With more and more talent trees coming out, the more confident I believe dragon flight is going to be a disaster.
Lets be honest what this ‘new talent tree’ really is. It is a system that is trying to meet the current talent system halfway between tree style talents, but with a hidden feature of ability pruning (which we all know how that went).
The problem is, every time I mess around with talents for dps specs it feels horrible. E.G. Feral getting forced to choose between incap roar or mighty bash is garbage. We get both of those abilities with the current setup.
Personally I believe that a system where each select an ability slot is open and you choose from a list between a poorly decided this or that choice. Please please discuss, we need to talk about this more because if this gets shipped in the current system will mean another terrible expansion.
When you talk about choices, I love it. I remember having to watch the breakpoints on talents close to get Warlock DS/Ruin or some “just one better” spec. When they showed how I can choose my own spells in discipline priest, I get excited.
I’m still a bit reserved on just how much min-maxing I can accomplish, but I believe the talents from MoP took too much decision making out of my hands. On the other hand, I’m sure Icy Veins already knows what my best tree is …
We haven’t seen much of the actual expansion yet, I don’t think talent trees are the DISASTER of Dragonflight.
Once you fill in the tree you’ll largely have what you do now, the trees also aren’t done yet, some new talents even.
I’m saving my outrage for when they actually show what the expansion is like, for example maybe we’ll have to do 50 world quests a week to farm dragon affection points.
I feel the opposite. I love the choices in the new talent trees, I have yet to see one where I was actually unsure of which way I wanted to go. That is the definition of a good tree to me.
im surprised yall dont care about losing an ability. It might not seem a big deal I guess but imagine the following; if feral druid is anything to show with the mighty bash / incap roar choice. (I really hope this is a fluke and will get changed…) but…
Ret Paladin: choose hoj or blinding light
warrior: choose fear or stormbolt
windwalker: choose legsweep or ring of peace
<insert any class/spec with a talented choice vs a baseline ability>
This isn’t even considering what was really nice about the talent trees from classic: getting to choose talents from other specs that you cannot do now or completely mixing different spec talent trees.
Just afraid it is going to be all of sudden, yeah well this is gunna suck but blizzard wont have the time to change it before release so just deal with it.
I guess with how many of you seem like its fine, makes me a little more hopeful. Or maybe its even worse.
A welcome change for everyone other than feral imo. Incap roar is so strong, you should have to sacrifice something for it, imo. And you already have two stuns between rake and maim, which is the same as rogues.
You’re gonna get a lot of folks in here that love choice to the point they’re ok with their class losing something they already have.
I don’t really care either way. My only feedback is I think the talent trees are unsightly and would prefer the old Diablo/Vanilla WoW style. I’d also rather them be much smaller with all the fluff like 3% damage increase removed.
I think the talent trees released so far look pretty good (ones I am experienced with at least). I think there are some people (and you may fit in this category) that are going to be upset either way.
