saying something CANNOT go live when you havne’t expereinced it yet is not really what testing is about.
Sometimes, Blizzard makes bad decisions. Doesn’t happen often, but it does happen.
I very rarely get mad about something. However, after potion-chugging for the entire time I’ve played this game, being told I can’t potion chug means that I’m upset, because we weren’t actually given anything in their place, and raiding is so dependent on them.
You can’t rely on having someone in a 10-man raid (or even a 25-man) that can judge wisdom as a “fix” for not having reliable pots. That pigeon-holes what raid makeup you can have, if you have to rely on a particular set of other class’ buffs to be able to have enough mana to get through the fight. Don’t have a shadow priest, paladin judgment, shaman totems? Oh well, no raid for you.
For 5-man instances, pots have never been a problem. Long-term, this change could cause lots of issues, and we can’t even test the changes in raid instances until after it’s too late to get it changed back.
