People don’t understand the real problem with the bear revamp.
It wasn’t just the berserk nerf, although that’s getting the most attention.
The problem is with the tree.
- Fact: Every spec’s tree has a different number of nodes and points you can spend in them.
MOST PEOPLE DON’T EVEN REALIZE THIS!!!
-
Fact: Despite every tree having a different number of nodes and point spots, everyone is stuck with the same number of points.
-
Fact: Everyone has 10 points to spend in the bottom third of the tree, because everyone has to spend 20 points to get there, but the number of things in the bottom of the tree is different for each spec.
-
Fact: Last week, the bear tree had 16 point spots in the bottom.
-
Fact: The new “improved” (lol) bear tree has 20 point spots in the bottom.
-
Fact: Blizzard actually MOVED stuff into the bottom of the tree that people used to take. But now, they don’t have the points, because while they used to be able to put them into the middle of the tree to unlock the bottom of the tree, now those talents ARE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TREE.
No it’s not. Idiotic design is the biggest issue.
Here was their “communication” on this:
THEY DID THE OPPOSITE. Moving stuff from the middle into the bottom, and stuffing the bottom with more new talents that people can’t get BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH POINTS is not “opening up” the bottom of the tree.
(Oh, and Prot Warriors? Yeah they have 14 point nodes in their tree bottom. So they can pick up almost 3/4 of their bottom talents. Bears get half.)
The way to “open up” the bottom section of a tree is to consolidate and reduce the number of talents. NOT to add more. Any 1st grader could figure that out.
