Blizzard has posted a Wrath of the Lich King talent calculator, which helps players explore the talent changes that are coming to WoW with the next expansion.

Are you curious about the changes and additions in store for class talents in Wrath of the Lich King? The new interactive talent trees for every class are now live on our talent calculators. Please note that all talent information is not yet finalized, and is subject to significant change during the testing process.

Read more here.

Well at least they are fixing one of my two big beefs with the druid, we now have access to root indoors.

My other beef was no talents to reduce the recast timer on rebirth spell.  I do not understand why they steadfastly refuse to add such a talent.

I'm curious to see how the new Rogue things play out. Sadly they don't seem to add much to a raid except from their DPS, but at least there are a lot of new ways to get more DPS from others.

The only problem I have is how badly Blizz nerfs things. That's the only reason I'm not excited at all about this news. The chance of these skills remaining the same are nill.

I just hope Druids are normalized by 80.  So tired of every other toon being a druid becuase people think they're so overpowered right now.  Or are they overpowered? Hmmm

I like the Warrior Fury talents, the new one that lets you wield a 2 hand weapon in one hand with a speed penalty. Imagine Swinging 2 Giant frigging weapons dual wield ....is that like a 4 hander? O.o

My main is a Druid, and my favorite spec is Balance. If these Druid talents stand, there's no way in h### I'm buying the expansion. These new trees just make things even better for Resto and worse for Balance. Doing some quick talent specs, just for a pure raiding build you come up 10 points short of what you would need to make Balance scale with other DPS specs. And PvP? Don't even get me started. If Balance is going to work, they need to combine enough talents through balance tiers 4-9 to elminate 10 points wasted.

For those who have never played a Balance druid, and Blizzard in particular, let me tell you exactly what is needed.

 

1. Better mana management in the BALANCE tree, such that a druid need not spec Intensity in Resto just to not go OOM when everyone else still has 75% mana. Note: Balance druids have no active mana regen ability besides Innervate, which is always, ALWAYS reserved for a healer any time you're in a group. If you use it on yourself, you can expect to be booted from the group and the guild, if it's a guild run.

2. Survival tools besides healing. Because healing for survival as a properly speced and geared Balance druid does not work. Period. Typhoon is a good start, but it's by far not enough. If that's all the survival tools Boomkins get, then Moonkin form needs to buff total health as much as Bear form to make the current survival setup work.

3. DPS. It's hard to tell yet just how the new talents will change Balance compared to other DPS specs, but past experience and looking at other new specs tells me this ain't gonna be enough. Boomkins are still going to lag behind everyone else by about 15-25%. (And that includes tank-specced Feral druids with Feral DPS gear equipped. . .)

So make up your minds Blizzard. Is Balance a PvP or Raid spec. Because it needs to work for at least one or the other. Currently  it works for neither, and the new talents only make it worse.

I still don't get why Blizzard seems to be releasing ALL the WotLK information months ahead of it being released. Do they actually have anything still hidden for WotLK launch?

MMO's are okay, just don't let them run your life.

I looked at them for a bit. I think it's going to be World of Warlocks all over again. All three trees have something cool. I don't know how well they will be used in pvp or pve but no doubt they will have the most fun. ShadowPriests, 2 years of nothing special, and again we see nothing special, I think a majority of those at shadowpriest(dot)com will agree.  Shaman seems almost like a rushed job, it's almost like "well what do we do with this class."

I tried Balance on my druid, dropped it like a hotcake, worst spec of any class that I have tried and I agree I don't see any help for them in these new trees.  They evidently don't want druids being damage dealers from a caster standpoint. 

Endo if any guild or group complains because you used enervate on yourself as a balance druid you are better off immediately leaving the group or guild.   You needn't associate yourself with such ignorant  individuals that don't understand the game.
