I was expecting same tbh, but should of known better...
They ruined mara specs with 3.0, annihilation for example received biggest change in play style which most of community does not like, including myself, i do not remember any1 asking BW to turn that spec into long duration dot spec, to make rotation so boring and long, but they did it anyway.
Now i will still try to finish this HM tier on my mara, i had my hopes and i really didn't want to change class, but after seeing this i am certain now it will happen and i need to prepare some other class for NiM Ravagers/Tos.
All the talk from BW about disciplines making balancing/changes easier from my perspective are not true, i do not see it, not for mara or for any other class tbh, changes are slow as they were if not even slower....
I mean what were they even talking about, almost 3 months into xpac and we receive 2 changes(both of them questionable), ty for nothing i guess...
Worst part in all of this is their silence, their complete lack of communication towards community which has concerns about state of their class that are justified, there were some really good proposed changes from community that didn't mean making mara OP, and BW failed at listening AGAIN and failed communicating AGAIN with players that play this class to make it better/more fun to play.
