Rogue changes seems okay at least combat/outlaw, the class have been stale for so many years so it doesn't take much to spice it up.

It's because options get taken away and Blizzard tends to remove fun spells along with it. Remember mind controlling people into lava or drowning them? Remember all the fun polymorph spells mages had? What about all the totem options shamans used to have? It may be streamlined and better, but there's that element of fun that is lost too.
>>
As an enhancement shaman main I am glad we're finally getting pruned.

I'm just glad I can finally use fist weapons. They've been nearly useless forever, especially as a druid. Hopefully they will expand weapon transmog a lot and consider fist as 2h though, I know a lot of bears are gonna miss staves.

>>318761732
you mean enh shamans get removed from the game?

seriously though, enhancement was one of the most fun specs for me, but sure, make it a 4 button spec like every other spec
>>
>>318761502
The whole having 10 buttons do the same shitty kind of damage and have the same shitty animation is fucking terrile. Have 4 buttons do damage, and 4 buttons have some utility. That way you can freshen up the gameplay and have it all about movement/pacing/survival, instead of just standing still and having to press 10 buttons in a certain rotation while watching your buffs/the enemies debuffs. Its absolute horseshit and it really needs to go away. Instead of 30 spells for every spec, have 6 basic spells, and 10 talent choices, with most of them being some kind of utility spell and add some more specs to freshen up the classes.

WoW gameplay fixed.
>>
>>318761259
having odd niche abilities adds flavor to the classes and is fun because adds depth to the game.
You might have an ability that you "never use" except for that rare occasion in world pvp or that once instance in a dungeon where it just happened to be appropriate because of whatever odd situation that came up. It was a rare occasion but it was a moment you felt glad that you picked the class you did.
>>
While I agree that taking away fun niche spells is bad, why the fuck are there so many people whining about having less than 30 or 40 active spells available at any given time? The situations which required half of them were not frequent enough to justify their existence, and the others were just there as named fodder that have since been fused with other abilities.

Some classes had too few abilities in WoD. I get that. Can we please stop pretending that having 100+ abilities makes tab-target combat deep? Because it doesn't.
>>
>>318761848
what spec has 10 buttons to do "the same kinda damage"?
>>
>>318761741
This is my concern as well. I'm glad survival hunters are finally melee, but I really don't like polearms or any 2H for that matter. I'd like to dual wield axes. I mean, I'll deal with it all the same, but I'd love to be able to transmog the spear into two axes.

Almost every spec has it. It being a DoT/channeling ability/proc spell doesn't change it.

Fury warriors for example:

>Wild strike
>Bloodthirst
>Raging Blow
>Whirlwind
>Slam (if specced)
>Storm Bolt/Dragon Roar
>Execute

These are the ones that I can remember from playing it a few months ago.
All of these 8 spells can be brought down to 4. 1 being a basic attack, one being a finisher/big CD attack, and the other one being an AoE attack. And one random attack Spice things up with talents/glyphs to change their way of attack and instead of those, add more utility/fun spells.

Add stance dancing back to it, with now only having 3 basic rotation abilities, it's now a lot more simple and fun. Each stance brings it's own usefullness. Drunken dwarven stance, some shitty samurai stance, some viking bullshit stance. Every culture has it's own view of a warrior from which you can lend from. Each with it's own style and utility.

Add weapon masteries to it, changing the basic spells into it's different weapon variant. Axes can be thrown, swords can be used to parry with, maces use overhead smashes, whatever. Spice things up.

This can be done for every class.

>They have a different description which makes them different
They all do damage. That's it. Nothing special about them except for maybe Dragon Roar.

>Sidestep
Dash to 3 yrds the side you're holding. 6 sec cooldown

>Grab
Grab and choke the target. Stunning them. You can walk while grabbing the target.

>Earthquake
Slam the ground repeatedly. shaking the ground under you. Everyone in a 20 yard radius gets dazed. When dazed for longer than 4 seconds, you lose balance and are knocked down for 2 seconds.

>Gale
Swing your weapon in a circular motion, creating a whirlwind which travels for 20 yards in front of you. Everyone near the whirlwind gets sucked in and travels with it.

You can seriously think of anything and it would work great.
>>
>>318763659
They are better now. Instead of having 2 Blood, 2 Frost, and 2 Unholy you just have 6 Death at all times.

Maybe they won't change them. It would take almost an entire redesign. Thought they did make Storm, Earth, and Fire a stupid-easy button press now. In MoP, a good Windwalker was an excellent player.

He's right. They all just do damage. One being an aoe attack, the other being useable after a certain parameter has been reached. Stop being a fucking wowfaggot defending it's 1995 gameplay. There's a reason why hardly anyone's doing tabtargetting combat nowadays

>>318762953
>>Wild strike
A quick strike with your off-hand weapon that deals 375% Physical damage and reduces the effectiveness of healing on the target for 10 sec. Bloodthirst has a 20% chance of granting 2 charges of Wild Strike that cost no Rage.
>>Bloodthirst
Instantly strike the target for 50% Physical damage, generating 10 Rage, and restoring 1% of your health.

Bloodthirst has an additional 40% chance to be a critical strike.
>>Raging Blow
A mighty blow that deals 200% Physical damage with your main-hand weapon and deals 200% Physical damage with your off-hand weapon.

Becoming Enraged enables one charge of Raging Blow. Limit 2 charges.
>>Whirlwind
In a whirlwind of steel you attack all enemies within 8 yards
>>Slam (if specced)
Slam an opponent, causing 150% Physical damage. Each consecutive use of Slam increases the damage dealt by 50% and the Rage cost by 100%, stacking up to 2 times for 2 sec.
>>Storm Bolt
Hurls your weapon at an enemy, causing 60% Physical damage and stunning for 4 sec. Deals quadruple damage to targets permanently immune to stuns.
>>Dragon Roar
Roar explosively, dealing x damage to all enemies within 8 yards and knocking them back and down for 0.50 sec. Damage ignores all armor and is always a critical strike.
>>Execute
Attempt to finish off a wounded foe, causing 350% Physical damage
Only usable on enemies that have less than 20% health.

not 2 of these abilities are the same, and there isn't a single one in there that only does damage

to be perfectly honest when there are bosses like gorefiend mythic or archimonde in the game I really don't care too much about exciting rotations. It's hard enough to keep up with the encounters without having to jump through three hoops every time I want to do something.

No. At what point does 8 buttons promote movement/pacing/survival? Almost all utility is based on roots, polymorphs, and stacking other healing mitigations.

> >>318767983

the kind of ability pruning that is the most unnecessary is something like removing taunt from dps warriors... taunt isn't something that players use as part of their rotation, it's utility that you are taking away from players, because you think they can't handle more than 15 abilities on their bars... or maybe because console players can't handle 15 abilities on their bars.... seriously why not just let them have taunt and let them decide if they want to put it on their bars or not? if you think taunt is so useless as dps warrior, just ignore it... and leave people who want to maybe offtank in certain situations the choice to still use it... is your average player not smart enough to handle that kind of thing anymore? you need to pretty much make the skill unavailable to every dps warrior?

>>318764349

WW main since MoP here, I don't like what they are doing to the spec. They are slowing down the speed of the spec a lot because dumbasses won't be able to remember what ability they used last with the new mastery.

BoK now has a 3s CD but with the artifact when you BoK your next BoK becomes a different ability to go with the mastery, also supposedly a 3s CD.

TeB is fucking kill, just a 30% damage increase on a 1.5m cd and no longer the unique damage increasing ability it is now. RIP saving stacks for opportune moments like a trinket proc or an add, just hit it on CD now.

New ToD is okay, 10% of the damage you deal during the 8 second duration until it activates is added on to the total damage. It is also free and has a 2m CD and has no % or health requirement so you can use it more than once on single target bosses.

Serenity talent is now an upgraded TeB instead of its own thing and reduces chi spender CDs by 50% so now you can get a 1.5s CD BoK/WoK instead of the 1s GCD time you had to wait for.

I'm most pissed about the TeB change than anything else, but they are also making zen med and fort brew pvp only abilities which fucking sucks. I'll have to play it for myself and I am unlikely to change classes but I am still angry about a lot of the changes, I should have expected the worst when I saw they were dumbing down SEF.

I play monk, it's fun and I enjoy the amount of buttons there are but I do think the game suffers from ability bloat a bit. What are they going to do next expansion? Give everyone 5 more abilities? A lot of the off GCD abilities pretty much do the same thing and are just a bit of extra damage to hit every 30 seconds or so.

Shit like bootshine, true strike and snap punch could be combined into one ability, each doing what they do now depending on the stance you are in and then moving you to the next stance. Might be a bit boring at lower levels but they could give you shit like dragon kick earlier.

>>318769067

I'm personally not a fan of the GCD length, thus why I chose a monk for the skill speed buff in greased lightning. Skill animations are long but satisfying which make the wait seem shorter but I could easily play the game with a 1s GCD. Didn't expect the class to play like a melee affliction warlock though with all the buff/debuff tracking

it's two slow for anyone remotely familiar to playing an mmo.

however ffxiv is sort of like being in a nazi asylum for the mentally-handicapped.

sure there are activities to do and a mainquest so god damn long and repetitive it can only be a ploy to keep the mentally retarded confined in one space for multiple hours.

A roulette gives you random partners who most certainly will be retarded, partially because the wardens of the game have decided you are to handicapped yourself to handle any content.

and everyone dies.

MCH has to do that exact rotation every 90 seconds. You spend 1/3 of your time doing that. When most bosses can be 15+ minutes you spend a lot of the time having to do that opener rotation. It's not like the regular MCH rotation is less complicated than WoWs, it just has the crazy complex burst that you have to work in for 1/3 of the fight.

the main quest pretty much killed my interest in the game. i have NEVER seen an MMO railroad me as hard as that, not even WoW at its worst did that, you at least had the freedom to level in whatever zone you want. but FEATURES OF THE FUCKING GAME are literally locked behind it, meaning you have no choice but to do it. what the actual fuck.

I see this complaint a lot and I certainly agree, if I didn't enjoy the story of the game I probably would have been upset.

What if someone wants to level crafting instead of a combat class because they enjoy that? Well good luck after 50 because you are going to have to do a 100+ hour story until you can get to Foundation to continue your crafting.

Frankly I hate the button argument entirely.

Why does MMO content have to be about pressing certain buttons in certain rotations all predefined because that makes planning easy.

Sandbox games are even worse.

We need a new level of games that make people actually use their brain to solve shit cognitively instead of loading down or up on button skills.

I'm not saying get rid of them but there needs to be more variety over all together maybe.

Outlaw is Combat, which was the spec where the Rogue fought out in the open instead of from the shadows and using poisons and such. Blizzard made it so that you're a scoundrel/swashbuckler type of fighter.
>>
>>318770204
Outlaw is a spec whose lore and mechanics focus on skill with blades and unfair fighting, being a masterful fencer and swashbuckler, with themes drawn from various types of outlaws not just pirates.

Tell me why we need a thousand buttons. How many abilities do you want that do the same thing with slight graphical differences to sate you need for so many buttons?

All of this shit started with WoD when they decided to force WW to be a burst class with ToD, Serenity, higher cost jab, slower energy regen, etc.. They should be ashamed, it's like they didn't even look at how it plays before forcing such significant abilities and changes on it. Making Tigereye pathetic is just the icing on the cake from the devs that clearly hate the spec.

I did very well as a WW Monk throughout MoP, and I thoroughly enjoyed the class, playing it as a main starting at ToT to the end of the expansion. With WoD, before I quit, I found myself angry at how much the game blocked me from being able to play, and how dull the spec had become. I enjoyed DPSing more with Brewmaster than WW, a shame you could only use the tank stance or I would have raided as a DPS BrM.
>>
>jab finally replaced
Wow it only took them 4 years.
>>
To all the "We need lots of buttons" people:

What and how, exactly, do you want those buttons to do?

Let's take Blood Death Knight, for example. What more do you want them to be able to do? List the abilities you'd like to have on them, along with brief descriptions of what they do, and Rune/Runic Power cost.

Also, these have to be different enough from other Blood DK skills and skills the other classes/specs have to warrant them being in, and they must fit the spec's fantasy.
>>
wait what....when did this happen??
>>
>>318757943
I never understood what was so cool about your screen being cluttered with useless icons. Especially when your rotation consisted of only 3-4 skills. Is it to delude yourself into thinking that hotbar combat system can be complex?
>>
>>318768352
TeB was literally cancer and so was the old mastery.
>>
>>318771371
So that you have many options and can react to different situations with certain abilities or create nifty combos out of them.

I mean your argument was flawed from the start, because WoW never had many abilities that did exactly the same thing.

I only played this game intensively during BC as a warrior and I can't really think of any redundant abilities.

And please don't say Slam, because you'd look like a total idiot.

I'm no faggot DK but compared to vanilla when my warrior had a disarm, two charges, even two interupts depnding on how good you were..stance dancing, sap breaks and such - stance dancing seperated the men from the boys

now it's fucking nothing, I never switch stance unless I'm taking a beating and need some barrier/mitigation. It's sad.
>>
>>318772098
I've played since Vanilla, and there were a shitload of buttons I never used, and I always did tops in DPS. Most of what's been removed/adjusted since Vanilla served little point other than minor utility, and hardly anyone cared about them.

It's not "a thousand" buttons, you autistic dick-licker. That exaggeration doesn't work, unless you're seriously trying to imply it was ever too much to manage.

>How many abilities do you want that do the same thing with slight graphical differences
>that do the same thing
This has never been the case. Give me some actual examples or fuck off.

With less abilities, there's less of a need to use your brain. You don't have to learn when/what abilities to use, what abilities compliment each other, or the order to most efficiently use them in. Just use your filler and pop what little cooldowns you have. Great, awesome, exciting! Rotation-based combat is unengaging enough already, and they've been gradually pruning them already. The last fucking thing this game's combat needs is even less things to do.
>>
>>318772638
We dual blades now
>>
>>318764516

Fistweaving was absolutely fucking awful and impossible to balance. Either you drop all the healing requirements for raids or you make them the mandatory healing class.
>>
>>318773768
So fucking wrong, but they didn't even try so what do we know. Fistweaving was so half assed that it wasn't even funny. It was literally just 3 moves with some HoTs thrown in. If Blizzard actually put some effort into it, it could have been a neat niche healer. But they didn't and so we got the most terribly balanced class in history with it.
>>
>>318774628

Being a damage addition + having competitive healing means that they're objectively superior to every other healing spec. So either they do shit damage and thus make the whole process worthless, do shit healing which means they don't exist after LFR, or you remove it and focus on making them mist centric. Holy Paladin is a melee healing spec now and is pretty much a better formula.

around the same time they add 4th specs for all the classes. So likely never ever.

Although if they did I'd imagine:

Deathknights get a pure ranged dps spec.

Demon Hunters get a spell DPS spec that involves mana burns and spell-stealing. They could also get a ranged physical dps spec akin to the Diablo 3 Demon Hunter.

Druid Gets nothing, they have 4 specs.

Hunters get a pet tanking spec where their gameplay involves lots of mini-tank swapping and splitting damage between pet and hunter.

Mages get a Chronomancy based healing spec. "Rewinding Damage" to undo injuries.

Monks get a ranged Spell DPS that's basically hadouken spam: the class. Perhaps have some pseudo ranged spells that are like Seven Sided Strike?

Paladins get a ranged Holy DPS spec. Holy shocks, smites, and concecrations.

Priests get a mid-ranged bubble... perhaps even a vampiric leech-tank spec as well as you suggested, similar to blood DKs.

Rogues get evasion tanking, perhaps convert Outlaw into this, I kinda feel like if you're going to do a "less stealthy, more duelist" rogue you should be able to have a tank variant.

Shamans get an elemental styled tanking spec. You shift through various elemental shields to do certain things: Lightning to build up threat, earth to block and absorb damage, water for some clutch self healing, etc.

Warriors get a healing spec, all based on shouts, banners, and setting up shield blocks.

Warlocks get a demon tanking spec involving leeching and putting as many demons in between you and your enemy as possible.

I have been playing my shaman on a game pad since WotLK so it wouldn't really change much for me.

The only real problem has been targeting which I solved by using the right stick to move the mouse cursor, because tab targeting didn't allow me to change targets how I wanted to in boss fights.

I can't fucking believe people still play this garbage fucking game. MORE ability pruning? Fuck Blizzard, just fucking go bankrupt already.

Shit its been awhile since i played FFXIV with my DS4 but if i remember the way they do it you have 16 ability buttons, 4 on dpad, 4 on the face buttons and then holding L2, switched to Bar 2, and let you use another 8.

There was also another option to scroll through more bars by pressing R1. And another option i didn't use to make it so you could have even more buttons. It takes some getting use to but it does work and felt comfier for me since i don;t have a mouse with keybinds.

What level were you? Most people wisen up after hitting VR10 or so and start to specialize. That being said there are a lot of idiots on consoles.

Tbh I was hyped for consoles release and I migrated from PC which was probably the worst decision ever, because even though I prefer to use a controller in this game its impossible to find groups and good groups are non existent. Guilds are a clusterfuck too. MMOs without text chat just don't work

I dont know what people liked about it, aside from the concept of using a sword and shield for DPS.

The gameplay was boring as fuck and when it was allowed to have competitive DPS it was bullshit because of the superior survivability it offered compared to the other specs.

I dunno, I quit during Throne of Thunder because of guild drama. I was tired of 20-30 year old men fighting over loot.

All I remember is Disc Priests not allowing you to heal at all and Paladins snipe healing everything.

Did it change at all?
>>
Wonder why Blizz added monks. They clearly hated them every step of the way. In WoD my dps pretty much stood still the first months. Simply because everytime I got a new piece of gear they threw another 5% nerf at windwalker. Sure they were op to begin with, but my god did they decide that monks had to die. Only did decent damage on storm, earth and fire bosses in the end. And gave up.

>>318784257
Paladins will always be the strongest single target healers.
Discs shields are getting toned down.

Resto didnt change a lot since MoP. More focus on chain heal rather than healing rain, smart heals dumbed down a bit and a talent that allows you to force your chain heal bounces onto your riptide targets so you get more control.
Aside from that its pretty much the same shit, and always strong.
>>

Monks came too close to Mage DPS, and when you try to challenge Mages you'll get your legs broken because you dared to try.

We were only strong during progression due to people actually taking damage.

>>318785005
I don't even know how to respond to that.
Ballsy move tho.
>>
>>318784254
Dunno about others, but it was the most frenetic high intensity playstyle. In order to play it correctly and get the most DPS you needed 100 APM minimum with all the off cooldown shit you had to do. The only other class that came close was Fury warriors and they only had like 60 APM required during their burst phase. I liked having shit to do, playing a class where you press a few buttons every once in a while and watch the global cooldown in between is boring.
>>
>>318785203
Having less buttons isn't bad but having less options is objectively bad

Removing fun spells or interesting ones just because "they arent in muh rotation" is fucking stupid and takes away from the class's identity

>>
>>318785273
It wasnt bad, they just want to make them melee healers as a new concept. And they kinda wanna get rid of shields.

And you know, they even give you a talent option that simply copies your mastery effect onto your Beacon, so you can still stay and range and heal into the melee/tank camp.

The problem is multistrike was just another name for crit near the end of WoD. It really served no purpose that wasn't already filled. Removing it completely seems a bit overkill as it could have been nice as spec or class only. Shaman for instance fit perfectly with the multistrike fantasy as do a few other specs/classes.
>>

Gladiator spec was always retarded because it had the same playstyle was protection. It only felt fast because it was the only melee class to have a free, spammable filler ability, devastate.

WoW was always casual shit from day one when compared to its predecessors, the Big Three (Ultima Online, EverQuest, Asheron's Call)

>>318787883
Yes, but stuff like that was removed long ago. Back in vanilla wow, some of your abilities were "strictly worse" versions of other ones, but that hasnt been the case in forever. Whats being removed now is situational stuff.

For example, ret paladin is having taunt removed. Sure, as a ret paladin I'll rarely use taunt, but having it opens up the door for all sorts of shit (bubble taunting to save tanks, bubble taunting mechanics(whole strats can be built around this), bubble taunting after tank death to save the raid, taunting to move a boss around)

>>318788130
>racials
One ability
>pots
idk when the last time you played, but pots are super limited now. Fun stuff like free action postions are gone, now what youve got his health pot, 2 kinds of mana pot (share a cooldown), and a stat boost pot.
>engineering
useless in wod, supposed to be reworked for legion so we'll see

>>318788164
Thats the WOD tree you literal retard, the legion one gives him at most 5 more abilities because one row is entirely passive and he already has one from another row
>>
>>318788626

It's making class identities more distinct. DPS classes shouldn't have taunts.
>>
>>318788626
>bubble taunting to save tanks
>Then the boss turns around and wipes the raid with a cone aoe

>>
>>318788767
How is it making class identities more distinct? "bring the player not the class" is still in full effect. Buffs/debuffs are still limited to like 10 categories. Every class is still balanced to do the same damage.

Because you, as a DPS, have no functioning use for taunt. It's removing unnecessary fat and preventing people from being retards like >>318788858 describes.

>>
>>318788967
I join up at every expansion with the intent of riding the roller-coaster for a few months then I quit.

The first few months of a wow expansion are usually a lot of fun, pvp is entertaining before the tryhard sets in, the leveling is always a good time, fresh dungeons are interesting and the first raid tier is usually pretty well put together.

After those months the skinner-box content is pushed and the game is no longer worth playing.

Sub when an expansion is about to hit, quit a few months after. you'll enjoy the game a lot more.
>>
>>318789152

>LESS distinct

No, because they're hold overs from the tank specs classes instead of, rightfully, being exclusive to the tank spec.

>Can you not read?

Just because you think you're being useful doesn't mean you are, if the tank is at all competent he doesn't need some retard Ret dropping a taunt on something. You ruin more things than you save with it in the game.

You do realize that some classes that didn't even have a tank spec used to have a taunt?

>less distinct
Yes, less distinct. Right now DPS can be broken into two categories, ones with taunts and ones without taunts. In legion, there is only one category, DPS. That is by definition less distinct.

>you arent helping!
Look man, i dont know what kind of low level retard raiding you do, but good players are able to make those high risk, high reward plays. You can make entire strats around cheesing stuff with bubble taunt, and bubble taunt being gone is a lack of variety and options.

Now they don't because it was a retarded design decision.

>>318789601
How is it a retarded design decision? Please, explain it to me.

Big wonder why they are getting rid of this niche bullshit that is only used in exploit cases
>>
>>318789559
>but good players are able to make those high risk, high reward plays
Jesus christ you don't raid, like at all do you?
>>
>>318789559
But I want my class to be able to do everything that every other class can do. Why should one class have better AOE or better CC? This is bullshit. Class distinction is classist. I want every class to be made equal in their ability.

>only used in exploits
is saving your raid after a tank death an exploit?
is taking stacks so your tank has time to drop his after an OT death an exploit?

>>318789815
Your LFR or Flex experience doesnt count as raiding senpai, just sit down. If you think that bubble taunting is some kind of aberrant thing you are an awful player.
>>
>>318789559
>DPS taunting the boss and killing half the raid to protect the tank who was perfectly fine since tanks have 6+ defensive cooldowns is a HIGH REWARD play
God damn this is some hilarious shit
>>
>>318789716

It's been explained to you in multiple posts. It's a tanking facet put into a DPS class who has no use for it. DPS players like to think they're helping but the reality is having it just means that you run the risk of having some tard "help" the tank and taunt away aggro at a bad time. It's being removed because it's useless in 80% of situations and exploitable in the other 20%, thus it's an awful design decision.

>this mad that you can't ruin a run anymore

C'mon now.
>>
>>318789916
I dont think thats what i said chief, pretty sure i said taunting to save the tank, which implies he will die without it. I know those normal mode bosses arent much of a threat to your tank but you gotta remember that isnt even raiding.

i'm sorry you are so casual you want everything spoonfed to you without having to work for it, that's just embarrassing.

EQ also isn't nearly as grindy as any korean game like classic maplestory or lineage 1 or 2, so you just make yourself look even worse by complaining about how grindy it was.

i'm sorry you couldn't be in a top 5 gamewide guild getting game first kills everywhere because you're too casual.
>>
>>318789907
There are zero abilities that bosses do that give stacks that drop fast enough for you to "save" your tank. If your tank is getting too many stacks your off-tank fucked up. Hell its the offtanks entire job to do what you are "attempting" to do.

Bottom line is, if your tank is dying/dead. Someone important fucked up, and your dumb ass is only delaying the inevitable

No one said that at all you incompetent retard

truly the modern wow playerbase is the lowest of the low

You should a seen the start of the cata alpha. It was wotlk with an 82 level cap, no other tangible difference.

Yup pretty much. Although if its a physical attack i could do it again with a BOP on a physical dps with a taunt (druid, dk, warrior) or a healer with a taunt (monk, druid, paladin).

The point is it was something you could clutch and make the difference between a wipe and a kill with good play. It was something unique paladins brought. Now its gone. That is class diversity, skill cap and strategy variety all diminished, which people are somehow trying to portray as a positive.
