MASSIVE changes incoming to ALL talent trees!

Because right now it's a choice. Even if that's what everone and their brother does, it's still a choice. Not forced.

I think this is the easy way out for Blizzard. Overall it will probably be a good thing for the game and increase the number of subscribers, so I don't blame them for doing it, but I'm guessing it's going to take out the part I enjoy most about this game (and what I thought many other multiboxers do too) - being different than the norm.

For some classes it's an illusion of choice. Simply because EVERYONE does it, I don't remember the last time a resto druid didn't take wild growth...

So to get your abilities that you want now you are locked in, you just have the choice to skip them and not have them...Which isn't that much of a choice since most of them you want.

Class spec really doesn't mean much for being different in the long run when everyone else ALREADY has mostly the same talents and talent specs you do. Especially if you are a theorycrafter...

There are restokins out there. They're rare, but they do exist.

This is the part that i like the most

Quote" The initial talent tree selection unlocks active abilities that are core to the chosen role. Our goal is to choose abilities that let the specializations come into their own much earlier than was possible when a specialization-defining talent had to be buried deep enough that other talent trees could’t access them. For example, having Lava Lash and Dual-Wield right away lets an Enhancement shaman feel like an Enhancement shaman. Other role-defining examples of abilities players can now get for free at level 10 include Mortal Strike, Bloodthirst, Shield Slam, Mutilate, Shadow Step, Thunderstorm, Earth Shield, Water Elemental, and Penance. "

Having TS at level 10!?!?!? that will make low level BGs crazy fun for shamies! I like the idea that all specs will have class defining abilities early like this, your low level tank WILL be a TANK! I hated having to wait until 40+ to start feeling like the role i was trying to play!
