WOD alpha: A turning point since TBC?

[zenga]

well tbh I don't know, doubling health and removing base resilience doesn't really change much, bigger numbers bigger health pools or smaller number smaller health pools ... you get the point

It does for choices like nature's guardian vs stone bulwark totem (shields/absorbs in general). Or making the totemic vigor glyph more powerful. Though it was my understanding that the damage of an ability relative vs the total healthpool would be lower in WoD than it is now.

correct and still doesn't change much, I don't see a reason to use the totem over NG in 5s neither do I want sacrifice a glyph spot as ele/enh for viger (mop and wod). That rather affects non boxers

according to the blog doubled health so damage should be lower compared to health than it is now, and thats quite ok, ofc makes oneshots harder but tbh right now sometimes I even die in the opener against 3 dps teams especially against rogue/x/x, so beeing able to survive an opener from the usual 3dps without having to use everything right away is good
