Am I reading this wrong? Does that mean they don't get the 46 talent points they would get if they started at level 1?
"Death Knights will now start with 0 talent points at level 55."



This is nice!
"If a hunter tames a pet that is more than five levels beneath their own level, the pet will then have their level increased to five levels beneath the hunter’s own level."

"All demon abilities and spells will automatically be learned as pets gain levels. Demon"
"Master trainers will be removed. "
"Blood Pact now works raid-wide (not just in party). "

Same with pally auras as with blood pact.

"All demon abilities and spells will automatically be learned as pets gain levels. Demon"


My Warlock called and would like her gold back.

Oh, forgot to add my favorite upcoming change:
Entangling Roots: Can now be used indoors.

Hey Lyr? We play CC classes now!

AND AOE CLASSES since the cooldown on hurricane is being removed. Of course, they don't say anything about making it less mana intensive...

I really like some of the changes I've seen for druids. And while I love the idea of having threat reduction as part of the balance tree (in a talent I already have!) I don't know whether the changes to it and the resto tree will make it impossible to have dreamstate and intensity at the same time and still have it be a viable build.

Yeah, I just got to the part about the AoE. Still reading it, but wow, they really look like they're trying to make Balance druids more viable and more better good to have around.

More goodness:
New Spell: Revive - Returns the spirit to the body, restoring a dead target to life with health and mana. Cannot be cast when in combat. (Ranks 1-7 added)

In combat rez -and- out of combat rez. ALL YOUR REZZES ARE BELONG TO US!

Ahem. I'm done now. There's really some awesome stuff coming for Balance dr00ds.

So...seriously?

What's the point of playing anything other than a druid?

I mean, if they're going to remove everything that makes classes distinct and give them all to druids, y'know, fuck, maybe I'll go make one.

I smell a 25-druid raid. Who's with me?

That was the gist of the conversation I was having with Jorack this morning.

lol

From all the notes I've read so far, its looking more and more like....

"Not a question of can you do it, but HOW you do it.."

I mean shamans get their own sheep, but way cooler<--yes, I went their mages.

All tanks get AOE threat.

Rogues get AOE.

Retadins have their own CC which totally owns sheeping too.

weeeeeee

Also, the changes to threat have me thinking that Blizzard is moving away from threat being a major factor in managing the fight, and probably to more gimmick fights. Less threat management and more ZOMG DODGE THE 30k fireballs from hell.

I'm apparently missing this...
I didn't see anything like that in the patch notes...

It is in the spell list, not on the patch notes.

The CC he was talking about is Hex. Turns you into a frog.

What I am stoked about is Spirit Link

Nice. That sounds awesome!

Now if only Shamans would get an "Oh shit" button like Soulshatter or Ice block.

Ankh.

heh, ankh'd.
