@DoctorEldritch Maybe the crustaceans were found to fit the Nerub'ar style. Armoured spiders and all that. The preview looks good, but luckily I don't need it myself. I even managed to survive in pretty close proximity to some spiders IRL, although I didn't fancy it.

My friends are going to play the new expansion, so by the peer pressure I will give it a try. I am cautious with my enthusiasm though. WoW has already promised many times to improve and the results were mixed. To add an insult to injury, my class was butchered during Dragonflight and ended up really unfun to play.

@Saka Some people I read are making jokes about what people who are afraid of both arachnids and crustaceans should do? I found it a bit whimsical at first, but then I thought, they are rather similar in appearance indeed, so maybe there is a truth to that comment.

True, but WoW should really be trying to gain the trust back at this point. So maybe they'll deliver more this time around. What did they do to your class though?

@DoctorEldritch The problem was mostly with the tuning. They messed up so badly, that to get "okay" numbers (which were still below what other healers were getting!) you needed to ignore most of the class mechanics. Just spam one spell like it was The Burning Crusade again. That was just bad. With proper tuning it's supposed to be a hybrid melee/ranged healer using both hard cast and instants.
