here is a thought said...

oh to heck w/ it!
just let every class wear any armor, weild any weapon, cast any spell (under diff names of course) and just call it a day.

the whole notion of sacrifice for benefit has been lost anyway.

if you wear plate you should never be able to heal better than a cloth wearing healer. or do more casting dps than a cloth wearing caster. why? because you sacrificed that to wear plate.

game (paper or digital) classes traditionally were not meant to be 'balanced', they are specialist, able to do something better than anyone else by making sacrifices. you can rain fire from the sky but a couple whacks from an axe and you are toast, same story for raising the dead; etc. WoW seems to be migrating away from this idea. distinction was the reason we had to work together, to find group balance.

How long until we are all just shadowform stealth paladins casting totems left and right supported by our 3 pets?
