Some hybrid specs sucked balls. Some hybrid specs were insanely OP. My druid's PvP recto spec in Wrath had a bunch of balance talents so that I could do decent damage in arena as well as heal really well. GC didn't say that a "non-competitive yet overpowered build" was a possibility. He said you had one OR the other. Crappy OR overpowered. A lot of PvP retains I know picked talents from both Ret and Prot in order to survive back in Wrath. They were insane. If you tried that with a rogue, you were dumb and it sucked. It makes wow items for you.
I was making statement to his use of words, to which you pointed out specifically an important difference. Not pointing to any event in particular. But if I were to pick a particular point; since I do see where you are coming from. I would liken it to the Mace Rogue of yesteryear. With the continuous stunning, they were still beatable, and many -at the time- would chime in as to how much "qq'ing" was not needed, with all the "L2Purclas" to beat them responses. It seemed difficult to some, but unimportant to others that would just wipe through the mace talent wielding rogue. And there were a lot of threads about it. You can get enough wow gold.
I won’t knock him for how he uses his words. He is very good at hiding the obvious when he writes. But not all of us will read the "What didn't work" title and look over an "and" or "or" while having experienced the opposite of his statements. And any example that could be given, will not take away that hybrids were seen by a lot of players as very competitive at the time. Just 2 cents though. Nothing more.
What I don’t like is that there are less interesting talents for example rogue than were back in wotlk also I don’t like that there are only 41 at 85. I was hoping for 51 at 85 as in Vanilla at 60. With this system you are forced to spend in some talents because if you will not, you will sucks ... also not many builds are possible with this system ... still hoping for 51 talents trees
I enjoy is posts. No reason to stop posting them. They are exactly what players talk about. I think Mastery is a success, I think level 10 is a HUGE success (it is nice to play your spec while leveling!). I think balance is as good as it has ever been. The only negative I have is with choices. There was never any real choice back before Cata, which is similar to what we have now. I think they failed to increase the choices, which is a failure overall. They just need to go back and add 3-6 more talent points to each spec. Just do not worry about your WOW Power Leveling.
It's interesting that they're finally starting to acknowledge that letting people choose not to take "mandatory" talents is really weird and clunky. I'm wondering if a future revision (or Titan) will give "threshold" abilities you get just from spending X points in a tree, like an extension of how abilities like swiftmend and pyroblast work now. So instead of having an 11, 21, 31 point talent to take, you automatically get them upon spending your 10th/20th/30th point.
