I was wondering whether people would like any talent changes in WotlK.
For example, when it comes to priests, I’d like them to move Surge of Light from the Holy Tree to the Discipline Tree. Martyrdom could then go to the Holy tree.
Martyrdom in holy tree would screw shadow pvp priests way to much. Martyrdom is just a must in pvp and since all speccs go early disc talents with remaining points it is fine where it is.
Really? I am not aware of shadow priests pvp taking the talent.
I always thought that there are other important talents in the Discipline tree for Shadow Priests in PVP to pick up like Improved Inner Fire, Improved Fortitude and Silent Resolve.
Would you like to see any changes in talents in Wrath?
Not really, and I wouldn’t expect any. Part of the charm of Classic is to play the game as close to original as it was. There might be some minor changes, like Paladin seals, where the benefit vastly outweights the cost. But I’m seriously tired from Retail of changes to “spice things up”. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
I’d like them to do progressive class balance, so we don’t end up with ICC tuning in Naxx. Not only is ICC balance tuning really, really bad in low end gear (it works out fine in ICC) leaving some specs broken strong/weak but also overall raid dps will be a lot higher making the raids even easier.
I think WOTLK talents should not be messed with, they should just be released as they were in each patch otherwise it’s going to be a complete joke. A bit like TBC really, we cleared T4 in blues and greens due to being on 2.4.3 talents among other things.
I don’t mind having 3.3.5 talents from the get-go, I don’t want to see release-DK’s ever again. 3.3.5 also gives shamans the fire nova ability instead of having it as a timed totem, which is so much better.
Original Naxx80 was cleared the very first week of launch by people in t6 gear. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Naxx80 was cleared within the first 24 hours this time around.
Original Naxx was cleared by people in a mix of Sunwell gear, WOTLK dungeon gear and crafted stuff. When we cleared T4 in TBC we had like Nagrand questing gear on and we cleared it in the first night (Gruul on the first pull), our guild wasn’t raiding at 60 so no T3 like many guilds.
And it’s not just Naxx that’s going to be too easy but Sarth 3Drakes, Ulduar etc. They don’t have to release with launch talents, there were many changes before Ulduar came out and I think Blizzard should run with the balance of the last patch of each tier, before the tuning changes that came with each new raid.
Otherwise like we said, we’re going to see horrible class balance and way too high raid dps, particularly when stacking the few broken specs that do well in early gear on those 3.3.5 talents/tuning.
