Why do we always have to wait for overpowered classes nerfs when there's a ''big patch'' coming?
It's not like uldar is coming anytime soon and why cant there be minor patches/hotfix ?

I'd also like to take the time to laugh at the talent trees that IMHO requires the most skills:
  • Ret pallies (3k melee swing/4k divine storm/4k 35yrs execute)

  • Surv hunters (lol explosive shot + kill show 1GC)

  • Feral druids (''The rogues who cant be snared'' + LoL 4k maul)


not even starting on death grip in WSG

It's all about internal scheduling. It's much easier to do thorough reviews when the focus is on developing patch content. This is especially true if substantial talent reorganization is required.

Trying to do broad class reviews in smaller patches would delay the timing of everything. We don't necessarily expect players to understand the way a development cycle works -- hell, I don't always fully understand the process -- but we do ask that you remain patient and trust that we come to work every day to do what we think will be best for the game.

You're probably right, but your post wasn't there when mine began. ;)

like all the internal testing done before the mage arcane nerfs were rushed out and then accounced after the fact?

Yeah, totally like that. Your ability to read what I said, find a way to be contrary and negative, then throw it back in my face is impressive. :)

OMG z don't tell them that it's impressive when they do that... encouraging bad behaviour is a no-no in this house, mister!

If the goal is to be contrary, it's not going to help if I try to discourage someone on the forums from responding in such ways. I'm the man, remember? ;)

Lol, I do.

You win. :-)

I suggest that every CM and GM play that song before interacting with their customers, haha!

I wish I could say the words didn't run through my head sometimes while here. ;p
