Class Fantasy Insight Post

The recent blue post by Seph regarding rogues is exactly what I think most people have been wanting for their own classes.

Long detailed posts on what needs to be done going forward and touching on some of the major pain points that people have with each of the Specs.

Is there any chance we can expect to see similar communications regarding the rest of the Classes before the next balance pass?

Especially for Classes that are under performing or need some sort of rework.

7.2.5 will have more class changes than 7.2 (which was the plan from the beginning), and this forum will likely have more to talk about, for both devs and players, once that PTR is underway. For the specs that do get significant changes, making sure our intent and goals are clear during the PTR is important to us, since it gets us the best feedback. As you've seen from the Rogue post, some specs have had tentative plans being formed even before 7.2 shipped, so they'd be ready for player testing with the maximum amount of time on 7.2.5 PTR.

Our general feeling has been that classes are not a good topic for one of the 1hr livestream Q&As, because most people ask questions (understandably) that pertain to one spec, or at most a handful. And with 36 specs in the game, a large fraction of people would inevitably come away from a Q&A saying "why weren't there any questions picked about my spec" (and probably conclude that it's because we don't care about their spec).
