Servers are down and I've got nothing to do so I figured I'd come by and type a little.
So, Hows everyone enjoying their class changes? I've got 7 lvl 80s and I haven't had time to even spec all of them.
My shadow priest is almost untouched which was kinda surprising. There are no new buttons to learn, just slightly different timing.
My druid tank is my best geared character and he's really powerful and the rotation seems like it's really going to be fun on a raid boss but only having 1 AOE on a 6 second cooldown is really making 5mans a pain. We have thorns which does awesome damage but having to shift out to use it makes it impossible to use while tanking other than when running in for the pull. They either don't want bears to have it or they'll end up letting us cast it without shifting out.
My hunter was my main for the longest time. I think he has 160+ days /played time on him which is insane, imo. I've been through a lot of changes with him since late in Vanilla WOW. I really don't know if the new playstyle is right for me though. You really have to take an active role in resource management and I feel like I'm tunnel visioned focusing on that focus bar(heh get it? /groan) This might change between specs though or at level 85. I really haven't had a lot of time with the character and it's really going to be one I have to spend a lot of time on to relearn.
I've not even touched my horde pally, DK or Warrior yet. I've mostly been playing my Alliance Prot Paladin. I started him about a month ago and hit 80 a few days after the patch. At 77 he soloed Amphitheater of Anguish and there was only one boss in the place that was able to move his HP bar below 80%. With a 11k heal that turns 100% of the overheal into a 6 second shield every 12 seconds he is pretty much invincible. He was tanking heroics very quickly too. Being crit immune from talents made it very easy to walk into the easier heroics and pick up some drops and easy justice points.
I'm really enjoying the rotation of the prot pally too. The rotation is simple enough to memorize yet it's not something you can just faceroll. I need to step up my bars to handle the buttons a little better because there are a LOT of buttons to push compared to other classes I've played. I just don't have enough hotkeys to use everything without clicking some things and moving buttons around for different situations.
Ok, Well it's 2pm and server should be up so I can quit typing now. To sum up the post, I'm enjoying the new changes. Not every change really helped me and I've been put off by some of the changes due to class mechanics changes but It's really nothing to get upset about. This is the 3rd pre-expansion overhaul I've seen and based on the last couple of times doing this is that nothing is ever finalized until the first raid bosses start dying.
