And they didn't even really get rid of spellpower. You still have it on some items and on enhancements/enchants, and you need to know it to know how hard your spells will hit. You are just getting it from intellect now. <br /><br />It's certainly a lot easier to gear a tank now, but other than that I don't see that much has changed in terms of complexity.<br /><br />I do very much like the gear approach for shamans where I can use the exact same gear set for ele and resto and be pretty close to minmax, as spirit is probably the second best stat for both specs now (ele gets hit, and resto gets Mp5 in combat), so my shammy is looking set.<br /><br />spirit is back to being entirely useless for arcane mages though.The Gnome of Zurichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203965173625552516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-79764340745567344912010-10-26T05:31:29.026-05:002010-10-26T05:31:29.026-05:00the journey is usually required in order to unders...<i>the journey is usually required in order to understand</i><br /><br />Of course, there are some people like myself, who knew from the beginning that making every reasonable level 80 item epic, would not be the answer to our prayers.<br /><br />Perhaps I am just too smart for this planet :)Nilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468755466492675831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-56838764294393416122010-10-25T07:41:58.893-05:002010-10-25T07:41:58.893-05:00They're turning back the wheel in many ways, y...They're turning back the wheel in many ways, yes. not just the stat-heavy items, but overall the simplification of stats and talents, the (supposed) changes to healthpools and mana management, the (again supposed) changes to epic gear.<br /><br />I guess it's the old story about experimenting for a while and then reverting to older values and arriving where you started. it's not a bad thing, the journey is usually required in order to understand what can be done better but also what wasn't actually broken - maybe they can find a middle way to approach some of the core issues of the game in Cataclysm. the theme of the expansion is a comeback of sorts too, so it all comes together nicely. we'll see. ;)Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.com
