Class / Game Changes

Hello, everyone!

Today, I'd like to post about a few changes I feel need made in-game, but couldn't pick where to post... So off-topic seemed fitting. Obviously, I'm only one person, so my opinion isn't the end-all be-all. Everyone is encouraged to chime in! Now, let's begin.

I think I'll start with Holy Paladins. My main being as such, I've tinkered with his healing quite a lot, and I must say... Holy Radiance is worthless! The mana cost to healing output is atrocious. It only heals for (roughly) 30K, and then splashes 15K to six targets within 10 yards, granting one HP and the Daybreak proc. But, right there is the problem. The range of the splash! If it were 30-40 yards, like that of other AoE heals, suddenly it's absolutely a viable heal. No buff to throughput necessary. Thoughts?

Next is something incredibly obvious. The secondary (green) stats on our gear can be (and should be) reforged to more desirable ones. The thing about that is, Blizzard is obviously putting less desirable stats on our gear, in order to force this mechanic into use. No more win and wear. Well, that's all fine and dandy, but I think we should be able to reforge 100% of the stat, instead of 50%. Charge me more gold to do so, I wouldn't mind, but this change would really give us more control of our play-styles, therefore making many happy. It would also allow for more flexibility and experimentation. Am I right? *braces for impact*

Although there are plenty of things worth a look at, I'll end this post talking about Druids. Blizzard, I have one question... Why on Earth did you take tree form away?! Yeah, we can buy or make the glyph, but why not leave the boost to healing? This also makes the incarnation Tree of Life feel pointless. You're not a tree already, so why turn into one? I even have a way to fix things, if they're honestly happy with Resto Druid performance as of now.

1) Make the Tree of Life have a 10% increase (-5) to healing, no other changes. Then make the regular tree form have a 5% increase to healing. That's it. Suddenly the underwhelming Resto performance get's a minor boost, and the incarnation has a logical outcome. Now, the answer to the people who want to look normal? Make a minor glyph that allows you to be seen as your standard form, or maybe even astral, like the boomkin minor glyph?

BAM! There you have a few of the things that have been eating at me for a while. Oh! One more, one more! Druid travel form should scale with your (ground) riding skill. That one's a duh!

Okay go! Please offer your opinions. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Take care!
