FTA: "The original philosophy was more, 'We'll just throw all this stuff at players and they'll figure out through trial and error how things work.'"

Actually the original philosophy was more, "We'll just throw all this stuff at players and they'll figure out through trial and error that half of it doesn't work."

To wit: Arcane, Assassination, Discipline, Feral, Balance, Retribution, Protection (paladin), Enhancement, Elemental, Beast Mastery.

For all the complaints about the current dev team, at least they appear to give a crap about viability for all specs, more so in Cataclysm.

As someone who once attempted to play an arcane mage in vanilla, and had the joy of *talenting* Arcane Explosion down to an instantaneous spell, all I can say is "THIS."

One of the reasons there were so many Affliction locks in Vanilla & BC is because you had to spend 5 points in improved corruption to make it instant.

The old game was kinda weird...
