In short.

If a pally did more dps then a warlock. The game is partly broken

The warlocks only roll is dps. Whats the point of being a lock if a class that can tank/heal/dps is doing better then your one roll.

I understand that they are trying to work out a hybrid tax. But the numbers are not balanced at all. Sadly the hybrid tax should be more then 5%.

The game has serious balance issues. Mostly because of qq for a hybrid class doing less damage in raids.

In all honestly my warrior should never be able to dps close to the amount a mage/hunter/lock/rogue and put out. Or should any other class.

The margin has to be bigger to maintain balance

Please point me to the non-hybrid tank we have in game.....oh, wait.

Hybrid tax is a concept that applies to DPS only. There are no 'pure' tanks or healers so having a hybrid tax for them would be beyond pointless. I'm pretty sure Ghostcrawler himself stated this somewhere. This article is about tanking, so 'hybrid tax' has absolutely no place in the discussion.

Also, DnD is HORRIBLY unbalanced. Just go and play any of the bioware/obsidian DnD games on a PvP enabled server and you will see. While you're at it, take a look at DnD online and how much they had to butcher the rules to make it work as an MMO. Holding DnD up as some kind of paragon of balanced gameplay is totally absurd.

As much as we like to bash them, the WoW devs are actually pretty good at what they do. They've noticed a potential issue with stamina scaling on tanks, and they are addressing it before it becomes a massive issue when we're all in tier 14 in cataclysm and paladins have 15k more health than warriors in the same gear. Good job WoW devs, thanks for the buff, end of story.

thanks for reading or not.

I have said warriors are hydrids in my post. If the part that my warrior should not be doing the same dps as a mage/lock/rogue/hunter was enough of a hint.

And I brought this up because this buff to warriors having much less stam then pallys in high level gear.

And still pallys are most likely the best tank even after this. And they do comparable dps to warriors. And even to go more far they have the biggest heals in raids.

You can't have a hybrid class excell in every roll. It will just make everyone flock to one class like.........idk how it is now? How on most servers pallys make up around 12-16% of the player population at 80? Even more then the Dk's that start at level 56 when leaving the level area. Hell it is almost impossible to do a 10 man without 2 pallys in it. Just because they are the most used class.

And this is why you can not make hybrids excel too high. However this could of been a plan from blizzard to make pallys a powerful force in lich king. Where pallys are known to be stronger against the undead and against a pally that went against the order.

If anything it is most likely a great idea to make pallys a strong force during a expansion. On a lore point of view. Game wise it is not smart at all.

Hell maybe in Cata. shaman's become OP all of a sudden? And it will fit the lore perfectly.

This qq is more effective due to the lack of punctuation.
