I play as actual prot spec, similar to a TBC tanking spec. That will still be great for tanking.

[@neoikake]

​​​​​it is't. Thorn away had issue taking back agro. Only tank that got that issue. Aoe? Weakest class. Avoidance? Worst class too! Tbc paladin ad the only aoe tanking. Now? Nothing. Worst i that? MC got unblockable bosses. And mana is an issue the moment you are not tanking. Only drawbacks.

[@MrSheduur]

It is not something that gets talked about much but Tier 1 2set bonus for SP will be Flash Heal castable in ShadowForm. That will actually be the most exciting change for SP especially in pvp. No more dropping out of shadowform and back in, wasting 1.5k man on a heal and loosing dmg and dmg reduction while healing. Plus, taking surge of light rune will then make a lot of sense for SP, because any crit will allow for Flash Heal to be instant, so SP survivability will go up considerably aswell as mana issues will be less frequent.

[@TTMjolnir]

Healing while in shadowform is gonna be scary af, SP was already a very strong pvp class

[@neilbecker1140]

they need to fix ignite on frostfire bolt. Currently the ignite is only fire dmg and not frostfire dmg. Test it out in ungoro on the fire elementals. The frostfire will crit and then the dmg tick its immune to and also the ignite dmg. This will make frostfire no good in mc and bwl so you will have to go arcane or frost

mages are doing the most dps in the ptr and looks like It's going to be the strongest class but both shaman and rogue are looking good as well.. elemental shaman looks really fun imo and I guess you enjoy casters since you are a mage player so maybe elemental would be a good choice

[@timjohnson6694]

They balanced pvp so fights last longer

[@Cozmoz79]

SoD was never Classic+. It's a Beta for it at best. Even the devs don't even know what C+ should be, so they toss everything on the wall and see what sticks and use community feedback as guidence. C+ (SoD we thought it was) is about to expand on the content. Make more NEW things. Like new bgs, dungens, raids etc. No insted they just reused the content. So much potential if they would just put more resources on it. Furgbold gate in Azshara as new dungeon or w/e, things like that. Turning old known dungeons into raids with updated loot ain't new content per say. I rest my case.

Shadow priest changes are good but too little. We have no scaling which means we're going to be good for the first two weeks because of the high base damage of spells. But after that we will be relegated to the bottom again.

the tnt melee atk power thing is ridiculous - they are literally leaning toward melee again, idk why they pick one side of it, just make it ranged or melee atk power so either spec can use it viably. We should've gotten barrage or w/e it was called in retail where you go machine gun mode with arrows, that was badass and that's the kind of bang I'd like to end P4 with, not this minor tweak to fuckin wyvern sting wtf is that shit.

[@105Strike105]

Blizz giving hunters nerfs to main specs and trying to force everyone to play a spec no one wants to play. You want melee well you can do 400dps or you melee weeve and do 600 or play a shaman and do 2k

[@zdubzz1280]

I’m so confused about what you are talking about. You are complaining about traps scaling off melee AP? Any agility stat will scale this. Currently ranged hunter does double the damage melee does. Does not seem like an issue ranged should be concerned with when they are this far ahead.

Why is the focus always on putting later expansion abilities into the game?? This isn't what anyone wanted we wanted new dungeons new quests completed zones slight adjustments finished storylines and small implements to half finished specs.. now it's just give every class later expansion abilities and everyones going nuts like it's innovative and different when it's just the same crap

[@Cozmoz79]

Not sure if I will even care playing when P4 comes out on July 11th. P3 killed the hype/fun for me to the point I feel too disconnected to bother anymore. SoD has about half a year more to live but since it's a seasonal server, all your work is gone after. They won't delete your characters they said but what's the difference between deleted seasonal characters vs put them on dead Era servers? No way in hell they will allow you to transfer to a High/Full server. No they want to fill the low/mid servers. Plus all your runes/abilities gone since Era does not have those things. We already did classic raids back in 2019. Work your hide off for the remaining 6+ months for maybe 1-2 NEW content, aka Kara Crypt and maybe that Scarlet raid they hinted about? Pass.

[@JT-mt6ku]

[@Mug_O_Tea]

I don't know why dots critting is behind a rune or a tier set and why literally all dots aren't just crit enabled. It's not like the dots do much damage and critting will break the game. More just balance those dot abilities

They messed up the momentum so bad that SoD will likely never come back to form. Dropping SoD support altogether to focus on Cata on top of P3 being the worst phase was a terrible idea and no matter when P4 releases at this point because TWW is almost here so it will steal a lot of attention from it. I wish they were able to add the SM raid or Kara crypts by now, I doubt it will have the attention it deserves if they even do it in the future.
