You are not leveling for very long, the perks are not game breaking and by the time you get to end game you have all of them.<br /><br />Yes you may be a little disappointed at level 92 as a ret pally when you get a healing boost and you were hoping for some more DPS, but how long are you going to stay annoyed?<br /><br />I personally will probably have forgotten all about it by the time the next orc hits the ground in a pool of it's own blood and entrails.<br /><br />And @Shintar - the scrap the systems and redo them at the end of every expac anyway, so no change there :PMarcusMaximihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696297187203285958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-19573292866452157792014-04-08T16:45:25.228-07:002014-04-08T16:45:25.228-07:00Right, but set order or choice would avoid the dis...Right, but set order or choice would avoid the disappointment entirely, while still keeping all the benefits.<br /><br />As far as I can see, set order or choice is strictly better than random, so that is what should be implemented. Even if it won't matter at max level.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-39811840053201949542014-04-08T16:35:45.811-07:002014-04-08T16:35:45.811-07:00Yeah, as pointed out, while you may be disappointe...Yeah, as pointed out, while you may be disappointed at some levels, you're never going to "miss out" on one of the rewards; you'll get them all at max level.<br /><br />And it should be pointed out that Blizz has gone on record multiple times saying that things are balanced for max level. Yes, the guy who randomly gets the bonus to the thing he does all the time at L91 is going to be better then the guy who doesn't, but at L100 it doesn't matter, and that's where you're going to be spending the majority of your time in the expansion anyway.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492971146589461692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-9183397431369894552014-04-08T04:36:39.433-07:002014-04-08T04:36:39.433-07:00I have to disagree. I like the randomness. And it ...I have to disagree. I like the randomness. And it serves a purpose. It gives you a little surprise each time you level.<br /><br />Also, Unlike in the Diablo example you gave, you're not going to get a perk from another class or spec, or get the same perk twice. by lvl 100 you will have all the perks. All that changes is what order you get them in.<br /><br />A random order just throws a bit of a surprise in there - I think it's quite nice while levelling to not be able to plan everything in meticulous detail.<br /><br />Aside from Gear, everything else about character customisation is predictable, plannable - that gets dull after a while.<br /><br />They are not going to be speccing the game around these perks until lvl 100 when they know you will have them all - either that or they all end up being about the same power level. So what's the issue really?<br /><br />Embrace this one little bit of randomness and enjoy the lottery every time you ding.Barryhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879402668344237497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-79849940957389017612014-04-08T03:59:58.742-07:002014-04-08T03:59:58.742-07:00Good point, Shin.

The way they are doing it strikes me as pretty short-sighted though, because they can't exactly keep adding +100% output to abilities every time they increase the level cap, so whatever the expansion after WoD ends up being, they'll have to scrap and re-jig the whole system <i>again</i>.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-38120556376523712182014-04-08T03:18:57.668-07:002014-04-08T03:18:57.668-07:00This could get ugly in BGs, where someone who woul...This could get ugly in BGs, where someone who would traditionally run as Holy (or another healing spec) would be crippled next to another player merely because they didn't win the lottery.<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
