What does everyone think is up and coming in the new expansion for AP and possibly in the future for specialty spells for your class?

I'm hoping for a few more spells that primarily dots with debuffs attached to them, rather than the other way around. Doubling 2nd place on the heal parse and doubling any other healers' dps is getting boring, I wanna triple it!

As far as AA, unless they come out with a better healing line (15% heal crit chance sucks, but necessary) I'm just looking for more points so I can go with my current setup but get the uber l33tsauce shaman melee dps abilities.

Shamans are pretty well balanced as is, I hope they don't fuck us. SoE fucks up one class every expansion, so I'm hoping it's not defilers

I really hope they are well thought out... and they really do things which will compliment what each class needs. If the AA tree looks the same, I'd hope for at least one path for DPS, Tanking(soloing for non fighters), utility, spellcasting/healing, and another one that could vary.

I would hope that abilities are well thought out. I hope I don't see more improved crit chance on every class's AAs. I hope they make rangers a capable class for DPS once again. I hope they give swashbucklers something to make them as valuable to raids as Brigands are. I hope they give brawlers something to make them shine again.... I hope they give inquisitors something that could make them a possible MT cleric choice OVER a templar. I hope they give a warden some more DPS capability. I hope they give Warlocks better single target dps or a hate xfer more than 3%. I hope they give crusader more MT capabilities.

I really hope they put alot of thought into the expansion. I'm glad they are taking theyre time with it. I can't wait until the NDA is liften and I get to hear some specifics on it.

Even as a coercer, i'm a strong proponent of just merging coercers and illusies. We just aren't different enough to have two different classes. But that's another discussion (and one I'm sure will never, ever happen).

I LOVE BEING A COERCER! What I'd like to see in my AA's is a passive effect of 5% proc on hostile spells. I'd also like to see my debuffs either on a longer duration, or shorter cast time, as I burn up alot of quality "dps" time to debuff. Or attach them to more dots, such as my "Breakdown" line.

I wouldn't mind my non-pet dps to get a little loving. I know I need some better gear (more procs) which I'm working on, but our spell crit AA is pathetic compared to pallies (I love the spell crits there). I'd also like to see one "big" nuke that is single target, not an PBAE. I rarely get to use my "big" nuke because I have to run into AE range to cast it, and generally get eaten shortly after. Plus in groups I run the risk of adds, because its got a huge radius.

And lastly, I'd love to see an AA for pets. Some buffs (nothing extraordinary) that would make them viable tanks, or make those melee pets not-so-sucky. Temporary buffs, something that needs to be recast on a fairly consistant basis. Not anything that adds to casting, cuz everyone knows that is working fine, but a melee buff, or a temporary "Avoid AE" buff or something.

Crabbok, I don't want this to turn thread into a flame, but what you said is basically take each classes faults and make all classes good at everything, it just doesn't work like that. I hope they make some good spells though. This last expansion lacked on spells because they worked so much on AP. I can't think of one incredible spell that a class got at 65.

That's not even impreessive.....give a Wizard a bigger nuke...semi-aoe if the mobs are in a straight line. It's ok but not impressive.

Warlocks need radical new hate management and everyone else can shove it.
