A third spec for them to have no idea of what they are doing with :D
I hope so so bad it's an earth/ black dragon based spec and that it's a tank. That would be amazing.
bard spec lets go
While I like the idea of a dedicated support spec I feel like it'll be impossible to balance within the current trifecta of tank, healer and damage dealer.Either it's so good it'll always be required in every group or it's not worth bringing over just another damage dealer.
This doesn’t come across as a tank spec. Seems more Bars esque. Something like an Enhancement Shaman maybe. Kind of a let down if it’s not. :/
A third spec that is focused on augmentation and support could be a massive risk.When Everquest was the top MMO, one of it's glaring design flaws was that support and crowd control abilities were overwhelmingly concentrated in the Enchanter class, making that class nigh on mandatory for any kind of content. WoW didn't make the same mistake, they divided crowd control and support abilities among as many classes as possible rather than making it the 'thing' of a single class.Augmentation could be a tank spec. It fits in with the established role system rather than upending it, and could involve buffing allies as part of the tanking style. Adamantium, and the word adamant in general, refers to an almost unbreakable metal, material or characteristic, which is exactly what a tank would do.I don't discount the possibility of the third spec being a support spec, but I am still inclined to believe it is going to be a tanking spec.
I think it's highly unlikely they will add a 3rd spec, they have never done it before and I don't see them starting now.
As a reminder, the existence of another 'specialization' for the NPC Dracthyr might not mean the implementation of such for playable Evokers. Just as playable priests are not yet able to wear plate armor and wield swords like King Anduin was able to do (though there have been jests about Anduin simply being on the road to paladinhood like most lore priests)
As much as I would love there to be a support spec in the game, I believe it's not gonna happen soon. Blizzard is blinded if it comes to RP by "balancing" the game. If there was going to be a support spec how would they ever balance that out. My highest hope is that they actually do it and give some other classes a new spec that's supposed to also be a support class. Maybe we'll finaly get a bard? Who knows but I think chances are very slim that we'll get something like that.
Why another specialization for the healer? Better balance what you have. And give a tank or, in extreme cases, another DD, but with a different style of play.
Ramping up for April fool's early this year?
