Drei Wochen haben sich die WoW-Entwickler Zeit gelassen. Zum kommenden ID-Wechsel soll das Balancing dann aber endlich "gut" sein.
In einem großen MMOPRG wie WoW für gutes Balancing zu sorgen, ist eine Mammutaufgabe, die nicht nur extrem schwer ist, sondern an deren Ende man auch nie ankommt. Es gibt schlicht kein perfektes Balancing, das man irgendwann erreichen könnte. Die Entwickler können lediglich dafür sorgen, dass alle Klassen und Spielweisen so nah beisammen liegen, dass keiner negativ auffällt.
Das auch das Ziel der kommenden Anpassungen, die bereits zum ID-Wechsel am Mittwoch auf die Live-Server kommen. Darin nehmen sich die WoW-Entwickler nicht nur einigen der schwächeren Klassen an, sondern wollen die Spieler auch endlich vor eine echte Wahl bezüglich der Heldentalentbäme stellen.
Denn in vielen Fällen ist ein Baum dem anderen so weit überlegen, dass es keine echte Wahl gibt. Wer auf den "schwächeren" Baum zurückgreift, der verschenkt DpS weit im zweistelligen Bereich.
Es gibt aber auch kleinere Nerfs bei einigen Klassen. Heilig-Paladine verlieren ein paar Prozent Heilung und auch die Wiederherstellung-Schamanen müssen mit kleinen Einbußen leben.
Größere Nerfs, beispielsweise für Todesritter, gibt es allerdings nur im PvP. Dort stutzen die WoW-Entwickler einige Klassen ordentlich zurecht und senken den Schaden oder die Effektivität der Fähigkeiten teils drastisch.

In unseren Augen sind diese Anpassungen schon lange überfällig. Viele davon haben sich bereits zum Start der Season herauskristallisiert und es war eigentlich unnötig, so lange mit den Anpassungen zu warten. Stimmt ihr uns dabei zu oder ist es euch lieber, wenn die Entwickler sich etwas mehr Zeit nehmen und es dann einmal eine umfangreiche Anpassung gibt, bei der alle Klassen "repariert" werden?
