No, actually I was thinking more along the lines of Burning Crusade's shadow priest.


You know, before it became another cookie cutter dps.



Sometimes raw dps/healing isn't required to be useful or even vital to a party's success.

The problem with support class... is that in progress they're good. When you're geared, they're useless 'cause you can zerk.

FFXI proved this also applies to tanks. >.>

You mean because shadow priests were mana batteries, which is only a quarter-step above being relegated to cure-botting? It wasn't much of an upgrade.

It still wouldn't work. Firstly because bard already has a cooldown for TP and MP regen (and BRD is DPS). Second because you'd make getting a group together infinitely more difficult and much more time-consuming. In case you forgot, finding "support" was always what would make or break a party, moreso than a tank or healer would.

Shadow priests also brought passive healing via vampiric embrace and increased magic damage for the entire raid via misery.


One step above cure-botting? This is the DPS meter mentality I'm talking about. Had blizzard removed their mana restoration from vampiric touch, their rotation would not have changed.
