No gear swapping is going to cause even more of certain classes to be left out and never invited to high M+ keys.. For example a Hunter, If they are forced to wear their avoidance/versatility/defensive gear for the whole duration of a dungeon, their DPS is going to be in the gutter due to the massive loss of Mastery or haste as they need to stack gear with versatility due to just how squishy they are as they lack any significant base armor and have little to no dodge, block, parry, etc.If blizzard were to address the base/core defensive of classes such as Hunters and the others who are often sat out of M+, then no gear swapping would be ok if everyone was on a closer leveled playing field, but just the fact that some classes/specs have to choose between Doing decent damage but survibibility is in the dumps Or High Survivability but dps is garbage. makes this change to M+ really detrimental and really poor foresight on blizzards end as it's obvious they are just focusing on a few classes/specs that are notorious for constant gear swapping not for survivibility but for utility (i.e. locks with their slow ring) or M+ dungeon invitational classes and ignoring the majority of other classes/spec.
competitive? theres no competition besides the fake one you guys made up. who am i competing against when i run a M+ and what do they get that i dont when they win this competition you made up?if idiots didnt make it a requirement for groups to have 15+ different items sets when in reality they are not needed then it probably wouldn't have been removed.
Oh boy. All these Method-wannabees sound exactly like arena players when a major PvP change is announced. I can't tell if they're upset because it's harder now, or that they don't get to minmax down to a "Pals for Life" style. Or both. Stop complaining and work out your convoluted strats; but this time, they have to be legitamate! No more exploiting to get ahead.
Love all the crying people. It's feedback. Do it like mature adults not whining kids :)
this is a truly stupid and unnecessary change that they clearly just made for the sake of changing an already working system in the next expansion
"Tanks will have to be on point to make sure they keep mobs off their enemies."I've never referred to my dungeon party as "mobs" :P
I personally can't wait for the changes to threat. The game has become way too easy - and too forgiving - in dungeon content and it will be nice to see some of the pampered DPS players the current LFG environment has created learn some patience. All for it!
I think the gear swapping change is a step too far in the wrong direction. Players are already not allowed to swap specs or change members mid run, which solidifies roles and the play experience. There is no need to make the experience even more restrictive by disallowing the player to make -any- changes once a run has initiated. >Disallowing the swapping of gear prevents things like swapping to a "speed" set for running long distances inside a dungeon and then swapping back to a "real" set of gear when actually fighting enemies. >Swapping between AoE and Single Target set ups depending on the situation. >Swapping between Azerite items with vastly different effects mid run. E.g Callous Reprisal vs Moment of GloryI think all of the above are fun and useful to some players and the ability to swap gear should continue to be allowed. There are players that currently enjoy this freedom. Even if past data should indicate the majority of players in Legion never swapped gear sets mid run, I don't think taking the ability to do so away from all players is necessary. Here it feels like they are trying really hard to to solve a problem that no one wanted them to in the first place.
Because Blizzard....If u want to make something to be hard then Brah nerf Tanks Nerf the OP Classes,,,Tanks on trash even without dps trinkets can do with morelike 970 eq 2,5-5 millions burst depence the pack of trash,Monks-Locks-Mages-Boomys can burst for 30-50 million....Nice ?4 dps classes OP 1 tank class Blood dk and Rdruid or Hpalla....from 23 dps class...from 5 tank class and from 6 healing class only 6 of them can push high keysThats balance...fix that first then u can speak for swap gear-talents...because in Pandaria and Draenor u can change gear and spec, but in Legion u @#$%ed up...still u did take ur lesson ? damn morons

I don't really get, why need to do such things? If everything was okay with gear swapping, why need to make any change so game would be more difficult not easier. It's not about even make boss harder to pass, but it's really pointless.
Clearly a change to make the Cringeitational more accessible to spectators.
