To start I am extremely excited at the idea of Hero talents, however currently so much of the hero talents have no big flare. There are a few specs that do have some flare, but classes such as druid, rogue, and those like these do not have a big animation and chonky (yes chonky) sounds to make pushing buttons feel good.
We can ignore damage figures if the screen animation and sound is great. With the current settings to ignore other players animations, we can go a bit more over the top with hero talents and make them way bigger and better to use.

Grandiose power gains is what got us into the mess that was the former expansions. People think they want to go back, but they don’t really. Minor flavor upgrades and is more than enough. Every expansion should be a new adventure not a completely new/rebuild of every class.
But hero talents aren’t a rebuild of a class.

–Never said we should be getting huge power gains, in fact I said numbers dont matter…
“Minor flavor upgrades and is more than enough. Every expansion should be a new adventure not a completely new/rebuild of every class.”
– Flavor upgrades like modifying certain abilities to be a bigger animation/different dynamic/flow to a class but not an overall rework? Kinda like certain other classes are getting and some aren’t?

–Never said a rebuild, only more flavor/better feeling for hitting the buttons.
For instance, Boomkin hero talents are basically increasing damage or giving back treants which was baseline back in the day and now went from a talent to hero talents. So it’s either increase your arcane dmg and get a “flash” or get treants that look the same as the old ones and do nothing fun, unlike Demo pets interactions which look cool.

Shadowlands covenants were not well received. We walked down the road you are proposing and people are not a fan of going back.
Covenant abilities are not the same whatsoever.
