WeÃ¢Â€Â™ve made some additional changes to the talent calculators today. In addition to changing many of the icons, weÃ¢Â€Â™ve also made the following changes:

Druid:

Feral Combat

Feral Instinct - Reduced to 3 ranks, 5/10/15%.

Thick Hide - Reduced to 3 ranks, 4/7/10%.

Nurturing Instinct - Reduced to 2 ranks, 50/100%.

Survival of the Fittest - Reduced to 3 ranks, same 1/2/3% improvements.

Improved Wrath - Renamed "Starlight Wrath", reduces cast time of Wrath and Starfire by .1/.2/.3/.4/.5 sec.

Natural Shapeshifter - Moved to Restoration tree, where Improved Enrage was.

Restoration

warrior is a JOKE AGAIN

Morlog · Post by **Morlog** » 13 Oct 2006, 01:07

well the 100% disarm immunity is nice but still nothing that makes it worth playing my warrior past 65 (as i have to get 5 new talents to get tactical mastery now and still be the same specc)

i wonder what they tought when they made the warrior trees im growing more and more dissapointed with the burning crusade from a warrior standpoint tbh

ice lance nerfed:(

Would love to see some adjustments now to at the very least the Elemental tree of the Shaman.

It's lacking a lot: no reason for a Shaman to do the elementalist routine at all (unlike UR or the pally retribution routine).
Severe lack of staying power and lackluster "Lightning Overload" which is quite the joke at that deep a level into the tree.

I would like to see Stormstrike go to a 12 second cooldown (from 20s currently) now that paladins get a Mortal Strike without the mortality at 6 second cooldown

Hmmm Moonkin starts to get interesting again?
Been toying around with some builds:

31-30 with loads of spell damage and the new talent Lunar Guidance (which increases your spelldmg&healing by 25% based on your intelect.)
combined with Heart of the wild talent.

Now I wonder if this only effects base intelect, since it could be extremely powerfull when it would scale with that feral talent Heart of the wild, which increases intelect by 20%.

Think I read somewhere that it is total int, not base. So yes, hotw would kick ass.
