YOU CANT DO THAT NOOB!!!

As someoe who still hasn’t made peace with the tree changes I was cursing when I didn’t see moonkin form in the tree thinking they had axed it .. then I saw the owlkin frenzy thing I don’t think I have ever used and figured it meant moonkin would be trainable.

I mean, you could easily pop your big CD’s then switch to balance spec until the CD’s come back…

In one Paladin thread GC starts out with “These are old talents. This is not the paladin revamp that we said was coming. Sorry, you’ll just have to wait a little bit longer.” Then he follows that with “Druids aren’t as far along as paladins, so I’m sure we’ll hear now how they are always last. :)” In other words, druids have a long way to go yet.

Also, I saw a comment to the effect that they’re still deciding whether the level 10 Balance skill will be Moonkin form or Starsurge. I think I’d prefer Starsurge, which makes Moonkin form feel like a real boost when you get to 31 points. Both would be pretty useful for leveling, though.

Based on the rate that things are going, I’d guess it’s going to be a few weeks yet before there’s a lot of work on Druids. And even then I think Feral may have more challenges than Balance/Resto. So I’m setting my alarm clock for August — no point in working myself into an Owlkin frenzy for a good while yet.

-Wild Growth-

(usual blabla) but then…

(while in ToL) Wild Growth hits 2 additional targets

guess we know one thing that ToL will do

These trees most be considered more than preliminary. It’s just a sketch, and sort of a joke to put them out there. I’m not going to dwell to much on the reasoning to put SO unfinnished tres out to public eyes, that is now done.

But as things are looking.. Where is the diversety for restos? where are my talents?
the talents I am really sad to see go is:
Gift of the Earthmother- That just looked really cool as a talent in the first beta trees.
Natures splendor- I like long hots, gives me more time to do other stuff
Naturalist- Since HT was going to be out long, big expensive heal, is haste the only way to make it faster? sigh, I guess it will be natures swiftness+HT for another half expansion.
I am also sad to see the passive we had before go. Specificly the hot’s heal more on wounded targets. That was just a good mechanic, but I guess is was a little OP.

don’t get me started on ToL….

Had a quick look for my other char, a prot warrior, same thing.. The only place I could find where there were a bit to play around with was after I had spent 31 points in prot and could move to other trees.. sigh…
More info and more development please!

I didn’t even bother checking feral or balance… will wait for a couple of Beta updates before I take a decent look

I liked the huge tree’s we had before better, these 31point thingies don’t give us much room to play with different talents…

I hope they fix us up soon, it’s frustrating to know the direction the talent trees are going in, but knowing ours are wrong.

Blue posts “31 points must be spent in the primary specialization tree before any points can be placed in additional trees.”

If we get swiftmend at level 10 by putting 1 point in the resto tree that one point will force us to put another 30 points in the resto tree before even thinking about the other 2 trees so healers will get swiftmend no matter what. The fact that its showing up as a talent point further down the new beta calculators shows the calculators and the blue posts aren’t on the same page so to speak. So basically we are totally clueless to what things will actually look like in Cataclysm

When I levelled balance I put 2 points in the resto tree for improved mark of the wild, not sure if it was worth it but it was nice to have a choice in hybrid builds while levelling at least.
