Yeah, it's Blizzard talking to Blizzard. It's hard to imagine that the "team" drafts questions that GC then answers, as opposed to GC sitting down and drafting both questions and answers. As dumb as that may sound.
You can see this illustrated in the opening sentence by the "team":
"In this segment,
we will be talking with Greg Street about the paladin class and discussing where this class started and where
we feel they are going"
Apparently the first "we" refers to the "team" and the second "we" refers to Blizzard overall. Kind of dumb if you ask me.
I haven't kept up with Shammy changes, but one of the Shammies in the raid last night remarked "well, after the next patch we'll be finally be able to tank heal as well as anyone" and another agreed with that. So, is Blizzard
self-deluding deluding itself that it is avoiding homogenization of the classes by only homogenizing three of the four healing classes?
I have a question for those of you doing hard modes. My guild is not doing them yet.
My WWS parses show that I throw around 80% Holy Light. GC says I'm not having fun because I'm stacking Int and healing with Holy Light only, and no decisions are involved. He has said in the past that illumination and mp5 need to be changed so that other stats become more important to me than Int.
So, if I'm back to BC healing and casting 80% Flash of Light, how exactly does that change anything? I'm not going to be using Lay on Hands any more than I do now, and I don't see myself using Holy Shock much more, so that leaves FoL. What am I missing?
I ask the folks doing hard mode because I'm thinking that's what I'm missing? That this will only affect me once I get to that point where mana becomes a real issue? Yet, it seems to me that things are going in the wrong direction if that's the case, how does Flash of Light keep a tank up when it's taking that much damage? For f'ck's sake, I have to spam HL
on Steelbreaker normal mode! I promise, this isn't a QQ; I really am a bit confused by what I see coming out of GC's mouth. In the end, I love playing my Pally and I love healing, so I'll adjust unless they completely break the class.
