WTB LvB rotation from lv 10!<br />Probably would have made me level my first rogue straight to 80 if this was around back in '08, and would probably make me a definite Prot fangirl if it was here for last Christmas. Oh well. <br /><br />Well thought and well played on Blizzard's behalf. <3 Zarhym.Anolaanahttp://spiritualfocus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-75184240822681624572010-07-09T14:01:14.138-07:002010-07-09T14:01:14.138-07:00Fannon -- 'most people don't dip into the ...Fannon -- 'most people don't dip into the off-trees until they have their 51 point talent'. I think this might depend on your experience in the game. Certainly as an experienced player, I have learned that it's usually a pretty bad idea to spread talents across the trees as you go. I didn't know this the first time through, however; as a result, my first attempt at talenting was a mess until I smartened up in my level 40's or so and respecced. There are still new players coming into the game who won't dig around forums, blogs and guides until much later on. This change will help them quite a bit.<br /><br />I think it's a good change overall, though it will be interesting to see it put into play.jeffohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708074863929831135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-3383161631819188172010-07-09T12:10:07.275-07:002010-07-09T12:10:07.275-07:00In my opinion, most people don't dip into the ...In my opinion, most people don't dip into the off-trees until they have their 51 point talent in their main tree. So this simply reinforces that behavior, rather than adding anything new.<br /><br />There are, of course, some exceptions to this, such as Spirit Tap for leveling Holy or Disc priests. Blizz will just have to balance the trees so that each spec has the tools that are needed without dipping into the other talent trees.<br /><br />On the whole, I really like this change. No more having to wade through a dozen different builds to find a spec that works. No more waiting until lvl 40 for your class to be fun.Fannonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-72706758945686409272010-07-09T10:53:22.625-07:002010-07-09T10:53:22.625-07:00Don't forget to mention that you'll get th...Don't forget to mention that you'll get the tree's "defining" ability with the first point!

Just because something is mandatory now doesn't mean it will be mandatory (or even accessible) in the future.<br /><br />Personally, I'm excited for the smaller trees. When Blizzard first said they were getting rid of passive-talents I felt that they would have to shrink the trees to do it.<br /><br />The forced specing took me a bit by surprise, though. However, looking at my current list of toons... only 2 of them have builds without the 51st point. One is my Warlock spec'd for soloing old heroics. I have all the health return of Affliction and all the survivability of Demonology. The other is my Blood-spec DK tank, and Blizzard has already addressed the Dancing Rune Weapon talent for tanking DKs in Cataclysm.Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936803721440329897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-8879152069048336872010-07-09T02:58:52.240-07:002010-07-09T02:58:52.240-07:00My guess?

GC already said in the forums that Soul Link and Prep were hurting Warlocks and Assassination Rogues because they had to assume that they had those talents, so couldn't give them cool stuff, essentially. Knowing that they won't have them, they can give them other tools to handle it.Onydanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113427728669637403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-32987296418040506692010-07-09T00:25:27.386-07:002010-07-09T00:25:27.386-07:00The main thing that concerns me about this change ...The main thing that concerns me about this change is how they are going to handle the mandatory talents from the secondary tree.<br /><br />Here's a list:<br /><br />- Omen of Clarity for Moonkin and Feral PVE and PVP<br />- Insect Swarm for PvP resto druids<br />- Improved Counterspell for PVP frost mages<br />- Icy veins for Arcane Mages<br />- Preparation for PVP Assasination Rogues<br />- Soul Link for PvP Warlocks<br />- Aimed Shot for non-MM hunters<br /><br />etcQuicksilverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514588622395952812noreply@blogger.com
