Concerning Heroic Talent Tree

From what I have seen of the heroic talent trees that will be added in the new expansion, it’s a bad idea. First, you’re naming them in a particular way that brings about an expectation. For example, everyone knows what a Dark Ranger is and everyone has an expectation of what a Dark Ranger should look like, but what you’re actually doing is just enhancing a couple of talents that currently reside on the class/specialization trees.

I would drop the naming scheme of the talents and simply put dragon portraits around talents that you want to enhance. Once the player character reaches a certain level, they get additional talent points, which they can apply to these dragon portrait talents, which, of course are only accessible when the character reaches a certain level. For example, you put one point in black arrow, once you character reaches level 70 a dragon portrait appears around the talent and you can further apply talent points to it.

There’s no need to create an extra shrubbery next to our talent trees. And you don’t have to waste a good heroic name.

Unless you plan on altering the animations of the class abilities to better reflect the “heroic talent tree” you are simply just wasting the name and creating an expectation that will never happen with this new system.

I think I rambled a little bit, but my point still stands.

Yeah call them dragon portrait trees and make every talent “Aimed shot has a 1% chance to reset upon casting aimed shot” even for non hunter classes.

And make every dragon portrait tree play an airhorn sound when you click a talent

Yup, and it’s boring AF. They are trying to be Guild Wars but failing. Hero Talents should come with their spell animations and flavors. They also feel like borrowed power systems which will inevitably change.

Is it even an idea? I feel like they are giving me talents in an expac. For me, that’s like selling a car and first pointing out that it comes with a drivers seat, then pointing out that the seat has options because the back of it reclines a little.

“Awesome, what else does it do?”

“That’s all. Pretty spectacular, right?”

What’s funny is that the current heroic Black arrow talent allows your black arrow to summon a creature, this was a feature that used to exist on the ability before Legion. They keep taking things away from us only to re-introduce it as a new feature.

The airhorn won’t bother me, I normally don’t play the game with the sound on.
