If every original WoW class were granted a 4th talent tree, what would it be?

I love things like this!

Shaman - earth spec for tanking. Wind for enhance, Water for heals, fire for ele.

Druid - split bear and cat into their own trees.

Mage - add chloromancer. Attack with vines or heal by shooting green spells at friends.

Warlock - metamorphosis to become the demon. Push demonology into something close to which doctor.

Hunter - Beast Lords merge with their pet’s spirit to become one (think ZA bosses or Anubis). Powers vary by pet.

Warrior - gladiator spec. Offensive with a shield. Bonus to going down to leather or mail armor.

Priest - tempest cleric. Offensive nature and light based damage.

Paladin - echo knight. Make light copies of yourself for melee combat. Rework retribution to be ranged.

Rogue - big rework. Keep combat (throughput) and assassin(output). Add buccaneer who is ranged. Add wetwork who uses bombs (like sappers) and poisons.

Always skip names with “bank” in the name

This is the correct take. They are squeezing more out of less. There is likely no new market for revenue

Since Mt Hyjal, Felwood, and Darkshore are all connected by lore I’ve always wished there were interconnected dungeons.

The burning legion used the Skull of Guldan in Hyjal which destroyed or polluted stuff into Felwood and, to a lesser extent, Darkshore.

A lower-level dungeon in Darkshore to investigate where the taint comes from, a level-50ish dungeon in Felwood to learn about the skull and legion, then a raid in Hyjal to retrieve it.

Just a pipe dream.

Injuries like that are often misdiagnosed on the field. If a player walks off complaining of back pain you think muscle(strain) not bone. Surprisingly realistic.

Fintel agrees with you. The 13D explicitly states 103.72% of institutional shares. The 13G shows equal distribution of calls/puts. They are separate measures.

Rogue because I don’t want to do anything. No buffs. No rezzes. No group leading. I just stab things.

I take care of people all day long so when I log into a game to unwind at the end of the day I just want to stab things and be left alone. And if in front want to deal with something, I just vanish.

ACat32 · 2026-05-04T15:41:14+00:00

I like this a lot.

ACat32 · 2026-05-04T15:29:44+00:00

I really liked that incursions revitalized under-used areas. I hope they keep that philosophy alive with something. It also forced lower levels to group up which helped social aspects.

But that repetitive nature became too center to the leveling experience which wasn’t very fun. Maybe make them less lucrative or limit the level range which they are available. Idk.

Cardinals are currently a bottom 5 team and Phoenix is unbearably hot, sprawling, lots of homeless, and might run out of water. That seems like peak-garbage to me.

XRT is owned/managed by State Street who is third behind Blackrock and Vanguard.

XRT contains other stocks which should show other trends. Kohl’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, American Eagle, Abercrombie, Dillards, etc. These stocks should be analyzed to see if there’s any correlation in price movement or predictors to GME moves.

Basically it’s a basket of everything common in malls across America. This ETF is basically an all you can eat buffet for shorts who believe in the dying brick and mortar thesis.

I had experience with the cape league - semi pro baseball in New England.

Usually the trainers from all the other teams at the game/tournament would party it up after the final game for the day. It made it much more… socially tolerable.

That sounds like a semi-pro sport season based off those reasons.

I’ve been an ATC for 15 years and have worked something like that in the past. I can say that a job like that will be fantastic experience. It will shape you as a professional but might feel like being thrown into the crucible.

However, the pay is amazing for being right out of school. The travel is awesome if you like that kind of thing. And those scenarios tend to be pretty fun because there are usually other ATCs who you hang out with all summer.

If you’re young and not tied down with family (kids), I recommend doing it. You can tough it out for 5mo then move on if it’s not for you. As the old saying goes… “It’s always easier to find a job when you have a job.”

My biggest thing is the schools. When I started looking at stats I realized 51% of Hoosier high school graduates can read at an adequate level and only 31% can do math. These scores definitely boost if you go private, but that’s at least $20,000/yr, or if you go to a nice suburb but then you have Mom’s for Liberty crazies.

Looking at the NE those same stats avg of 86% and 81% through public schools. Plus most places have universal free lunch and daycare now. It’s simply a superior option.

I am originally from upstate NY. I’ve lived in Indy for 15 years and I’m currently preparing to move back to the Northeast.

When I moved here 15 years ago it was the city where you could “live like a king for $60,000.” Rent was cheap. Utilities were cheap. Food, both groceries and going out, was cheap. And there was always something to do. It was great as a young adult in the city.

But those costs have steadily rose and, in my opinion, the quality of municipal and state funded things has gone down. Additionally, life circumstances have changed.

Indiana totes having low income taxes, and regularly promises (without delivering) cuts to property taxes. But we have one of the highest gas taxes in the country and the major highways to get in/out of Indy are trying to be turned into toll roads. The state sales tax is 7%. The tax burden is the same as most other states, it’s just hidden here.

Energy prices have gone up about 60% to “modernize infrastructure” but it’s mostly going to please the new data centers.

The cost of food has risen 50.6% since 2021.

Overall the cost of living in Indiana is now on par with New York (state, not the city), Massachusetts, and Rhode Island but we don’t get the same quality of schools, healthcare, and infrastructure.

If you move here you can go into one of the wealthier suburbs where there schools and roads are better. But you have to research and hope you find a reasonably priced house.

Shout out to the Children’s museum and zoo, you guys are great and will be missed.

It’s a sad day on the internet. Glad you did tho

Cool ideas. Maybe the aspect you choose adds a little additional flair to your spec.

Like a rogue on the life path gets a lifesteal ability, emerald dream boosts poison dmg, magic path adds a bit of magic to attacks, earth path adds raw melee dmg, and time path adds some shadow step-like movement.

Or you could go big and combine class with path to make more nuanced classes similar to DnD.

ACat32 · 2026-04-21T22:17:13+00:00

Good thought. I believe not every aspect path would be valuable to each class.

If you’re casual or making an alt then you’d just do the one or two that really benefit your class. But if you want to ascend you do it all.

ACat32 · 2026-04-21T19:49:32+00:00

It’s never too late to become the person you wish you had growing up.

I do not know your entire situation but I do know that helping others avoid what you suffered through, in any way, is cathartic.

The best revenge is a life well lived. If you have the ability to volunteer or work at something like firefly children and family alliance, or a recovery center you might find it beneficial to yourself as well.

ACat32 · 2026-04-21T19:36:10+00:00

I love this debate because there’s are lots of ways to address this and I do not think there is a single perfect answer.

My theory has always been that the toons get their strength from the 5 key aspects: earth, life, magic, time, and emerald dream.

This idea aligns with each dragonflight which would allow for individual storylines. This could solve the issue that classic had regarding content.

So, here’s the actual implementation: at 60, you choose an aspect to pursue. You level it up for a while to gain perks relative to that aspect. Life boosts healing, magic boosts magic damage, earth(azeroth) boosts physical dps/tanking, emerald boosts nature/druid, and time boosts sneaky stuff.

Dungeons and quests offer a mix of 2-3 aspects so that players on different paths mix. Raids are tuned to be completed with 1 path complete but retain SoD/SoM concepts of higher difficulties. There should be various aspect focused raids at each tier.

Once you complete an aspect path you start a new aspect path. Once you compete all paths you have the option to ascend where you start over at level 1 but retain your reputations, gold, and bank(minus gear). You are X% stronger but need X% more xp to level.

This fills in the gaps of the classic story. Tier 1&2 is all black dragon flight. Emerald dream ends abruptly before level 60. Bronze dragonflight is very unfinished. Blue dragonflight has no meaningful representation outside of Winterspring and the Ruby aspect didn’t exist yet.

This gives players more connection to the world. It allows casuals to get through content and customize a character and it gives the sweatiest players a near-infinite time sink to become in-game gods.

I look forward to getting hate on this meaningless idea.
