I'v got high hopes for Druids and their "improved" Tree of Life -form. I heard month ago that it will be chanced more or less likely a warlocks Demon form. Reading thies changes on Resto Druids just makes me wanna reroll to another healing class.
I can't say nothing much to other classes since don't have yet those classes at 80ies. But aswell working on that.
... I may have tried to mouse over the talents for tool tips.
I'm pretty irratated with the change to Tree of Life and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep healing. Part of what I like about my druid is the forms and having the tree last 45 seconds with a five minute (or 3.5 minute for improved) cooldown is...... Just wrong.
Not to mention, the reduced movement speed. Seriously, in a movement heavy fight if barkskin's on cooldown you're going to die. I remember when they changed the movement speed to increase it a little over a year ago and really don't see the point of moving backward in that regard.
Yes - some of the new spells seem kinda cool. But I don't think it'll make up for what I see as a major nerf.
Feral aggression seems a bit.... off? I thought demo was a straight % melee damage reduction now?
naturalist is stupid but workable with the 5 extra points, and as a tank that 10% spell damage reduction is awesome (if it works in bear form)
being able to get 5/5 furor as a tank is nice
wonder what they are doing to feral instinctcats lost the AOE reduction but bears gained the 10% crit multiplierFeral Instinct [TBR]
sword spec is cool
why does pred strikes not include weapon AP?
endless carnage is much needed
berserk is a completely wasted point for bears, I would really like to see a fury style dual 51 point talent thing happen to the feral tree, and in this same vein imp mangle is now a completely wasted 3 points.
Not entirely sure whats up with the Tree of Life only being a 45 second skill rather then a Permanent form. Seems strange considering that is what has basically made Resto Druids for a long while.. And easily recognisable.
re: tree form
1) this was announced a while ago
2) this is almost a complete 50/50 split of people who do like this change to people who want a permanent form
3) druids need more burst healing, but I would rather have them gotten a GS/PS type ability because they are the only ones without it with the new spell shaman are getting.
Good. I thought it was only me.Originally Posted by Eoika
All in all, the only one that really caught my attention was the Priest one. It seems we might start seeing some DPS discipline priests, or at least priests that can seamlessly swap between decent DPS and good healing in a single fight. The Shaman trees only had small changes, and none of them really seemed like game-changers. The Feral tree seems to have more distinction between tank and dps than the current tree, but that is probably just so Druids can't be at 100% while both in kitty and bear with a single spec.
Did read the Rogue one, as I uhh... don't care about rogues (sorry my stealthy friends).
- Helgi
Not saying its a bad thing or a good thing, Personally i dont even play a druid, However i wasnt aware of the change being announced and it caught me by surprise.
However i would agree with you that Druids need more burst.
On that note, Shadowform 5% spell haste incorporated. Very nice
I noticed this as well, with the removal of stats from SOTF, the crit immunity talent is no longer picked up by pure cats.
Should be didn't* not did (edit button wasn't there?)
The only question I have left is how the new Hunter focus fits into their talent trees and into loot. I have a feeling enhance shaman loots are going to turn into another holy pally-type loot.
By the way, GO BLACKHAWKS
- Helgi
Noticed that aswell, Although i dont think we will start seeing pure DPS Disc priests i do agree that this does create the option for Disc to switch from light DPS to healing roles on the fly as fights require or as situations change. We will have to see how this pans outAll in all, the only one that really caught my attention was the Priest one. It seems we might start seeing some DPS discipline priests, or at least priests that can seamlessly swap between decent DPS and good healing in a single fight.
Darkness
Malice
Precision
Weapon Expertise
Deadliness
Purification
These are all boring, across the board increases to damage (or healing) without any interesting conditions or effects. In other words, exactly the kinds of talents Blizz said they'd be removing. So why are they still here?
I assume NNF means Name Not Final, but please, please, please leave Nom Nom Nom as is. =D
I just jumped over to mmo champion to try out the new talent trees. I only did a Shaman and Priest, as they are the only classes I've played at level 80 out of the four.
I got the feeling that I had too many points, so I ended up picking up a bunch of stuff I don't really need.
http://www.wowtal.com/#k=faVEHOPMqhg601.9dw.shaman
Having said that, I did see a bunch of interesting options for PVP shamans.
A hybrid DPS/heal Disc priest seems like a real possibility after messing with the talents. But I guess only time will tell. It would be AWESOME if you could reach surge of light, but that doesn't seem to be possible at the moment.
http://www.wowtal.com/#k=9X8YSGifeeiiX7.9dw.priest
And again, I saw a bunch of new options for PVP priests. Looks like they might be able to go on the offensive now.
- Helgi
please use the wowhead talent calculator over the MMO champ one, they still have a lot of the talents wrong
http://cata.wowhead.com/talent
I didn't see any differences between the two... but in the spirit of ZAM world I'll comply.
Shaman: http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#hZVIfZEbeuIcoVzRfuio
Priest: http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#bVI0u...cEzhc00000000M
And is it just me or did the edit button disappear?
- Helgi
So far I'm really digging the Priest changes. As a Disc healer I think this really opens up more options for spells. Power Word: Barrier sounds really neat, like a DKs Magic Barrier, maybe? And this also opens up the possibility of getting the Spirit of Shame and also making Greater Heal extremely viable. Yay!

(3 points left. Looking at Spirit of Redemption and Deliverance.)
http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#bVcbzZZMefmRfzffqfzAo
Probably what im looking at so far, Just took a quick look over it and didnt really put much depth, Still have some points left over and not sure which way i wanna go as of yet,.
However i can say Blizzard did follow through on the promise that in order to gain mastery while and still maintain key talents and such you wont be able to go full fledged into another secondary tree, I have seen alot of Shadow Priests for some reason want to go as far into disc as PW:Barrier
Ill have to take a closer and less rushed look at these when i get home, Very excited to see the rough talent trees though.
+ 5% Spell Haste on Shadowform
- Removal of 30% Threat reduction on Shadowform
Forgot to mention:
Reason for 4 Points in Imp MB is so MB Cooldown => 6 sec Which gives us time for two clean Mind Flay casts. Shadowfiend timing and Disperion will also probably have to be managed a little better in my opinion.
If Blizzard follows through and makes Healers really need to take more pride in mana usage i think VE will really begin to shine as passive healing utility.
http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#hVbAq0zZxIckVzeoucRuct
Seems like a pretty beastly Enhancement PvE dps spec.
