Extremely Frustrating Pet/Spec Change :/
Previously, pets had their own individual spec. So, for instance, my Crane was my tank pet, and my Nether Ray or my Serpent was my DPS pet.
Now? Pets SHARE their spec. If one pet is set to Tenacity? If you dismiss and summon a new pet? That pet will be tenacity regardless of what you dismissed it as. :/
I really dislike this. What do you guys think?

"We changed this so newer players would stop wondering why they did less DPS after switching pets!"

Re: Extremely Frustrating Pet/Spec Change :/
It's an accumulation of what I consider really poor judgement and attention from the class designers that is turning me off. My only other main character is an enhancement shaman and so far I'm disliking that too, but I'm giving it a couple of days. Beast Mastery is most definitely a lot worse. We're really lucky that tameable pets are being handled by enthusiastic designers in the world / area team (or whatever it's called!). I'd hate to think what we'd have to tame if it was just up to the class designers.
To be honest I'm about a week away from unsubbing for the first time since I started playing. I'm simply really not enjoying playing my characters at all, and it seems they've made class redesign a huge feature of the expansion. And it's not like these are first-week teething problems, which are to be expected... these are issues that have been ignored all the way back to Alpha.

I get why they did it sure. But.
Like Wain said why bother resubbing for such a broken class.

You do have to love Blizzard's love of fiddling and breaking everything.

As if they... WANT WoW to die.
Were I prone to conspiracy-thinking, I'd almost think this was Blizzard's way of dropping WoW so they can work on something updated.
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

You are not the only one who wondered that. Like a kid that's tired of doing dishes, so they break a plate so they don't have to wash any more.Sukurachi wrote:It's almost as if... Blizzard is doing it on purpose!

Re: Extremely Frustrating Pet/Spec Change :/
I don't feel they're trying to kill off WoW. They're still making too much money off it so it's not going anywhere.
I do feel that they are trying to make the game easy per say. I think they want new blood who won't become bored quickly and want to learn everything at lightning speed.
Sad part is ............................ they killed classes in doing this and as such have basically pushed the old guard away.
Like being married to the same person who you're in love with only to have them tell you "Babe. While I still love you. You're looking and feeling old. We should get you plastic surgery!!! Change EVERYTHING! Bottom to top".
Not sure about it anyone else but that offends and upsets me just typing it but that is how it feels to me.
The game I fell in love with has had some major plastic surgery and no longer feels or looks the same in some respects. My pets are all the same. No talents. No special attacks. I despise the I have to change my tank pets BACK to tenacity EVERY FREAKING TIME.
Sad part is. I am now stuck with a sub for another month because I forgot to cancel it last night.
