Question about future class design milestones and M4 abilties

[live4treasure]

So, in short, we've seen a lot of classes have their M4 abilities become baseline, albeit slightly nerfed in terms of cooldown and replaced by abilities that fix some crucial aspects of a given tree that used to make speccing that far into it a bad idea. There's a lot of whining that BG didn't need a buff and so on and so forth, but you can't really deny that giving them WoDS made going what used to be a loldps build now actually viable and worthwhile.

But really the question is, will every tree for every class have their M4 made baseline and given an enticing ability at the end of it, or will it be reserved to very specific underperforming mastery trees? Are there any ideas the dev team already has regarding specific trees and classes in the nearest future, besides BO? It'd be nice to know imo and might reduce the negativity some people may have towards recent and future changes.

Absolute declarations aren't going to be given. However, the t15 spot is available as a tool which we can use to influence different skill trees. Very few of the spec m4's are particularly worthwhile. Will every tree on every class have a brand new shiny? Probably not, or at least, not for a very long time.

I think the t15 as an ability is a really good idea.
In all honesty , no one use m4 from the tree.
This can fix underperforming tree and adding some choice when it comes to build the character.

If this is done to all mastery tree , this is the best change from the ror team.

I don t know if dev have the tool for this, but maybe look at the data to see how much people take m4 from the tree.

I take m4 from the tree.
