Perhaps an interesting design direction to explore a bit further down the road: What if they can give each class a few options of specialisation in an elaborated hero talent framework whereby depending on your option your character will scale better with different secondary stats. Like Rider of the Apocalypse has more boundary characteristics attached to it that make it scale better with haste. Deathbringer Crit, San' layn Vers. That way you can kind of tweak spec depending on what gear you have available but also on some fights you are stuck on. Or simply opt for the stat you like the most, instead of being stuck on predetermined bis stats to mindlessly be dependent on that makes it an element close to not existing in terms of self determination in its current state. It would also make more group comps viable. If you have for example a fight that you are stuck on because your healer is a bit under geared or simply needs ramp up time and one of your other group members you like to play with otherwise is simply a bit squishy as a class, everyone else could switch their hero spec to versatility so that incoming damage is less across the board so you compensate for the healers time requirement. If you want a quicker run instead you all make strategic choices as a collective that makes sense accordingly. Gives a way to tackle challenges in different ways within a group, rather than that decision making only being possible during the group selection process. It has plenty of other advantages too, and probably some issues as well.
