The Warlocks Den Forums - View Single Post - homogenization of gear.. Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?

I have already ranted in other threads about the direction that Blizzard is going in numerous areas (RAF, level 55 DK starting), so the gear is no different. I am wondering where the innovation is coming from at this point, when it appears that everything the devs are doing is really just dumbing down the game even more. Mages, Priests, and Warlocks all looking the same now? Yippee. How exciting that not only will I look like other warlocks, but now I can look like the mages and priests as well. I also don't like the increased importance of spirit. This will come at a cost, but what will that cost be? Less stamina? Then you have the destro tree going even more fire heavy. We are being turned into fire mages and shadow priests and I am not sure how many of us even realize it. Well, I do and I am not happy about it. Every run through an instance will be a competition for who gets the + spirit/+ sp gear.

It is really too bad the direction that Blizz is taking WoW. They are making some serious mistakes with some of these changes imo.
