I like how they are looking, but then again other classes getting nice stuff too. anyway, shamanistic rage (2 points in imp.) makes us immune to stuns, snares etc, so can i say.. screw you rogues! (?) also 2 wolves, so basically, rogue opens with cheap shot, trinket - shamanistic rage and wolves, stick a flame shock on and gogo wf! i dont know rogues so well, is there any way they can stop us?

Q u o t e:
The new talents will barely be enough to counter what the other classes have now. Think we can compete with their new talents and spells? (Hint: no)


As has been stated for a while, all of the major class overhauls for all classes will be introduced with Wrath of the Lich King. What you have seen so far, from officially released information and from the play test area information derived from WWI is preliminary changes and implementations of abilities, changes and talents. They are in an Alpha state, and should be considered as such.

It is a bit rash to state, at this point, that what you have seen is "not good enough" - acting as if it is final and the only changes going in. As we enter the Beta phase of WotLK and open up testing to a larger amount of people, we expect to be getting a lot more feedback from different sources and perhaps viewpoints. We hope to make good use of this feedback as the expansion goes through it's Beta phase and until release. Not just for one or two classes, but for every class.

Comparing the relative strength of a current class on live realms to the addition of talents to just one class is a flawed comparison by default. What if the class you are comparing with got buffed/nerfed/changed in some way that makes it's current state void? What if the class you are comparing with still has some major changes not yet implemented? What if the same applies to your class?

Needless to say, we are looking forward to the Beta phase and all the changes and feedback it implies. We hope that you can do the same, and with a little patience - hang back on the criticism until you know what the final result for all classes will be.

After all, we want everyone to be able to enjoy their class to the fullest! :)
