Comment by tomekdhOh dear i missed it !Comment by szymon55579That's niceComment by AlurieMy mage buff is coming back! Thank you Blizz! ;w;Comment by MellocoastAbout time they came back.Comment by Danv0rsFINALLY! It was such a bad decision to remove these from a ROLE PLAYING GAME! Sure, bring the player, not the class, but the class and theirs specific advantages HAVE to matter!Comment by LanzeeI have been missing this, except in the battlegrounds, where you die constantly, mount, forgot the buff, apply, remount and so on. But in Pve, the applying of buffs is kinda nice preparation before the pullComment by WyldefyrHeh. Shaman: Unknown. Figures, that's what I main.Comment by TheSlimeKingFinally, can't wait.Comment by VicktorolHopefully no more 5+ druids and 5+ rogues in mythic raids now :>Comment by EraclitoWell, this is... nice to hear, I missed them. I know that's a silly thing, but refreshing my buff before a fight was a personal charm ritual. I hope they kept saved data of who bought Dalaran Brilliance tome, because I'd be annoyed if i had to camp it again from the limited vendor :PComment by RyuenjinI'm betting shaman give crit. It looks like the only major buff missingComment by YolstrunFinally I get my buff spam back!Comment by ofekbejeAspect of the pack. oh no...Comment by HuntaerFinally we'll be seeing more than just druids and paladins in the raid again!Comment by novavistaI don't remember the reasoning for removing them. But I'm glad they're back?Comment by VarsicoI hope hunters get changed to critical, one of the few dps-only classes getting a movement speed aura seems strange. Shamans should get that speed buff or a multistrike buff (which is hopefully not a totem you have to keep dropping if people move).Comment by spid3rs1Im so happy that they gave us back the buffs i really missed themComment by jtunisI'm SO GLAD that they are bringing class identities back! Thank you!Comment by YxiomelThat's kinda cool, but I guess we will have to fill some class gaps in our raid roster :SComment by SoupguyThank you! I hope they really start reconsidering the pruning with these changes and add some more abilities (even fluff one) back to the classes.
