Caster Changes in 4.2 (RIP Casters)

[NovaLevossida]

As I said maybe I have a different experience on what unplayable really means

Apparently a literal definition. And that's okay. I find it amusing and concerning (which it is depends on my mood that day I guess) that the guy in charge of this game mains BLM and released it for 4.0 in the state it was in. It also kind of blows my mind that we were given new tools in the expansion like Umbral Hearts and the big debate was whether it was a DPS gain or not to ignore the new tool.

Umbral hearts fill 2 roles. A filler spell (B4) in ice while waiting on Mana ticks, and trading time in Ice for time in Fire (A tit for tat GCD trade)

The 'tool' is directly related to dealing damage, so the merits of the tool will be based solely on whether you're doing more or less damage with it.

I'm aware of how the 'tool' works. If it was unclear, my use of past tense there referred to expansion launch, not any current debate about the merits of Bliz 4.

The guy in charge of this game wanted to get rid of protect, the dev team outvoted him, so while I understand that ppl tend to accuse him of everything since he's pretty much the face of this game, the truth is another which is that the dev team has enough power to make decisions by itself
