Why not give WE/WH the 9 target Slice/Razor tactic back? I mean, it almost allowed them to perform in warbands (and made them decent for PvE dungeons - now they just hinder their party due to lack of any AoE spammer due to dungeons requiring 90% of time being spent on grinding mobs). A random morale drain/party gain where you hit one AoE ability every 10 second doesn't exactly count as "aoe pressure" which is something dps classes have to do if they want to be decent for warband gameplay. Mara still outperforms as morale drainer, and also has AoE pressure and decent dmg + other utility.
Instead you buff Sorc/Engi, already decent Warband dps class picks, with new AoE M2s.
Good WB classes, Sorc/Engi are made even better. Awful WB classes, WE/WH/SW/WL/SH - well they remain in their "weird and kinda useless" category.
From premade/organized warband perspective these changes don't really make much sense - so the alternative has to be considered, are these implemented with pug vs pug warbands in mind - something that goes against the rules of Balance Discussion forums when it comes to making new proposals?
