Not every spec needs to be viable.

Low risk high reward specs like Scourge should be made unplayable in PvP to keep the game healthy and fun for the players.

that would mean less ppl playing. all types of specs should be playable, just gotta make sure that the low risk high reward builds can be outplayed.

Scourge is a face roll spec but I wouldn’t call it low risk. I think you meant to say mirage, spell breaker etc.

Every spec should be viable because it simply isn't that hard to balance things semi-decently. I'm not talking balancing every spec within 5% of each other, but specs shouldn't be so far off that your team flames you for trying off-meta stuff (which absolutely happens).

That being said, Scourge needs to be nerfed because it makes virtually all melee specs a PITA to play. Movable AOE fields, what a horrendous idea.

Make a build that hard counters the class you don't enjoy playing against, problem solved.

Step One is making sure every class has a viable build and a place in the meta.

But not every spec should be viable. More viable builds are better and should be a goal, but the balance team trying to figure out a way to make nonsense garbage specs like a sword+sword shout heal support core warrior a top tier build is wrongheaded. And if the community was in charge of balance they'd break the game trying to make every garbage nonsense build top tier because they by and large can't handle the fact that some builds are more intelligently designed than others.
