Heh - not much ever changes for mage in general but this is new:
Arcane Barrage: Casting Arcane Barrage does not consume the effect of Arcane Blast.
Not sure if this is good or bad - I often use this for this purpose if Missile Barrage doesn't proc. I think rotations will change a lot anyway.

 

[Salogel]

not meaning to sound emo, but there's no chance in hell i'm playing cata if trees go live like this or even similar. complete fucking bullshit.

 

[Germaximus]

I dunno, im pretty impressed with the resto talents. Seems to be a new playstyle, but looks cool.

 

[Salogel]

i personally like having choices in my specs, not having every single druid in the entire world forced to pick the exact same talents

 

[Salogel]

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?druid talent trees are so exciting!

 

[Germaximus]

lol I was lookin at that yesterday.
Funny you said that about everybody being the same, someone on priest forums was saying the exact same thing. I looked, and i was like yeah thats true.
But really tho, for the most part most specs used in raiding and pvp are only very few talents difference in what people pick. Its not like theres so much diversity as it is already.

Regrowth spam on the raid yo!

 

[Salogel]

yeah lots of people were quite similar, but it'll be nothing to the exact sameness that we'll be having, i believe choice > no choice

 

[Roguedaz]

QQ more!

Having the choice of changing a couple points from everyone else's spec is really a small thing lol. Everyone is pretty much he same raiding spec anyways lol.

 

[Pillowpants]

I figure it's more about your playstyle which defines you rather than the talents you pick.

 

[Salogel]

as in how fast you can hit fireball/rejuv etc?

 

[Pillowpants]

No, wether you jump up and down while dpsing/healing/tanking or strafe from side to side.

 

[Salogel]

ahh i knew i'd chosen a class with full instants for something ^_^

 

[Pillowpants]

I'm pissed off we didn't get mind spike as an instant so i could jump and dps.
