I was hoping the DH would have a ranged spec..or even a healer. i know they said they didn't do it because it dose not make sense, but its fun to be able to 5 box the same class and have the holy trinity.

Also, they showed a survival hunter weapon.... a SPEAR? (time stamp 38:16) Interesting! Does this mean hunters are getting the melee spec they have wanted for years? Or is it just another form a ranged ( spear tossing?)

Survival hunters will become a melee class that fights alongside their pet, Marksmanship hunters will fight as ranged without a pet, and Beast Mastery hunters will remain ranged with a pet. See this interview for details.

It also mentions Demonology warlocks will focus more on their demons again. As I'm someone who stopped enjoying the spec when Metamorphosis was introduced, I'm hoping it'll be more like a spellcaster version of hunters again. Had lots of fun playing them like that back in the day.

Great. Made myself feel old now.

Nice. I miss raptor strike.

Its like a whole new class since survival's abilities are all range atm. I am curious in what melee direction they will take it, maybe a rogue or arms warrior type hybrid with a pet.

• I thought this sounded interesting!
• Discipline Priests
  
  • Disc Priests are going to be a much more offensive healer after another pass on Atonement which will make it more interactive.
  • They will still have heals and PW:S, but they will sustain their healing through doing DPS.
  • Closer to 50% damage and 50% healing spec.
  • In the past, when Atonement was popular you would just spam Smite and Holy Fire all fight long and use the smart healing, which wasn't very interactive. This time, you may throw out some single target heals giving players a buff. Next time you Smite, people who have that buff will get your healing, and you will have to refresh the buff periodically.
  • These changes should fix the absorb heavy nature of Discipline Priests.

May be nice to have 2 of them in a team again for pure lazyness!

The intent is that PvP talents activate in world PvP, similar to how PvP item levels currently activate in Warlords.
