Filed under: Patches , Analysis / Opinion , Breakfast topics , Classes The blues have been very open lately about the direction that Blizz is taking and the goals that they’re trying to achieve. Three, in particular, come to mind when considering patch 3.1 and its effect on tanks and healers in particular: Bring the player, not the class. Healing should be more interactive and interesting. The tanks need to be on par in order to satisfy #1, in terms of performance and stats, yet they do not want to further homogenize the classes. Obviously, Blizzard has not finished making the 3.1 changes, but we can already see the ways in which they are tackling these goals. Druid healing is getting a controversial overhaul , tanks are having their health and armor adjusted, and some tank talents even seem to be creeping across the board. This leaves some bears , for example, feeling like fuzzy, big-butt warriors. How are you feeling so far about the direction Blizzard is taking your main character? Even if it isn’t perfect yet, are you excited about what you think your class will look like, or are you worried about your favorite spec/role?
