Reason i wont be playing Astro anymore after ShadowBringers launches.

Suppose I'll just let those Ice Mages do their own thing then. After all, that's their choice in DPS, and they're still doing damage, so what's the problem?

Because their not doing the 'best possible damage'.

Which is the whole reason the meta-players are saying everything excluding balance is pointless. Because 'only' Balance gives you the 'best possible damage'.

A tank with bole on him is still doing damage.

A bard with Spear is still doing damage.

A Ninja with arrow is still doing damage.

But since none of them are the 'best possible damage' according to the Meta players. That means none of them are useful.

Whats useful to the meta players? Balance, and only balance, because they feel that is the 'best possible thing'. And since its the only best possible thing, it should be the 'only' thing.

Grats, they got their wish in 5.0. Balance is the 1 and only thing Astro's get.

Our entire mechanic that set us apart from being just another whm with less powerful heals is now reduced to 1 single buff that doesnt even NEED any fancy UI to go along with it.
