
What I hope doesn't change:
No reforge for this level as it prevents further stat stacking and improves the value of a single item drop.
Don't recycle any of the raids. It's bad enough ZA was lost, all the TBC raids need to stay! Still the best looking loot in my opinion.
This bracket survived the last talent rejumble, lets hope it does the next!
(put original ZA back in CoT?!?)
P.S. Anyone planning a monk? (They better not be bummed by blizz like DKs were)
(Apologies for the ramble, just random thoughts on what could possibly be pretty cool)
