Mid-Week Video: Frost Shock!
I’ll be the first to admit that this video is a bit dated, but from what I understand it’s a classic (although I had never seen it before, that’s hardly an indication). There were a number of videos on youtube as well in reference to switching classes.
And really? I’m all for it!
I think the presentation on this clip is great, and it also demonstrates the “grass is greener” mentality that a lot of players have when it comes to other classes. Warlocks may seem like the most overpowered class in the game right up until you roll one and level him up, only to find that it’s not an “I win” button all the time like you thought it was. It helps puts things in perspective when viewing game balance as well. I’ve seen a lot of players begrudge Blizzard for having horrible class balance in reference to X class, without ever really taking the time to think about how the class plays or whether in the grand scheme of things they’re all that and a bag of chips.
Of course there are going to be classes that do have significant advantages at one time or another in the game’s development, but wailing and moaning isn’t going to help you. Playing other classes and being an altoholic can help freshen up the game a bit with no playstyles and abilities.
Enjoy!
