I’d be ok with more unique abilities personally. Though it’s definitely a tightrope with balance . One of the reasons for example the races don’t have anything special to each was for balance and the team does tend to let balance be the number one thing over experimentation.

So I wouldn’t necessarily mind if they added more unique skills in a general sense ,however I am against them adding abilities to the itemization. One of the major things that really bothered me when playing wow was how a piece of armor would change an entire ability or even give an entire ability. Which meant I would only get to enjoy that while I used it.

I’m sure some people like this but this was one of the factors that made me not really enjoy gearing up in wow. Gaining crit isn’t exactly interesting, but losing abilities every tier or expansion is just saddening.

While I’m sure something could be done to make itemization more interesting I definitely don’t want to see my armor changing my skills or adding any. Keep that done via leveling , I’d even be ok with a skill tree or something.
