Critical issues that need to be addressed

[Striker44]

Yes, we do. You're just thinking about it in absolutes. There are absolutely creative ways to scale abilities that are different than what WoW does, such as through traits.

This can only work with certain abilities, not others. There is no way to "scale" something like Benediction, whose entire existence is based on it being the "oh crud" button giving an instant-cast 100% heal. There is no way to "scale" a tank having a skill granting invulnerability. And good luck making DPS classes equal in usefulness through scaling when one has multiple AoE spells and the other doesn't have any yet.
