Subject: Relics -- A Disappointment |
| |
Blizzard, we druids, shamans, and paladins had a simple request:
"We would like to place an item to boost our statistics in our ranged slot, to give us some equity with the other classes."
Here is an example of a wand, which is blue, that would not be an unreasonable request to give us something similar as a relic.

And here is a bow, also not unreasonable to ask for something equal.

So, why did you give us something so sub-par instead? What was so hard about fulfilling that simple request for statistical boosts?
Why did you instead give us something like:
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=22402
Please, just add some stat giving greens even. Such as http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3478
I mean, come on, why did you make such a big deal about it, and then not even add anything similar to what we asked for?

The relic slots offer character improvement for the Shaman, Druid and Paladin as a means to compensate for the fact that none of these classes can equip a ranged weapon. Given the fact that relic items are exclusive to these three classes, we were able to design them to offer class specific improvements, rather than just a couple of points of either agility, strength, or intelligence. We thought this was really cool, and felt that doing so not only removed the need for two classes to compete with one and other on a roll, or loot distribution system should one drop, but it also allowed us to put some unique benefits on an item, that previously weren't available.
We only had time to implement a few for patch 1.10, but more are in the works. If you feel strongly that you have nothing to gain from the existing relics, I'd suggesting waiting for the introduction of new relics. I can assure you however, that each relic currently in the game, despite some of the number crunching I've seen, does indeed offer your character something of value.

Q u o t e:
So you got 3 made and that warrants the big news in the patch notes? man, cmon. Thats really pathetic. They dont even need a graphic on the avatar.
Put some relics out there, please
Nine relics were implemented in the last patch, not three. In addition, the character screen was redesigned to support the relic item for three classes. I don't believe its mention in the patch notes was unwarranted.
Again, we'll be adding more in the future.
