In the next expansion, they're going to be changed so that every 15 levels (15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90), you get a choice of 3 different abilities, and you select one of those 3 abilities to customize your character.Remind anyone of 4e's power system? At prescribed levels, you make a discrete choice from a short list of balanced but diverse options.Along the same lines is a particular specialization of the new Monk classes. Currently in WoW, healers basically heal full time (and it's a very different and nerve-wracking experience from being a damage dealer). One option for playing the Monk will be as a healer who heals by dealing damage. Leader, anyone?</blockquote>
