MASSIVE changes incoming to ALL talent trees!

[Tonuss]

LIKE: Simplified, focused talent trees.

DISLIKE: Being forced to spend 31 points in one tree

I understand why they're doing it and I think it'll work. I just feel that instead of moving away from cookie cutter specs, Blizzard has effectively locked us into them. They could just as easily have you select a talent tree and get the abilities from a trainer and do away with the spending of talents. Maybe I'm wrong, and I do think that with the more focused trees we might get a much better experience. I'll miss the chance to spec like a crazy man while leveling up, though. -p

This thread got too long too fast for me to have time to read through all of it, but it seemed there was a misunderstanding going around about not being about to put points in more than two trees, while one of blizzards own examples listed a 5/5/31 spec.

Sorry if this was already covered.

Its not that you cant put points in 2 trees, its that you can't put points into a 2nd tree until you have put 31 points in your main tree FIRST.

I didn't know about being able to put it into three trees (assuming 31 points). I guess I misread. I thought you unlocked another tree once the first had 31 points, and couldn't unlock a third tree until that one also had 31 points (which is obviously impossible at level 85).

To be clear, some of us are unhappy that you have to put 31 points into a tree before moving to another tree. Some of us would like to not be forced to have 31 points in any particular tree, and instead go for mid-tier talents in both trees (such as a 20/21/0 build).

You're still in the 51 point talent mindset. None of us have any idea if being locked into a tree for so long is going to be a bad thing. We can only assume with smaller trees that there will be more powerful and useful talents to pick from. Blizzard doesn't want you to have all the goods from each tree. If you're Elemental, you're now Elemental. If you're Arms, you're now Arms.

But Fenril, isn't it sad that specs like "Restokin" are going to be a thing of the past?
No, not really...

Fenril, are you going to quit over these beta talent tree changes?
No, you and I will all still be playing when Cataclysm hits and blowing shit up like usual.


In fact, everyone should bookmark this thread so we can all look back when Cataclysm hits and say "Boy, was I retarded and worried about nothing."

I love how 9 pages later, everyone is clear about their opinions.

After all, opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got one.

Personally I'm going to cancel all my accounts this month - not because they've changed the matrix, or because some change to a spell/talent means retuning the rotation. After all, we are boxers and therefore are immune to the "they've nerfed my class" type thing.

I'm cancelling my accounts because I've got no more time left in the day to play... yeah it's a sad day...

I love that you're able to assume things, but I'm not, Fenril

Where did I say that? You can assume all you want...

You're ranting and raving and hating on something you have never even seen. I've got an open mind about what is going to happen. There is a difference. You can fill this thread with tears or you can just hang out, and see what Cataclysm brings.

One of a kind.
