Worst Outcome Possible

[Lucifer]

Lucifer, please re-read the text you keep quoting. As you say, it is quite clear. It says that debuffs are being put on the back burner until after version 2.0 is released. Let's read it again:



Notice the word "before." I have no plans of further explaining their use of this word before I go home (however, I fully intend to explain again after I get home, as I fear you will still not get it).

Additionally, your issue is that you are losing what you consider a THM to be. It is your loss of identity that you are seemingly upset about, not the overall effect on the game. You see yourself as an excellent debuffer, and you are losing that ability after the patch. You are left with a few choices to address this challenge: You can adjust and become an excellent nuker, you can switch classes into something that you feel would give you back your identity, or you can quit the game until they release a class that has an ability list which you feel suits your identity. Whichever choice you make, the majority of the community will be playing a much more satisfying game.

In your opinion, yes? In my opinion, it will be simplified to the point it will resemble other games and not be very satisfying.
Two different ends of the spectrum.

As far as I'm concerned, the use of before is stating how the spells will not be seen for a whole year. That is quite some time. A whole year of adjusting to a different game. Then, in one years time, they will add debuff spells. I don't know how I feel about that. Wouldn't you have to mold the game around these changes beforehand?
