GC: Replenishment "mandatory" on raids
Posted: 29 Jan 2009 11:57 am
Blizzard is balancing raids around the availability of the buff:
For Survival Hunters, that means going almost to the very end of the Survival tree, so there won't really be any being some other spec and just dipping into Survival for Hunting Party, alas.
In other words, they expect every raid to have either a Survival Hunter, Retribution Paladin or Shadow Priest along for the ride.Ghostcrawler wrote: We consider Replenishment mandatory. What I mean by that is we assume that you have Replenishment available to your raid. It is technically possible to go without it, but you will need to overgear the instance or otherwise compensate for it in other ways.
That doesn't mean we will or will not nerf Replenishment. But we don't want it to feel optional (assuming you are in reasonably challenging content) and nerfing it too much might have that effect.
