Ah so they are doing what the offshore (can’t prosecute) IP-plagiarism WoW Ascension servers did A unique game mode where you learn random class-defining talents at certain level breakpoints. It’s all a slot machine but you can have some insane combinations, like a hunter with rogue stealth, warriors with warlock pets and dots, shadowpriests with the blink spell, shit like that At least that’s how those servers were. Had a buddy who played on them for a while | ||

The BG’s are pretty nuts on those servers. You never know what someone is gonna come at you with. And someone will be wrecking on like a hunter who happened to learn blink and frost nova or something | ||

No PTR for Season of Discovery. That's pretty fucking rad. Metaslaves and wiki warriors get fucked; deep game knowledge and analytical skills about to get rewarded. I don't think the abilities are going to be random, they're probably going to be carefully designed. I might actually be able to play a paladin in classic and do something other than alt tab and watch porn.
Also potentially the lvl 25 cap is buying time for them to develop and segue into what could very well, eventually, be Classic+ | ||

I think I'd be more excited for it if it were totally random.
Idk it kinda feels like classic+retail bs being added but I'll wait until I hear more details before I decide if it's for me or not. It could be interesting but the phrase "tanking warlock" and "healing mage" being used to entice me is concerning. That doesn't sound fun.

Depends on implementation I think. If they pull off classic spirit, locks will be able to tank but will blow ass in some major way, kinda like how druid healers can't even rez, paladin tanks cant taunt and have to drink all the time, etc.
But that was always something that felt uniquely Furor + Tigole channeling their Everquest days and I don't know if I have faith modern Blizzard will be able to emulate that without truly understanding what drives people to classic. One of the fun things about classic is how sloppy and imbalanced it is. So the fact that they're going this direction is maybe promising. Retail being the era of bland homogenization. The game with those changes would still need to feel classic and that'd be difficult to pull off. | ||

there is some information scattered about online from a bunch of different sources with class rune details. based on what i've found, it doesnt look like there are too many 'strange' builds. its mostly just bc/wotlk/new abilities that they're going to allow us to 'plug' into 3 different pieces of armor (chest/leg/gloves) and you can essentially choose different abilities/skills to put on those armor slots.
a few of the concepts look new and could be interesting, and some of them are just builds we see in the future like envenom mutilate rogues or chimera and exploding shot hunters. Paladins get a taunt, and a bunch of other really interesting tank stuff. TBH I bet they'll be the best tanks for this 'season of discovery' based on the runes. Shamans and Rogues look like they may be able to tank, but besides that I don't think that I saw anything super strange. Warlock Tank via Metamorphasis and Mage HoT healing through arcane damage are certainly the most extreme examples of 'super strange' so it makes sense they used those examples in the introduction. I think i'll try it. going to go hunter and try the lone wolf (+25% more dmg if you dont use a pet) + all the sniper and marksman like abilities. Go for that straight up luclin era EQ/AM legolas style pew pew action! I just dunno if I should go for chimera shot or exploding shot bc i think both are glove runes so I can't have both.
