PvP talents feedback thread

For paladin:

  • The new talent, Shining Revelation, will be pretty useless because what are the chances that an enemy is stealthed at the same time I use Divine Shield? Stealth detection for paladins is a cool idea but the implementation needs a lot of work.
  • The other new / revamped talent is Luminescence. Seems solid, no complaints here.
  • Ret has 8 PvP talents, while the first two specs I randomly checked, Feral and Prot Pal, have 11 and 13 respectively. Ret could really use a couple more new talents / talents can be copy and pasted from Holy or Prot.
  • Spreading the Word with Blessing of Spellwarding should reduce your raid’s magic damage taken rather than physical (the game treats it as BoP). Maybe Sanctuary can somehow be added to this talent as well.
  • Looks like a theme across a lot of specs is to reduce button bloat. How about change Sanctuary to cause Blessing of Freedom to remove stuns? That’s the way this mechanic originally worked back in WotLK and it’d save a hotkey.

Rogue just had a bunch of talents gutted from their PvP arsenal without much explanation. I don’t PvP a ton, but I assume those particular ability were really troublesome to fight against.

Yea, I’ve only skimmed the list but looks like every class has had important stuff removed.
