Rise Tanks and Tanks of Azeroth! Blizzard wants to hear what you have to say about cooldowns! Your future is in your hands, what you decide now will mark you during Cataclysm!
Well, after the little joke, Blizzard needs some feedback on how you would make tank reload / cooldowns (aka Cooldowns) more fun and useful in Cataclysm.
We are currently working on cooldowns for tanks in Cataclysm. We are interested in community feedback on what makes cooldowns fun and useful. For example, what is the appropriate point in the cooldown duration between an ability with one so short that you have to press it constantly versus one that is too long? What current skills are fun? Nostalgia aside, were there cooldowns in Burning Crusade or classic WoW that you miss in Wrath of the Lich King? In your opinion, what should be the role of talents and glyphs. For example, if glyphs didn't reduce cooldowns, what could they do?
For the purpose of this particular discussion we are not interested in class balance. Please try to avoid "who is too strong?" in this thread. We want to focus on fun with an eye to the future.
We plan to use these comments to help make cross-wise decisions when designing Cataclysm talents and abilities, but this does not guarantee that we will implement all or any particular suggestions in this thread. This is simply one of the many tools we plan to use to make the best possible decisions as we continue development.
Do not forget to stop by european forum (o the american) and leave your opinion there. They don't count here!
