New Spec's
No, they’re meant to be different, horizontal progression
Nooctae ( Thief ) / Encelya ( Engineer ) / Jane Crimson ( Elementalist ) / Kowywr ( Revenant )
Europe, Vizunah.
Most of them actually buff the class mechanic instead of replace it with a few exceptions. So whatever it’s meant to be, they will definitely be stronger than the vanilla class for the most part.
Im just completely confused by the new specs. Like bezerker for warrior, it gives quickness and crit. Ok cool and you have rage skills on cool downs. Nice but then thats it, it adds burning which ok is what ever but the only way i can use the new weapon is by traiting into this class?
Watching the druid thing today, it was like they couldnt decide what to make a druid so they gave it staff and AOE heals with awesome looking pets. Once again you can only use staff by using this trait line.
They are limiting builds by not base lining classes with the new weapon sets and not to mention most of the new specs are either garbage or worlds better then before. Im not sure what the new specs are atm.
