DRG 4.0- Devs- please don't get rid of Ring of Thorns!

[SwarleyMcSwarls]

Doom spike has always been the go to weaponskill for DRG aoe. So buffing that and removing RoT makes most sense when looking to cut out an ability. Plus, the development team has mentioned a focus on removing redundant or unnecessary abilities to help bring up the bottom of the skill curve and to prevent ability bloat. And removing RoT accomplishes both of these things. Also, it seems like with geirskogul and now the new ability (nastrond?) DRG has a frontal focus on their aoe. So keeping doom spike as the go to aoe weaponskill would keep with that and allow you to line up your abilities and weaponskills for aoe.

With that said, I do have some sentimental value for RoT. So I may log on the last day before maintenance and do some RoT spam while I still can. But I welcome the change because it feels like an overall improvement for the class and how people play it.

I completely 100% agree as much as I'd hate to see that cool animation go away...
