Retail WoW is a clown game where more often than not warriors, priests, mages, and hunters are all underperforming whereas druids and monks are OP as hell.

Because its not as flashy and it was solution for tight formations instead of lone fighter. So you gave those in Mountain Blade but not in your typical RPG outside of NPCs.
>no shashka why does everyone forget about the best long knife, both in games and in memes? IIRC some random drawfag on /tg/ started it and then a lot of different artists jumped on the small bandwagon.

Nice flail, if only it was attached to something a bit more sturdy.

Being able to do one thing well is better than doing two things sorta alright-ish. The issue is that there is no middle ground because stats and skills are relative to the class. So if you have a warrior then you'll get access to the strongest attacks and have the stat spread to make the best use of it. Same with a mage However if you run a Magic Knight then you've got to split your stats between STR/MAG and you won't have access to the top level skills for your class.
Though if hybrid classes do get access to the top skills then the game is poorly balanced against people running pure builds.

>swords are illegal meme reee it was guild politics between knifemakers and swordsmiths knifemakers were already making large utility knives for self defense and wanted in on the lucrative falchion market
