I am leveling a priest for the first time, taking talents that seemed interesting to me. Hit level 71 and am now faced with two red buttons as both hero talent trees I guess revolve around optional talents that did not interest me in the slightest.
So now I have to shoe-horn in a talent, give up one that I liked, and then re-learn a modified rotation to involve the talent I wasn’t interested in. This feels so lame.
Multiple halos look majestic af though.
so dont use the hero talent and just do less dmg???
Oh right.
Shadow really did get the short end of the stick compared to Disc and Holy, even tho I use Archon I know what you mean.
Halo is mostly unintrusive, since it just empowers a talent that occasionally replaces your filler spell.
The only change here is the priority on Mind Flay / Mind Spike if that’s what you’re using, and ofc having Halo and using it as a cooldown.
The other requires Void Torrent, and is also pretty unintrusive tbh, but VT is a deeper investment if you’re doing a wacky personal build.
I like the trees but I do have to admit that it’s pretty stupid to not have an option for divine star.
Do you want to have your hero talents be unusable, or pick halo?
Such a great choice node
Halo for DPS is much more generally useful than halo for healing though, isn’t it? Halo for healing requires you to be in a raid to get anything out of it, whereas in a DPS situation you will be hitting more enemies with Halo.
I dunno though, I haven’t played shadow yet.
Individually it seems OK to have a hero tree themed around a particular talent, even an optional one. Druids have a treant spec which makes no sense to take if you don’t take treants, for example.
But for a spec to have BOTH of their hero options be that way is not great. Couldn’t at least one of them have been built on a baseline ability, or work with both sides of a choice node?
bro i have the same problem on my blood dk, they want me to use marrowrend but i never took that talent because i role play a death knight who is bad at tanking.
