Classes on the Buff Block
As per the usual, everyone seems to be quite interested as to which class is up next to be buffed. If you read the forums with any sort of consistency, you’ll run across endless threads stating “BUFF X!” or “NERF Y!” At the present moment, most of these complaints are in regards to classes like restoration druids (in arenas) and warriors (also in arenas). Other classes are seen to be underpowered and in need of help, such as balance druids and retribution paladins. What does Blizzard think in all this? It’s unusual for them to come out and directly say anything about buffs or nerfs until they are loaded up on the PTR. Bornakk, a blizzard CM, had this to say:
“We did cover in an episode of BlizzCast that we would like to improve the effectiveness of Daggers for Rogues, yes.”
” We have mentioned in the past that we would like to improve Retribution Paladins in Wrath of the Lich King, we just don’t have a lot of specific details to release regarding this right now. We did say we plan on changing how their abilities work to share gear with warriors which will help make it easier for them to gear up though.”
As you can see, some changes are in order leading up to and including the newest expansion, Wrath of The Lich King. If you’re either one of the above listed classes, there’s at least some hope for you that Blizzard is paying attention and will properly improve your spec to be viable!
