This is literally the main thing I wanted in the xpax
Who else is pumped?

Oh god, no. No, no, fel no, do NOT do this, Blizzard. We know how talent trees like this work, which is to say, they don’t. These will be cookie-cut to hell and back, just like every other version of this system the game has ever attempted.
DO NOT DO THIS, BLIZZARD. Do not go backwards. The only thing wrong with the modern talent system is bad individual balancing of talents, and this system is going to amplify that by 1000x.

I can’t wait to dump 5 points in to whatever the +1% crit talent is going to be.

I need to know HOW we’ll get the talent points. I doubt they’ll give them freely.
I expect a god awful grind.

Well then.
I like it, but I’m reserving judgement until it returns. If they are not careful the talent tree’s would be pointless due to min/maxing.

You’re not completely wrong here, but I don’t think there’s any implication that the new trees will be as “expensive” and limited in that way, as original. I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to tinker and the new approach will combine the best aspects of the original approach as well as what we have now!

Disappointed it’s two trees instead of three but it’s whatever, of the reveal the new talent trees are what interest me the most.
There is no way they can’t be. Skill tree-style talents are the most cookie-cut possible version of a talent system possible because the they route everything through a limited number of decision points to an end goal. Since the end goal is always the most impactful, all you’re actually choosing is that, and then working backwards what the most optimal path to get there is. Any tree-style talent system will have its optimal path set in stone before beta is over.
This is a HORRIBLE step backwards for real customization.

Wow really? Talent trees are back? Ever since the level squish I knew they could always bring them back.

It’s that exact reason why they removed it for a skill choice talent tree in pandaria. Indeed if done wrong, it will be a step back-wards
Yeah dude every time I see someone try to claim old talent system was too “cookie cutter” vs what we have now it boggles my mind. They are completely missing the point of making fun, whacky, stupid builds OUTSIDE of what may be best for raid etc. It’s rewarding to be able to make builds that aren’t “the build” and to have fun with a build YOU make

I actually said “yayyyyyy!” out loud when they announced this. And I am not the kind of person that shows emotion or joy… ever.
