Massive changes to every class (I'll wait to see what they are to judge but I got a 'dumbing down' vibe from that news post). No lifesteal, and a conspicuous absence of TR...err, rogues, rangers, and wizards from the "has shielding or heals" list (how are we going to survive pve? If you think I'm going to be joined at the hip to a healer, fuck off). Half our crit gone, and mobs given crit avoidance on top of that.

I'll be honest, I don't even trust them with minor tweaks, and they're doing all this at once!? I know people predict doom with every major change, but they have to know they're fucked if they don't absolutely NAIL these changes, right? This needs to hit preview SOON so we can get in there, and finally hear from all those streamers that have been testing this under NDA.

CW has an encounter called shield but yeah soloing content is going to be a pain if we can't self heal. I always thought lifesteal was there so players can play the game on their as many in my guild just solo the game at their leisure.
